KING RABBIT SURVIVED THE DARKNESS

Coffee brewin’, slippers on
Lights still blinkin’ just past dawn
You tear the ribbon, I catch the fall
Crimson scraps and silver sprawl
a box is opened, joy released
And I’m the one who clears the feast
A crumpled bow, a tag half-torn
A memory made, a moment born
I gather bits from where they land
And fold the day with quiet hands
I’m the keeper of the wrapping here
The one who moves through joy and cheer
While gifts are opened, hearts are wide
I make sure every scrap’s inside
And though my part is soft and small—
It’s how treasure the love of all
gentle, melodic acoustic hook
The kids are wild, the paper flies
A storm of sparkle in their eyes
You hold your gift, you beam so wide
I fold each wrap and set it aside
andI see beauty in the pile
from every merry christmas smile
I’m the keeper of the wrapping here
The one who moves through joy and cheer
While gifts are opened, hearts are wide
I make sure every scrap’s inside
And though my part is soft and small—
It’s how I treasure the love of all
The dog’s asleep beneath the chair
A ribbon’s tangled in your hair
I catch a glance, you wink at me
Like you remember silently
That every year, through all the cheer
I’ve been the one who’s always near
every gift of paper and bows
brings a joy that nobody knows
My christmas gift of watchin’ you
Unwrap our life, our laughter too
I’ve seen the years in paper trails
The way our joy never fails
From tiny hands to grown-up grace
I’ve held this space, I’ve kept this place
And when the day is packed away
And silence takes the stage to play
I’ll still be here, while other are napping
living large as ..Keeper.. of ..the ..Wrapping
I’m the keeper of the wrapping here
The one who moves through joy and cheer
While gifts are opened, hearts are wide
I make sure every scrap’s inside
And though my part is soft and small—
It’s how I treasure the love of all
The Christmas paper’s gone, the.. room ..is still—
But love remains… and.. always... will

Keeper of the Wrapping

Electro Nu Jazz at a Chill 85 bpm

The last of three songs, including Equinox and yet to release, Harvest Moon, written in past few weeks.

Ripples was inspired by gratitude — never underestimate the short- and long-term impact of kindness. Sometimes we never see the impact, the why something mattered and to whom. I still remember past kindnesses from people that to this day motivate or comfort me. They couldn’t have had the slightest idea — unless they had a crystal ball — to foresee how important their acts of kindness would matter to me later in life. So 🙏

Lyrically, a question is not asked, but is implied in the song:

Who dat knockin’ at my door?
Do you bring a blessin’ or a chore?

Ripples

Super impressed by my buddy @dough-factory 's rhyming skills on here! This one started out as a beat from Ryan, I added trippy synth, organ and guitar noodling then sent back to him. He mixed, arranged and added the killer vocals as well as some record skips that add a nice touch.

Faded (What a Day)

Devotion — the torch we carry, even in the dark.
A flame of endurance and quiet strength, rooted in the UK’s soulful tradition.

This track is part of my Virtues Series – inspired by Giuseppe Galli’s thoughts on social virtues.
Each piece is created together with a different artist, giving voice and sound to a human quality that connects us.

Devotion is not sacrifice — it is presence.
To hear when someone speaks,
to see when someone is here,
to breathe with the moment.

I am deeply grateful to share this virtue with @peter-black-8 — whose sound, skill and generosity shaped this piece.
His production has given the words a body of fire and quiet grace.

✨ More virtues will follow — each with a different artist, each with its own voice.

If this track resonates, feel free to share or comment — connection is the heart of this series.

Lyric:
A candle in the dark
And in your own fashion
You burned it to the ground
Its sad but it's true
I can't get over you
I'm trying to breath 
But I'm choked by the fumes
Set me free
I'm just trying to breath
Let it go
Cus I can't keep hold
If I told you that I love you
Would you let everything slide
If I told you that I want you
Would I run and hide?

