Loving these opening vocals and melodic lines....

Without it being derivative it brings the late & great Brian Wilson to mind...poetic and elegiac

wow, kind of a power trio of talent on this one! love seeing (and hearing) two lead lyricists and singers; brings some added variety into the arrangement, which is pretty unique already. What a dreamy song, and thaks for introducing me to the Cuatro. Hadn't heard of that guitar before.

Astral collab. I love that melodic style.

Always this very 70s prog ! It makes me feel a bit nostalic :)) nice composition.

A universal scale collaboration! Great track from 3 fine musicians!

ALDEBARAN EMERGES WITH PASSIONATE WINGS

After viewing the photograph of Nikola Tesla sitting on a chair in his Knobe Hill, Colorado Springs laboratory it made me wonder what the night sky must have looked like in 1899 while Tesla was performing his experiments. The photo also reminded of the James Whale's 1931 Frankenstien movie's lab designed which included Kenneth Strickfaden's movie machinery prop, his own Tesla coil that he called the Megavolt Senior. The marvelous bass solo is performed Stefan Pavlov and vocals by Volodymyr Chyzhovych. The intro has an actual recording of a Tesla coil charging.

Moonlight On Knob Hill

■概要(Overview)
熱すぎて溶けてしまうくらいの情熱を持てたらいいね。
PrivateからPublicへ熱心に大名行列する。
I wish I could be so passionate that I would melt.
An enthusiastic procession of feudal lords from private to public.

「溶けるくらいに」Let's get passionate

溶けてしまうくらいに
打ち込めるものがあれば
それだけでいいわ

十二時を過ぎたころに
アタマにあふれる「I hate you.」
傷つけあうのはもうやめて
心を解放したならば今

幾重にも重なる
合わせ鏡の迷路
本物は自分だけ
燃えるように　溶けてる


好きなものをいくつか
そばに置いておけたなら
それだけでいいわ

人づての言葉信じ
正義の仮面で「I hate you.」
傷つけあうのはもうやめて
好きなものだけそばに置いていて

幾重にも重なる
合わせ鏡の迷路
映し出されたものは
燃えているか　溶けているか

■Lyrics
If there is something I can devote myself to so much that it melts, that's enough.

After midnight, the words "I hate you" flood my head.
Stop hurting each other. If you free your heart, now.

Labyrinth of mirrors overlapping one after another. The only real thing is yourself.
Melting like it's burning.

If I could just keep a few of the things I like close by, that's enough.

People who believe the words of others who don't know the truth and say "I hate you" under the mask of justice.
Stop hurting each other. Keep only the things you like close by.

Labyrinth of mirrors overlapping one after another. Is the reflected thing burning or melting?

Ignite your passion(溶けるくらいに)

Here is a little song with a jazz influence, composed this weekend.

Probably Not

We Emerge

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)

Régulo (AKA @kings-of-manguareo) in Venezuela started this project a year ago with a piece called ‘Al Paso C’.
After several evolutions involving Dick (Oorlab) and myself, then the new title was suggested by Régulo and we ventured into space, with a ‘Musical Consequences’ scenario. I started off the lyrics, then Régulo added some lines and finally Dick completed them. Soundcloud is a great place for experimentation. Many thanks to my collaborators and also to you for taking part by listening, Mark

Am I the follower?
 Pleiades am I bound? 
Pleiades I am bound,
 I am the follower.

Aldebaran, Aldebaran, Aldebaran, Aldebaran… 
Never going, never going… coming back!

The fiery eye of Taurus,
 Trains its gaze upon, 
Orion’s shiny belt 
And it's perfect triad
 Over all of us
 For all eternity…

As long as the sun will shine
 And the magnetic field  
Stays well aligned 
The World will keep itself  
On course.

The long night will turn around
 Winter solstice is here 
Aldebaran will rise
 The ice will disappear

Wingding

it frequently occurs that I have to face up to a hundred of attempts when working on virtual vocals for my stuff – though I created a particular persona (defined in many details such as voice character and stuff) in order to work with a ‘familiar’ singer. anyway, this time it actually took almost 250 working versions and the entire amount of my suno pro credits to direct the machine towards a vocal performance matching with my musically concept, the backing tracks and even more: my massive thoughts and emotions in terms of topic. I was looking for a genre or a way to capture a story going back a thousand of years – and going on and on and on. everyday. around the planet. becoming ever worse, especially nowadays…

Leben über Leben
Alle gerade eben
Zwischen zwei Sekunden
Ausgelöscht verschwunden
 
