Walking down 7th Avenue on October 28th 2023, around 6 pm. Even though it's autumn, the temperature is high. It feels like summer. It's very humid and the street is crowded.
My phone (tucked in my pocket) starts to record on its own when I reach Times Square. 

The resulting one and a half minute long recording is the material for this particular soundscape, which I think captures the eeriness and the uncanny feeling I had that day. All sounds were processed on a Roland SP-404A sampler and recorded live to a stereo track.

Finally, more than a year after the initial idea, I can share this concept about the seasons with you.
It consists of several songs merged into a single track. The initial idea came about when I released the song Winter's Ending.
All the tracks are published individually here, with the exception of the interlude Maj (an improvised draft from 2022)
and the track Last Summer, which was completed recently.
Below is the timeline for the entire song.

0:00:00.000 ->  rites of passage
0:05:51.000  ->  Le printemps (avec l'hiver au coeur)
0:10:06.032  ->  Go outside
0:16:51.500   ->  Maj
0:18:30.000  ->  Last summer
0:21:54.022  ->  Autumn
0:26:03.405 ->  preludio all'inverno
0:31:22.534  ->  Winter's ending

I did a rough mix of everything, making sure there were no volume peaks.
There will definitely be further adjustments to follow within the structure to make the mix more consistent.

In the song Last Summer, two samples from freesound.org (processed by me) were used.

Due to SoundCloud's terrible algorithm, this track will not be highly recommended... It took me a lot of hard work to create it.
I am sharing it freely with you (beauty is free, at least I believe so)...
Therefore, if you like it and if you have the opportunity,
please consider sharing it with a repost, so that it reaches your followers or anyone else
Thank you for being here.

sitting ducks and circling eagles
do not a whole existence make
he told me as I listened listless
tired, drained by his insistence
that I would have to be alert
to push past the break
and be clear enough
to find my hands in dreams
and speak in fluent Nirwanese
in Dada-lekt the verses back
from me to him
that he had taught me while I was not aware

and not-I sat without an ear
in the round of ember eyes still glistening
for both are made of themselves
each other and of fear
but the duck will have to feather up and fly
and the eagle will go hungry as it passes by
this he told me cunning, sly
on this I will rely
not now but when 
time runs dry.....

"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
