In The Air

Hello. Here's something i created lately, an experiment of sort - as it's always an experiment when i think of how to play with sounds. It's kind of a minimal electronic-symphony composition, based around one main loop. I wonder if it will be enjoyable for you. Cheers. :)

(It's a re-upload, yesterday i uploaded version that needed a slight polish here and there)

Just a fun drunk night once upon a time ;)

Hey, Dude

風（winding blows）VOCALOID version

Nothing but the rain

She lifts me up
I don’t feel no sorrow
She lifts me up
I don’t feel no pain
She lifts me up
I don’t feel no danger
Nothing but the rain

I’m all right
I tell my mother
I will stop
Just not today
Can you lend me
A few dollars
For nothing but the rain

She always lets me down
But she lets me down so easily
I can sleep on the street
With her arms around me

I’m a liar
I’m a thief
I am tired
And I am weak
I’m alone
I’m in too deep
With nothing but the rain

She always lets me down
But she lets me down so easily
I can sleep on the street
With her arms around me

You are the judge
You are the jury
You gave me nothing
For the pain
I prayed to God
He didn’t know me 
Nothing but the rain

She always lets me down
But she lets me down so easily
I can sleep on the street
With her arms around me
She will save my life 
Before she kills me
It’s nothing I mind
Nothing but the rain

Nothing but the rain (home recording)

i want to be ice (single version)

Description: In March of 2020, I was curious how a collaboration could sound if the collaborators didn't know who each other were and what they would create. I wanted the collaboration to be created in a straight (linear) path, not mixed, re-mixed and layered over, as most collaborations are created. 
So there I was, sending this invitation to various Sound Cloud artists I follow:
"LINEAR COLLABORATION" is the name of my new project!!
Would you like to to volunteer as a collaborator? ....and it goes like this:
As the concept coordinator, I will tie a collaboration in one linear path starting with my 20- 30 sec. secret/anonymous untitled instrumental. I will pass that secret track to the next person. The next person will create a 20-30 sec. untitled instrumental which they think might sound good right after the secret/anonymous track they received from me. When completed within a week, that person will send their newly created 20-30 sec. untitled instrumental to me. only. When received, I will send that anonymous segment (only) to the person next in line who's style I think will sound as a nice follow-through or an interesting contrast to the secret track they received. The only part of the project you will know is the one anonymous track sent to you. That instrumental will be the one right before your's in the final collaboration track. If needed, the only changes I might make is volume levels and/or shortening the length via fade-in/fade-out. You are the sole writer and producer of your composition. Even if the collaboration track might "sound better" by rearranging the order, I will not change the order in which the tracks are sent and received. I want it to be an honest linear path with unpredictable continuity, contrasts and surprising results. Once the project is complete, I will post it. That is when you will discover who created that anonymous secret track you received. You will also discover who received your anonymous track as inspiration. Best of all, you will finally know who your fellow team members are and how the whole game played-out!
How The Game Played-out! :
On the whole, what you hear is what I got,
What I got was a wonderful result from 12 other collaborators who didn't know what the other's were creating and mixing individually! This comprehensive track clearly represents the personality, style and creativity of each artist. Every contributor has made this process thoroughly enjoyable! As a result, sometime before the end of this year, next in line is Linear Collaboration 2 . How many collaborators and who are next in line? 
... I don't know yet...perhaps one might be you!

Reflections And Refractions

I have with this shadow of the original piece made an effort, to stay true to the sheet music - as I would have imagined the different version of the tours would have been - but I made sure to still make it “my own”, with a few addition along with the rework. 

This process of recomposing another artists work have been a lot of fun, and brought a some learning challenges along.

Thank you to SA and to Alev Lenz - alevlenz.com for this awesome project, and for keeping us creating.
