"A City of Refuge" – Cover by Mr. Squiggly Riggs
This is my rendition of "A City of Refuge," originally written, composed, and performed by the legendary Ehud Banai. The song's profound lyrics and evocative melody resonate deeply, capturing themes of sanctuary, hope, and the human longing for belonging. In this cover, I sought to honor Banai's timeless artistry while bringing my unique interpretation to the piece. I hope you enjoy this heartfelt tribute to one of his most iconic works.

A City Of Refuge - Cover

This house remix reimagines one of Shlomo Artzi's nuanced tracks, where a young, somewhat naïve man confesses to his girlfriend about how birds in flight remind him of women from his past. The song’s mix of playful introspection and emotional vulnerability is transformed into a dynamic house groove, layering rhythmic textures and pulsating beats with the essence of the original melody. This remix captures both the lighthearted and tender undertones, inviting listeners to connect with the character’s candid yet awkward honesty on the dance floor.

The Birds Flew By Yesterday - Remix

Picture this: the sun dipping low, a salty breeze teasing your hair, and a cocktail in hand—but not just any cocktail. This one's electric.
Electric Cocktail shakes up a classic samba groove with jumping lead guitar licks, playful doo-waps, and a rhythm so tight it'll have your hips moving before your brain catches up. It's the kind of tune that sneaks up on you, swirling you into its syncopated pulse like the second (or third?) drink of the night.

The guitar pinches and struts, the bassline bounces with mischief, and somewhere in the mix, a smooth Rhodes glues it all together—like a bartender who knows just the right pour. One sip, one note, and you're gone.

So take a step onto the dancefloor, let the sway of the night pull you in, and raise your glass to Electric Cocktail—the sound of a good time you won’t remember, but will never forget.

Electric Cocktails

DIAGNOSIS: Acute Gnosis

Observed symptoms include persistent questioning of perceived reality, elevated metacognitive function, and spontaneous dissolution of conventional belief structures. Patient exhibits marked increases in pattern recognition and meaning-making capabilities, often accompanied by periods of profound therapeutic confusion.

Key indicators:
- Recurring episodes of paradigm reconstruction
- Heightened awareness of symbolic architecture in everyday phenomena
- Chronic dismantling of previously held certainties
- Intermittent states of cosmic humor

Prognosis: Terminal enlightenment with recurrent phases of productive uncertainty. Condition typically progresses from initial destabilization through multiple cycles of death-and-rebirth metaphenomena. Patient may experience permanent shifts in ontological framework.

Treatment is generally contraindicated, as attempts to suppress symptoms often accelerate the condition's development. Recommended management includes integration periods, contemplative practices, and regular exposure to paradox.

Note: Condition appears to be contagious through prolonged philosophical contact. Healthcare providers should maintain appropriate epistemological distance unless prepared for potential transmission.

Gnosis

"Late Evening" drifts in like a warm breeze under city lights—a slow, swaying groove wrapped in smooth jazz chords and soft pizzicato guitar. The rhythm moves easy, like footsteps on quiet pavement, while deep, breathing strings rise and fall, setting the mood just right. This is the sound of time stretching, of golden glows fading into neon reflections, of thoughts unraveling at their own pace. No rush, no weight—just the steady pulse of a night that doesn’t ask questions.

Take a deep breath, lean back, and let it carry you.

Late Evening

"Beats, Sounds, Colors and Patterns" is a laid-back sonic sketchbook, where rhythm paints and silence listens. Every bar moves like a brushstroke — precise but effortless, looping through textures that feel both familiar and new. The voice drifts between moments, landing gently on pockets of groove, drawing shapes in sound and emotion. It's not just a track — it's a pattern you can feel, a color you can hear, and a beat you can breathe to.

Beats, Sounds, Colors and Patterns

"Why'd You Leave" is a late-night apology I never got to say out loud.
It's about waking up alone, staring at the places we built together, and realizing too late that silence speaks louder than anything I could've fixed.
I know I can't take it back — but if this track finds you, maybe you'll know I meant to fight for us.

It's laid-back, it's broken, it's true.

Thank you for listening.
