What started as a very cheeky Bootleg of INCREDIBLE by M-BEAT & GENERAL LEVY, has now been listed as an official remix by Renk Records on streaming sites so I am proud to put my name against not only a Jungle classic, but also a straight up 90's UK Dance anthem.

Mike Verba(Michal Wierba)/ Szymon Fortuna - Open Road

Pan was a lascivious Satyr of the mountains and the God of the Shepherds and the Flocks. His main task was to render the flocks fertile.
Of course, this mythical character relates to a fragment of the human psyche, which if given free rein...often shepherds those under "his" spell through the garden of delights, leaving them to repent at their leisure.

Here is also an attempt a composition in the Dorian Mode.
I don't really know if I even got close.
It was my best guess.

You may notice that the underlying rhythm is 8/8,
while the overlaid melodies are 3/4.

Pan Dorian

Since lately I have not been able to settle into a creative frame of mind,
I felt that in order not to lose what little comprehension I have managed 
achieve in working this music software, I might stay in practice by taking a detour.

From early on in life I have greatly admired the compositions
of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Since I had the scores of his Brandenburg Concertos
[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

I thought I would try to blend a little Electronix 
along with the Period Instruments to see how that might play out.

Before letting this piece loose on everyone, I had the privilege of being able to receive some much needed criticism on my technique from a wonderful performer and SC supporter:

Mr. Bouzouki: https://soundcloud.com/mrbouzouki

He was able to help demystify the application of side-chaining for me.
On a physical mixing board, I had done a lot of it, though I didn’t know to call it that, 
yet how it was accomplished on the DAW kept eluding me.

The problem that needed addressing was the excessive amount
of REVERB that inevitably accompanies my tracks.
Often the native effects for a selected instrument
had its own effects bus, which I was never able to see (until recently).
So if it didn’t have enough of or the kind of REVERB I was looking for,
I added it in-line, which ended up supplying too much of an overly complicated (and somewhat unmanageable) EFFECT.

Hopefully, I have trimmed enough of it off at this point
that you will be able to hear all of the notes from all of the instruments
without having to imagine that they must be there somewhere in the mix.

One final admission:
The only thing possibly worse than my sense of pitch is my sense of tempo.
I have never been able to sight read music,
so to play a piece, it is always necessary to just memorize it.
Even then, having a metronome means nothing.
So, for all of you that are in a similar situation,
thank heavens for DAW technology.
It has made the joy of music a possibility for the masses
of us who have the tenacity to claim it for a hobby.

Brandenburg 4 Movement 3

The following is once again the source for this concerto:

[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

Although this was written as a Violin Concerto,
I thought I would try to blend some other instruments together
to make it sound a little bit like a music box, or an old timey Polyphon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphon


So the substitutions ran like this:

-----ORIGINAL: = LOGIC:

-----Violino    I = Accoustic Guitaro
-----Violino   II = Roundback Accoustic
-----Violino  III = Bluegrass Banjo

-------Viola    I = String Decay
-------Viola   II = String Tub
-------Viola  III = 80s Wave Synth

-Violincello    I = Fast Pad
-Violincello   II = Droplet Harp
-Violincello  III = Alien Lead

Violine e Cembalo = Basses


In the process as I neared completion, 
I occasionally found that, after I had done a SAVE
I then realized that I had DELETED a whole track.
So, by the time I had finished making this,
I had wished I had selected something else besides the mallets.
They were beginning to take their toll on my eardrums.

ALSO: When I was in high school, I bought a little book of Bach's 2 Part Inventions that also included the Brandenburg Concertos. I transcribed this particular tune as a piano piece. This one I played well over a thousand times and probably only got through it twice without making a mistake. As such, my mom estimates that number to be much more...poor thing.

Addendum:
I had just posted this on SC when I played it for my mom.
She passed away within a couple of weeks after that,
but she was never one to go on about these soundtracks I would make.
On this particular one though, for the first time ever,
she said, "Turn it up a little bit."

Now coming from her, that was high praise.

Brandenburg 3 Movement 1

The following is once again the source for this concerto:
[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

To finish up on Concerto 3 
(except for the 2nd Movement...
..It is only 2 half notes sitting in a single measure...
...what’s that all about???)

I recorded this Concerto once upon a time on a minidisk back in 2000.
However, it was lost. So I tried to reproduce it once more.
I think I got pretty close.

Brandenburg 3 Movement 3

Cool Kids (prod. Sean T.)

More and more people are complaining about sleep disorders. Perhaps it is because the world is becoming more and more complex and confusing; that continuous support and security in loving relationships or in safe places is becoming increasingly rare. 
This lullaby is an attempt to create a trance-like, devotional atmosphere, which is a prerequisite for slipping into a deep, restful sleep. In all steps - from composing to mixing - I have always imagined holding a fearful, troubled child in my arms and carefully lulling it until it falls asleep again.
And it is a now almost universally accepted knowledge of sleep psychology that deep, restful sleep is based on trusting inner bonding: An inner loving parent accompanies the inner child so empathetically that it can devote itself completely to a pleasant sleep.
For me, French is the language that is best suited to lead someone who lies awake at night to sleep (again) with appropriate tender words. 

Lyrics in English:

If you can't sleep at night

If you can't sleep at night 
Just listen to that song

Lean gently against a wall 
and wait until your eyelids

Gain weight 
Lead you back to sleep

Imagine me lying beside you
You snuggle up to me

When nightmares come to you 
Then hum that song softly

I will accompany you on the steps 
Until it happens to you

That sleep carries you
The Soul Storm is calming down again

We go to the dormitory together 
Just blindly understand each other there

Each other there 
Each other there
Each other there

Lyrics in French:

Si tu ne peux pas dormir la nuit

Si tu ne peux pas dormir la nuit 
Juste écouter cette chanson.

Appuie-toi doucement sur un mur 
Et attend après que tes paupières

deviennent de plus en plus lourdes
te ramènent au sommeil

Imagine, je suis allongé à côté de toi
Tu te blottis dans mes bras

Quand les cauchemars te hantent 
Puis fredonnez calmement cette chanson

Je t'accompagne sur les marches 
Jusqu'à que ça t'arrive

Le sommeil te porte
La tempête des âmes s'apaisera à nouveau

Nous allons ensemble dans la chambre à coucher 
il y a une compréhension aveugle entre nous deux

Entre nous deux
Entre nous deux
Entre nous deux

Si tu ne peux pas dormir la nuit (If you can`t sleep at night)

Si Tu Ne Peux Pas Dormir La Nuit (If You Can`t Sleep At Night) (Engl. Lyrics In Intro)
