Initially I was going to save this one but honestly, I just can't wait to show it off!

Heavily inspired by depressive black metal and blackgaze, especially the band Austere, Wither... is a step back towards what I feel are my roots. With tremolo picked guitars drenched in reverb, hard hitting drums and a harsh rap touching on topics of the fleeting nature of life. I also took a step back production wise to try and create a cleaner mix but one that still retains a definite edge to it. I really feel this is my best work yet.

I have a lot of inspiration from working on this track that I'm going to channel into my next project! My debut album titled Wither and Freeze, a depressive black metal/trap metal project which I've already started work on. Forgive me if my output slows down for a while, but I still have a few ideas for singles in the works! Expect another track to drop when I finish work on the album, follow my Twitter for updates. 

Have a great day, thank you for listening!

Black is the Colour

A composition I started writing almost at the same time as my first Nocturne, when both were part of an extremely long and bizarre fantasy, and thus they both share very few of the same and almost unnoticable textures and motivic figures, although they are completely different in character and form from one another. 

In comparison with my second Nocturne, which is quite a pensive and somber work, this one is rather stormy, bordering on fury during the climax in the middle section, where the music shifts from E minor to C minor, and then a ray of hope appears in E-flat major, which is almost as far as one can get from E minor.

Trillando el camino

While I was composing my F-sharp minor Fantasy, I found myself stuck on a particular middle section, struggling to find the right variation to complete the piece. Eventually, I succeeded, but before that happened, I wrote numerous segments that didn’t quite fit into the piece.

Fortunately, some of these discarded variations began to resonate with each other, leading to the creation of smaller pieces that I grew very fond of. The first of these became my Prelude in F-sharp Minor, and the second, the Moment Musicaux in A Major.

These two compositions share some motivic figures down to the note, yet in feeling and meaning, they couldn’t be more different. Despite the brief scope of the Moment Musicaux in question, I believe there is much to discover within it, with every new small section providing something unique and unexpected.

"Elysian Lament" is a deeply moving orchestral composition that combines the ethereal resonance of a harp solo with the powerful, soaring vocals of a female opera singer. This piece tells a poignant story of love, loss, and longing, portraying the bittersweet beauty of two souls entwined by fate yet separated by tragedy. Inspired by timeless tales of eternal love, the music takes listeners on a journey through the soaring heights of passion and the profound depths of grief, where love transcends even the pain of separation. Let the tender strings and haunting melodies transport you to a realm where each note whispers of heartache, hope, and everlasting devotion.

C’est la faute au cerveau

On n’est jamais content
De son physique
On est trop p’tit, on est trop grand
C’est pas pratique
On est trop mince, on est trop gros
Ou trop chétif, ou ramollo
C’est la faute (ter)
aux kilos

On n’est jamais content
De son physique
On est trop noir, on est trop blanc
C’est pathétique
On manque de grâce, de biscotos
On est tordu comme un ragot
C’est la faute (ter)
aux photos

Refrain :
Mais rien n’est un défaut
Qu’on se trouve moche ou beau 
Quel que soit le tableau
C’est la faute (ter)
au cerveau

Il y a toujours bien mieux
Que son physique
On est trop jeune, on est trop vieux
Chronillogique
Les cheveux tombent incognito
La calvitie, ça fait vieillot
Viv’ la boule (ter) 
à zéro
(refrain)

Quand on se sent trop vieille
Monogamique
Que la peau s’emplit de dentelles
Trop archaïques
Pour ne plus voir ces rides en trop
Et fair’ de l’œil aux hidalgos
Bistouri (ter)
À gogo
(refrain)

Lionel Abbou did me the honor of setting my text to music and singing it.

It's the brain's fault

You're never happy
With the way you look
You're too small, you're too big
It's not practical
You're too thin, you're too fat
Or too sickly or too soft
It's the fault (ter)
the kilos

You're never happy
With the way you look
You're too black, you're too white
It's pathetic
We lack grace, biscotos
We're as twisted as gossip
It's the fault (ter)
to the pictures

Refrain :
But nothing is a flaw
Whether you think you're ugly or beautiful 
Whatever the picture
It's the fault (ter)
the brain

There's always something better
Than your looks
You're too young, you're too old
Chronillogic
Hair falls out incognito
Baldness is old-fashioned
Viv' la boule (ter) 
to zero
(refrain)

When you feel too old
Monogamous
When the skin fills with lace
Too archaic
To stop seeing those extra wrinkles
And wink at the hidalgos
Bistouri (ter)
In spades
(refrain)

La faute au cerveau (Myckaël Marcovic / Lionel Abbou) feat. Lionel Abbou

Orange Room (reading)

Kaitiaki o te Whenua - Guardians of the Earth, is a reflection of my deep connection to the land, the ocean, and the old stories of my people flowing through them. It’s a Māori folk ballad, gentle and soulful, a melodic form of lament that speaks to joy and longing. The melody moves like the tides, ebbing and flowing, carried by the whispers of the wind and the pulse of the earth.

At its core, the song is about being a kaitiaki, a guardian of the earth (whenua) and the ocean (moana). The soft reggae percussion underlines this connection, like the heartbeat of nature, steady and grounding. It reminds me that, just like the ocean’s rhythm, our responsibility to protect the natural world never ceases.

Through every note, I hope to convey the stories of my ancestors, the strength of my cultural heritage, and the beauty of the wild places I love. This song is my call for all of us to listen to the earth, honor its rhythms, and take up the role of its guardians.
