The refraintheme is quoted from „Roadside Picnic“, a science-fiction novel by Arkadij and Boris Strugatzki, 1977


Roadside Picnic

It says, that it is quite a decade ago
That unknown visitors, assumed alien race
left traces in six different places on earth
Like bullet holes 
On a surface of a rotating globus
In a smooth curve,
Like a pearl necklace

„A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. Cars drive off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning they leave.“

Ever since then 
there has been 
A growing illegal market 
Around those vistation zones
Wich are full of unexplained phenomena
A subculture  called stalkers, 
Scavengers 
Who go into the zones 
To steal the artifacts for Profit, 
Has evolved all around these zones.
Red is in the centre of the story
And he is so deeply, fatally involved…


„The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night 
Creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? 
Old spark plugs and old filters strewn around... Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a monkey wrench left behind... „

There are „Burner“, „Burnt Fuzz“ and „Electro“
There are „Fruit Punch“, „Vortex“ and „Whirlgig“
There are „Shriekers“ and the feared „Hell Slime“, 
The brutal “Meatgrinder“ 
And the „Golden Sphere“, 
That makes your most secret wishes come true
There are mutations, conspiracy, 
Secret organizations
Resurgance, 
Annihilation and indispensibly 
Alcohol and tragedy

„And of course, the usual mess—apple cores, Candy wrappers, charred remains of the campfire, 
Cans, bottles, somebody’s hankerchief, Somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, faded flowers picked in another meadow.“

It was maybe just a short stop of some unaware others…
So once written down by the Strugatzki Brothers
So once written down by the Strugatzki Brothers
By the Strugatzki Brothers

Experience the delicate nuances of 'Velvet Touch: Pure Felt Improvisation', a profound solo piano piece performed on a finely tuned Felt piano. This track captures the essence of raw emotion and unparalleled clarity, with each note finely crafted to convey a tapestry of introspective melodies. The Felt piano's unique tonal quality enhances the depth and softness of the improvisation, making every keystroke a whisper of musical poetry.

Velvet Touch: Pure Felt Improvisation

Written by Roland Dyens. Apparently Skaï is a French slang term for imitation leather, and here references the gauchos of Argentina and Southern Brazil who are known for their distinctive leather outfits. Hence Tango en Skaï is a humorous, gaudy take on the tango.

Sadly, French guitarist and composer Roland Dyens passed away on October 29th, 2016. One of the greatest classical guitarists of his generation, he was a teacher, a prolific composer and a phenomenal performer with a sly, understated sense of humor and wonderful ability to improvise. 

His arrangements of jazz standards like Night in Tunisia, Round Midnight and Django’s Nuages have become standards in their own right for classical guitarists around the world. He will be missed, his music will live on. Roland repose en paix.
