This is very good! Lots of hooky stuff going on and well produced

This is just the spirit I need today. Ready to fight the good fight!

Oh, this is sooo good! Some Rage Against the Machine vibe here! Awesome vocals and arrangement! Outstanding production! Fantastic collab! Bravo!

Perfect timing for me to hear this tune. Excellent

Love this. Cool vocals and mixture of textures.

Brilliant modern rocker - good theme too, I've explored that myself a few times.

Maria of Magdala  ft. PAOLA MADELAINE

The first track I did from start to finish on my own.. Thanx to Kit & Mike from falcon for the help and support.

Escape : Cookie Jay

Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:
Varying the Accompaniment: https://youtube.com/shorts/7HAWSz2Mg14?feature=share

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

This track is a collaboration with SeaShea on.soundcloud.com/CnDF4
I tried creating a fall song using the same production style as our collaboration 'Seeing The Sea' with SeaShea from the summer. I believe it's a luxurious experience to create music together while looking at the same moon. Please look forward to our future collaborations.

"Nuff Said" challenges our inner demons. Don't let them drag you down, cause you deserve better. Starting with a catchy riff, we bring you back to good old 2000s nu metal and spiced it up with modern elements. I wrote the instrumental and the hook, Brett Anthony did the rap part and Ampersandman contributed his guitar and bass work to raise the roof. This is to all people who deal with a tough situation and enjoy heavier tones. 
Thanks a lot for the collab!

==== LYRICS ====

Get up, get up
I think I said enough, had enough
Half way through to you
but your head's still filling up

with the lies inside your eyes
that take me by surprise
So I keep my thoughts inside
and I try to spare your life

But I'm one step closer from it
finally being over
Vocally drained, insane
Still seeking closure

I'm a mad man, damaged plan
just can't understand
Out my cage, in a rage
confused and dazed

The hate began on a long lost road
Where is where I think I sold my soul
To the edge I place my toes
As my mind spins out control

Don't you know that it's payback
One last attack, I'm back on track
Flow through the aftermath
because nothing's coming after that

Nuff said,
time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)
But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)

Tik tock tick
the clock it won't stop
It's time to forget
the tears and blood I dropped

It came to this
in case you didn't know
I fill my mind with gasoline
and set fire to this soul

Explode out
this shell and through this hell
No doubt
this curse is one big spell
Sold out
Death is what we sell
And life can only tell
Though the silent screams we yell

I've been knocked down, stomped on
Felt like giving up
Dragged around, tossed to the ground
Not knowing to get up

Messed around and lost my crown
Tested all my luck
Lost and found, stood my ground
Fought all these things I thought were tough

Nuff said
Time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, I keep turning the tide)
But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to)

Nuff said
Still need another fallback
To backstab
And make your head crack
No need no respect
(Leave and don't return again)

Nuff said
Don't wanna talk
You fucking bonehead,
I'm gonna make your head crack
No need to check back
Leave and don't return again

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, but I keep turning the tide)

But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
I got, I got nothing to say

Lyrics:
.
When you need me - far away
Say my name I'll be there today
I hope you know it's with Gods I play
Open your eyes it's a blissful game
. 
(oh)
.
Time together, time we share
Nothing to do but be aware
Hope you see how much I care
Open you eyes and take me there. 
. 
(oh)
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air! 
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air!

Czy wiecznie wpadasz w szał po każdym niepowodzeniu, czy spokojnie starasz się znaleźć rozwiązanie? 😉 Do you constantly fly into a rage after every failure, or do you calmly try to find a solution? 😣 ¿Siempre te pones frenético después de cada fracaso o intentas encontrar una solución con calma?

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. Links below.

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.
