Very cool piece with an amazing background. Lovely offering man and really nicely stitched :-)

Complimenti Michele, davvero un bel pezzo. E ora ci hai fatto venire voglia di scrivere una canzone in latino sull'impero romano!😝 Quando ne avremo il tempo magari la faremo insieme. Intorno al 2033 di questo passo.. Scemenze a parte, davvero ben fatta, bravo.👏🏻🫡

nsani  Really calming—good for a long listen, mute-fuse

Really wonderful performance and uplifting vibe, Michele. Perfect for the Christmas season! Biggest Congrats, my friend ❄️🎄

Hi Everyone!
This is another joint track by our duo and the first one after a slightly longer break. 
We invite everyone to take a ride on the cosmic highway through the Milky Way. For now, it's all happening in our imagination, but one day... in the future... who knows?
We refer here to our previous songs (especially “Winter Trip”) and surf-ambient sounds, but we also try to add new elements and textures. 
We hope you enjoy our new project! 
Have a nice trip! 🌔

Milky Hi-Way (w/Well)

Just finished this afternoon. Looks can be deceptive. Never judge someone without knowing them !

Beneath the tartan sky so grey 
A heart can sing A heart can stray 
You see my face But nae my soul 
Do ye ken the part that makes me whole  

Don’t judge a book by its cover My dear
 The truth’s in the pages The love’s in the tears 
A glance won’t tell you The depth of the sea 
Look closer Love And you’ll truly see me  

The heather blooms on hills of green
 But thorns lie hidden Sharp Unseen 
A voice can charm A smile can glow 
But the story’s more than what it shows  

Turn the pages Take your time 
Feel the rhythm Hear the rhyme  

Don’t judge a book by its cover My dear 
The truth’s in the pages The love’s in the tears 
A glance won’t tell you The depth of the sea 
Look closer Love And you’ll truly see me  


Like a kilted breeze that whispers low 
There’s more to me than I let show 
Unravel the threads Weave the truth anew 
And find a heart that beats for you

Don’t judge a book by its cover .mp3

[It’s definitely not a Christmas song, but the mood should feel acceptably Christmassy].

A few years ago I tried setting this text to music; it’s very well known here among students because it is considered one of the earliest attestations of the Italian language. Discovered on an inner leaf of a liturgical codex preserved in Verona, it was written between the 8th and 9th centuries by an anonymous hand. It is regarded as a “riddle” (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronese_Riddle), generating an enormous amount of scholarship. 
To me, its musicality is evident. 

Compared to the version I recorded in 2018 (I had posted it on YouTube, where it still is), based on the Washburn and the sounds of my old Yamaha, I added some VSTs and re-equalized the vocals. Back then, multiplying the vocal tracks was the most fun part, in order to obtain a choral effect. What came out is what I would call a “false traditional folk song".

The cover illustration is found on one of the opening pages of an 11th-century manuscript preserved at the British Library (Cotton MS Tiberius B. V — see here: https://www.imagesonline.bl.uk/asset/12286/).

Text (original / english translation)

Se pareba boves
alba pratalia araba
et albo versorio teneba
et negro semen seminaba

He led oxen in front of him
ploughed white fields
And held a white plough
And sowed black seed

Update (December 9, 2025).

I’ve posted the entire suite “In case nothing happens” on YouTube, including the parts (7 and 8) that are still missing here, accompanied by a very simple video.


Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun. I’ve been here for at least 10 years, but only recently have I started using the platform for something other than just external digital storage.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect. My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals.
Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.

Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
