Mellow Jazz

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where my thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until this newness were ready to emerge.

The NEW ONE_2022

At the end of every, year I gather up ALL the songs that have caught my ears and put together a massive End Of Year Mix CD based on the equation 20 X CURRENT YEAR. Songs are in order of a good listen, so don't overthink what made the 380 cut — just push p

The summer is still in its Solstice. Have a warm day!

Fantasy is played on Maschine Mikro MK3 with pads and knobs. Only stock drum/bass, synth and the new polysynth. When Maschine software chocked on tracks and FX, rendered tracks into Ableton for tweaking, mixing and to play more embellishments with Polysynth as VST. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Fantasy will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled Love, some day, maybe. TNX!

Verschuiving (from 'Spoel' 2xLP - Black Sweat Records)

Tra l’andarsene e il restare dubita il giorno,
innamorato della sua trasparenza.

La sera circolare è già baia:
nel suo quieto viavai oscilla il mondo.

Tutto è visibile e tutto è elusivo,
tutto è vicino e tutto è intoccabile.

Nel centro dei tuoi occhi mi scopro;
non mi guardi, mi guardo nel tuo sguardo.

 Si dissipa l’istante. Senza muovermi,
io resto e me ne vado: sono una pausa.

I fogli, il libro, il bicchiere, la matita
riposano all’ombra dei loro nomi.

Palpitare del tempo che nelle mie tempie ripete
la stessa ostinata sillaba di sangue.

La luce fa del muro indifferente
uno spettrale teatro di riflessi.

Nel centro dei tuoi occhi mi scopro;
non mi guardi, mi guardo nel tuo sguardo.

Si dissipa l’istante. Senza muovermi,
io resto e me ne vado: sono una pausa.

Si dissipa l’istante. Senza muoverti,
tu resti e me ne vado: sei una pausa.

Si dissipa l'istante. Senza muoversi,
tu resti non me ne vado: siamo una pausa

Cento based upon Octavio Paz's "Tra l'andarsene e il restare".

Una pausa
