Racine

Racine!(improdemo)

Arctic soundscapes with a haunting yet warm voice full of emotions, this is how Inyha paints her inner emotional world where ice & snow covers the warmth of her heart, where walls of silence create distance, where mirrors of ice show her own disguise, while all she longs for is nearness and love.

LYRICS:

It’s winter, it’s winter
The sun is covered in ice
I know that, I know that
I need to see the light
Sometimes I can
Feel so dark
And lost inside

Snowflakes dancing in the dark
But you are just as cold and hard
And I break inside for longing
To be near, to be near
Walls of silence hit me covered in ice
Mirroring my own disguise
And shaking me with fear
Of loosing you my dear

It’s winter, it’s winter
The sun is covered in ice
I know that, I know that
I need to see the light
Sometimes I can
Feel so dark
And lost inside

You can be the warmest sun
And the coldest ice and the strongest wind
Blowing in my eyes
Revealing all I hoped to hide
I don’t want to loose you
No I don’t want to loose you
For some stupid selfish pride
For another useless fight
I break inside

It’s winter, it’s winter
The sun is covered in ice
I know that, I know that
I need to see the light
Sometimes I can
Feel so dark
And lost inside

You are the sunshine and the rain
The snowfall and the hail
The ocean and the stream
Carrying me to my new self
Carrying me to my new self
And you mean so much to me
You mean so much
That sometimes I can’t hide
My pride, my stupid pride
I cannot hide

It’s winter, it’s winter
The sun is covered in ice
I know that, I know that
I need to see the light
Sometimes I can
Feel so dark
And lost inside

Snowflakes dancing in the dark
But you are just as cold and hard
And I break inside for longing
To be near, to be near
Walls of silence hit me covered in ice
Mirroring my own disguise
And shaking me with fear
Of loosing you my dear

It’s winter, it’s winter,
The sun is covered in ice
I know that, I know that
I need to see the light
But some day I know
Spring will come
And the ice will flow.

Snowflakes dancing in the dark

Sur un texte fort et malheureusement toujours d'actualité de Jean-Claude Manceau

On a strong and unfortunately still topical text by Jean-Claude Manceau

Souvenez-vous !

Souvenez-vous !
Des autos chargées de matelas
Dans le ciel, la ronde des Stukas.
Dix millions de Français en déroute 
Fourbus, bombardés sur les routes.
Souvenez-vous !

« Des vélos, des tandems, des brouettes
Les odeurs de ferme des charrettes,
Paysannes, chapelet en main »*
Sans savoir ce que sera demain.
Souvenez-vous !

Des marcheurs, maisons sur le dos.
Dix sous pour un simple verre d’eau,
La quête épuisante pour manger
Trouver du lait pour les bébés.
Souvenez-vous !

Des chats, des chiens abandonnés 
Ces bêtes, errantes affamées,
Et une petit fille en pleurs,
Ces vaches meuglant de douleur.
Souvenez-vous !

Un convoi de cyclistes
Tant de morts sur la piste,
Des guimbardes calcinées,
Des corps dans les fossés.
Souvenez-vous !

« La France marchait,
La France boitait. » *
Sombre période.
C’était l’exode.

Alors, bonnes gens,
Les migrants…

Paroles de Jean-Claude Manceau, éd. Parole et poésie, 2020
*d’après « Le peuple du désastre » d’Henri Amouroux, éd. Robert Laffont, 1976
Musique de Myckaël Marcovic, 02 mars 2023

Remember!

Remember!
Cars loaded with mattresses
In the sky, the circle of Stukas.
Ten million French people in disarray
Exhausted, bombed on the roads.
Remember!

“Bicycles, tandems, wheelbarrows
The farm smells of the carts,
Peasant women, rosary in hand”*
Without knowing what will be tomorrow.
Remember!

Walkers, houses on the back.
Ten sous for a simple glass of water,
The exhausting quest to eat
Find milk for babies.
Remember!

Abandoned cats, dogs
These beasts, wandering hungry,
And a crying little girl,
Those cows mooing in pain.
Remember!

A convoy of cyclists
So many deaths on the track,
charred jew's harps,
Bodies in the ditches.
Remember!

“France marched,
France was limping. » *
Dark period.
It was exodus.

So, good people,
Migrants...

Souvenez-vous (Jean-Claude Manceau / Myckaël Marcovic)

Mientras Duermes

This is a collaboration with the super talented kanadian keyboarder Jordan Davis a.k.a. tempoTronix, whom I could win for a collaboration on an older track of mine, where he took over all keyboard parts. As we both are prog metal enthusiasts we have left our traces from this genre in this track.
Please listen and judge yourself, I hope you´ll have a lot of fun listening to this great piece.

"un-controlling" for cello, piano and two ebows composed by Dika Chartoff (ASCAP 2022) 

Dave Eggar, cello
Clare Longendyke, piano
Christian Amonson, recording engineer
Louis Ng, recording engineer

In memory and celebration of my friend Ben who was a wonderful friend to so many; amazing son, brother and father; a passionate surfer and sailor who lost his life to suicide after a long battle with depression.

During the opening, characterized as Poetico quasi senza mesura (poetic and unmeasured), the e-bow is used as an ostinato - a constant sound triggered by a magnet that vibrates the piano strings. Essentially, it’s a noise that’s calming and seductive at times, but much like depression, or tinnitus, it’s an unwelcome guest. The second part, giocoso (lively and humorous), is an innocent and technical interlude that culminates in climbing adrenaline; such as surfing a giant wave. Finally, Lento Irrealmente (slow and surreal) is a free fall of reverberating, vibrations and letting go. The e-bow is not present at that moment and perhaps a sense of hope, is restored.

SONGS OF HOPE FOR A NEW REALITY.

This work consists of three songs.
 
The first song is for a baritone voice and represents that it is sung by a character who is a journalist and tries to give an overview of the many global crises and conflicts that are currently haunting us and causing "perplexity in an uncertain world".

The second song, for a contralto voice, represents that it is the reply given by a female character who is an anthropologist, to the previous journalist arguing that we can only save ourselves if we start from approaches based on ethics and anthropology to build a "critical conscience of our species" that allows us to create a new global reality where all human beings have a dignified and comfortable life.

The third song is a fugue for four voices (for soprano, alto, tenor and bass) and represents the well- meaning people who have honestly understood what the situation is: it is only possible to overcome this "perplexity in an uncertain world, creating new global reality for all.

At the end of this introduction I attach a PDF with the lyrics of the three songs. I put the original version in English and also its translation into Spanish.

The music has an initial inspiration in what we could call musical styles of modern popular music, but with the aim of reaching a final composition of a more abstract and artistic nature. Regarding the musical production, as is usual in my works, the score of the different musical parts is performed by computer software, specifically in the instrumental parts I have used the synthesizer (granular and spectral) called Padshop 2 and also samplers from the VSL (Vienna Symphonic Library) that, although in this library the instruments have acoustic timbre, I have given them an electronic music treatment. But the most peculiar part is the one corresponding to the voices in which I have used the VOCALOID 6 software that has a singing synthesis technology that produces singing voices that are very realistic and with the ability to articulate words and that has been, initially , developed to sing in the Japanese and English languages.

As for the textual content of the lyrics of the songs, I have written it myself and I wanted it to start from the current global reality and to have, as far as possible, a projection in the general interest. I have been inspired by various texts that I have read lately and, especially, the book "El porvenir de la humanidad”  written by Eudald Carbonell i Roura, a Catalan archaeologist and anthropologist who has a long and important professional career.
