Introduction in English:
A few years ago, one of my best friends almost died as a result of his alcohol addiction. One autumn day, almost exactly 20 years ago, I wanted to visit him in his small Berlin apartment, because I had not been able to reach him by phone for days and he did not respond to my mails. I was very worried about him. 
Since the door was open, I was able to get into his apartment, which was completely devastated and partly badly damaged. 
As I heard later, he had gone completely crazy after a repeated alcoholic excess. Neighbors had called the police, who then took him to the closed psychiatric ward. 
This low point in his life also meant a decisive turning point for him. Since that day, he has remained sober and has not touched a drop of alcohol. 
During one of our musical jam sessions this year, he asked me to write a song that would help him to better understand this time of self-destruction and to integrate it more into his life story. 
The result is this song "Naked".....  

Lyrics in English

Naked

Almost like broken glass
The curtain grayed and already wet

The door to the entrance bent

Under the brass knuckles completely naked

Your table is painted black with pitch
Your Fender paid with life

On the floor badly injured guitars

Under the scream of rage only naked

The walls you have smeared with the signs of war
In a drug rush you sensed diabolic forces in you

You pulled the plug on yourself 
Betrayed your loving side

Entered the Thanatos carpet
Succumbed to the temptation to kill

Set the lights to night
Have bequeathed yourself as a victim

The world disgust has grabbed you 
Under the hatred unprotected naked

The hinges of your cabinets are shattered
Your sink is rusting silently

From the sofa the wool pushes itself

The light bulb shimmers completely naked

Your umbrella is overstretched
Food scraps stick to the edge of your plate

In your folders like weeds papers
In the entrance the rats already are on lookout

You have put the cloak of darkness all around you
Got excited by the thrill of wanting to destroy

You pulled the plug on yourself 
Betrayed your loving side

Entered the Thanatos carpet
Succumbed to the temptation to kill

Set the lights to night
Have bequeathed yourself as a victim

The world disgust has grabbed you 
Under the hatred unprotected 
naked, naked, naked!


Deutscher Originaltext:

Nackt

Fast wie zerbrochenes Glas
Der Vorhang ergraut und schon nass

Die Türe zum Eingang verbogen

Unter dem Schlagring ganz nackt

Dein Tisch ist mit Pech schwarz bemalt
Deine Fender hat mit dem Leben bezahlt

Am Boden schwer verletzte Gitarren

Unter dem Wutschrei nur nackt

Die Wände hast Du mit den Zeichen des Krieges beschmiert
Im Drogenrausch diabolische Kräfte in Dir aufgespürt

Hast Dir den Stecker gezogen 
Deine liebende Seite betrogen

Den Thanatos-Teppich betreten
Bist der Verführung zu töten erlegen

Stelltest die Lichter auf Nacht
Hast Dich als Opfer vermacht

Der Weltekel hat Dich gepackt 
Unter dem Hass schutzlos nackt

Die Scharniere Deiner Schränke zerborsten
Deine Spüle ist stumm am verrosten

Aus dem Sofa drängt sich die Wolle

Die Glühbirne schimmert ganz nackt

Dein Regenschirm ist überspannt
Essensreste kleben am Tellerrand

In Deinen Ordnern wie Unkraut Papiere
Im Eingang stehen die Ratten schon Schmiere

Hast Dir den Mantel der Dunkelheit ganz umgelegt
Hast Dich am Kick des Zerstören wollens erregt

Hast Dir den Stecker gezogen 
Deine liebende Seite betrogen

DenThanatos-Teppich betreten
Bist der Verführung zu töten erlegen

Stelltest die Lichter auf Nacht
Hast Dich als Opfer vermacht

Der Weltekel hat Dich gepackt 
Unter dem Hass schutzlos 
nackt, nackt, nackt!

Lyrics:
You've nowhere left to turn
With all your bridges burned
Fell into every trap
Now there's no way back
You know it's on the cards
And we can end this farce
We caught you fair and square
Time to say your prayers
It's karma time for you
No escape
The final move is made
Checkmate
You've nowhere left to turn
With all your bridges burned
Fell into every trap
Now there's no way back
You know it's on the cards
And we can end this farce
We caught you fair and square
Time to say your prayers
It's karma time for you
No escape
The final move is made
Checkmate

After Infinity

Jeremy J. Saks - After Infinity

No matter how fast you move, she is still far away... why?

Lets face it, we all love the music we make and share. This is my own latest fave :)

Fun fact, in childhood I was always impressed by those pianists walking blazing fast thru the keys. Here in the bridge (1:41-2:14)I "did it". Not on a piano keys. On Push 2. Also put into a scale. Quickly running up and down on 5x5 grid ... not really knowing what I'm doing :) Dreams come true, she is getting near! 

Lead synth is Arturia OP-Xa VST also played on Push 2 pads, no programming. Some Polybrute, few Pigments lines, and IK Syntronik. With lotsa FabFilter Pro-C, Pro-Q3, Timeless. Bassline is 3 Arturia MiniMoogs. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Cover art: a personal star and road to Lick Observatory, California, 20 miles from house. Thanks! 

