Terrestrial Mechanisms

I am delighted to give my contribution for 'Ode to Life', a project created by talented artist and friend Wilfried Hanrath. 
(https://soundcloud.com/flyingtonefish)

'Ode to Life' is a cry to be and remain human regardless of religion, land, present and future. A collection of various artists.

Phonocene/Fonocene is an excerpt from my latest book 'Beginning and Other Tragedies/Inizi e Altre Tragedie'.
This track is voice only, a crescendo of pathos and anticipation, which I hope does justice to the theme.

Phonocene

We’ve recognised our sound
in this Phonocene.
We’ve shared significance
and a territory, a place to be.
While feeling and hearing
birds crashing into the sky
trees imploding, people
tearing apart and decomposing
we cry out our phonos
of pure joy and echoes of grief.

We walk this Phonocene
with our eyes closed, stuck
in between bewilderment and action.
What can we do but hold on
and be memory for one another?
What can we do
but belong to life?

Fonocene

Abbiamo riconosciuto il nostro suono
in questo Fonocene.
Abbiamo condiviso il significato
e il territorio, un posto in cui essere.
Mentre percepiamo e ascoltiamo
uccelli schiantarsi contro il cielo
alberi implodere, persone
andare in pezzi e decomporsi
gridiamo il nostro phonos
di pura gioia ed echi di pena.

Camminiamo questo Fonocene
ad occhi chiusi bloccati
tra stupore e azione.
Cosa fare se non resistere
ed essere memoria l’uno per l’altra?
Che cosa possiamo fare
se non appartenere alla vita?

I'd like to thank Audric for joining me on this song. Audric has been hard at work on some music he's eager to finish, but after I sent him this song he was kind enough to put his music on temporary hold so that he could play his blazing, virtuoso guitar solo. 

Audric and I both have our feelings about what this song is about, but we leave it up to you the listener to consider making your own meaning. Art is always open to interpretation. Art doesn't live in a binary universe; rather, it has gray areas and what I consider to be art may not be artistic at all in your view. I just ask that you listen with an open mind.

I thank you, as always, for continuing to return to my channel, and for supporting my music once again. 

All my best, 

Roger

DIRTY HANDS

Dirty Hands (featuring Audric Jankauskas)

I wore the siouxsie shirt
Without realising what it was
The coolest girl in school
Came over to ask what songs I liked 

And I felt like dirt
When I had to admit I hadn't a clue
About the band
I'd just bought the T shirt totally random

And the smile drained from her beautiful face
And her mohawk sagged as I embraced
The embarrassment 
Of it all

But later in life
I got a wife
Who wears siouxsie all the time
And she knows her 
Hong Kong Garden
From her spellbound and happy house

SOULS

What Is Our New Normal?

Stay seated throughout the show, no dancing! 
The journey continues. Collectively, we’ve been lucky to see a live show whilst freedoms are restricted.
As the world scrambles for normalcy, what is the new normal and how do we move to a new future?
Our journey continues.

A perfect track to chill out and contemplate on the earthly upheaval we’ve seen and experienced of recent times. 
A collaboration with Neil Parker & Chris O’Shea (ParQushea)
Production Neil Parker AKA (Orange Peel)
Credit to Sunyata for the inspirational melody line contribution.

What is our new normal

I make music during my free time Just for fun with instruments as Akai APC Key 25, Push 2 (Ableton 9.7) ...

I love to use various kinds of samples to try differant styles as the Future Bass, Oldschool Beat, Trip Hop ...
With the Push 2 of Ableton it is a real treat ;)

The download is free .
Good listening ;)
