A gorgeous piece, Leighton but, more importantly, a wonderfully thoughtful way of reaching out to all your friends here on the Cloud. My story is similar to yours in that I'm quite happy to self-isolate as I pretty much do that most of the time anyway and like my own company, so things are fine.  Glad to hear you're all keeping well - thanks so much for posting this important message.  Important we look out for each-other at times like these.  Warmest greetings to all!

Beautiful and contemplative sound for this long moment. I'm glad to hear you are doing OK. I, myself, am an introvert, but one who oddly enough seems to need contact with others. I am also finding my exile from my peculiar work challenging. But I am so glad to hear you sounding quite adaptable! And I look forward to more music from you any time!

i just listened to both sets of the Time Machine Chronicles on Bandcamp! Super enjoyable listen! Definitely reminds me a bit of the Olivia Tremor Control. A total delight man! Glad you are doing well and making music and making possible future live performance plans! Also excited to hear you may be making something new with Micah! You rock dude!!!

Has a nice sci-fi sheen - will check it out.  Good to hear good news!  Stay safe and be lucky

I am fine, the problem as I see it is everybody is so focused on putting their frustrations/good wishes/gallows humor out there that they're neglecting to listen to or acknowledge what their fellow Cloudizens are saying! Glad you're OK!

i don't understand what you are talking about but cool music and cool cover.

Interesting read Leighton, and soothing listen. Stay safe Dude.

Lyrics:
Maybe one day I’ll go sailing
Out on the big blue sea
Where the fishes swim around, going up and down 
Like a fish …….was meant to be

What a lovely way to spend the day 
Just being out there afloat 
And oh what joy to shout ahoy
From the deck of a sailing boat 

Sailing along in the sunshine
Just me and the ocean breeze
Then across the bay I’d make my way
Back home in time for tea

Steady as you go
Steady as you go   

Maybe one day I’ll go sailing 
Out on the big blue sea 
Along the coast I could make the most
Of the nautical scenery

What a lovely way to spend a day 
Just being out there afloat 
See a smugglers cove or a treasure trove
From the deck of a sailing boat 

Sailing along in the sunshine
Just me and the ocean breeze
Then across the bay I’d make my way
Back home in time for tea

Steady as you go
Steady as you go

Steady As You Go

葛藤や迷走を題材にしました。
（The theme is conflict and astray.)
２０２４年、最初の作品です。
（This is the first work of 2024.)

« Sous le ciel nocturne je murmure mes rêves aux étoiles …. »
Un moment d'évasion loin des turpitudes d'un quotidien stressant, avec des éléments inspirants au synthétiseur, des cordes et cuivres élévateurs et des voix au timbre souple et rêveur  pour créer une ambiance céleste ….

*********************************************************************************************

"Under the night sky I whisper my dreams to the stars ...."
A moment of escape from the turmoil of stressful everyday life, with inspiring synthesizer elements, uplifting strings and brass, and dreamily supple vocals to create a celestial ambience ....

Under The Night Sky ....

Collab with Her Musical Highness Damga, based on a sequence of melancholic chords and an Electric Piano bridge.
Lyrics:
"Waves of Isolation, I sink in the ocean of your venomous dreams.
In the cold dark water, I wake up to the beauty of your abyss.
There is a shark looming from the depth. 
My lateral line sense its fluid moves, as I crave for his kiss.

Waves of evolution, I emerge from the amniotic fluid of time.
I walk on the primordial sea shore, toward the dereliction of dawn.
Your crawling monsters follow my footprints on the dark sand.
I cherish my last scales and the iridescent mark they’ve drawn.

Waves of civilization, the ancient realm rise from the ground.
I ride the marble streets followed by soldiers and priests.
The glory of my victorious spear shines in the dawn of civilization.
Following my undefeated army, come the prisoners and the beasts.

