this is a fun ride.  i like the experimental blues.

Quand les rêves nous reviennent dans la journée....

When dreams come back to us during the day....

Vapeurs de rêve

Vapeurs De Rêve

Taking its title from a fascinating book of the same name by writer, publisher and ultra-runner, Robin Harvie, this tune attempts to give musical expression to the reasons why I regularly lace up my running shoes and leave the house to pound the country lanes and footpaths near to where I live when there are arguably a thousand-and-one more "important" things I could be doing with my precious time.

Robin's book is both an intriguing study of his own personal journey to the start line of one of the toughest ultra races on earth: the Spartathlon, and a pleasingly detailed history of the act of distance running itself. This, my first electronic music release for several months, is much more modest in scale - very much like my running ambitions (at least when compared to Robin's) - but it could be said that it attempts to capture and articulate the same, natural urge.

Why We Run was made entirely in Ableton Live v11 using Spitfire Audio's LABS plug-in for some of the component sounds. It was composed and recorded during spring/summer 2022.

Why We Run

Originally saved under the working title of 'Microspunto 13', this piece started out as a test of a Steinberger guitar I built from scattered parts found on the internet. I still own that guitar and it is one of my favourites and most used guitars ever.
The track was made in my home studio in late August and early September 2010 and never made it beyond the DEMO stage.
There is also an alternative version of the track with an electronic drum section created by Tommaso Fiori. I'm looking for it in the archives, as soon as I find it I'd like to put that one online too.

Summer 2010 (DEMO - September 2010)

Tim and I continue our musical conversations and the kind of tonal quantum entanglement we delight in. Just letting the changes come in the flow of the music. Listening deeply and letting whatever will emerge, to do so harmonically and gracefully.  Kinda like conscious living itself. 😉

As usual, I'm on the Upright Grand Piano and Tim's manning his Telecaster.

We trust you'll enJOY this second Improvisation from our early August 'Mystic Heart' Session.

Lyrics:

Let the inspiration strike like lightening and charge the living flame
Within without throughout the fabric of existence
Keep it shining through the rain
Hold the flame
Find a way to keep it balanced
And bring love to a new day
To a new day

Even in the midst of oppression
May you find a way to shelter your love and compassion for the soul of the world deserves the best that we can give
Nurture it with peace and goodwill for everything that lives

Look out to the stars in the sky
So very far away
Bursting into the darkness
Bringing potential for new life
In their decay

Embrace the change (x9)

Embrace the changes
We will all die sometime
While we’re still here though
Why don’t we just try
To let the inspiration strike like lightening and charge the living flame
Within without throughout the fabric of existence keep it shining through the rain hold the flame find a way to keep it balanced and bring love to a new day to a new day

-----------Dropping Name------

Chorus---
Am I here or there
am I far or near
your signals aren’t coming through clear…
——just call me
just call me
and you know i’ll be there

aint playing no games—full on flames
I refer to myself when I start dropping names
IPG1—Lou—Level One Up
It can’t get no better he’s the cream of the crop
That’s word to the letter

Stop pop and lock can’t hide from the vibe
come along for the ride let me be your guide

Is it—— The pen that I write with 
the ways that the rhymes hits ——
the headphones and lyrics 
Or cadres I flow with —- 
it’s now time to drop this 
On —the mic it’s a tight grip ——
that kick drum—-that won’t quit 
the sounds that I mix with ——-
let’s get it —-a tight fit
I ——listen and edit ——
then—- Blend and produce this
Ignite the track gets———lit—— 
Stand back as I rock this
aha -aha ——-awe shit

I bring fire to the game
Ignition to the flames
IPG1's the name----
That's Always been my aim
It's a scorcher-------so I gotta --heat it up
Im the author ---Gimme music nonstop
I flow hot ---------better make it HipHop
Off the top--- 
just like a volcano
Spreading fast---------
so ----you know ---like I know
-----Can't stop it ------it's a Raging  inferno
-------Blazing-------sweltering-------heating up--here we go
get engulfed ---there's no where to can hide bro
Just bob your head --the tracks on full auto
Fire storming— you should just call me Pyro

I Rock the beats——to make you move your feet 
the beat plus the rap style equal technique 
technique technique technique I’ll deliver 
style so cool I’m about to make you shiver

I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—
I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—

Chorus-----

I am the original concept the roots of it all
most started off big I started out small
Resistance is futile I can’t be contained 
try to keep me down you must be insane 
oh—-now I’m about to go viral 
like a full-blown tornado in an upward spiral 
keep growing with the music as if digitally installed 
my next upgrade will be a wake up call 

I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—
I Rock the beats—I Rock the beats—

Dropping Names

Lots of selfmade, mostly bedroom- or cellarproduced tracks here, different styles because of different moods and music tools, often selfmade instruments, allways experimenting and on the search of sounds and soundmaking stuff, harmonic and non-harmonic....and all free to listen and to download ...and if you want to use one of my tracks or try a collab, just ask, do it and tell me about it... all in terms of Creative Commons...
I have to make music every free minute, allways full of it, and, about time, I have a lot of toys to do this ... these tracks are my kind of relaxing and i will do it till the end of my time...
I hope, you like, what I do....You may find a lot, but no autotune and no AI, I swear...
You cannot OWN music, you only can MAKE it.... (something, Neneh Cherry said)... and so I do...
I never learned an instrument, I am an analphabet in music theory, but that's not important: 
I AM an instrument and there's always music inside me.... and I go on...
SC is my diary: The diary of my steps into the world of music since 2012....
if you want to know something about that: you're welcome!
One of my tracks is especially made for you... 
Try the playlists ; )
Remember:  I DON'T WANT TO BUY SC-PLAYS:  I'll block EVERY try and all those trendscout-robots!! If you like my stuff, listen to it, feel it and tell it to your friends, that's enough.....
