I don't believe

songs i forgot that i made that i found years later and like

something wrong 2

In year 2016 we made the successful ascent of Aconcagua (6,962 m).
It was good rock&roll. 
I still have in my mind the hard moments when we have been nailed down to ground on the place called Portezuelo del Viento evaluating if we still have a chance to keep going up.
All this memory turned into this kind of folk&jazz piece. I had good fun to make this music. As good as making this nice summit with good band of friends.

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

You can dedicate the song to your girlfriend, to your best memory, to your dog, to kids, to pets, to sky, to sun, to summer, to winter, to holidays, to bad feeling, to your wishes, to life event, to your country, to your favorite hero, to childhood… you name it.

Well so I dedicated this song to the bench. Yes, to the bench in south Bohemia city Cesky Krumlov. The bench situated on the border of river Vltava I saw in the middle of winter night and I wanted to spend few moments by sitting on it. And I did not find the path to reach it.

That view stays in my mind and I turned it into this song dedicated to that bench.

The bench

Freezing but sunny day around Schwarzsee (or Lac Noir if you prefer).
Easy going, simple and enjoyable day with family captured by acoustic guitar and bass in this easy listening song.
Enjoy your easy going moments!

This simple song is about how people can hurt each other.
But it is also about how they can forgive each other.

It is about how each of us follows our own star but how it is always more enjoyable to share it with someone else.
And how it sometime takes time to realize it.

Or simply... It is about how this song needs a better singer :-D

Northern star

This song is about becoming a father, what it feels like, what comes along with the title and how it changes your perception of priorities...
It comes from my discoveries that you could expect that it’s blood and genetic that makes you a father, but how quickly you realize that it’s rather hearth and feelings, hopes and fears that defines you as a Dad, that it somehow leads you to unconsciously develop dreams and aspirations not only for yourself, but also for your family...
It doesn’t explicitly speak about some other facts, even they are there too, as tangible as the laughs and tears of your kids, such as how quickly being a father replaces money in your wallet by « first time passport pictures » and confuses you enough so that you start mixing names and calling your dog by the name of your kid...
And the best, or the worst, is that this doesn’t happen only the first time, but it repeats and increases when a second little human comes to life, is born, grows up and opens his or her wings.
This song is dedicated to my first daughter, my second child and to my life changed for good.

Anam Hermit - Roberta (Prod. The Italian Job Remix)

Where There Is No Light  - feels a bit like a manifestation of what we could potentially hear in space, between planets and beyond. The piece plays around with the echo and reverberation of sound. The track includes: the marimba, viola, violin, double bass and cello. An interesting listen. Enjoy.