Waves of emotion, I shiver under your photonic chords
Lost in the maze of counterpoints, I behold the astral serenity  of your hymn.
Sensual melodies electrify my spine and linger on my lips
I bite in the flesh of sounds, bath in the fragrance of rhythms

Waves of sublimation, triumphant and aroused, I wake up from your dream.
Your body besides me is warm and still,  gently breathing in a silver slumber.
I curl up in your warm naked strength and savor the scent of your skin.
An the night flowers, heavy with dew, weep for desire, drop by drop silently."

Waves of Sublimation

Waves Of Sublimation (Damga & HyLGZ22)

Anew

lyrics - 

I'll follow - I'll follow you
Wherever you go - I'll follow you
To the east or west - I'll follow you

Even if it's pain
Embarrass me - change the game
I'll follow you - it's not the same
You're worthy of more
Follow you - I'll follow you

Wherever you are - I'll worship you
North or South - I'll see this through
You see the days are darker
My eyes don't see clear - without you
To die is gain 

Even if it's pain
Embarrass me - change the game
I'll follow you - it's not the same
You're worthy of more
Follow you - Follow you

Pull me from the pit and mire
Deep or high - let me not falter
Steady my steps wherever you lead
Don't take my zest - unsalted - unsalted

Follow

Thank you very sincerely!
Merci très sincèrement à vous

"Nothing Is Ever Truly Gone" by indï & Fiskadoro

Alright. This is probably a long one. Apologies. I'm checking in. I looked through a few friends' profiles, and I saw some activity, which is great. But I can't check everyone - in complete honesty, the "stream" is an inoperable clutter for me anymore.  So I'm going a bit more direct. 

Currently, we're all good on my end. All healthy. I don't know if you all are like me, but this "social distancing" isn't anything for me at all. Avoiding going out and interacting with people is kind of my primary mode of operation at all times, and I absolutely never get bored. I'm not going to paint you with the same brush, but seriously, musicians are more or less all about self-entertainment, right?

I know everyone probably has a bajillion things going on, and I don't expect to get any messages per se - if you see this, just know that I hope you all are safe and well, and as little as it may mean, you're in my thoughts. (just because it's a corny and ineffective statement doesn't decrease its truth!) I have a tendency to be a bit pessimistic, but the thing that keeps coming back to me is how much more difficult this whole thing would have been - from a technology standpoint - even 10 years ago. That's kind of amazing. 

One major change I have personally noticed, in having a house full of family at all times, is that it's a bit challenging to holler at a microphone. Got Legos clicking and falling in the background, youtube videos, laundry, dishes, etc. So I've primarily been working on mixing and editing stuff I already had recorded. 

In this area, you guys are already a little ahead of the curve. I wrote a new story, and it goes along with not only several albums, but also with several different projects. (Comic friends: it's a crossover!!) It's called Time Machine Chronicles, and it's looking like it'll be about 12 story sections, in varying lengths. You have already heard at least two, but I'm bandcamping the rest as I get them tidied and trimmed up. 

Let's start here:

https://mayorofdonutville.bandcamp.com/album/time-machine-chronicles-part-1-twin-wizards

That's part 1. Story is in the album description, and it's a free download if you want it. This track I'm adding is a clip from that. 

I posted part 2 a little earlier today, also free:
https://mayorofdonutville.bandcamp.com/album/time-machine-chronicles-part-2-the-mayor-of-donutville-has-a-time-machine-side-a

I'm compiling the whole story-thing on my site too, on a single page:
https://mayorofdonutville.com/time-machine-chronicles/

It's been a great source of entertainment for me, and I hope it entertains you a bit too, if you need it. Got fun things in store. 

I have been working also on new tunes for Letterpress Mighty with Micah, and new tunes for Ruphord with Austin. Funny enough, I had been considering starting to play shows again - that's not happening for a while! We'll just wait it out, and see what happens!

Take care of yourselves, be well, stay safe, get in contact if you feel like it. I'll be hiding out, like usual, only more worried about my comrades. Thanks, friends!

Hey! It's Leighton. This is some music I make. Thanks to the Soundcloud community for the support, and for all the great music. I'm not on here very often and my music making endeavors are extraordinarily scattered, but I still exist. Apologies for not listening more to the wonderful music that you are all kicking out.
