6 Part Round over a Passacaglia bass - or in this case, piano phrase

The Fine Art Of Repetition - [ Passacaglia in 7 voices ]

Enigma #156

I really wanted to do a song with female vocals and found some of @Miscliqued on Looperman. One of the hardest parts was the mixing, please DM or comment your feedback and tips for improvement.

Fallin' in love (ft. Miscliqued)

Listen to my song 'echoes' in which a trumpet, trombone, tuba and baritone sax react to eachother on a funky base of drums and dry finger bass!

Set Phaser To Stun (2022) Anthology CD2 Track 04

It is not about the famous astronomer, mathematician and philosopher who lived in the ancient city of Alexandria. Ipatia is one of the fictional cities in a work by Italo Calvino (‘The Invisible Cities’) published in 1972 (and translated into English in 1974). 
I composed this song in 1997 and recorded it (with Elisabetta) almost immediately (that's when I bought a Korg D8). Now I have simply remixed it after separating the tracks and improving the volume of the vocals and the equalisation of the classic guitar (it is a Yamaha CG 110CE pre-amplified, and the effects were adjusted then with the Korg). The arrangement is very sparse, the sound quality not optimal.

Lyrics and music by Michele Ansani (1997).

Lyrics (ENG - ITA)

if
you will explain to me why
you are reticent
only
if we talk about you
if
you will tell me what it is
that torments your life every time
I ask about you

then you will get as a prize
a wooden planisphere
and the encrypted map and the colours
of this secret drawing
and a round-trip ticket
to and from Ipazia
with me...

if
you will explain to me how is
that glimpse
that you delete from your eyes
When I osberve you
if
you will tell me why
your lips taste like ink
only when you kiss me
furtively

then you will have in pledge
this secret drawing
and the encrypted map
of the capital of the kingdom
and a round-trip ticket
to and from Ipazia
with me...

----------

se
mi spiegherai perché
sei reticente
solamente
se parliamo di te
se
mi dirai cos’è
che ti tormenta la vita ogni volta
che chiedo di te

allora avrai in premio
un planisfero di legno
e la mappa cifrata e i colori
di questo segreto disegno
e un biglietto
di andata e ritorno
da Ipazia
con me…

se
mi spiegherai com’è
quello sguardo
che cancelli dagli occhi
quando ti osservo
se
mi dirai perché
hai le labbra che sanno d’inchiostro
solo quando mi baci
di nascosto

allora avrai in pegno
questo segreto disegno
e la mappa cifrata
della capitale del regno
e un biglietto
di andata e ritorno
da Ipazia
con me ...

Track #08 of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

The powerful chose to stay silent. 
The powerful chose money. 
The powerful chose destruction. 

We chose to stay silent.

In the end, make sure you are one of the ones who can say 'at least I tried'.

LYRICS:

Motionless 
Empty plains
Freak winds
Breathless shells       

We lost our way
Or so the stories say
Gambled away
The days
Where hope still remained

You tried your best my love
You tried it all
But the best is only the best my love
If you have actual control

And keep trying to dismiss
While
We stare into the abyss

You tried your best my love
You tried it all
But the best is only the best my love
If you have actual control

It will be me and you      
It will be me and you    
In the end it's me and you

After 3 Glasses Of Red Wine

I haven't done an open collab with BMB before, but I heard Tez do this one and felt the urge to do something kinda heavy ,so I went and snagged the track and let this one rip.  I don't really know what the Gorlock is but with a title like this I think the cover art is appropriate.

Here is the original from Black Market Brains

and here's the one Tez did too!

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
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 — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

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 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

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