Il Signor Squallido Persona [rehearsal] (2004) | Heavy metal band

I can't seem to put down the guitar now that I've picked it back up! Played around with layering some kind of simple repetitive loops to create a hypnotic atmosphere on this one.

Special Thanks

My heartfelt thanks go to my wonderful wife Nicole, and to the eleven amazing musicians and friends who took the time to listen to my new track and share their honest feedback:

Donna Dior, Michele Ansani, Jens Sieckmann, Andronix, Axel Menningen, Janne Hennie,  Beats by Luke, Neowakan (Aileen Asatouri), Stefan Kraft, Anastasya Ihnatovich, and Siamak Sarmadian.

Your support, thoughts, and recommendations mean so much to me and truly help me grow as an artist. Without such an inspiring community, this journey would not be the same. I deeply appreciate your openness and encouragement.

Yearning is a sorrowful and deeply melancholic piece that takes the listener on a journey of longing and inner conflict. The track unfolds slowly, carrying moments of pain and hope, and gradually builds into a powerful, epic finale.
It is music that makes emotions tangible – between darkness and light, silence and monumental grandeur.

Yearning ist ein wehmütiges und zutiefst melancholisches Werk, das den Hörer auf eine Reise voller Sehnsucht und innerer Zerrissenheit führt. Der Track entfaltet sich langsam, trägt die leisen Momente von Schmerz und Hoffnung in sich und steigert sich Schritt für Schritt zu einem kraftvollen, epischen Finale.
Es ist Musik, die Emotionen spürbar macht – zwischen Dunkelheit und Licht, Stille und gewaltiger Größe.

Note: This track was entirely composed, performed, arranged, and produced by myself – without the use of artificial intelligence.
Creating authentic music with real emotion and personality is important to me. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Yearning

Here's a flashback from my past that's still in the present moment!
 
Somehow, I just Know you'll love this one! :-D

This was the first thing to come out of my opening improvisational set at 'The Light House Pub' on Saturna Island as I let my fingers do the talkin' on December 16th 2015. 😎 

 I was playing my Kawai ES7 Digital Stage Piano, and everything just flowed!

So... my friends and Listeners, here's a taste of what can emerge 'outta the Blue' when my Muse just wants to come out n play!  😉

They say that life is a test but not everyone’s dealt the same hand
Some are born into privilege, while others struggle through quicksand
We play the cards we’re dealt as we try to find our way,
Doing our best to keep our heads above water as we go about each day.
People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
How many billions do you have to accumulate before you’re just running up the score
At what point do you decide that you don’t need anymore
Telling rags-to-riches stories, so the common man believes it’s true,
“Keep those taxes off the billionaires cause someday that might be you.”
 People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
 Politicians smiling and acting like they share your blues,
But they’d collapse in a minute trying to walk a mile in your shoes.
Lottery tickets selling hope, though the odds are that you’ll never win
You’ve got a better chance of being struck by lightning than ever cashing in.
You’ll be paying off those loans for the rest of your life from that useless college degree
As the corporations implement AI trying their best to replace you and me
 The universe is billions of years old; we come and go in a flash.
We spend our short lives obsessing over cash.
 People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
