i: The Conception
BIRTH MOTHER:
I went in with good intentions
To start a family
Your dad had to go so far away
He couldn't be with me

And since I believe in right-to-life
I put this into play
Surrogates to lead you to
The fate of the ghost train
Ghost train haze

2:25
ii: The Reception
THE SON:
Right from the conception
The cycle of a karmic stage
Right from the reception
Ridin' on a ghost train haze

They put me in their culture
To mold me to their ways
My reality for the future is
Trippin' on a ghost train haze, yeah

3:00
iii: The Deception
ADOPTED MOTHER:
I didn’t want you to find out
Your namesakes’ fate in life
I wanted you to be like us
I even chose your wife

When you found out the deep dark secret
A psychotic karmic phase
I had no choice but to shut you out
It's the fate of the ghost train
Ghost train haze

4:30
iv. The Redemption
BIRTH MOTHER:
My spirit has been with you
On the shade; in Christmas songs
It was very hard for you
Not feeling you belonged

I led you back to where you're from
To see how we were raised
And we welcome you with open arms
The last stop on the ghost train
Ghost train haze

Ghost Train Haze

Third piece in a series of experiments to try other approaches:
'The Crystalline'. You're welcome to listen if you like, if you can.

Future III: The Crystalline

Anther track inspired by Asimov's "Foundation" series. The Mule (a rather unkind epithet for this enigmatic character) is a mutant (aren't we all?). He's also a clown and a megalomaniac. At his core, however, he's incredibly sad and lonely.
My wah peddle isn't functioning, so I used Native Instruments samples for the guitar licks! 

The illustration is by Alexander Wells - from the now deleted Folio Society edition of the book.

Inspired by Marco's beautiful and touching haiku, this piece was born from a fascinating dialogue with the beta version of Qosmo's Neutone_Gen using the haiku text itself ... Enjoy!

What's a month for the sea

waves touch my feet - Naviarhaiku 528

J'air repris ici dans une toute nouvelle version un de mes premiers morceaux créés au moment où je m'étais acheté, il y a maintenant déjà quelques années, mon piano numérique (Roland FP30) qui m'enchantait à lui tout seul par ses sonorités nouvelles pour moi. Il perd malheureusement beaucoup ici de sa sonorité, car je ne peux le brancher à ma carte audio que par sa sortie casque. De cette première version et de son arrangement d'époque j'ai cependant conservé ici  la partie centrale. J'espère que vous apprécierez son ambiance très rêveuse

Thank you all for your comments, because there is always room for improvement
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)
