there was no whey

So what now?

The pieces are set,
The board is occupied,
The main actors have taken their positions.

The inevitable is coming,
Fear fills hearts and minds.

Will what many predict come to pass,
Or will fate turn in our favor?

The core of our beings has been seized by the machine.
The art that defined us is being smothered by a flood of perfect artificiality.

Simulation of emotions, simulation of art, simulation of humanity.
Where do we belong?

Where is my place?

And what now?

This is a piece I improvised on March 23, 2025. I was surprised at how well it turned out. However, I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't think of anything more, so I'm publishing it as is, with minor tweaks (I literally added six notes in three places).

With this piece I am starting a series in which I will be posting rather uncomplicated, short pieces, created out of the need of the moment, under the impression of something specific.

To compose it I used only 3 plugins/sounds
Spitfire LABS Autograph Grand (piano) (free)
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings x2 (in octave)
And one patch from truly amazing synth from Arturia: Pigments

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

And What Now?

Not everyone is on holiday, even in the heat of summer. Some still work while the city falls silent, stretched under a long, empty day. I can’t tell if the man expects something to happen; to me, it feels like nothing will happen today either. Anyway, everything's good.

This is the third in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

In case nothing happens - part 3 (noon)*

the drums and the sequencer at the beginning are by d&b, I lowered the tempo from 170bpm to 140 and then added the psytrance synths... ;-)

QUE FONT NOS DIRIGEANTS

A song from my EP SUPERNOVA. I wrote this song to make people happy when they listen to this. 129 BPM. 2m43s. The main genre is Alternative rock. This is a fun song. This song is influenced by Britpop, too. I'd say this is more influenced by Blur. And this is also influenced by Interpol. I personally think this is an interesting song.

Baby, sorry

And the story
Her white room is fadin', too
You could stole me
But fear is a psychedelic truth
I'm sorry
"One, two" I'm the monster true

She is lovely
Her sister is planning cruel
'Cause I know it
'Cause I know he has what to do
Take it easy
Evil can't beat the good
Please tell me
Why I'm your No. 2

She wants to sing
He wants to sing
Let's sing along

Ah.....
