I enjoy this version very much too. I enjoy Paul's part being exposed at the beginning, then, the tanpura and tabla percussion helps drive the harmonium part forward. It feels very warm,..well done Marco and Paul!

https://tophitmaker.org/2025/nbc-losmob sounds good 👍

it's a first draft of the piece certainly worth investigating the sonic possibilities it offers. 
the synth always behaves differently in re-proposing the sequence, depending on the envelope phase in which it is found, I am fascinated by it, I have been looking for a sound like this for a long time.
I find it very meditative, so much so that it reminded me of seeing the splendid paintings of the painter Aldo Mondino, more than twenty years ago, in an exhibition at Villa delle Rose in Bologna. 
I immediately fell in love with those fantastic paintings. 
On the cover a detail of the work: Master of Fantasmagorie.

Life Inside A Drifting Petal (NaviarHaiku 585)

“I found the Beacon of Hope, in the Heart of this Storm”

Harsh Vulnerable album

Mood Exhibit - Beacon of Hope

Paulo Chagas lives in Portugal and I in the USA.
We agreed to make this album by sharing music files over the internet.

While we worked on this album, 
making music for a peaceful world was on our mind.

All over the world, 
tensions, conflicts, suppressions and violence
of one group over another have arisen.

As musical artists, we believe that our artistic process 
demonstrates what we wish for the world,
paraphrasing Ghandi’s 
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world”:

Create agreements and honor them

Listen carefully, respond with care

Openly point out problems, openly work to fix them

Create music that acknowledges conflict but also overcomes it

Support the spirit of engaged creativity

Support joyful life


Wilhelm Matthies and Paulo Chagas, April 2025

Angelus Novus

Spinning Into Control (video edit)

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

"Ich bin ein kosmische Kurier"

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
