Syntaleta 🇺🇦 - Close To The Rainbow , Konrad Spittelberg --- Lighthouse On The Rocks (Solo Piano)

When I was a child, I practiced my fingers to the bone on this song on my first piano! Slightly changed and freely interpreted, of course. I hope it pleases one or the other, who can think back to that time...

Tell Me The Tales (Long, long ago)

One of my works recorded in my "previous" life before the war. Sometimes we feel tiny and lonely in the Universal. Lately I feel tiny and helpless facing the horrors of the war in my country...

Lyrics:

Hey little lamb won’t you come to stay
Watch out for the rugged men today
They’ve come to try and change your way
Won’t you see the light before too late
Stay on the honest path please don’t you stray
Honest I raised you I say

Love your smile
All the while
Wherever  
You are found
Remember me freely when you need me even when I’m underground

I love you more than money could corrupt
Don’t worry I’m safe on the sand
I took what we had tired and bankrupt
Straight and narrow to the promised land
The sun’s setting now and I must go attend
To the little lambs the best I can

Underground

Introduction in English:

Sometimes I dream that I meet my great musical idols. When I was intensively occupied for a while with one of my passions, the French chanson, it happened that in one of my dreams Jacques Brel sat opposite me in my small Berlin living room and gave me the assignment to write, in my way and with my possibilities, something like a sequel to his great chanson "Ne me quitte pas".  Whereas here he had described the fear of losing a loved one, now I was to describe in my song what it was like to have lost this loved one forever. 
And on the basis of this nocturnal dream collaboration, my French chanson "Je t’ai perdu" was born. 
The cover is again by the Polish artist Renata Golab.

Lyrics in English:

I have lost you

I have lost you 
lost forever

Just wanted to hold you
Keep you warm and safe

Just wanted to protect you
Protect you from abysses

Protect you from demons
Protect you from the falling

Yes I know 
You will never understand

I know
You'll see it differently

You feel dominated
Dominated by me
Controlled by me
Imprisoned by me

You feel enslaved 
For all eternity

I have lost you
Lost forever

Just wanted to love you  
Love you unconditionally, unconditionally

Strengthen you for life
Strengthen you for becoming yourself

To raise you gently 
Lift you up against the Hades

Over, gone
I have not reached you

Nothing that remains
The oath of revelation

Reap your hatred 
Reproach and hatred
Your scorn and mockery
Scorn and derision

I have lost you
For all eternity

Französischer Originaltext:

Je t'ai perdu,

Je t'ai perdu,
Perdu pour toujours

Je voulais juste te tenir
Garder au chaud en toute sécurité

Je voulais juste te protéger
Protéger des abîmes

Te préserver des demons
Préserver de la chute, de la chute

Oui, Je sais
Tu ne comprendras jamais

Je suis conscient
Tu verras les choses autrement

Tu te sens dominé
Dominé par moi
Supprimé par moi
Enfermé par moi

Tu te sens asservi
Pour l'éternité

Je t'ai perdu,

Je t'ai perdu,
Perdu pour toujours
Je voulais juste t’aimer
T’aimer sans condition

Te renforcer pour la vie 
Renforcer pour devenir soi 
Te redresser doucement
Te dresser contre l'Hadès

Fini, passé
Je ne t’ai pas attaint
Rien qui ne reste
La déclaration de reddition

Je récolte ta haine
Tes reproches et ta haine
Ta moquerie et tes railleries
Ta malice et ta derision

Je t’ai perdu 
Pour l'éternité

Je t'ai perdu

Je t'ai perdu (I have lost you)

Another composition recorded before the war. I hope one day I will return to my home studio. Any support from you is much appreciated on these extremely hard times for our country, our family. 
I could have recorded much new music for the last 9 months... unless russians came to our yard to "save" us with their tanks, missiles, bombs and war planes at 4 a.m. on Feb 24th. And yes, they saved us from our house, from our normal life, from our dreams and plans. They saved my elderly parents from their home and peaceful life in retiring, saved my daughter from happy childhood, from school, from her friends and vacation by the sea. We'll never forget and never forgive it! I'm sure that russia will get what it deserves - each rocket they launch on Ukraine will turn to another 10 years of disaster for their cowardly people.
 Special thanks to Houman (@houmans) for mastering the track! Please check out his wonderful soundtracks.

Broken Dreams - Paploviante

Setting My Mood

N.B. 11/07/2023: at last I think I managed to delete the more disturbing noises!! And keep quite the best of the recording ! Hope you better enjoy the song now 🎈 … and the new cover art 🤩 closer to the chorus ❤️‍🔥

it's been a dilemna to choose wether or not I would publish that track:
1. After hours and hours of work on mastering to remove the huge amount of noises on that old tape recording , it was only half a success...
2. I love this song!... despite its not perfect sound

Hope you’ll validate the option 2 :)

Bruno (future Loony) wrote the song, programmed drums, played the bass and the guitars, and sung.
Composed in July 16th 1989
Recorded in January 1992 on Yamaha 4 tracks

The song has been played live with the Catsbleed between 92 and 94, meeting a bit of success 🎈

We're delighted to offer you our latest track as the power-duo Shekinah Fire *

As we improvised this electric Tone Poem using only Tim's Custom Atilla Guitar and my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano, the Solar Winds definitely seemed as if they were blowing thru our instruments... releasing sounds of passion, glory, and the occasional Solar Storm.  But we'll leave it up to you to envision.  :-D

Again, this is an improvised composition of many movements, born of our letting go of any pre-planned design, depending only upon Deep Listening and where the Music was leading us.

