I discovered the Dead can Dance in 1995 (and i thanks to my dearest friends:  the brothers Pino and Filippo Sabatelli for that)
One of the songs that immediately struck me was this ...
With its sense of austerity that gave to me and the magnificent voice of Brendan Perry
An iconic group. 
Of those you will always listen to.
I don't feel it's a real cover
But, certainly my personal tribute to this group.
From the second part of the original piece (performed on flute and uillean pipes)
I extracted and modified the harmony by inserting it in the tail of this piece
combining several recent musical ideas.
It is certainly a project to be further investigated and elaborated, also because
there is a synth to tame with some parameter adjustments.
but still a good first version.
we will see !

6. Sky Light Grey - this is the second collaboration I’ve done with Mark Spruce (Original Spruce). These are his lyrics about a moving, spiritual encounter with a robin in an English churchyard and how it triggered thoughts of his father in law’s spirit visiting through that bird. I found it really moving. My tune and performance. Mastered by RCD Audio. 

Sky light Grey 

I’m here, I’m still here
And I will always be here 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
