SUMMER SNOWFLAKES: variations on a theme. Intended to be released at the first snow fall, but it never came... So I kept recording.

INSTRUMENTS used: Electric Guitar, two steel 6-stringed guitars, 12s guitar, classical guitar, two hardware keyboards (rendering the pianos, organs, bass guitar, chimes, bells, flutes, strings), pedal effects.

The music grew like a fractal in all directions and became quite vast in scope: should I have split it into shorter tracks? Many would say yes, but I didn't fancy that and instead went for the ”LP option"; an instrumental, meditative journey, inspired by the genre invented by Mike Oldfield in the 70s.

When I first heard his work, many years ago, I didn't first get it, but I was intrigued. "What is the purpose?" was my early reaction. But I couldn't shake it off and became hooked to the complexity of his instrumental music, and how it seemed to constantly mutate into new sections. I kept listening, and gradually discovered the many hidden secrets. And it led me to become very interested in classical music.

SUMMER SNOWFLAKES is made in this tradition. Not explicitly trying to mimic Mr. Oldfield, but admittedly clearly influenced by his method. And why not? Was it wrong that Brahms wrote symphonies just because Beethoven already had done nine legendary ones? Would the world have been a better place if Shostakovich had stayed away from writing Preludes and Fugues for the piano? Should no pop songs have been allowed after Beatles? I say, let us be shamelessly inspired by the gigants and make some efforts to create something! Throw an egg if you must, but I think any sincere attempt to compose is welcome.

When I decided to go for a full length track, my vision was (somewhat childishly) the thought of the younger myself; the days when I was a die-hard Oldfield fan and had stumbled upon a new release: always a rare event, an instant buy, running home, headphones on, expectations high, launching it: the first sacred discoveries ... My track may not live up to this, but is a tribute to those days and that feel.

The recording was quite an undertaking and I didn't want to let myself down. I worked on it since December 2018, and was occasionally quite frustrated about it. I avoided midi, and tried to hand-play it all (for the fun of it) - often leaving me in big trouble. I admit there are some sun spots due to this, but I consider them as my finger prints and evidence that a human did this, not a machine. .

Art cover: by DS 2021, reflecting the heavy reliance and overlaying of pianos and organs, and the combinational nature of the music.

Special Thanks to Mark Hermse, Mike Hilton and Wojciech Langner for support and inspiring discussions!

SUMMER SNOWFLAKES

I Can


Verse 1:
Yes you can say it
If you can say it, then you can do it
There are many struggles ahead
Meeting those struggles starts in the head
Say “I Can’ is the first step to overcoming those hurdles in life

Chorus 1 & 2:
You may think you can’t
But you can do more than you think
Step one is convincing yourself
Then figuring it out

Verse 2:
How do you accomplish what you desire
Put on the polish and turn on the fryer
The thoughts are not easy
Nor are they sleazy, but
The actions will challenge
And you may have to put out your talons
Start at Step 1, Step 1

Chorus:

Instrumental Verse and Chorus 3

Verse 4:
You are your own demon
Get to your brain a cleanin’
Your mind can be your friend
And put you on the mend

Or it can be an evil demon
In league with the devil’s legion
Get the do it mind set
Keep aimed with your sights set

I Can

The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

I think I've lost my account id and password there....I cannot upload or leave comments anymore.

I'm a chocolate addict. I eat it quite often. It's a good stress releaser. 

I like this jazzy feel of the track.

Somewhere Over The Chocolate Dreams

Are we once again headed for a frozen existence, on our little planet. With the increasingly catastrophic weather, for which we are all largely responsible, perhaps it will be.
 
Or will the planet instead burn up from an ever-decreasing atmospheric shield?

Or is our planet just broken pieces sliding through the void after we, humanity, could not speak to each other, choosing instead to annihilate and crumble the place we had in our universe with nuclear weapons........

Le clochard céleste

Inspired by the beautiful short story by EM Forster

The words are an extract.

The Celestial Omnibus

'It does not pay. It was not intended to pay. Many are the faults of my equipage; it is compounded too curiously of foreign woods; its cushions tickle erudition rather than promote repose; and my horses are nourished not on the evergreen pastures of the moment, but on the dried bents and clovers of Latinity. But that it pays! - that error at all events was never intended and never attained.'

Lyrics

Love is smooth

The symbols are smooth
Sacred numbers
Clues
Is it just me?
Or is it universal seed?
Coincidence?
A self expected pattern maybe?
Or our minds usb to true intentionally free

Let love choose your smooth
Let love win
Be spreading that grin
Ear to ear
Then we all hear clear
Love is smoothed
Go, maestro, choose!

I found the mood
In love it's always smooth
No rude, just food and thanks
The simple syncs this complication chant
The formula has no reason
Decosions by fate
My soul season

Let love choose your smooth
Let love win
Be spreading that grin
Ear to ear
Then we all hear clear
Love is smoothed
Go, maestro, choose!

I'm smiling at you
Smile at me too
Loving smoothed
Positive is proof
Teach our youth

Love smoothes
Love win will
While we're strumming
Ear to ear...
Where's your grin
Love must win
Make me smile
We running from miles

Yeah, smoothed
Smoothed
Smoothed
Smoothed

Golden ratio,
How many bars this time you gonna know?
I think it's a bout time we won...
Lets stop right now... Thats ah 161

The good old smile... It's contagious. the physical manifestation of projecting positivity. From birth our Mum's and Dads smiling faces solidify that reference for most of us lucky enough to have that. I try and get my kids to force themselves out of angry moments with a smile... It rarely gets as far as an attempt... But when they try it... It always neutralizes their negative feelings. We need more smiling at each other in my pea head opinion. It's not the whole song but wanted to give smiles a shout out and appreciate them for the amazing thing they are. Even with people you've never met. Your presence with them is instantly warmed by a smile... Here's to smiling 😊

I do crack up laughing sometimes imagining making emoticons in conversations and doing them for real...Sometimes they're placement in messages is hilarious when you imagine the person or yourself actually doing the face in a real conversation... We would all look like complete muppets 😃 Placed right though and in the real world... There's no beating a smile 

Imagine for a second 100,000 Israelis and 100,000 Palestinians... Some alien came along pissed off watching them... I bet that's how they fix it... Weapons taken... They all need to line up face to face, human to human and smile until it's fixed. One can dream 🔆

Track ended up 163 bars plods along at 88bpm

Love is Smooth

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)
