Work in progress

Oberon, Miranda & Titania (Pink Floyd cover)

I'm very glad to share this great piece, came through an intense step by step collaboration with Jowwwafi. It started by fitting one of my old poems to some chords he sent to me, then... well you'll get the best description by listening to it 5 or 6 times ;)
Feel free to check our previous collab https://soundcloud.com/jowwwafi/nowhere, and his whole cloud @Jowwwafi.

Letras / Lyrics

Escucho tu risa  /  I listen your laugh
y oigo tus pasos, espero.  /  and hear your steps, I wait.
Te miro, y al ver tu sonrisa,  /  I look at you, and seeing your smile,
no dudo, te quiero.  /  I don’t doubt, I love you.

La suave fragancia en tu cuerpo jovial,  /  The soft fragrance in your cheerful body,
llegó el amor, tu perfume me excita,  /  love came, your scent excites me,
tu cálido aroma, es primaveral,  /  your hot aroma, is from springtime,
y versos de amor sobre tí me recita.  /  and verses of love about you it recites me.

Tu risa sincera,  /  Your laugh is honest,
tu risa, hermosa,  /  your laugh, beautiful,
tus labios, preciosa,  /  your lips, precious,
hacen que te quiera;  /  they make me to love you;
si bien yo quisiera  /  Though I wanted
con ellos hacer otra cosa:  /  with them to do another thing:

¡Ay si yo pudiera  /  Ay if I could
besar, tan siquiera,  /  kiss, at least,
tan maravillosa,  /  so wonderful,
tu boca,  /  your mouth,
color de la rosa!  /  color of the rose!

Tu boca, color de la rosa (with Jowwwafi)

May the planet of love bestow a relaxing meditative state for you to rise.

Lots of synths - bass arp, pianos, reverb and acoustic guitars, orchestral basses, cello, and French horn set to hip hop and Latin beats at 75 bpm.

I played French horn as a child from age 10-18 in a public school concert band and later marching band. So I added a brief French horn passage with cello in a short classical treatment to herald the arrival of Venus and a nod to the Renaissance painting of the Goddess of Love.

My friend and close collaborator @rplanes offered me this great arrangement and the title and theme that he thought might make an interesting subject matter. Initially, I was scratching my head as the topic seemed too vast but then the ideas started to attach themselves to his melodies and I was hooked. Humans en masse appear to be taking wrong-turnings and making things worse rather than better. This is me letting off a little steam with Rod's help. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Reverse Entropy (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)
We drift from order to chaos,
Like it’s the norm.
Without a sense of pathos,
To see the storm.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Or go where you are told.

We let others cloud our vision,
Like they know best.
What happened to our ambition
Never addressed.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Before we get too old

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge, and fulfilled by skill.
 
We fall for the theorists,
Like it’s gospel.
Go find yourself some realists,
Who’re less hostile.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
While you still have a hold.

We’ve been duped at every turn,
By those we trust.
Without alarm or concern,
Now we are bust.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
If you can still feel bold.

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge and fulfilled by skill.

All our futures are in your hands
With all that it commands
Focus on how it now all stands
Before making your demands.

Mysterious creatures of the forest.

This is one of those songs, you just had to get off your chest! All of you creatives will understand that. Its not the hippest or the coolest song , even the music  is understated and the production is lacking, but the words are where the heart is .

Thank you for all of your wonderful plays playlists and shares, very much appreciated!

Ok, here is another (quite danceble) jafftrack.
Smells still kind of old fashioned eh?
I´ll explain it in the comments.

Changes may be subtle compared to the WIP posting but wanted to be able to sleep at night!

Feathers and Flowers

info: I re-replaced the soundcloud-mastered track (which was far too slick) with the gritty, under-produced and more lo-fi original (in which the birds sound more like themselves, at least)

poem / copyright jo richter:

der regen kam und blieb

selbst die gummistiefel der
bauern – und die bäche – wer
könnte nehmen, all das
nehmen – weg-
gespült, einfach fort-
gespült, die gummistiefel

(viel zu wuchtig an
schlanken reiherbeinen)

eltern setzen ihre kinder
in körbe – die alten
dürfen nicht sterben (wer
könnte bei dieser erde 
ein grab ausheben)

es ist noch nicht ganz sommer
(und irgendwo, in irgend-
einem ozean, wird ein winziger
walfisch geboren)

der regen aber blieb und blieb

interlinear translation:

flooding // rain came to stay // even the wellies of the / farmers – and the brooks – who / could have taken, have taken / all this -  up- / rooted, simply washed / away, the wellies // (far to bulky for / skinny heron legs) // parents placing their children / in baskets – the elderly / are not allowed to die ( for who / could dig a grave in / heavy earth ) // it is not fully summer yet / (and somewhere, in  / some ocean  a wee whale / is being born) // rain, however, stayed to stay //
