This is the second state of my track "Flight" with an extension of the soundscape, more surprises and hopefully more fun for the listener. It's marked by the piano foremost, but embedded in heavy synths and an intense percussion and bass. It is not meant for getting nuts on a dancefloor, but as an interesting sonic experience.

THERE’S AN OUTAGE WHAT AN OUTRAGE
CUT OUT FROM THE WORLD
UNSEEN UNTOLD UNHEARD 
IT’S LIKE YOU DON’T EXIST NO MORE
NO REASON TO LIVE FOR

THERE’S AN OUTAGE LIKE A BLIND CAGE
LOCKED OUT FROM WITHIN
LOCKED IN AND WITHOUT
NO COMMUNICATION 
YEAH CONNECTION BREAKDOWN

IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT
WITH NO ONE NOTHING IN SIGHT
BUT THE FLICKERING FLAME 
OF A CANDLE LIGHT
LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS 
IN THE OLD WAYS 

THERE’S AN OUTAGE 
ZERO VOLTAGE
DUSKY BACKSTAGE
BLACK ADVANTAGE 
THERE'S AN OUTRAGE

IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS
IN THE OLD WAYS OF THE OLD DAYS

OUTAGE

Requiem Dance

Verse 1:
Here comes the reading of the last repose
Here comes the feeling that will last with those
Who will take away the better part of me
Who will make the reeling then the harmony

Bridge 1:
White light are you calling me
I need a priest, I need a sign 
Cause Im running outta time
I’ll give my last two cents first
I need to speak and though it hurts
These words are mine, they have some worth

Chorus 1:
If I need ya then I love ya then I hold ya
And there’s nothing left to do, but waiting
If I leave you need remember what I told ya
Then there’s nothing left to do but waiting
Always be kind, tend to body and mind
And in truth you will find your salvation

Verse 2:
Here comes the reading of the eulogy
Here comes the music to accompany
There is a beauty in the mourning style
As the flames burn higher, don’t forget to smile

Bridge 2:
White light are you calling me
I need a priest, I need a line 
Cause Im running outta time
I’ll give my last two cents first
I need to speak and though it hurts
These words are mine, they have some worth

Chorus 2:
If I need ya then I love ya then I hold ya
And there’s nothing left to do, but waiting
If I leave you need remember what I told ya
Then there’s nothing left to do but waiting
Always be kind, tend to body and mind
And in truth you will find your salvation

Refrain:
Requiem dance, dance, dance
Requiem dance, dance, dance
Requiem dance, dance, dance
Requiem dance, dance, dance

All synths are Nord Stage III native - with plenty of tweaks to all aspects. Apart from the drums there is no programming and everything is performable.

About volatility and self-control. Nearly all the time is not all the time and it’s worth remembering that.

SCREAM

Don’t you worry baby, it’ll all be fine
Don’t you worry baby, it’ll be alright

Who…
It’ll all work out
Not a scream or a shout
Who….
Sometimes
Nearly all the time

Don’t you worry baby, it’s gonna get better
Don’t you worry baby, it’s gonna be alright

Who…
Again and again………
Who…
Sometimes 
Nearly all the time
Sometimes
I wanna scream
Nearly all the time
I wanna scream
Again and again ...

Don't you worry baby, it'll all be fine
Don’t you worry baby, it's gonna be alright

I’m in control
Yeah, I’m in control
Sometimes
Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry baby, it’s gonna be fine
Nearly all the time

Bound in Wicker(Thomas Spaulding & Negative Headphone)

Living long enough, you'll eventually have those that passed on that you either have good memories of them or bad.  This song is for those happy memories, for those people who made our life worthwhile while living and continues to bring smiles to our thoughts many years after they left this earth.

The first lyrics (see below) was about a boy wanting to live up to his father.  But If I were to re-write lyrics, I would write about a town who remembered such a person.  Who even after suffering setbacks and hardships in life, still stood out as someone who would brighten your day.

And for the Sunday crowd look up Proverbs 10:7.

First Start:
Verse 1:
G D/F# Em
There's a young boy in this town,
C G D
With a dream that's going 'round,
G D/F# Em
He wants to be like his old man,
C G D
Strong and kind, with calloused hands.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Verse 2:
G D/F# Em
He listens closely to his dad's advice,
C G D
And tries to be the man he would like,
G D/F# Em
He sees his dad as a guiding light,
C G D
And follows him both day and night.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Bridge:
Am C G
And when the day finally comes,
Am C G
And the young boy is a man,
Am C G
He'll stand tall like his dad,
Am C D
And do the best that he can.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Outro:
G D/F# Em
There's a young boy in this town,
C G D
With a dream that's going 'round,
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
And make him proud every single night.

Happy Memories

Gentle Winds

A reflection on the finality of life.

On and on,
Life goes on,
On and on,
Nothing new under the sun.

Man lies down,
In the ground,
Turns to dust,
Wind blows him around.

On and on.
Life goes on.
On and on,
Nothing new under the sun.

On And On

Flame Spitter & IPG1 Collab at Flame Spitter Production

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils

Nils Frahm - Si

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