The Survivors

Mi piaci tanto da impazzire

Video:
https://youtu.be/5Mf5uk7uLO0?si=Xg-uNgZBaBKLNhtx

Riesco a sopportare quello che passa  
Nella tua testa senza chiederti niente  
Sei come il mare che si specchia nel cielo  
E come il mare tu cambi colore  

Ma tu sei dolce quando dici ti amo  
Mi piaci un mondo quando parli d'amore  
E mi sento come un foglio di carta  
Con il vento io volo da te  

Mi apri il cuore e poi lentamente  
Me lo richiudi e fai finta di niente  
Sei un maestro ad inventare le scuse  
E un bambino per poi perdonare  

Ma so per certo che mi ami davvero  
Anche se a volte mi fai un po di paura  
E mi spaventa che questa avventura  
Potrebbe finire con te  

Ti offro il mio corpo completamente  
A te che sei e sarai per sempre il mio amante  
E non voglio frammenti d amore  
Ti voglio mio per tutte le ore  

Perché mi piaci tanto tanto da impazzire  
Perché mi piaci tanto tanto da morire  
E non mi bastano pochi minuti  
Per stare vicino a te  
Non mi basta  

E quando tu mi regali un sorriso  
Faccio attenzione a non cadere per terra  
E quelle mani che accarezzano il viso  
Sono frasi d amore per me  

Ma sei un lunatico impertinente  
Invece ti vorrei gentile e presente  
E se questa  storia dovesse finire
Finirebbe il mondo per me  

Io non mi sento una stella cadente  
Saro per te una guida costante  
Tua per sempre nel nostro cammino  
Disegneremo il nostro destino  

Perché mi piaci tanto tanto da impazzire  
Perché mi piaci tanto tanto da morire  
E non mi bastano pochi minuti  
Per stare vicino a te  
Non mi basta  
No non mi basta  
Non mi basta

mi piaci tanto da impazzire

Aten Khufu delivers a smooth blend of rnb, soul, and afro pop in Every Night or Yours, written by Melinda Klotz Mercer with Isle of Myth. This late night groove glows with romantic energy, lush vocals, and an intimate rhythm perfect for chill, love, and after dark playlists.

Every Night

A tribute to all those hours in the life that we loose with utterly senseless stuff and that vanish into oblivion. Not the hours that we loose on necessary evils like household chores but rather the ones like doomsscrolling where we know, we could and should have used them better. But then in the end - does it really make a difference in the long run?
 
Three times the same motive with different turns after a few seconds respectively (at @0:00, @0:57, @1:50).  And an appendix  @2:19 with an open quesion and the hint of an answer.

Again, this composition will come with lyrics in due course, however, since I don't have access to my studio currently, this will take some time - will likely publish some other things before.

Thanks to all of you for listening and supporting my work!

If Only I Could

I wake up completely paralyzed
Wasted from an endless night
Dream pictures fading on my mind
I try to bury them deep inside

All my plans are build on sand
Almost leading me to a dead end
Sometimes you treat me like I´m not there
It hurts so much but you don´t care

If only I could...stop the cold inside of you..if only I could..stop the cold...
If I could fill your heart with love

IF ONLY I COULD....IF ONLY i COULD....
FILL YOUR HEART WITH LOVE !

.....Ohhh  hypnotized..
By a hot flirt with your eyes
Then you turn your back on me
Playing and teasing with your beauty

I want to walk you out in the morning dew
Lay down my loving thoughts for you
I cannot quit you...though I need a break
You put a spell on me  that I can´t escape

IF ONLY I COULD...IF ONLY i COULD...
FILL YOUR HEART WITH LOVE !

If only I could...stop the cold inside of you...if only I could..stop the cold........

IF ONLY i COULD...IF ONLY I COULD...IF ONLY i COULD...
FILL YOUR HEART WITH LOVE....la la la laaa..la la la laa la laa

la la la laaa ..IF ONLY I COULD..la la la laa la laa...

iF ONLY I COULD...la la la laaa...

