an old track that for reasons I won't go into appears again

Bounce My Way On Outta Here

Contemporary classical music for synphony orchestra, choir and piano (no electronic, no effects).

Not a sonata in the classical sense, rather a one-movement symphony in classical sonata form.

The tritone is considered a dissonant interval (3 whole tones or 6 semitones pitch spacing). But ultimately it is only our dualistic comparative intellect that judges this. In the absolute, in the divine, these distinctions should no longer exist. The natural beauty in the seemingly imperfect can be more beautiful than the artificially perfect.
In this piece there are countless of tritone intervals. Listen and feel...

Tritonus Sonate

August marks 3 years since the passing of Per-Olov Lemhagen, Master Peo, as he was known on Bandcamp, mp3u.com and other music platforms.

Peo was a clarinetist and used to play in a swing band in the 50's in Sweden. His familiarity with the instruments, arrangements and all that goes into creating authentic band pieces made him a valuable mentor in the American Jazz classics.

This one, Darktown Strutter's Ball is such a piece, and it was always a joy and a learning experience for me to lend a vocal to Peo's arrangements.  This is loosely based on Ella Fitzgerald's version of this classic.  Peo wanted to slow the tempo for his interpretation...which worked for me too ;)

In memory of Peo.

Lyrics:
Darktown Strutters Ball

I'll be there to catch you in a taxi, honey.
Better be ready about half past eight.
Now baby, don't be late,
I wanna be there when the band start playing.
Remember when we get there, baby,
Two-steps, I'm gonna have them all,
Gonna dance out of both of my shoes,
When they play that Jelly Roll Blues,
Tomorrow night at the Darktown Strutter's Ball

Songwriter:  Shelton Brooks

Darktown Strutters Ball

(I replaced the previous file with this new, improved and longer version.)  I hope you will listen again to this version!  Finding the way is as simple as following a smell, a sound, a premonition, a previous experience, spiritual guide, (and Google!). My inner compass is to trust my instincts, my senses and conscience. Life is way too complicated, and sometimes there are no right answers.  In music, I can usually find my way to the end of a song.  When it happens, the reward is beautiful! (somethings it takes many tries too!)

The Way

This is an urgent song 
I wrote it after watching some documents from the association 'Expedition 7eme continent' 

C'est une chanson urgente 
Je l'ai écrite en regardant des documents de l'association 'Expédition 7eme continent'

Deep inside it lies
Yet, it's out of sight
But you'd never guess its size
'Cause, it's out of sight

Under the waves now

Oceans weep, their yarns untold
Our future is sold
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell

Yet, it's out of sight

Underwater sense
All these particles in a toxic trance
Despair or Esperance
Nature that calls for a second chance
Will we still finance
The show, undersea, of a deadly dance

Under the waves now

Oceans weep, their yarns untold
Our future is sold
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell
A nano plastic ruined the game
Our life won't be the same

We'll cry this plastic age
And we find it strange, how huge is this change
The water cycle, then
Will send back again, this plague to the men
Deep down inside our throats
All those tiny boats, will convey the notes
For a dark new score
Then we'll say "no more !", and we'll pray

Oceans weep for their disease
But I, but I can't breathe
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell
This nano plastic will ruin the game
And Life won't be the same


-----
Au fond profondemment, cela git
Pourtant c'est à l'abri des regards
Mais vous ne devineriez jamais sa taille
Car c'est à l'abri des regards

Sous les vagues maintenant

Les océans pleurent, leurs histoires ne sont pas racontées
Notre avenir est vendu
Un minuscule plastique tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer

Pourtant c'est à l'abri des regards

Sensation sous-marines
Toutes ces particules en transe toxique
Désespoir ou espérance
La nature demande une seconde chance
Financerons-nous encore
Le spectacle sous les mers d'une danse mortelle

Sous les vagues maintenant

Les océans pleurent, leurs histoires ne sont pas racontées
Notre avenir est vendu
Un minuscule plastique tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer
Un nano plastique a ruiné le jeu
Notre vie ne sera plus la même

Nous pleurerons cet âge de plastique
Et nous trouverons étrange l'ampleur de ce changement
Le cycle de l'eau, alors
Renverra de nouveau ce fléau aux hommes
Au fond de nos gorges
Tous ces petits bateaux, transmettront les notes
D'une sombre nouvelle partition 
Alors nous dirons "plus jamais ça !", et nous prierons

Les océans pleurent leur maladie
Mais moi, mais je ne peux plus respirer
Un plastique minuscule tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer
Ce nano plastique va ruiner le jeu
Et la vie ne sera plus la même

Music: Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocals & lyrics: Janne Hennie

In a world full of material things, that promise you a better life
In a world full of words that mean nothing at all
Stop for a minute and think it through
Shake a little loose , only you

can stop superficial around you
you may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier
Or do you need something else?

Do you need a bigger house
Do you need a new car?
Do material things really define who you are?

Just stop for a minute
and think it trough
shake a little loose, only you

can stop the superficial around you
You may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier, og do you need something else?

You better stop

Stop for a minute and think it trough
Shake a little loose, only you

Can stop the superficial around you
You may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier
Or do you need something else?

You can hide behind your things
But you can't hide who you are
You can hide behind your words
But they doesn't make you real

Just Stop for a minute and think it trough
Shake a little loose, only you

Can stop the superficial around you
You may ask yourself
Do all this make you happier
Or do you need something else?

You better stop....

Stop For A Minute W/ Janne Hennie

Strange Colors In The Sky

Hello. I love different kind of music and try no to stay in a comfortable style. In a song my priorities go to melody and harmony but what counts in the end is the emotional impact of the song. I do everything by myself with my DAW and i am therefore also interested by tips in mixing or on composition. I'd be glad to share advises and receive feedback and comments. Wish you all the joy and pleasure that only music can bring. 

Those who inspired me and who always have a special place in my mind for their whole creation and their wonderful melodies : Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush. I tried some covers to remember some of their songs.

I must say that i am a bit disapointed by GenIA nowadays applied to artistic creation. I think there is already too many sounds on soundcloud that was one of the last place for 'real' artists, i mean human. This is so easy and quick to release something that it will soon overwhelm and discourage all newcomers and I really hate to be cheated by an IA when i listen to a voice. When i was young the promese about robots was to make them do what was painfull and what we dislike (hard and dangerous physical work), but never art ! And now we will soon have machine to have fun and we will keep hard work for us

Thank you for listening.

Anglais ou Français ? Je n'ai pas de préférence pour la musique. Je vois bien que la langue que j'utilise influence ma manière de chanter et le style de la chanson en général et j'aime cette variété. 

Jetez aussi un oeil aux paroles. Elles sont sur toutes les chansons
