Above the clouds (single)

Astrofaros - Above the clouds

A cherry tree is called "sakura " in Japan. Seasonal changes in the cherry trees are expressed in this song. It consists of three parts.

 I: A shower of falling cherry blossoms.

 II: The season of fresh verdure. The trees have bunches of green cherries.

 III: Calm trees in a fine rain.

  Enjoy the scenery!

  Thank you.

(This is the newly mixed down version of my song "SAKURA macaron Bus".)

Hello. I'm not sure if this track is still a work in progress or if it ever could be finished. But it is finished now (as i uploaded it) and it's a pure experiment with many free samples i managed to acquire from freesound.org. (creative commons domain) 

While i had some fun i wonder if it will be also interesting for you. It's very weird! Please be advised to listen carefully. Also after listening please remove your headphones with utmost precausion. Cheers.

Other notes:

➤ It seems i am currently unable of creating shorter track titles!

Hello. Here's something i created lately, an experiment of sort - as it's always an experiment when i think of how to play with sounds. It's kind of a minimal electronic-symphony composition, based around one main loop. I wonder if it will be enjoyable for you. Cheers. :)

(It's a re-upload, yesterday i uploaded version that needed a slight polish here and there)

Other notes:

➤ Credits for the picture to this song: It's an excerpt taken from the Reina Cottier Art, "Band of Gold" project.

And that's how it is. The more you follow, the more it gets impossible to know what's new in your circles. Sure i can create a "list" of those who i want to check more often if they uploaded something new... but really? I can only hope that soundcloud will one day change something in their engine so at least a kind of checkbox for "Include Reposts" in your own personal Stream will be available. And what a difference it would make! 

But now the life of a decent soundclouder whose main interest is in the creations of people he actually follows.. is hard. But at least through that hardship you can develop... Your Own Art Of Scrolling Through Reposts, In Search For Original Tracks! Yes! How fast can YOU scroll through your own Stream tab??

Other notes: 

➤ This track is a true story, it was initialized with the intention of capturing the feeling you can get when honing your Scrolling Art.

The Art of Scrolling Through Reposts (In Search for Original Tracks)

Layers of sounds - layers of clouds!...
Close your eyes and imagine flying through different layers of clouds!...

Hey, Dude

Le château de Prague (en tchèque : Pražský hrad), parfois abrégé en « le Château », est le château fort où les rois de Bohême, les empereurs du Saint-Empire romain germanique, les présidents de la République tchécoslovaque, puis de la République tchèque, siègent ou ont siégé. Les joyaux de la couronne de Bohême y sont conservés. Le Livre Guinness des records l'a listé comme le plus grand château ancien du monde ; il s’étend en effet sur 570 mètres de long et 130 de large. 

Situé sur la colline de Hradčany et dominant la Vieille Ville de Prague et Malá Strana, cet ensemble monumental émerge d’une couronne de jardins et de toits et déploie sa longue façade horizontale d’où jaillissent les tours de la cathédrale Saint-Guy et de la basilique Saint-Georges. 

English translation : 

Prague Castle (Czech: Pražský hrad; [ˈpraʒskiː ˈɦrat]) is a castle complex in Prague, Czech Republic, dating from the 9th century. It is the official residence of the President of the Czech Republic. The castle was a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it. 

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world, occupying an area of almost 70,000 square metres (750,000 square feet), at about 570 metres (1,870 feet) in length and an average of about 130 metres (430 feet) wide. The castle is among the most visited tourist attractions in Prague attracting over 1.8 million visitors annually.

Intrigues Au Château De Prague 5

風（winding blows）VOCALOID version

Nothing but the rain

She lifts me up
I don’t feel no sorrow
She lifts me up
I don’t feel no pain
She lifts me up
I don’t feel no danger
Nothing but the rain

I’m all right
I tell my mother
I will stop
Just not today
Can you lend me
A few dollars
For nothing but the rain

She always lets me down
But she lets me down so easily
I can sleep on the street
With her arms around me

I’m a liar
I’m a thief
I am tired
And I am weak
I’m alone
I’m in too deep
With nothing but the rain

She always lets me down
But she lets me down so easily
I can sleep on the street
With her arms around me

