A Shade of Blue

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 05/2020 and 03/2021, almost all in 2021 and many within the past month, with the following older exceptions:
. . - Klevra Jsuchuman (Rollercone - Daydreaming)(#20): 8 years,
. . - Theodor Tonwerfer (Tonwerfer and Lamar - El Robot)(#3): 5 years,
. . - The Moontour "Mitocondrias"(#2): 1 year*,
. . - Mac Woodruff "Myrtle"(#6): 1 year*,
. . - Azáv "Brooke's Soap"(#14): 1 year*.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist

OK, that's enough: 90 tracks.  I have to stop somewhere and write it down, otherwise it won't work, it'll grow too fast.  I'm just like them, the Soundcloud people, the management and employees, I impose restrictions on Ha... except my restrictions are stated clearly, in the open... no biggie, I'm having a good time.  Have fun listening!

I'm presently barred from reposting tracks (I can still repost albums and playlists), so I put what I would normally repost here until I'm allowed again.
This list was born public and will die public.  I have sort of  a system here in SC and having this live playlist as a substitute output helps me a lot, lets me keep my rhythm ; ) If any of these are not yet in a permanent playlist, then it will almost certainly be eventually.  Bisous.

Extraits de la critique de l’album Le Feu d’en  face par Valérie Martinez dans l’hebdomadaire L’Indice Bohémien de septembre 2016 : 

[…] Dès ma première écoute, je me retrouve en train de planer sur cette guitare.

[…] L’ensemble des instruments fait en sorte qu’on baigne dans un mélange de vieux rock, d’élans de Pink Floyd, de soupçons de Starmania et même de blues et de jazz.

Bref, il y en a pour tous les goûts, du bon vieux rock aux balades, qui pour moi, sont le point fort de cet album.

Ce groupe a de toute évidence de bonnes idées de mélodies et d’accompagnements, mais je dois avouer que ce qui a attiré mon attention, c’est la voix de Mary-Eve Martel qui est juste, claire et d’un timbre agréable à l’oreille.

Petit coup de cœur pour la chanson Du Soir au matin, qui pourrait très bien se retrouver à la radio !

À écouter : 3,5 sur 5.

Du Soir au matin (paroles de Francis Lahaie, musique de Richard Lebel)

Este nuevo EP de Moontour transita por los poderosos y chamánicos sonidos de la jungla sudamericana , en un viaje rítmico hipnótico, profundo y carismático.
Electrónica con raíces andinas y caribeñas.

Happy to be here! Feat. and Mixed by @S.O.J.

On the Beach (Feat. @S.O.J.)

This is the title track of my new album "Stars in the Bright Sky" which will be released shortly. 

"The Sweet Disorder have seemingly made a deliberate attempt to mix the Beach Boys with Pink Floyd with variable results" 

Lyrics

Bruised and blinded 
Love misguided 
Holding on to
One last breakthrough

New York city
Love came quickly 
You are pleasure 
I am pity 

Dreaming of the scent of 
The stars, 
The stars in the bright sky

Hell and Heaven
Bold obsession 
Holding onto 
One last thank you

Love and fever 
Make believer 
Take my measure 
The one deceiver 

Dreaming of the scent of 
The stars, 
The stars in the bright sky

Stars In The Bright Sky

Deep Down (Original Mix)

two chaos children collide 
again as fate provides  

to protect this fish
to raise the flood

slipping into new lakes 
happiest mud 

tuning without knowledge
the rhythmic sapiophone

together known 
in sonic bombast shown

protect this fish

Blues, rock, dirty, saxophone, cigar box guitar, instrumental, moody, catchy.

El Suchi & Uniq bring us the mystical sounds of Latin America in this Shipibo chant. Shinitapon Maquina is the name of a pipe used to activate sacred medicinal plants and to clear dark energies. The Icaro, sung by J'ezpere Njord, is carried deep into the soul through hypnotic rhythms and captivating instrumentation from Guatemalan producers El Suchi & Uniq. The track is a beautiful manifestation of the intertwining energy of diverse cultures to serve and honor the healing powers of plants.

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

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.
