‚Scenery (feat. Ni!)’ is a polyphonic, genre-breaking piece of music. Mechanically percussive rhythm outlines, performed by prepared Pianos and analogue Synthesizers, combined with melodic phrases of woodwinds and brasses, build a hypnotic journey through the grounds of Minimal Music, Ambient, Jazz and Electronica.

Tricky - Sun Down (Parallel Thought Remix) feat. Tirzah

This is a very old song written when I first picked up my music after a long layoff. It is written about Lena Leonardi, our landlady ( Landlord fit the song better  ) back in 1980. We moved into our new apartment when my joyce was pregnant with our first child. Lena was a sort of Philosopher.. Very hard working and always there to offer advice on whatever. She was very kind to us but she was also tough. I recall times when she would come to the back door when we were late on the rent and pound on the glass , and in her endearing Italian accent she would yell " Liggett!!!  I know you're in there !! PLEASE Liggett! PLease pay the rent !! ".. One time I came to the door and had to explain that we just didn't have the money right at the moment...she took me over to her apartment and sat me down while she prepared a couple of jars of Minestrone soup.. homemade and delicious. She said " Liggett, all you need is a little bread, a little bit of soup and a little bit of wine... that's all you need Liggett "  I never forgot her..Joyce and I talk about her once in a while and quote things she told us.. To this day she is in our hearts and minds.. almost like family. And thats how most of the Italians were to me growing up.. treated me well and looked out for me as I lived in a town called Elmwood Park known as little Italy..  Now, back in november of last year when I made the decision to start uploading all of my songs.. who is there b, among many others of course, but two who have given me the most support and good advice along with wonderful and inspiring music and words? But Michael Ansani and the beautiful folks at The Beating Edge.. From Italy...of course. Oh... and Len Benatti  .. you from Italy too?😊So.. I dedicate this song to them and wish them good fortune and calm seas ahead ! Salute!

Lyrics:

Long ago when I was 21 and I was just out on my own
a pretty new bride and a brand new son
trying hard to make a home
I wasn't ready to settle down and I needed some advice
My old Italian Landlord, she always treated me nice

A simple life and a happy home 
and everything will be just fine
But things don't always go that way 
and you can get a little bit behind
well if you lose direction and you're looking for a clue
my old Italian landlord she always knew what to do

She said:  A little bread and a little soup and a little bit of wine
that's all you need , that's all you need
a little luck and a little love and a little bit of time
that's all you need, that's all you need

I met that old lady, all those years ago
she led a very simple life and she always told you so
she was there when we were hungry 
she was there when we were broke
and even after all these years 
i remember the words she spoke

Now and then I think of her she holds a place in my mind
not too many like her so humble and so kind
I hope there's just a few spread around here and there
looking out for guys like me who need someone to care

She said:  A little bread and a little soup and a little bit of wine
that's all you need , that's all you need
a little luck and a little love and a little bit of time
that's all you need, that's all you need


All you need

Something Inside of Me

The Mask Murders is an instrumental Edwardian noir set in Deptford, London, in 1905. Across three acts, the album traces the path from a quiet neighborhood paint shop to the birth of modern forensic justice.

Act I lingers in the world of the victims: a small shop glowing under gaslight, dawn on Deptford High Street, and the low hum of London life. Two discarded masks, an open cash box, and whispers moving through the streets slowly bend the music toward unease. By the time the six days have passed, the city’s everyday sounds—fog, footfall, and a fading music hall waltz—have become the backdrop to a double murder.

Act II shifts into the interior of the new fingerprint bureau. Chamber textures tighten and overlap as motifs are passed between instruments like evidence between hands. Themes are examined, restated, and set in counterpoint, mirroring the growing list of matching points and the investigator’s struggle between professional certainty and private doubt. The sound is small, acoustic, and precise, rooted in early-twentieth-century harmony.

Act III moves to the courtroom and the gallows. Formal, hymn-like writing and slow tolling rhythms carry the listener through the trial at the Old Bailey, the weight of the verdict, and the quiet finality of a morning at Wandsworth. In the closing piece, the fingerprint patterns return in a cool, stripped-back epilogue, suggesting a future in which a few ridges on glass quietly govern life and death.
