Good Tunes #60 [For the Two Job Grind]

"Perché Dormiamo?" First DEMO version. Composed in the evening between the 5th and the 6th o January (probaly). The Piano sound was probably a Quicktime MIDI system sound. 

The title of the track came to me in the summer of 2006 at the Natural History Museum in London, looking at  a shrine with the reproduction of a small dinosaur portrayed in the act of sleeping.

The question that arose kept running through my head like a melancholy riddle throughout my stay in London.  "Why do we sleep? Why do we sleep? Why do we sleep? Why do we sleep? ..."

I finished the piece in January 2020, but still couldn't get an answer.

Perché Dormiamo? (DEMO 2007)

I walked by the WW-I monument in my old home town of Minitonas  many yrs back..As my mind wandered to that time in our history my imagination took over and this is the result.

Forgotten Memories  ''Original from time past''

When I close my eyes
I dream of blue skies
Of green leaves and grass
Of pleasure and us

If you clear your mind
I know you will find
That moments don't last
You better think fast

Hold me 
I'm cold now
My lips are
Turning blue

Tell me
You love me
I want this
To be true

Cool bass and drum groove with quirky, loose jointed, and repeating patterns. Somewhat like my cats routines.

Thank you so much Aleck (Dean)and Chuck.  It`s such a JOY to collaborate with you two :)

"Que reste-t-il de nos amours ?" What Remains of Our Loves?  This song was first recorded by the French female singer Lucienne Boyer in 1942. Music by Léo Chauliac and Charles Trenet and lyrics by Charles Trenet. A version of the song with English lyrics entitled "I Wish You Love" is recognizable by the opening line "I wish you bluebirds, in the spring".

I Wish You Bluebirds in the Spring.  Aleck Rand, Chuck Weirich, Oddrun Eikli

Since pre-historic times, man have been in love with colours, collecting pigments from various rocks and plants to express themselves with cave and body paintings....the artist was born.
In medieval times great painters paid Immense amounts of money to have certain colours produced with particular pigments, these pigments came from all over the world, these same pigments today are worth small fortunes, and the painters knew how important they were, their painting still look alive today.....this is my homage to colours...

Pigments

This is about a place i love in portugal where my step family lives where sadly we found lithium...
(traduit plus bas)
-----
It's a small piece of paradise but
I get lost all the time
When I'm alone
When I feel sad
It's rising up, knocking my beating heart, and now, every night

There are no  words to describe it 
You know, this view is unique
have a  look at the sight
So what about Earth ?
What about us ?
What are we waiting for to wake up ?

Gazing, watching the sky from this place
Stands for all the speeches
Protect my river
Please save it

Gazing, observing life in this place
That's what learning is
Protect the river
Please save it

All ressources, Commodities 
Have soon raised the stakes
And within months, companies came
Sounds clear, the paradise that blinds them
Is more and more lithium

But we'll waste it again
And we will dig again
Even deeper, harder, everywhere !
And the rivers will disappear, polluted at their heart
And our tears will form new rivers to come
 
Gazing, watching the sky from this place
Stands for all the speeches
Protect my river
please save it

Gazing, observing life in this place
That's what learning is
Protect the river
please save it

Gazing, watching the sky from this place
Gazing, observing life in this place
Gazing, watching the sky from this place

C'est un petit coin de paradis mais
je m'y perds tout le temps
Quand je suis seul
Quand je me sens triste
Ça monte, frappe mon cœur qui bat, et maintenant, chaque nuit

Il n'y a pas de mots pour le décrire 
Vous savez, cette vue est unique
Jetez un coup d'oeil à la vue
Alors qu'est ce qu'on fait pour la Terre ?
Qu'est qu'on fait pour nous ?
Qu'attendons-nous pour nous réveiller ?

Regarder, contempler le ciel depuis cet endroit
Ca vaut tous les discours
Protégez ma rivière
S'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Regarder, observer la vie à cet endroit
C'est ça l'apprentissage
Protégez la rivière
S'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Toutes les ressources, les matières premières 
ont rapidement fait monter les enchères
Et en quelques mois, les entreprises sont venues
C'est clair, le paradis qui les aveugle
Est de plus en plus en lithium

Mais nous le gaspillerons encore
Et on creusera encore
Encore plus profond, plus fort, partout !
Et les rivières disparaîtront, polluées en leur cœur
Et nos larmes formeront les nouvelles rivières 
 
Regarder, contempler le ciel depuis cet endroit
Ca vaut tous les discours
Protégez ma rivière
S'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Regarder, observer la vie dans cet endroit
C'est ça l'apprentissage
Protégez la rivière
s'il vous plaît, sauvez-la

Regarder, observer le ciel depuis cet endroit
Regarder, observer la vie dans ce lieu
Regarder, observer le ciel depuis cet endroit

Protect My River

Etincelle

Tout ce poids sur mes épaules, Ces jugements.
Chaque jour jouer un rôle, inlassablement.
Garder ma place au milieu de l’affolement,
Suivre les règles du jeu aveuglément.

Jouer des coudes et trembler d’être écarté,
Prévoir, engranger, compter, tout planifier…
Me débattant pour tenir dans la mêlée,
J’ai oublié, pour finir, de respirer.

J’veux lâcher les peurs, les querelles, les blessures et les tourments,
Faire de ma vie une fête à chaque instant !
D’une petite étincelle, faire un brasier flamboyant,
Nourrir d’amour et de miel mon cœur d’enfant !

Y-a-t-il un autre modèle de société
Sans l’érosion actuelle des libertés ?
Me faut-il pour être heureux, tous ces objets ?
Dois-je être fier ou envieux pour exister ?

