Taking the risk to repeat myself, I am always amazed about the roots and triggers of inspiration in general and in music for me. Sometimes, it’s obvious, sometimes, it’s a mix of a thousands things. In any case, it’s not always easy to identify, but usually funny to recognize! For this song, here are some hints...

Of course, as you can guess from its name, first is the city of Montreux itself… beautifully nestled between steep Alps hills and peaceful lakeside of Lac Leman: local, exotic, relaxing and creative all together.

Then, still talking about this town, less about its landscape and more about its world famous July's Montreux Jazz Festival, it leads to the second inspiration: Deep Purple' Smoke on the Water. Yes, sure, you know the story. If not, you should!

Also, the style of this track has been greatly shaped upon the influence of fabulous @AcuteInflections: yes, I like that "velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass" of those 2 New Yorkers!

And finally, regarding 18:20? I'm sure you will figure it out by yourself...

But, still, the path from the initial idea to the song you can hear now was long. The few basic tones crystallized from a small game I do play to warm up my fingers on the guitar, moving it from warming-guitar-tone-exercise to piano/contrabass based track was pretty fun, but it wasn’t enough. Something was missing and there I got help from Blaž Pavšič, who produced the final version of the track, supplementing it with awesome percussion.

Hope you will find the outcome of this collaboration as nice as I do. You better do, as I can promise it's won’t be the only one ;-)

Hello

Marble is nice and can be tempting. But is also both hard and cold.

"Srdce z mramoru" (Heart of marble) is bedroom indie single about how it is and how it feels when your heart is made of marble.

Rocking Gnossienne

Lively and energetic guitar rock about how it is when the love sailed into our lives.

Mixed and mastered by A7 Recording Studio (@a7-recording-studio, www.a7recordingstudio.com)
Produced by Blaž Pavšič

Is love a chance or a destiny? And how much do we choose the feelings we experiment? 
Some will say that romance feeds coincidences, and coincidences fuel romance, but this lively and energetic guitar based soft rock song takes the opposite view and explore the idea that love is mostly an accident - which by the way can hurt badly. 
One can not choose that event, but only his or her reaction to it. With a assumed amount of irony, those Czech lyrics invite us to consider that one cannot stop the waves, only learn to swim and go along, with more or less style: breaststroke, crawl, backstroke or butterfly… 
If you stop, you sink, so keep swimming! 
Or, maybe, by observing the waves rise and fail and never failing to rise again, you may lift yourself above them too, take place in a craft, pull out an umbrella to protect you from the splashes of two hearts which clash and wait… Wait for the ocean to stop being in love with the moon to finally rest.

Láska je náhoda

This release is a little different from my usual line, results from an obvious folk influence and turns around quite dreamy lyrics and romantic musical arrangement. The mood of this song is about allowing yourself to imagine another life, feel another world, transform one another and, by embarking this imaginary journey, actually just to be. A 3:15 minutes glimpse to a lifetime voyage towards an untethered soul…

Realizing this song brought me a very nice surprise in the form of a pleasant new collaboration. The lyrics required a female voice and I had difficulties finding the ethereal but not immaterial one I had in mind. The challenge persisted for a couple of weeks until I got in touch with Hana Pavšič - the talented Slovenian artist who covered this song with her beautiful voice and brought the extra touch to it, giving it this enchanted atmosphere I was after for this Magic spell.

Magic spell

Each of us has somebody up there whom we miss...

Not everyone is worth missing, but missing someone is hard for all. I miss you.
To make the pain lighter, one should learn from childhood to value everyone in their life to the fullest.
We indeed miss the most those we too often take for granted. At least I do.
Everyone is missing someone they somehow thought would never go away, or at least not so soon.
Experiencing the hurt, the loss is also a stroke of luck. Because it means I loved you.
Find the hope to see you again and the courage to keep memories present.

Hopeless, bitter and sweet

Allow me to introduce you to a very special music single that holds a deep significance in my heart. This track delves into the intimate moments that touch the very core of my being. Inspired by the beauty found in every ordinary morning, it captures the magic of a timeless routine, faithfully repeated day after day.

Regardless of the day that lies ahead, there is one moment that I hold dear. It's that precious instance when she awakens from her slumber, her half-sleepy steps leading her to the bathroom, where she gradually comes alive under the gentle embrace of the shower. This is followed by a leisurely breakfast, setting the pace for the day's responsibilities.

In this precise moment, in these comforting habits, lies the essence of my inspiration. And now, with great excitement, I present to you a soft rock track with heartfelt Czech lyrics, accompanied by the captivating and catchy backing vocals of Maja Štebih. 

Join me on this musical journey as we celebrate the beauty of everyday rituals and the emotions they evoke. Let the melodies carry you away, and may this single resonate with your own experiences and memories.

Po ránu

This song may appear simple, if not simplistic. This is right, it’s not a complicated, rather a common, story about opening the door to someone and having to let this someone leaves you one day through the very same door.

