Let's Enjoy It While We Can

This song appears on an album called Synthastic alongside those some other amazing musicians with whom my Swiss friend, the very talented and gracious Karin-Maria Brunner collaborated. It's an album centered around the synthesizer, whatever sounds one can get from it, based on her ideas. I cannot properly express my depth of honor and gratitude to her for including me with musicians I admire, like Frans Beelaard, and for sharing her creative seeds with me. Karin-Maria is a truly exquisite musician, with a very disciplined style and mind for musical precision, as well as beautiful melody. You can find her on here under her name. She actually shared two songs with me for this project, and this is the first of those. I tried to come up with an interesting, modal melody for both, in hopes of impressing her. I hope it has the same effect on you. I also provided the beat and bass line for this song. You can find the entire album on your favorite streaming service. We appreciate your listens! 

Magic Hour (with Karin-Maria Brunner from her album Synthastic)

This is alternative rock song. It has originality and also drama. Mood of this track is sadness.

Tragedy

AIMER TROP ÇA COÛTE CHER
LE DERNIER MÉTRO LA CHAIR DE MA CHAIR
TROP D’AMOUR ÇA REND SOURD
ET FOU À LIER SUR LE PALIER
EN CHIEN DE FUSIL ENROULÉ

AIMER TROP C’EST L’ENFER
ON Y LAISSE LA PEAU ON Y PERD SES REPÈRES
TROP D’AMOUR ÇA REND LOURD
TAPI LA NUIT SOUS LE BALCON
PLEURANT SOUS LA PLUIE COMME UN CON

TU PASSES D’HEUREUX À MALHEUREUX                      
PUIS LE CIEL CHANGE ET VIRE SOUDAIN DU NOIR AU BLEU 

AIMER TROP C’EST TROP CHER
ON Y LAISSE DES PLUMES ET DES LAMBEAUX DE CHAIR
TROP D’AMOUR TUE L’AMOUR
ET ON EN OUBLIE D’OUBLIER
SON VIEUX CHIEN DE FUSIL ROUILLÉ 

ELLE FAIT TA PLUIE E T TON BEAU TEMPS
QUAND ELLE S’EN VA TOUT FOUT LE CAMP
 
AIMER TROP ÇA REND FOU

AIMER TROP (Lyrics)

Each winter here in the UK, small birds enact one of natures great spectacles. Each evening flocks ranging from a few hundred to over 100,000 individual Starlings form up into a single flowing entity swirling above their communal roosting sites. 
Why they do this is not fully understood, with theories ranging from a strategy to distract predators, to a grand display designed to draw more birds to the flock for the purpose of maximising the body heat being generated by the mass of the flock in the roost. 
Whatever the purpose of this behaviour it creates a unique and magical aerial display of great beauty.

The track began with the repeating mallet sequence, then the strings and lastly the piano. I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to improvising around basic chord progressions at the moment and this is another product of this approach. I'm  resisting the temptation to quantize or mess around with the midi in post, so it's all as played and of the moment. 

Thanks for listening, it's really appreciated. 

Murmuration

Track from two summers ago - stuck it in the closet.

There's A Spot in My Closet (For You)

Infinite Sky came from a fun practice which consisted in creating a music only with Alchemy from Logic Pro X. It's a good way to exercise on a single synth, rather than picking up various presets on different plug-in. Here you have to stick with one instrument only, and build the whole music with it....
I did it few months ago, and thought it was a pity this music stayed in my unreleased tracks. That's why I'm sharing this with you today. Very different from my usual artwork, but I really enjoyed creating this one...

Infinite Sky

A collaboration between :
Shane Beck, The Last American Poet (Words)
progettosonoro (Music)

A forlorn tale of the poet who buried his heart in hollow ground
Coping with the smirking shadows without a whisper or hardly a sound
Let me hide away the trauma of this loveless soul without a single chance
The Loneliness Of One & the night we held each other during that slow dance

Yes I too deal with things & forever disguise the burning tears that sting
Shove aside the hurtful memories knowing what the light refuses to bring
They often say the sad pain will go away & eventually subside
Hear it from me & never forget, it is untrue & they have lied
The Loneliness Of One, the poet who still walks until he bleeds
Accused of waiting on truest love & so called selfish needs

Shane Beck & progettosonoro - The Loneliness Of One

Recording sessions from 19/10 to 23/10/2022.
4 tracks MOOG Modular (vst Arturia),

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you to all that leave nice comments. My apologies if I take a little while to respond.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, (great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