May you enJOY!

The inspiration for this track is a vision where I am not sure whether it is a faint memory from some childhood holiday or whether I have dreamt it  :
Standing on the edge of a rocky cliff, gazing out at the tumultuous ocean below. The waves crashing against the rocks with a thunderous roar, the force of the water sending a spray of mist and foam high into the air. In the distance a lone lighthouse
overlooking the scenery. A glimps of the power and majesty of nature and our own smallness in comparison. 

Composition-wise: The piece consists of three parts (@0:01, @0:59, @1:45) that always start with the same 5 note-motive but then develop into three distinct variations with different characteristics but throughout the track there is a certain sense of dramatic scenery.
The left hand is throughout the piece mostly in octave jumps (which became quite challenging condition-wise at the end of the piece) that segment the 4/4 beat into groups of 3-3-2 (the only notable exception is the part @0:35ff with its chromatic baseline).
The right hand alternates between lyric parts such as in the beginning or @0:59ff and rhythmic syncopic parts such as @2:30ff that leads to the final where the right hand preceeds the left hand by a beat to create a sense of energy.

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding compressor, reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

Guitar: The Boilerman https://soundcloud.com/boilerman-615719656
Music, Lyrics, Vocal, Electric Piano, Bass, Drum Programming: Jan Schonander

Resung, remixed and remastered from almost four years ago.

This is a clash of psychology with science, and, well, early The Cure meets Bowie's Scary Monsters. It's easy to be close to somebody and still not be seen or heard no matter how loudly you speak. Mixed all this up with some actual invisibility science, so believe it or not, in terms not being seen this song stands on solid physics, until it doesn't....

BEND THE LIGHT

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you
You walk by me
I’m a meta material
New spectrum
No infrared
I’m headed to the Blue Hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m gonna be famous
I’m gonna be famous

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

You bend the light
But I’m gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I’m famous

Bend The Light

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

Stairway to Light

Conflicting feelings among arpeggios and a lot of acoustic rhythmic guitar. I tried to add some arrangements, but "goblin" (feeling while playing / ad libitum - what's the english for that?) was too much limited.

Sentimientos encontrados entre arpegios y mucha rítmica a pelo. Intenté ponerle acompañamiento, pero el duende quedaba demasiado encerrado.

Lyrics/Letra:

El mundo está oscuro sin ti,
la vida no tiene sentido si no estás aquí. 
El tiempo pasa rápido, 
contigo es la paz y la seguridad de estar abrazado.

La seguridad de estar a tu lado
hace que el tiempo no pare... (bis)

Hay tanta gente en el mundo, 
tanta gente por conocer.
La tranquilidad de estar a tu lado
hace que no me decida... (bis)

¿Merece la pena esa tranqulidad
que me mantiene ignorante?
¿Merece la pena esa paz,
y rechazar la variedad?

Son las dudas de siempre,
desde tu seguro regazo, no sé qué es mejor.
Quiero buscar algo nuevo, 
intento convencerme de que no, nada es mejor.

La seguridad de estar a tu lado
 hace que el tiempo no pare...
La tranquilidad de estar a tu lado
hace que no me decida...

No sé qué hacer (Contigo es la paz)

Listen Buhari (Letter To Da Presido)

Hype Mc Plat G - Listen Buhari (Letter To Da Presido)

The piano is not just an instrument; it is a storyteller. My lifelong companion. Each piece holds the memory of a moment in time, of a period in life. Here, I share my personal journey—one miniature, one experiment, one story at a time.

I’m Konrad Spittelberg, 52 years old. Though I’ve always called Vienna my home, I have pursued various interests, building an interdisciplinary background that spans education in Latin and Greek, studies of Mathematics, Physics and Economics and a carreer in Consulting and Risk Management. Sometimes, you might also find me immersed in games of Go, Chess or D&D. 

But only when I’m not making music. Of course. Still then, all of my interests have shaped the way I think — and, in turn, the way I compose.

The instrument of my life is the piano. I play it since the age of six, the first 16 in music school with my dedicated teacher Margarete Gerlach (and also thanks to the city of Vienna to the incredible publicly funded music schools!). My piano playing saw multiyear interruptions due to travel and workload. But in recent years I’ve found the time to pursue my passion again—with renewed joy. I devote many of my evenings to developing, refining and rehearsing my piano miniatures. 

I inhale music wherever I find it. In the echoes of Renaissance motets or contemporary cluster music with my local choir, which I joined 30 years ago. In music running in the background of a fashion store which I Shazaam for later enjoyment. Or live concerts - there are so many gifted artists in the world! 

My music is a dialogue between tradition and exploration. Rooted in classical and romantic traditions, it ventures into jazz, rock, and pop.  I love to experiment—playing with unexpected tonalities, syncopated rhythms, and dynamic contrasts. My compositions often evolve through shifts in tension, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic modulations, sometimes venturing across the circle of fifths. I’m also diving deeper into the art of mastering, an area where I still have much to explore.

If my music speaks to you, I’d love for you to follow my journey. Follow along, share your thoughts—whether in appreciation or in challenge. Music, after all, is meant to be a conversation—and I’d love to hear your voice in it.
Enjoy your time with my music!