You are the judge
You are the jury
You gave me nothing
For the pain
I prayed to God
He didn’t know me 
Nothing but the rain

She always lets me down
But she lets me down so easily
I can sleep on the street
With her arms around me
She will save my life 
Before she kills me
It’s nothing I mind
Nothing but the rain

Nothing but the rain (home recording)

All of It

I Miss You

On one of my numerous hitchhiking trips I met "Poinariu" (name changed...), a then 40-year-old Romanian who fled from Bucharest via Paris (the place where I met them) to Berlin before her violent husband with her young German lover. We hitchhiked back to Berlin together and there I supported "Poinariu" in her attempt to free herself from her repressive husband. At our meetings I saw how she blossomed and began to live her own freedom. And yet, as it went on, I had to watch as she was gradually being haunted and captured again by the "Spouse Demons" from within. One day she didn't come to an appointment and left me only a text message that she would return to her husband. I never saw her again. 

At the end of the song "Poinariu" (...or Freedom and Violence), I shout out her name several times sadly; my pain that she has reversed again just before the goal. At the same time, however, the acoustic lead guitar that finally sets in announces my never-ending hope that women can free themselves from male violence and that in the meantime I have also been able to accompany some who have made it permanently!    


English translation of the lyrics:

Poinariu, a Song about Freedom and Violence

Ooh Poinariu
come on close the door!

Your husband's about to come in
gives you pain
is screaming
can never forgive you

You only wanted to free yourself
escape from the Marriage Prison
from Budapest fled to Berlin
to your young lover

Breathe for yourself once
walk on pearls  
turn about your own axis loudly

Shaken off the spouse's dictate
Ready to jump

Ooh Poinariu
you are still wearing red shoes

The last night of love
has brought the morning star straight to your bed

Kissed by the young lover
not for a second did you miss your husband

The streets appeared so far
almost got rid of the compulsory chain dress

Forgot only the shackle on your foot that tied you invisibly to him

Had the door just ajar
Didn't really banish the demons
at night he hit his poison dentures
deep inside yourself

You had come so close to the castle courtyard
In front of the entrance
but you never arrived

Poinariu, Poinariu
Poinariu, Poinariu


Deutscher Originaltext:

Poinariu, ein Song über Freiheit und Gewalt

Ooh Poinariu
komm` mach` die Türe zu

Gleich kommt Dein Mann herein
verschafft Dir Pein
ist am schrein`
kann Dir niemals mehr verzeihn`

Du wolltest Dich doch nur befrein`
dem Ehegefängnis enteiln`
aus Budapest flohst nach Berlin
zu Deinem Young-Lover hin

Einmal selbst atmen
auf Perlen gehen
sich um die eigene Achse laut drehen

Abgeschüttelt das Gatten-Diktat
Zum Sprung bereit

Ooh Poinariu
noch trägst Du rote Schuh`

Die letzte Liebesnacht
hat Dir den Morgenstern direkt ans Bett gebracht

Vom jungen Liebhaber geküßt
keine Sekunde den Gatten vermißt

Die Strassen erschienen so weit
sich fast entledigt des Zwangs-Kettenkleids`

Vergaßt nur die Fessel am Fuß, die Dich unsichtbar band an ihn

Hattest die Türe nur angelehnt
die Dämonen nicht wirklich verbannt
des Nachts schlug er sein Gift-Gebiß
tief in Dich hinein

Warst so nah` am
Schloßhof dran

Vor`m Eingang stehend
doch kamst nie an

Poinariu, Poinariu
Poinariu, Poinariu

Poinariu, A Song About Freedom And Violence (Intro: English Translation)

i want to be ice (single version)

I usually try not to do what I did the previous week so I've gone from percussive digital orchestra to no percussion and no digital instruments.


I started with the bass line and was so happy with the feel of it after I got the effects set up that I nearly stopped there.
I added 2 guitar tracks with a bog expansive sound.....loads of wash by this point and finally added a drone which I did with 8 tracks of Viola spread across the stereo field.
Did a tonne of EQing and could have done more to get it cleaner in the mid range  but done is done.
I hope you all enjoy
Love to hear your thoughts as always
