Music Is What Feelings Sound Like

Que fais-tu baby?

"I was thinking about Summer anthems and how they always seem to be about going out and having a good time with friends. What about the people who want to stay in over Summer - the introverts? Where is their anthem? Inspired by those great Rock tunes over the years; "Let's Get Rocked", "She Hates Me", “Teenage Dirtbag” and "Beverly Hills" I set out to write an old school guitar Rock anthem that is really fun and quirky. This song is inspired by my favourite record producer Mutt Lange and Def Leppard’s “Hysteria” album. PLAY LOUD. 

An anthem for those stay at home Rockers - "Introverts Summer"

Introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

I'm listening to my music
I've been watching TV
I'm binging all the movies that I've already seen
I see you in the sunlight drinking your beers
I'm staying on the second floor
The view is better up here

I'm having an introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

I wanna stay home and play guitar
I'm gonna plug in and play "Hysteria"
I need some time alone to stop and think
Tell them all that I'm out when the phone rings

I'm having an introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

Introverts Summer
Introverts Summer

I'm having an introverts Summer 
(I'm not going out)
I'm having an introverts Summer
(I'm staying in)

I'm having an introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

Introverts Summer 2024

While I was thinking about what kind of song I should create, 
 I ended up finishing it. I can't clearly name the theme or the impression I had when listening to this song. However, for some reason I think acoustic jazz drums look good on it, so I published it.
 It seems like the fun part of the music has increased a little. 
 I would be happy if you could listen to it.

Only “passion” takes the lead (286)

Cast of characters:
Well-- @user-370942421-686440500 – Hakan – synth, beat, and seed idea
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur– guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– guitar, mix, and production 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar, synth

This song began with Artur inviting Josh onto a project that he and Hakan had just started that consisted of the beat and a synth line—the one that opens the song—supplied by Hakan. Josh added his five string fretless bass to it first, coming up with an idea of how it could sound. Then, Josh asked Tez to get in on it, too, because Tez not only has an affinity for the genre, but an aptitude for it, as well. After Tez laid down his hot guitar, Josh went back and played his idea, but accounted for Tez's jamming, too, this time. After the basic tracks were done, Artur brought his vibrato/delay guitar magic to the jam, too. Then, Josh added the various synth voices that you hear throughout. ​
  Every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for this job. He brought it all together and used our various parts like a conductor uses different parts of a symphony. This is the fist song that Tez and Josh have done with Hakan. Artur and he are musical partners, so if you dig this song, you would probably like what's on their pages, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

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.
