In 410 A.C. Romans left the rule of Britain. The date and the reasons are still and always a matter of debate among historians; however, in 2010, when it may have been 1600 years since that event and to commemorate it, 500 lighthouses were lit along the route of Hadrian's Wall, from east to west (cover image).
The first draft of the track is not recent (I didn't like it so much) and can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/departure-from-britannia. I recovered audio material that I had discarded at the time (recording quality not optimal) and added some stuff.
Vocals by Ginevra Ansani and Arthouse Acoustic (samples). Flute by Trey Eley (Soul Surplus samples).

Departure from Britannia (final version) *

In this final version (here the draft: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/sunday-derby) I have the honour of adding the contribution of Manuel Pietra (take a listen to his tracks: https://soundcloud.com/mozartwolfy81), my friend and my daughter's piano teacher, in the first and in the last part of the piece.
For those (like me) born in the late 1950s and raised in Milan in the 1960s, Sunday of derby (AC Milan vs. FC Internazionale) was the most beautiful and most feared day of the year. The three sections of the piece correspond to three easily understood moments: before the match (Saturday night and Sunday morning); during the match (Sunday afternoon); after the match (Sunday evening and Sunday night). All imperfections (as usual) are mine.
As it's clear in the end of the second part of the piece, my team won the match that time (so many years ago ...). I'm sorry to say that Manuel is a fan of the other Milan team, the one that lost the game in the circumstance mentioned ...

Sunday Derby (extended version) **

The initial melody could be famous, but I don't know who (where and when) composed it. It was the melody of the carillon (in the picture) that some friends gave to my daughter, who was just born. We sung (adding words) and played it for years, even and especially after the music box broke, not to forget it. 
The piece is dedicated to her, who is now 18. The melody of the music box is followed by some (very posed) arias representing the successive stages of her life, childhood and adolescence. The carillon's melody resumes at the end: because I am sure she still hears it, deep down, and that it accompanies her as life goes on.

My daughter's carillon (song for her 18th birthday) *

Do you have an Exit Strategy? "I wish".
Do you want an Exit Strategy? "Don't know. What is there?"
Next Exit: for emergence use only. "Go to the next!"
Next Exit: Financial Freedom. "No, go to the next".
Next Exit: Future. "The next?"
Next Exit: Happy Life. "Ok: the next?".
Next Exit: New You. "The old one is enough, go to the next".
Next Exit: Are you prepared? "Yes!"
Next Exit: Can you escape? "Don't want".
Next Exit: Retirement. "Yes!"

Another old track restored, adding new sounds (mainly from Spitfire Labs) to those of the Yamaha PSR 630. Vocals courtesy of NERVO Vocal Jams. The overlapping of old (separated) and new tracks generates always some 'unnecessary' noise.

Exit Strategy *

This is the first in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short and inconclusive tracks, which I’ve assembled by working on new and reworking on some old material adding parts and sounds. 
Will anything actually happen in the end? Unlikely. Definitely not here. Here it’s a montage of bare arpeggios in various keys.
I recorded this some weeks ago: sorry about the guitar sound, the string squeak is a bit too much; now, I hope to have fixed that investing in a better and more expensive set of strings.

Sangeet - Koodolee (Original mix)

It ain’t easy to be a Gina 
Dropped a body in my marina
Copped a hottie with my urethra
Stocked with Ghandi high, a Libra.
Time to die id you don’t believe
Time to ride if you gone deceive
Time to try to save the world
I’m just a little lesbo girl

Im the skirt that
grew from resentment
Neutered a deaf kid
Lewd and electric
Suitors are hellish 
And embellish the relish
devilish trellises of wireless
Cleverness without much togetherness
Forever it’s untethered this weathers director 
Is sleeping, I’m queefing and quacking 
I’m nuts plus I’m wacky so back me
With VC we got from AC DC before AD or BC even
My wife’s name is Stephen 
A heathen  seasoned for eaten
Sneezing at cretins and beacons
From Sweden im sweet and 
You’re soon to be beaten. 

It ain’t easy to be a Gina 
Dropped a body in my marina
Copped a hottie with my urethra
Stocked with Ghandi high, a Libra.
Time to die id you don’t believe
Time to ride if you gone deceive
Time to try to save the world
I’m just a little lesbo girl

Pound for pound I’m about
A quarter pounder who will
Pound quarters of fosters 
Grew up in foster 
But still a boss sir
I’m Gina, wear Reeboks
Keds, jeans and make hip hop
Crpyt walk on TikTok
Until the world lip lops
Wet dogs stink less than
The game right? 
And that’s why I came tonight 
To make sure that even if I
Wasn’t well the game 
Would be alright. 
Bye.

It ain’t easy to be a Gina 
Dropped a body in my marina
Copped a hottie with my urethra
Stocked with Ghandi high, a Libra.
Time to die id you don’t believe
Time to ride if you gone deceive
Time to try to save the world
I’m just a little lesbo girl

It Ain’t Easy Ft. Gina Da Lesbian

[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/
