Beautiful and delicate piano melody... An image of praying that there is hope beyond the end came to my mind!👍

不思議の島

Music: Jan Schonander

This is about as close to a "dittie" as you get in the synth VST world. I loaded up 5 different VSTs, four from Logic Pro X and 1 from Kontakt, mapped them into 5 different and sometimes overlapping parts of the keyboard and played it all in one go. In other words this is a one man band piece that can be performed live - there are no overlays just a single play. It was kind of fun doing this and I felt like one of those street musicians playing on a pedestrian street in front of an old-fashioned department store while playing. Maybe some of you will enjoy.

When https://soundcloud.com/ipg1, historical SC member, offered this open collab from one of his pages: https://soundcloud.com/level-one-up1/unused-multiples-140-bpm-open-for-collab, I was immediately inspired by the modern sound where I felt some rock wanting to get out!

TU AUSENCIA  /  YOUR ABSENCE

(Tu ausencia, tu ausencia…)  /  (Your absence, your absence...)

Hoy que la noche es oscura,  /  Today that the night is dark,
(y estridente)  /  (and strident)
hoy que la noche es brumosa,  /  today that the night is foggy,
hoy que la luna se oculta,  /  today that the moon is hidden,
(largamente)  /  (for long)
la soledad es odiosa.  /  loneliness is hateful.

Hoy que he roto la sonrisa,  /  Today that I broke my smile,
(del pasado)  /  (from the past)
hoy me grita la conciencia  /  today my conscience screams
para acrecentar la prisa,  /  to increase the hurry,
(demasiado)  /  (too much)
careciendo tu presencia.  /  lacking your presence.

El frío de esta noche que ya no es clara,  /  The cold of this night that is no longer clear,
¡el frío de esta noche me llueve tanto!  /  the cold of this night rains on me so much!
y estas gotas que ruedan por mi cara,  /  and these drops that roll down my face,
¿son gotas de lluvia, o son de llanto?  /  are they raindrops, or because of crying?
(¿Son gotas…)  /  (Are they drops...)

Un pasivo gris inunda mi mente,  /  A passive grayness floods my mind,
un gris silencioso que empaña el cielo,  /  a silent grey that steams the sky,
y estos tonos muertos que nadie vierte,  /  and these dead tones that no one pours,
¿son de la tormenta, o por mi duelo?  /  are they from the storm, or from my mourning?
(¿Son de la…)  /  (Are they from the...)

La gélida oscuridad que me viene  /  The cold darkness that comes to me
es la nube fatal de mi existencia,  /  is the fatal cloud of my existence,
pero el frío afilado que me hiere  /  but the sharp cold that hurts me
¿es frío por la noche, o por tu ausencia?  /  is it cold of night, or because of your absence?
(¿Es frío…)   /  (Is it cold...)

Tu Ausencia (with IPG1)

Did you save me
Or did you take me down? down
Prayers are no longer needed
Now i leave the ground
Did you love me
When you held me tight, so tight
Words are illusions but tears never lie

Now I'm a ghost in this world 
Far from the living, far from home
I still have the taste on my tongue
Memories in monochrome
Wandering with peace of mind
Just listening to the blind
I'm ok, leaving it all behind

A ghost in this world,
far from heaven, far from hell
I don't know where i belong
and for now some doubts prevail
Deprived of the essential
What seemed so valuable
I'm ok, lost in intangible

A ghost in the world
Lost in intangible

Did you love me
Did you lie ?
Did you save me
Or take me down ?
-----
Est ce que tu m'as sauvé
Où est ce que tu m'as mis à terre ?
Les prières ne sont plus nécessaires
Maintenant je quitte le sol
Est-ce que tu m'as aimé
Quand tu me tenais serré, si serré
Les mots sont des illusions mais les larmes ne mentent jamais

Maintenant je suis un fantôme dans ce monde 
Loin des vivants, loin de chez moi
J'ai encore le goût sur ma langue
Des souvenirs en monochrome
Errant avec la paix de l'esprit
Écoutant les aveugles
Je vais bien, en laissant tout derrière moi

Un fantôme dans ce monde,
loin du paradis, loin de l'enfer
Je ne sais pas où est ma place
Et pour l'instant, certains doutes subsistent
Privé de l'essentiel
Ce qui semblait si précieux
Je vais bien, perdu dans l'intangible

Un fantôme dans le monde
Perdu dans l'intangible

M'aimais-tu ?
As-tu menti ?
M'as-tu sauvé
Ou m'as-tu fait tomber ?

Ghost

Feel So Good

This is a song that originated with JJ, who was kind enough to share it with Ken (K2 and the Three, and the K2 and the Four), Tez (Llanpsych), and me. I have to say that this was the most fun I've had on a song in a while, mainly because it allowed me to play out my Miles Davis fantasy that I've had brewing for the past 30 or so years. I like to imagine my guitar part as a trumpet part. The reason I'm able to do this is because of JJ's amazing modal keys parts. He's playing a major against a minor riff over an uncommitted bass line. That bass line happens to be rolling along over top of some highly innovative drumming by Ken. It sounds like water falling or someone tripping down the stairs to me. Perfect! After we had it all recorded, we sent it to my man in Manchester, Tez, who painstakingly put it together into a live sounding, balanced song. This was truly a team effort and one of which I'm extraordinary proud.  We all hope you dig it, as well.

Pathfinder

All songs are composed for and first played with real instruments. However sometimes, we use several vst instruments to improve the sound.  We experiment with electronic/EDM sounds and effects, alienate natural instrument, sometimes make it sound more electronic.
We are the rest of a musician group, quite a few years ago (at school), actually instrumentalists, 2 female, one of them piano, oboe, the other piano, clarinet, 1 male, all kinds of guitar, also bass and ukulele. The other two are unfortunately missing now (1 female who was our main singer (bad luck, so we have only us - background singers) and violin and 1 male, also guitars). Occasionally there is a real electric guitar or bass, but probably not recognizable as such. So now we sound quite different than before or, at least here...before starting here, our style contained different elements, folk, classical, pop-Rock, sometimes also Hard/Punk-Rock or Metal. When we play live, we still have that sound. We hope some people like our music here!