Musically yours! ~ S.P. ~

Got in my head that I wanted to play something with a little staccato and this is what came out. Also thought it would be a good idea to do all four seasons and recruited three pianists to complete the cycle. Delighted that Debra Buesking agreed to take on summer and here is a link to her wonderful interpretation:
https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/summer-interrupted-c/s-6ix0O3wrxbm

Two additional Soundcloud artists have agreed to tackle Fall and Winter and when their inspiration results in a track the links will be here too. I have also put together a playlist where all four tracks eventually will be in a collection.

I spent seventeen long winters in Stockholm. Funnily enough the most challenging season to me was always spring with all the false starts and long hiatuses. By the time it’s May and you can reasonably expect some warmish weather (defined as over 50F) it inevitably snows and destroys your planned weekend bike ride, or maybe you just have to keep your down jacket in the closet a few more weeks and leave your lighter clothes at the back of the closet. Of course, spring is the beginning of a period of more fun and games. Hopefully you can hear the pull between spring trying to break through and winter lingering on in this music.

This is a performance with no post recording edits. It is entirely in Gm except for 1 note intended to denote a dissonant interruption. I wonder who can locate that B.

Spring Interrupted

I like listening Psytrance. And Psybient too. When I play my Electronica they always get in a middle  :) - Psytronica? 

...... right, used synths: Moog Subsequent 37CV and Arturia VSTs: Juno6, MiniMoog (x3), OP-Xa, Pigments, plus ANA2, FabFilters Twin 2. Mastered with UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, and FabFilters. As always new and a dozen other tracks are downloadable on my accounts, thanks!

Personal Borealis

Introduction in English:
Over 30 years ago, I did a six-week hitchhiking trip in Ireland. Right at the beginning of the tour I met Ian and we hitchhiked through the beautiful Emerald Isle. 
We quickly discovered that we were both stuck in completely hopeless love affairs. He in London and me in Berlin. Both of us didn't want to admit it for a long time. Now, after countless attempts to save our relationship, we had fled to Ireland. 
I described my rescue efforts as a "Himmelfahrtskommando“. But there is no real equivalent for this German pun in English. The closest thing is "Suicide Mission". And so we came to call our community of fate "Suicide-Himmelfahrt-Mission". 
After this unforgettable tramp journey we always stayed in contact with each other. 
Until earlier this year, Ian's mother informed me that he had died unexpectedly of a heart attack. 
Accordingly, I dedicate this song to my friend Ian, who passed away much too soon. 
In the first part I sing the chorus in German. In the second part I imagine how the almost always cheerful jazz friend Ian would have sung the verses and the chorus. And in the third part, I imagine how the two of us would have sung the chorus together.

Lyrics in English:

From above, look down on me
Have completely overstretched myself

I sadly think oft he last day
I believed that could be done

Saw no age, no boundaries
Even defied the death

Suicide Mission
I can’t stand it
I am breaking down
Totally wounded
Lie to myself
All is lost
This is a Suicide Mission

Life seemed to me wihout meaning
Now finally I had the mission

First I flew along as if in a daze
Completely filled with a great vision

Yes, to heal you
And to redeem you
From the Trauma Suck

I ask myself on e last time
Why didn`t I look there?

Right in front of me the torture stake
And the warners shouted aloud

No demureness
Remote from earth
In wanting to be god burned

Refrain auf Deutsch:

Himmelfahrt
Alles zu hart
Brech‘ in mich ein
Blut wie ein Schwein
Total verschätzt
Tödlich verletzt
Das ist ein Himmelfahrtskommando

Suicide-Himmelfahrt-Mission

"Circus Reinvented" was the title of the track with which we opened our first LP "The reality is never enough". Commemorating its 10th anniversary we have revised and modified some instruments, effects, arrangements and mixes, not much, but enough to make it look a little different.

Stuttering Juggernaught

Lyrics

It's a desert storm
In my 4-door
Our smoky lungs and cherry eyes

We don't pray for rain
Hope it never change
Just burn my problems into flames

Tryna rationalize the pain I have inside
All this stress got me feeling confused
Tryna catch a break and levitate away
Take a pull and let you get me through

Finding heaven
Sweet nirvana
I can feel it slowly taking over my mind
Sweet heaven
In your presence
I can feel it slowly taking over my mind

I can touch the sky
In your arms tonight
Just hold me closer to the light
Whole world seems so small
I don't wanna talk
Just rest my head and feel your heart

Tryna rationalize the pain I have inside
All this stress got me feeling confused
Tryna catch a break and levitate away
Take a pull and let you get me through

Finding  Heaven

A sweet little Persian word, however not in this phonetic writing ;). This one is for my love for whom I have written quite a few, this one I consider to be part two of another song I wrote five years ago. Same vibe, same feeling... Different guitar, themes and effects, using all light gain settings.

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always I really appreciate the comments, likes and shares.