J’veux lâcher l’argent, les paillettes, l’orgueil et les faux-semblants,
Faire de ma vie une quête d’émerveillement !
D’un sourire à la sauvette, faire un bonheur scintillant,
Nourrir d’amour et de miel mon cœur d’enfant !

Et si on osait s’unir, se rassembler,
S’entraider, se soutenir, pour avancer…

Lâchons les peurs, les querelles, les blessures et les tourments,
Faisons de nos vies une fête à chaque instant !
D’une petite étincelle, faisons un brasier flamboyant,
Nourrissons d’amour et de miel nos cœurs d’enfant !

Lâchons l’argent, les paillettes, l’orgueil et les faux-semblants,
Faisons de nos vies une quête d’émerveillement !
D’un sourire à la sauvette, faisons un bonheur scintillant,
Nourrissons d’amour et de miel nos cœurs d’enfant !

Demo track from 2007, made with the purpose of being used for a band. The track was never finished or performed. Despite good intentions I got carried away and overdid the overdubs (a tendency I struggle to get rid of even now). I made an effort to leave everything as unaltered as possible from the 2007 mix. The only thing I was forced to add was the bass part; before there was a horrible midi placeholder and it was missing in many parts. I tried to play it the way I would have played it in 2007 and it still remains a bit naive since I am not a bass player.
The drums were made from a sample CD found at a friend's house, I don't know where they came from. It probably also has loops in it from the library of the old Apple Soundtrack Pro...

Skomorokh

Skomorokh (DEMO - Circa 2007)

Piece composed in 2002 for the trailer of the documentary 'My Three Peaks' ('Le mie Tre Cime') by Andreas Pichler. Direction: Andreas Pichler | Animation: Nunzio Cicero, Gigi Tarantola, Tatiana and Riccardo Arena. 
Part of the piece was later used in the final cut of the documentary. This track marks my very first experience with a sampler! I used Halion software (maybe version 2) and some sample CDs for Akai lent to me by a friend.
I put it here as it was, just cleaned up a couple of clicks, also because although I kept the score I no longer have either the sounds samples or the software to open the original project...

Tre Cime (Trailer Soundtrack - 2002)

A new song composed with my old friend Gareth, the first since Covid!
Gareth plays acoustic guitar.

Te Amo

On a lonely road the sun is beating down
A wayward wind lifts the dust to swirl around
Te amo, te amo
That's all I have to say
Te amo, te amo, always

The bone white stones are reminders of our home
Our futures locked within our chromosomes
Te amo, te amo
At the ending of the day
Te amo, te amo, always

And time moves slow 
in the corners of the world
when the leaves of love  
remain forever unfurled
As the circling birds 
pick the carcass of the past
Perhaps we gave our love too fast

Te Amo (with Gareth)

Did 'magnificent' Nabukonodexa really exist on the edge of an ancient sea? 
Experts say that it was simply a terrifying accident that vitrified the ground over an average of 12 metres thick. 
Some even believe that a civilisation rich in knowledge died out for some reason. They have even suggested that before us, another form of life may have existed! 
The few remaining remains are of incomparable beauty and we will probably never know what really happened as we have no previous traces of our present history.

Nabukonodexa la "magnifique" a t'elle réellement existée au bord d'une mer ancienne ? 
Les spécialistes experts disent qu'il s'agit tout simplement d'un accident terrifiant qui aurai vitrifié le sol sur plus de 12 mètres dépaisseur en moyenne. 
Certains pensent même à une civilisation très riche de connaissances qui ce serait éteinte on ne sait pour qu'elle raison. Ils ont été jusqu'à suggéré qu'avant nous, une autre forme de vie ait pu exister ! 
Les quelques vestiges restants sont d'une beauté incomparable et nous ne saurons probablement jamais ce qui c'est réllement passé n'ayant pour le moment aucunes traces antèrieures de notre histoire actuelle.

Impulses across a synapse, stars across a galaxy, love from me to you

Songs from a Satellite      
Janine levinson 2022

#ChaosCookhouse


Songs from a satellite 
Circling the green and blue
And floating down all over you
Stars from a galaxy a forehead wide              
Rocketing from ear to ear
And shooting out of both our eyes

Kids are gonna study us baby for a thousand years to come

The glow of a distant star 
Shining on a distant life
And writing all about us
The quill of a distant pen
An etching of a single life
Took a millennia to write

Kids are gonna study us baby for a thousand years to come

The big swirl of dust and the capillaries
The wedding bells and the flower petals
As the bathwater drains to a tidal eddy
From the tips of the branches counting back to infinity 
The big swirl of dust, and the
Songs from a satellite orbiting the green and blue

Come in? 
Roy G. Biv, paging Roy G. Biv to the galaxy
Roy G. Biv, is there a Roy G. Biv here?
Roy?

Blue on a frequency beyond the light, invisible to human eyes
Is lapping all around us
And we, tethered to the perigee, effectively are bound to be
In love with the world

And the world is so in love with us baby!
The kids are gonna study us baby!
They’re gonna study us

Tell Me Something

graham tries to be flanafi

you might be sharp as a pencil 
i am nothing but a bird flying into a closed off window 
you called me 32 times and i told you to let go
how can you say you need me when you treat me this way
how can you say you need me when you treat me this way
how am i supposed to believe you when you push me away
how am i supposed to believe you when you push me away
i tried the best that i could 
to put shoes on 
maybe if i walked right now it'd be the best that it would be
i can't leave your side but i know that i should
why do you keep on punching when i'm already out
why do you keep on punching when i'm already out
why do you keep on trying if you're better without me 
why do you keep on trying if you're better without
if things don't get better
if things don't get better
i hope things get better
i hope things get better

i hope things get better

This track is inspired by "Prevailing Westerlies" composed by Chuck Salamone from Hylics 2.