However, in life like in love, don’t let the ordinary fool you. The little things in life are the biggest ones and when you have to look back to realize it, you’re actually lost to those magical instants.
Zut doesn’t stand for « Zebra University of Technology », but for « damn! » or « oh, heck! » in French. Yes, in French! Writing in the language of Molière was an arduous choice. It took me a year or so to go from the original « kinda » French lyrics to the final ones, which were done in a bar, on a paper napkin, along a few drinks!

The melody and chords were the most intuitive to find, playing around for a few evenings. However, honestly, my accent didn’t suit the rhythms and atmosphere. Finding singers willing to contribute proved not to be an easier task! Finally, Oliver Neff aka Titanic Jack agreed to record the main vocals. Together with Maja Štebih with her nice back vocals, they made such a great work on this Indie folkish-poppish-rock track. 
Thanks to both of them for their time, trust and capacity to see, and bring, beauty into the world!

Foggy Glass

"Peace Sign" is an uplifting and melodic journey that captures the essence of finding hope and beauty in the world around us. Set at a lively tempo, this song tells the story of a radiant figure standing atop a hill, embracing the sunset with open arms and a peaceful heart. As the stars come out, she dances freely under the night sky, her laughter and spirit illuminating the darkness.

She is a symbol of peace, a beacon of love and harmony, full of inner strength and resilience. Even in moments of sadness, her tears transform into stars, reigniting the peace sign in her eyes and reminding us all of the power of dreams and hope.

Let the peace sign shine brightly in your heart.

Flying High (feat. Mark Henes)

"Anxiety Cage" is a raw and evocative reflection on the modern human condition, blending haunting melodies with deeply resonant lyrics. The song delves into the suffocating grip of virtual connections and relentless demands, painting a vivid picture of a soul caught between the pressures of a fast-paced digital world and the yearning for genuine human connection.

The lyrics explore themes of isolation, sacrifice, and vulnerability, capturing the restless urgency of trying to save the world "one byte at a time" while grappling with the emptiness left behind. As the clock ticks on and the story unfolds, the song closes with a bittersweet moment of connection—holding a hand, tasting ash, and questioning if understanding and salvation are still within reach.

With its emotive power and thought-provoking narrative, "Anxiety Cage" is a profound anthem for anyone seeking meaning amidst the chaos of modern life.

Anxiety Cage

It looks like spring is getting here. It raises all around. You can smell it. You can feel it on your face. You can almost touch it...
It reminds me the walk in the wood around Chalet-à-Gobet last year in the period of Indian summer. This special reminiscence awakens my emotions. And emotions turns in acoustic guitar, flute and upright bass and finally all this ends in this song.

Indian Summer

Are you also a daydreamer?
Wiki says that daydream is a fantasy that a person has while awake.

Daydreaming is the stream of consciousness that detaches from current external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction. This phenomenon is common in people's daily life shown by a large-scale study in which participants spend 47% of their waking time on average on daydreaming . There are various names of this phenomenon including mind wandering, fantasy, spontaneous thoughts, etc. Daydreaming is the term used by Jerome L. Singer whose research programs laid the foundation for nearly all the subsequent research in this area today. The list of terminologies assigned by researchers today puts challenges on identifying the common features of the phenomenon, in this case daydreaming, and on building collective work among researchers.

There are many types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists, however the characteristic that is common to all forms of daydreaming meets the criteria for mild dissociation. Also, the impacts of different types of daydreams are not identical. While some are disruptive and deleterious, others may be beneficial in some way.

Yes, I'm daydreamer. For this track I used acoustic guitar, oboe and clarinet, upright and supplement it with glockenspiel.

Daydream

When I was making "The bench" I was stating you can dedicate a song to plenty different things. Girlfriend, dog, kid, pet, sky, sun, summer, winter, holidays, feeling, wish, event, country, hero, childhood, bench etc.
And also to your best memory. And that's what I was trying with "Your best memory". However… it is not easy to say what’s my THE best memory. 
Each time I’m passing a good time I feel how the moment screams on me saying: “I will be forever your best memory!”.
Ye, right. One of many. And I feel glad to have them all.

Your best memory

When I started to work on "I pay" I prepared the chords, lyrics, trained the song and then, the moment I was about to start recording, my son came and asked for cosmic song.
Ye, all my inspiration for "I pay" was gone. And new inspiration settled in my head.

I remember I started to think about my career aspiration in his age. I was dreaming about to be astronaut, or pilot or garbage-man... My son is in astronaut phase.

It took me one evening to make him the song. And he immediately loved it so much that each time we sit in car he was asking for "cosmic one". It was top played song in the car for few weeks. I was proud he rated it between AC/CD and their "It's a long way to the top" (he called the noisy one) and Spirituál Kvintet "Beránek a vlk (Riu riu chiu)". 

Into the song I embedded the following original records:
- Discovery Go at Throttle up
- Apollo 11 Countdown
- Discovery Computers are in control
- Mercury 6 Zero-G
- Discovery Nice to be in orbit
- Apollo 11 Quindar Tests
- Apollo 11 One Small Step for Man
- Apollo 11 The eagle has Landed
- Columbia Welcome Home
- Sputnik Tones
- Cassini Saturn Radio Emissions

The cover photo was taken by my sister-in-law Monika.

