Thank you for serenading Laura so beautifully ! From a different time, love the entry especially, I can see her dance... Apologies my promised comments are so late ! but finally a it more on soundcloud again :D

This is my Submission for the Alev Lenz Recomposing Contest from SA  Recordings. 

I wrote it, recorded, mixed and mastered it on my own. 

I chose the track "Laura" from the album, because to me it was the most beautiful and I had so many ideas for the recomposing challenge.

I played this on a grand piano in my music school and recorded it with my two Neumann KM184 and my JZ BT301. 
To all the soundengineers: I placed the Neumanns as a XY-Stereophony over the part of the piano where the highnotes strings overlap with the lownotes strings. Then I placed the JZ BT301 as a monomic in the middle of the piano pointing to the little hammers that create the piano sound.
To all composers: So all in all: everything I did was 1. take the original 2. take the melody 3. make the melody appear rhythmically random and 4. put harmony under it. 
Of course, there is more to it, but that's how it could feel to some.

Feel what i feel
Feel what i feel
Feel what i feel 
Feel what i feel 

This is for the rough nights
And it feels like i'm trapped
In a never ending gun fight
Stranger to the sunlight
Couple years have elapsed
Barely make it past the moonlight
Utterly consumed by
All the evil that i feel
Get the fuck out of my sight
Running every redlight
Crash and burn, wait your turn
Feel my life aint gonna end right
Praying that they send mine
I cant track it, only pray 
Yall forget to send out my sign?
Hell is where i spend time
Thousand miles on this road
Pushing nothing less than redline
Dedicated my time 
Selling crack, life of crime
Dreams i guess i missed the deadline
Front page headline
XZARKHAN found guilty 
Murder first degree its end time

Feel what i feel
Feel what i feel
Feel what i feel 
Feel what i feel 

This is for the rough nights
All i ever saw was war
Bloody knife strikes and park fights
Moving past a last strike
Next step could mean death or life
I'm in the dirt like dirt bikes
Formed into my worst type
Spirit lost, no excuse 
What's the use in a searchlight
Cursed since my birth right
Losing faith and my hope 
Is that i live to see us turn tide
Fucking with my third eye
Did i really waste my time
Sacrificially a fall guy?
Fuck with me you all die
High exalted from the spirit world
Ill haunt you through the rough nights

Feel what i feel
Feel what i feel
Feel what i feel 
Feel what i feel