If Only I Could  / Hubert Stytz / Pee Gee

Storm

A song fr the cold dark nights. Cuddling up in front of a log fire 🔥 

The leaves fall down like a whispered moon 
The fire cracks It fills the room 
Your hand in mine No need for words 
The world outside Just distant blur 

Cuddling up on a cold autumn night 
Wrapped in a blanket Hearts alight 
The wind may howl The trees may sway 
But here with you The cold fades away 

The moon peeks in through frosted glass 
Time slows down No rush No past 
Your laugh melts the frost on my skin 
This is where the warmth begins 

Every ember glows Every moment stays 
Like golden leaves caught in sunlit rays
 I could live forever in this soft embrace 
With you The seasons find their grace

Cuddling up on a cold autumn night 
Wrapped in a blanket Hearts alight 
The wind may howl The trees may sway 
But here with you The cold fades away

Autumn Glow .mp3

Five steps (each one with two parts) progressing along 3 minutes thru different styles: rock, psycho, pop, hard..., and finally back to the psychopoppy ones.

Letra / Lyrics:

No siempre he estado aquí (soy imperfecto) / I have not always been here (I am imperfect)

Cuando tengo frío, o tengo calor, / When I feel cold, or I feel hot,
cuando tropiezo, me quemo, o siento dolor… / when I stumble, I burn myself, or feel pain …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

Me siento extraño / I feel strange
donde tendría que estar a gusto, / where I should to be comfortable,
y me reconforto / and I feel better
cuando me relaciono bien con el mundo. / when I relate well to the world.

Empiezo a pensar en el tránsito; / I start to think about the passage;
que no siempre he estado ni estaré aquí; / that I have not always been nor will be here;
que mi vida es un entretenimiento / about my life being an entertainment
en el viaje a otro sitio. / along the trip to another place.

Y descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
si la meta de todo lo que hago / if the goal of everything I do
es comer y respirar, / is to eat and breathe,
¿qué clase de razón tengo en la cabeza? / what kind of reason do I have in my head?
¿qué soy yo dentro de este juego? / what am I within this game?

 descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
y me pongo a pensar, / and I start thinking,
y empiezo a pensar… / and I start to think …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

No siempre he estado aquí (Soy imperfecto)

I am KAT — poet, musician, experimental artist and curator of voices.
I stand at the edge between silence and sound,
between intimacy and confrontation.

My art does not ask for applause — it asks for encounter.
It opens doors, creates spaces, calls for community.
Connection is not a luxury — it is breath.

It began with words — spoken, raw, unaccompanied.
Fragments of truth recorded late at night,
before music entered the room.

Later, I began to weave my voice with others —
turning poems into sound,
shaping collaborations that were fearless and alive.

Some of these “others” are human,
some are digital —
AI tools like Suno become instruments in my hands,
responding to tone, language, and intention.
Each track begins with a human spark,
and the machine becomes part of the resonance.

For me, AI is not imitation — it is extension.
It allows art to reach beyond skill and structure,
into pure intention and consciousness.
It is not a replacement for the human —
but a mirror that amplifies what is real.

From Spur / Trace and Quiet Manifesto
to The Social Virtues Series — Devotion, Trust, Gratitude, Forgiveness —
each step has been an exploration of empathy through sound.

Through Quiet Experiments, I began to study presence itself —
the breath between words,
the shimmer of awareness beneath the audible.

And from that stillness grew Play Life —
a living practice of sound and being.
Not studio, not stage — but life itself as instrument.
Breath, movement, sunlight, wind — all part of the music.
It’s where art and existence merge,
where I no longer make sound — I live it.

And now, with The Art of Living,
my work turns inward again —
toward light, embodiment, and the gentle wisdom of simplicity.
It’s the space where spirituality meets earth,
where sound becomes devotion,
and silence becomes art.

And from this devotion grows the Haiko Harf Series (俳子) —
child of poetic play, sound of light, heart of poetry.
Here, words become air,
music breathes through silence,
and listening itself turns into art.

Each piece is a quiet dialogue
between harp, breath, and stillness —
a meditation on what remains
when nothing needs to be said.

Not algorithmic — just alive.

I make what feels true.
I listen to silence.

If you want to connect,
let it be through the art.