Grauenhafter Schrecken
Eingestürzte Decken
Ängste, Schreie, Schmerzen
Lauter tote Herzen
 
Wimmern und Entsetzen
Kinderkörperfetzen
Reste von Figuren
Wie zertretene Uhren
 
Graue Trümmerorte
Blut und Ohnmachtsworte
Schneidend tiefer Kummer
Eine Opfernummer
  
Es wird weiter, weitergehen
Weiter über Leichen 
Ist noch nicht genug geschehen
Wird uns niemals reichen
Alles wird so weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter
  
Wünsche, Pläne, Ziele
Sorgenfreie Spiele
Freude, Lachen, Scherze
Alles nur noch Schwärze
 
Atmen, Leben spüren
Sehen und berühren
Träumen, küssen, lieben
Nichts davon geblieben
 
Unendliches Sterben
Grauen und Verderben
Bomben, Morden, Brennen
Es Konflikte nennen
 
Schlachten wie von Sinnen
Siegen, nie gewinnen
Ewig gleiche Sache
Männer, Macht und Rache
  
Es wird weiter, weitergehen
Weiter über Leichen 
Ist noch nicht genug geschehen
Wird uns niemals reichen
Alles wird so weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter
 
Es wird immer wieder gehen
Für ein Meer aus Tränen
Alle haben hingesehen
Niemand muss sich schämen
So wird alles weiter weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter

trying to translate:  

Untold lives
All just
Between two seconds
Destroyed, erased

Terrible fright
Collapsed ceilings
Fears, screams, pain
Shredded hearts

Whimpering and horror
Children's body scraps
Remains of limbs
Like trampled watches

Gray places of rubble
Blood and fainting words
Cutting deep sorrow
A victim number

It will go on and on
Over dead bodies 
Not enough has happened yet
Will never be enough for us
Everything will continue like this
On and on and on

Wishes, plans, goals
Worry-free games
Joy, laughter, jokes
Everything is just blackness

Breathe, feel life
See and touch
Dream, kiss, love
Nothing remained of it

Infinite dying
Terror and ruin
Bombs, murder, burning
Named conflict

Slaughtering insanity
Triumphing, never winning
Always the same thing
Men, power and revenge

It will go on and on
Over dead bodies 
Not enough has happened yet
Will never be enough for us
Everything will continue like this
On and on and on

It will happen again and again
For a sea of tears
All eyes are on it
Nobody has to be ashamed
This is how everything will continue
On and on and on


Es wird weiter weitergehen

E mi chiamavi amore
Le giornate senza fine con la pioggia o sotto il sole
Sempre insieme  con passione abbracciati a far l’amore 
Mi parlavi delle stelle, della bellezza della luna
E di quel carro lassù nel cielo il nostro portafortuna 

E mi chiamavi amore
Non tanto tempo fa
E mi chiamavi amore 
E insieme per la vita
E mi dicevi amore
Amore amore amore
Non ci lasceremo mai

Ma anche le montagne possono franare improvvisamente
Anche i migliori propositi possono naufragare dentro la mente
E ci siamo trovati lontani mille anni luce
Un imprevedibile e inaccettabile distacco 

E mi chiamavi amore
Non tanto tempo fa
E mi chiamavi amore 
E insieme per la vita
E mi dicevi amore
Amore amore amore
Non ci lasceremo mai

Eppure nei silenzi ritrovo il tuo respiro lieve,  
come un eco dolce che non si perde mai nel tempo,  
e nei sogni ti rivedo, con quegli occhi pieni di luce,  
a ricordarmi che l’amore vero non conosce fine.  

E mi chiamavi amore  
Non tanto tempo fa  
E mi chiamavi amore  
E insieme per la vita  
E mi dicevi amore  
Amore amore amore  
Non ci lasceremo

E mi chiamavi amore

Not everyone is on holiday, even in the heat of summer. Some still work while the city falls silent, stretched under a long, empty day. I can’t tell if the man expects something to happen; to me, it feels like nothing will happen today either. Anyway, everything's good.

This is the third in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Part 1 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-1-night
Part 2 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-2-dawn

Part 6 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-6-dawn-again

Composed by Michele Ansani (2020-2025 - this is a remake with a lighter sound and standard guitar tuning of a piece I already posted last year: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/imperfections).
All the ambient noises are taken from public sound archives. Female vocals are courtesy by Black Octopus.

(Don't follow me here, best on my main page ;)

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
