dressed in white with a string of pearls
city lights they rule your world
drapes of gold in a window pane
hear your song playing again

just a gem in your Daddy's eyes
hosting parties to socialize
had a trust fund before you were five
gave you what you want whenever you cried

(and you play it again)

"String of Pearls" - Michael Ash Sharbaugh, Adrian Hallam, and The NME

A simple orchestral dance in 3/4 time— a wistful echo of the lightness of days, of carefree joy, of dance and warm companionship. This episode is a classic waltz, borne by the strings, adorned with the whimsical grace of woodwinds. It shares a final dream of that light-hearted time, just before the suite draws us with the next episode (No.05) toward the twilight of life.

String Quartet No.1 Op.37

Variation mit einem Bösendorfer.
Die drei Gymnopédies sind Klavierstücke des französischen Komponisten Erik Satie. Sie entstanden um 1888 und zählen zu seinen bekanntesten Werken.
2023 hab ich das Bild gemalt, welches ich als Track Art verwendet habe und finde es passt hier ganz wunderbar zu den Kompositionen

Variation with a Boesendorfer.
The three Gymnopédies are piano pieces by the French composer Erik Satie. They were written around 1888 and are among his best-known works.
I painted the track-art picture in 2023 and I think it goes very well with the work by Satie.

J'ai peint cette image de track-art en 2023 et je pense qu'elle s'accorde très bien avec l'œuvre de Satie.

Libretto

Io ho le serrature...
Ho io le chiavi...
A lui, gli allarmi...
Facile non sarà...
Due sensori là...
Ferri e chiavi!...
Ma ci vorrà anche... del Prosciutto e del formaggio

Niche humour. About a daring diamond robbery in Antwerp. Carried out by objectively brilliant Italian criminals. Almost the perfect crime, but for the fact they left a ham and cheese sandwich behind for the police to find.

I have the locks...
I have the keys...
He has the alarms...
It will not be easy...
Two sensors there...
Tools and keys!...
But we will also need... some ham and cheese.

I'm loading my laser gun
Aiming at you, cos there's no time to run
Now I got you my sight
It's time for you feel my might

Chorus

Picture me I'm dressed to kill
I even give myself a thrill
don't resist, soon you'll adore me
Amuse myself, until you bore me

Adjusting my power from 1 to 11
Megawatt smile to take you to heaven 
Pulled into an orbit, a shinning star 
Try to escape you'll not get far

Repeat Chorus

Over to you Capt. Aquatic A.K.A. CKP!

My laser's set on stunning 
My tractor beams got you running 
To my rocket ship of loving 
Sonically I got you coming (danger crash zone!)
Around and around and around and around 
Call me the banshee of getting down 
My X-factor makes me fantastic 
The Nightcrawler who is charismatic 
If you prefer we can get aquatic 
The motion of the ocean is hypnotic
Go down in my submarine Explore what's deep and in between 
I'm The King

Picture me I'm dressed to kill
I even give myself a thrill
My gun will fill you with delight
But please don't ask to stay the night 

Space jam time, light the joss sticks :-)

Lyrics:

The Skeleton 
she rests upon 
the bloods Lagoon
Here eyes are waves of dust
blink Sea faring moods
Sits thin among the
wind as it causes her bones to groove like sand...
blows her down the thirsty stream
the arrowheads of ancestors
gleam 
in the slivered 
moons faint steaming
the rain in outer space
burns up bits of her marrow
she bandages with rocks 
along the trails of gypsum guarded by sparrows
her heart it beats it bleeds on
through her timid ribs
you can see the valves
like locamotives trying to
hold onto blood shes got no skin
to keep it all in
if the wind dies down it'll all fall out
for the breeze is holding her into a piece

"Ladder" [preview] (Juncherre Beatz feat. Michael Ash Sharbaugh)

POP | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
