good food entre le pied et la basse, les guitares font le job. Le groove est là. seul bémol l’intro est un peu longue. On attend des vocaux qui n’arrivent pas.

really digging the vibes on your track here. Nice work mate.

Kind of reminds me of the white stripes... Good job on this one!

Beautiful arrangement, like to hear some vocals next!

Pale Ontology

A Guess

lament for the famous lost tree of the sycamore gap

sycamore tree

Original Lyrics:
Holding something that should never have been here
As the ghosts watch over us, swimming in fear
Is there a place where the rivers flow
Where the skies are clear and real trees can grow
A place where the ghosts cease to be
Is there a place where we can roam
A place to our one true home
It’s not a world where no one can be free
The swallows leave earlier now
The glaciers weep their silent vow
The ghosts of the past dancing in the dreams Chasing the future of our faded dreams. (Mate, you’re 16. You haven’t even started your dreams)
These thermal ghosts, made from our extremes
A new age begins, from the last one that died

I think they were good lyrics. They paint a pollution filled world and offer a Utopian one.
Counterargument:
Rocket: You didn't want to make things perfect. You just hated things the way they are.

So I asked Jasper if he wanted to collab and he said yes. I sent him ‘Say It Again’ saying it would be nice to get the drums done on them by next month. He sends me Thermal Ghosts with the lyrics, and tells me he’s going for ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ and I get it done  in a day. He asks me if I like the instrumental and ‘yeah.’ It’s not the most mind-blowing prod but it has a pretty good groove. He sends me a minute of the song so I sing 1 minute worth of lyrics. He wants me to loop it so that it goes longer. I ask him for a favor saying could he please loop his own song. So he copies and pastes the parts so you can hear a gap in the recording. So I then improvise and finish it in 4 minutes. 
He has now traveled from Australia to WAB for a field trip. So he was one of the kids with black hair and a fringe cut.
By this time, he still hasn’t done anything with Say It Again so I send him Veni Vidi Vici and say, “it’s OK if you can’t get the drums to me, I’ll just use programmed drums.” Meaning- You’re probably too lazy to get to it. For production, to fill in the gap I produced the whole thing again with programmed drums/guitars and figured out his …3 chord song. Not even a dom7 for the 5th degree? No. It’s a 3 major chord song. The most complex thing it has going for it are the drums which has the 2nd kick syncopated. There’s also 2 layers of bells going on. I also added simple bass and backing vocals. Yes, it makes my hairs stand up. The acoustic section in ‘You Had Me’ also did but the mixers ruined it but that’s mostly on me for choosing those guys again. For this one, the mixer sent me a version which I thought had the drums too loud and the vocals didn’t make my hairs stand up but sounded like perfection. So on the 2nd revision, I asked to have 20% of the reverb/effects removed and it worked. 
The irony is that the environment is the last thing I care about. I care about people first. I’m sort of with George Carlin. My take is that with a perfect environment and assholes running around there’s no point. Also, let’s just say Earth dies. Bigger picture wise, the universe will do just fine. The bigger environment-the universe lives on. Nonetheless, I did put my heart into someone else’s beliefs as you can hear. It has also reignite my interest in writing good lyrics cos’ if he hadn’t written good lines I wouldn’t have emoted.  There are also environmentalists who give a damn about human beings as much as the environment like Spiderman and I can respect that.

Straight Through My Nerves

legenden

denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben.
denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben.

ist es wie eine party,
 wenn wir uns wiedersehen ?
oder wird es mehr weil wir uns gut verstehen?
oder weniger, weil  draussen mit uns so viel passiert?
oder ist es einfach gut, wie es jetzt funktioniert?

wir brauchen geld, gegen die welt.
denn das was zählt, ist nicht das was gefällt, 
mittendrin gibt es sonne, sonne  oder regen, 
zischt es durch trifft es alle, jede  oder jeden.
geht die reise weiter, dann nicht die gleiche leiter. 
denn für das death valley gibt es keine reisebegleiter
jetzt ist  klar, ich glaub du weisst noch wie es war, 
in dieser geisterbahn auf eigene gefahr.

denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben,
müssen sie selber bleiben,
sie müssen sich entscheiden, 
müssen sich entscheiden.
ah hahaaa

denn legenden können sich nicht selber schreiben,
sie müssen sie selber bleiben,
sie müssen sich entscheiden, 
müssen sich entscheiden.
ah hahaaa

denn legenden können nicht sich selber schreiben,
müssen sie selber bleiben,
 müssen sich entscheiden, 
müssen sich entscheiden.
ah hahaaa

FEELING LOST NOW

It was like in the spy action movie. You find yourself in the middle of atomic bunker of communist era with mission to find the secret document and escape before time’s up and guardians catch you.

It was about 2 years back. We made our first escape game in the heart of Prague. And yes, we did it!!!

Escape Game

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.
