Woaah I ...was not expecting someone with that display pic to sound like this. Bruuuutaaaal. Nice.

intra stellar overdrive. Survive until you die

Introduction in English:

People often tell me that when they are with a loved one who is about to die, they feel particularly close to them. 
Sometimes, in such moments, the history of their relationship flashes before their eyes. 
Some report reaching a deeper peace with the person in question shortly before their death. Often, the dying say things they have never been able to say in their lifetime. For example, a father who, shortly before his death, is able to tell his daughter for the first and only time that he has always loved her.
Many of those left behind tell me that they did not want to let the dying person go, but that they somehow realized that they had to let go of their loved one so that they could pass away as peacefully as possible; that they could not “die with them,” but had to continue living alone. 
And it is not uncommon for those who are approaching death to tell their accompanying relatives that they should continue to live well and in peace.
All of these stories inspired me to write the song “Mourir (Dying).” And as always, for such fundamental existential experiences, I choose the language that best expresses these radical moments of transition: French.


Lyrics (for those, who don`t speak French)

Dying

I watched over your bed 
Sat here with you night after night

Your breathing is very laboured
And it's been a long time
Since I spoke to you

The cancer has destroyed you 
You lie there, powerless and limp

You've lost the fight 
No, you won't be reborn

The thread of your life is increasibly breaking

Your gaze is so empty
Come on, please look at me again 

One last time
Don't go yet
Come on, turn around one last time.

Your heart is beating so weakly
So stay awake a little longer

I'm really letting you go
But let us look at each other once more
A farewell glance before you pass over

It's already too late
I'm saying a prayer for you.

So go in peace
Without pain

Forever my great Love

Französischer Text

Mourir

J'ai veillé à ton chevet
Je suis restée avec toi nuit après nuit
Ta respiration est tres difficile
Et cela fait tres longtemps
que je t'ai parlé

Le cancer t'a emporté
tu es là, sans force et sans vigueur
Tu as perdu la bataille 
non, tu ne renaîtras pas
Le fil de ta vie se rompt de plus en plus

Ton regard est si vide
Viens regarder encore une fois
Une dernière fois
Ne pars pas encore
Tourne-toi encore une fois

Ton cœur ne bat plus que très faiblement
Mais reste encore un peu éveillé

Je vais vraiment te laisser partir
Mais regarde-moi encore une dernière fois
Un regard d'adieu avant la transition

Il est déjà trop tard
je fais une prière pour toi

alors va en paix, libre de toute douleur
Pour toujours mon grand amour

Living of my Needs

Beneath the Shell (2025) - If life were a bug...
Inspired by Kafka's surreal novels, this song is questioning our very existence. What if life has no purpose at all and everything boils down into a cacophony of accidents? Some bugs undergo metamorphosis, others will stay the same. Heavy metalcore riffs meet synthesizers and weltschmerz.

DROWNING ACT I.aif

En la catedral

Voy entrando por la Puerta del Perdón
y mis ojos buscan el gran rosetón
pues sé que me asombrará.

Piedra y silencio con un haz de luz
pausa que invita a reflexionar
y el tiempo se la quiere tomar.

Estribillo

Dejo afuera el bullicio
que se convierte en suplicio
cuando no se puede controlar.

Dentro encuentro la calma
que acaricia mi alma
y que me da infinita paz.

-----------------------

El sol poco a poco deja de alumbrar
dando un destello como celestial
no viene de un dios... es algo igual.

Estribillo

In the cathedral

I enter through the Gate of Forgiveness
and my eyes search for the great rose window
because I know it will amaze me.

Stone and silence with a beam of light
a pause that invites reflection
and time wants to take it.

Chorus

I leave outside the bustle
that becomes torture
when it can't be controlled.

Inside I find the calm
that caresses my soul
and gives me infinite peace.

-----------------------

The sun slowly stops shining
giving off a celestial flash
it doesn't come from a god... it's something similar.

Chorus

En la catedral

Gravity

Im trying to get back into the swing of things ...the sound needs  work. I apoligise.. its about being in the momenent,  wondering?  what is going to happen next.

Much Love and Grace G

Impromptu

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome 'Asteroids (The Original Was Better) (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/asteroids-the-original-was). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements.
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Rapture

Hey music people! 🎸
Here we are with a new track! Well, it’s actually not brand new: we wrote and recorded it over 3 years ago, way before we got on SoundCloud. Now we’ve re-recorded and polished it quite a bit, and here it is.😊
Evolution (Talking With the Past) is a journey through time and generations, exploring memories, changes, and reflections on the past. From ’99 to 2026, we tell how time flies, taking away everything that seemed eternal, but leaving moments of real emotion, energy, and life. It’s a mix of nostalgia and pure energy, with guitars, synths, and a solid groove that we hope will make you feel it.😌
We hope you enjoy it at least a little, and if you feel like it, drop a comment! We’d really love to hear what you think!🙌
Next track, we’ll reconnect with our Apocalyptic Trilogy, complete with a video (probably going to be age-restricted on YouTube, considering the oceans of blood 😅) and some bloopers. Let’s see what comes out of it.
Oh, and a little spoiler: for Halloween we’re working on a song in Italian (don’t worry, we’ll post the English translation too!).
Enjoy! Love you all! 🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on October 9, 2025.

Lyrics:

Greetings
here’s two thousand five
we are so free and so alive
for this
this life we live

Hey
so what’s up?
this
is twenty twenty-five
Goodbye

Hey
we can’t believe this
this
this thing
this thing is real
(Wow)

Talking
with the past
they were doing
all their best
but time
is passing by
flying away
wave goodbye
Goodbye

Hey you guys
it’s ’99
all the drama
now is coming back
right into our heads
bringing back
the mess in our lives

Hello dudes
the millennium now is past
and things are going mad
the year now is two thousand twenty

Talking
with the past
they were doing
all their best
but time
is passing by
flying away
wave goodbye

The pandemic hit
and the world paused
our lives rewrote

Hey
here’s two thousand twenty-six
the world keeps spinning
free to die

Now
there’s nothing we can do
you’re just following us
and in a not-so-far day
you will say what we say
you will look at your past
and realize that
all the good things you had
now are memories in the past

Talking
with the past
they were doing
all their best
but time
is passing by
flying away
wave goodbye

Goodbye!

Evolution (Talking With the Past)

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. My music is free from AI and always will be.

⚠️Technical issues
My distributor's contract with SoundCloud only offers uploads for 30 countries. There is not much I can do about that, because I need their services for my complex collab situation. If you can't play my songs here, please follow me on any other streaming platform. Just follow the buy link of the individual song.

🎵June 2025
Still working down my pile of unfinished projects and re-releasing older songs. Feel free to comment and repost. As a rule of thumb, electronic music is old. I don't have the capacity for collaborations and remixes.