I wanna be in NASA

Sometimes, she feels lonely. She may not feel that nobody cares. She knows I do. But she feels that nobody understands, not even me. That she has to make it on her own. That nobody can help her. That it's too much really.

This song is to tell her that I am here, here for her. To tell her that I can maybe not understand, but I can try. That she can speak about her anxiety. And if I don’t manage to understand, I will still always support her, in any case and against everyone. She should not be afraid. I will not leave her alone, and certainly not when she feels deep in blue. I will always make her smile again. This also reminds me that I am never alone myself. That, like memories, difficulties should be shared. That my beloved one will not leave me alone, and certainly not when I need her by my sides. And that she will also make me smile.

The cover of this song is from MaKo, based on an original drawing from her too.

I’m running

Takže po nějakém čase zase hezky česky... Čivava v černým lese je taková malá hříčka, co vznikla během večera na kusu papíru, kde každý kolem stolu přidal svůj kousek textu. 
Hlavně blonďatou Klárku to hodně bavilo. No prostě zábava na n-tou. No a ten kus papíru jsem pak dostal s přáním, jestli by z toho nešla udělat "nějaká" písnička. No jasně, že by šla.
Text se trochu učesal a během večera s kytarou k tomu byla i melodie. Pak trocha té zábavy při nahrávání a masteringu a čivava byla na světě.

No, snad tenhle kousek neurazí. Užijte si to a pozor v lese, ať Vás čivava neunese!!!

Čivava v černým lese

Yes, the cover picture is pinky, because the lyrics of this song are very romantic. Well, what to say? Sometimes, it feels good to loosen up a bit! And if you pay close attention, it’s not all sooo sweet, we sometimes fight, some days are less easy than others, but, yeah, Iove is there and some may want it to stay just like this, for as long as possible. And me, I would like her to know I feel that way, most of the time at least!

On a more technical side, this song is touched by some kind of psychedelics or rock ballad, with an electric guitar base and an unexpected duet, which took me quite a long time to work, rework, rerework and rererework, probably the longest time so far and I hope you will consider those slightly more than 5 minutes of music deserved it!

Close by you

Alternative rock underlined by an expressive solo guitar and recessive text by @stefan-svetsky in an emotionally tuned interpretation of @Ladat

Lyrics: Štefan Svetský (@stefan-svetsky)

You would certainly agree that some of the best moments in everyone’s life are those which were not planned? They have extra taste, something sweeter than the others.

This song has a little something from this. It’s a flashback as it’s based on an “old” song from early 2019: “It Rolls”, an instrumental rock track without any words. It made its own path on the wide internet, softly, quietly, until a gentleman commented it with enthusiasm. This gave it a new impulse, some kind of acceleration. We started to discuss and exchange ideas, drafts of lyrics, few tones of melody, an attempt of singing. From attention and discussion to cooperation and collaboration, without even really thinking about it… How nice?

Once the project got clarified, it still took me quite some time to record vocals. Lot of trying and deleting, retrying and redeleting, bit of frustration and impatience! It even reached a point when I started to doubt, if this was really a good idea. Sometimes, when it doesn’t work, it’s for a good reason! But sometimes, a small extra inch of inspiration helps to unwind things. In this case, it was “Pražský výběr” and the inimitable style of Vilém Čok which crossed my mind. One evening later, the final recording was done. Only mastering was needed more before presenting it to the co-author of this song and waiting for his feedback, which was positive and finally publishing it for you…

I hope you will like the result of this partnership, in the form of an alternative rock underlined by an expressive solo guitar and a funny regressive text! But, before you listen to it, understand me well: I don't and I can't compare my skills with those legends and I mention them only as a tribute to their great source of inspiration. Speaking about encouragement, let’s not forget about the words of Helen Keller, who certainly knew what she was speaking about when she said: “Alone we can do so little: together we can do so much”!

To se mi nezdá

Ladat, born Ladislav Tesar, is Litomerice (Czech republic) native, body and soul, who writes and composes his music in Chatel-St-Denis, Switzerland. Ladat is not a band in the true sense of the word, but rather a musical project that emerged in 2019 as an escape from reality, because things go better with music.

Ladat's musical odyssey defies conventional labels and freely blends elements of rock, folk, country, and jazz into a rich and genre-bending style that invites listeners to explore the diverse spectrum of influences that shape his emotional and diverse compositions.
As an experienced composer and lyricist, Ladat weaves stories that deeply resonate with audiences and offers a captivating and immersive musical experience, where each song is an expression of boundless passion, creativity, and an unapologetic celebration of musical diversity.

Since 2021, Ladat has been collaborating freely with the Slovenian A7 Recording Studio and musicians around guitarist and drummer Blaž Pavšič, such as Uroš Mohorič (guitar), Gregor Alič aka Hanson or Peter Beznec (bass), and singers Anton Premec, Kristina Jelić, Maja Štebih, Hana Pavšič or Oliver Neff aka Titanic Jack.
