Way Of Synth

Visualizer youtube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zyTyoFnLOmg

“Egress”, a piano-driven piece set against a soothing lo-fi atmosphere. This song was created to provide listeners with a serene and intimate listening experience, blending the timeless elegance of piano melodies with the relaxed, textured ambiance characteristic of lo-fi production.
The composition invites listeners to pause and immerse themselves in a soundscape that evokes tranquility and introspection. The subtle imperfections and organic elements woven into the track mirror life’s quiet beauty, creating a warm and nostalgic mood that resonates deeply.  “Egress” offers a balance between minimalist simplicity and emotional depth.
The production emphasizes gentle dynamics and layered textures, allowing the piano to remain at the forefront while ambient sounds provide a supportive backdrop.

Sanctuary

Now into my seventh decade of living, and celebrating my fiftieth anniversary this month as a guitar player (I should play better than do;), I wanted to drop this "little ditty" as my attempt to keep up with the likes of Bill Liggett (@soundcloud.com/greenfleamusic/tracks) and other notable players on this fine platform.  Actually it's an attempt to keep up with myself, seeing if I can still play what I learned 40-plus years ago, in the case of this song, the introductory licks I learned from a very fine Kansas City lounge musician, Mark Bell in 1979.  For those keeping score, you may remember it from the song "This Motel Room" by Jimmy Buffet--a fun and clever song that details the many nights touring musicians have to endure staying in motel rooms.  I took the initial licks heard throughout the song and built an independent melody line around it, half blues ditty, half musical joke, with a serious moment (you know I have to have one of those:), all with the hope of bringing a smile.  I'm proud to say I can still play it, and maybe, just maybe a little better now than then:)  Bill, just don't ask me to play it live;)

One Thing

Hello everyone,

Many of you probably know this feeling. You start making music and completely lose track of time. The hours fly by, and suddenly it's late in the evening or even nighttime. I wanted to capture this theme in a lighthearted and humorous way.

I'm really happy that I was able to produce this song together with Mike Fox. Mike liked my idea for the arrangement and lyrics right away, and he was immediately on board. How much we appreciate each other can definitely be heard in the lyrics.

For this song, we were also able to bring in two guest singers—but just listen for yourselves! What they sing is probably something everyone in a relationship has heard at some point – or am I wrong?

Mike and I certainly hear it very, very often! 😆

"We Should Be Asleep By Now"

Axel walks in, right on time,
Says “let’s rehearse” – I pour some wine.
He’s got a plan, I improvise,
But rock ain't played by suits and ties!

Mike plugs in, makes feedback scream,
Calls it “tone,” I call it a meme.
He swears his solos shake the land,
But his hands shake more—he can’t withstand!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

You press one key, a full band plays,
No fight, no sweat—just modern ways!
I bend my strings, I break my bones,
You sip green tea and check your phone!

Oh please, Rockstar, not so loud,
Last night you snored and shook the crowd!
You call my sound too clean, too bright,
But at least my back don’t ache at night!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

My riffs still shake my hometowns sky!

My chords still make the neighbors cry!

Six strings, raw soul, full of might!

But my keys sound’s programmed right! (Here we go)

We should be asleep by now...

Come on, Mike, let's listen to the backing singers.

You should be asleep by now!

Oh Axel, put on your glasses, these are our wives.

You should be asleep by now! 
You should be asleep by now!

Alright, Axel, your keys ain’t bad…

And Mike, your solos (still) drive ‘em mad!

We battle, we clash, we push the fight,
But side by side, we light the night! 

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

We should be asleep by now

We Should Be Asleep By Now

Opening fanfare, dark, mysterious, epic, for an imagined Blade Runner or Dark City sequel.

Mon esprit bleu, Mère Lusine

Pure focusless ambient. The greatest challenge is to actually stop the production somewhere, these tracks can get unhealthy long. But I like it. You can compose these zoned out with eyes closed, completely immersed into it.

Lost In A minor

A darkwave single from the upcoming album Pop 2.0.
Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWk-S1GDFEk

You lured me in
Through a veil, so thin
A rogue weekend to play pretend
Oh, end
This tragic day
But before I lead myself astray
There's one more thing I need to say

Just fade away
Walk away
My happiness has gone astray

Your love was cheap
You're such a creep
This black heart
Is yours to keep

Your lies were thick
The end came quick
And all that mattered
Was burned and scattered
Burned and scattered


Pop 2.0

Burned And Scattered

Electronic ambient music is hard to describe in words. Take a listen and describe it by yourselves, I guess! Anyway, always fun and great relaxation to produce these tracks. And thank God for Omnisphere! This instrument plugin really helps me to deal with the life and get to the Peaceful state of mind...

Peaceful State of Mind

Just bunch of nice software synths, peaceful evening, closed eyes and waves just emerge by themselves. If only there would be more moments like that, in all that hurry of life...

Grace of Lady La Mar

Sometimes it is necessary to make a happy tune. Or you will drown in all that big sounds and epicness. Besides, it is a nice training to do something completely different...

Coloring Audible Synapsis

Will human kind ever leave Earth to outer space? If so, how will it work? As a bunch of frozen bodies in cryogenic capsules or are we going to convert ourselves into a software running in some spaceship supercomputer? Will anybody stay back on Earth? And why? What will be the songs of those leaving and those staying?

Cosmic Diaspora

Music inspired by the dystopian futures of Blade Runner, I Robot and all the wonderful Science Fiction of the Past and Future.

NEXUS: THE SYNTHETICS

Reached the edge. The suns are hollow. Nobody mentioned the sound.

The Edge of Hollow Suns

Rain cloud

Music is the greatest human invention, the only language that speaks to us all. It would be a shame not to share my share. Just for fun, just for mere survival of one man's mind. Thank you for listening!
