this rolled up in the SC player and I heard it before seeing who it was; never woulda guessed this was a "NOBS" piece.  This is really cool Norbert.

Revisited here. So beautiful! Great soundscape!

Nice blend of sonic elements! [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

very chilled folky vibes, lovely acoustic riff that drives this one!

The amazing Faerytale  as  Cyneburg lets Oswald know exactly who is
wearing the trousers in this Royal household. 

Northumbria c 635 AD.  

King in the North ! by the grace of God
and the gore, of my enemies and friends
Peace,  my gift, to the poor,  the rich
bloodstained, I make amends  ( amen ) 

A King must have an heir, must needs a wife be there
If she's pretty, so much the better
A match to be weighed,  a suitable Royal Maid
if she's witty, I'll just, ignore her...

Pray, my 'Lord and Master'
Read you soon this 'Lysistrata'*
In the Greek...
If you read  ? 

A tale,
Statehood verses Manhood
Try my mettle, 
if you will...

Should you listen, I will guide you
Lay beside you.....For the land
War should not please you
 The Love of Christ can free you.......from these ways

King in the North ! by the grace of God
and the skill of my Queen
Crops on the land,
strong my hand
and the cross triumphant.* 

 'Lysistrata'. A play by Aristophanes. 
 'The Cross Triumphant'.. Oswald raised a cross before the Battle of Heavenfield and gifted the island of  Lindisfarne to the church in thanks for his victory.

Oswald  ♥'s Cyneburg.  :)

Oswald and Cyneburg..........with  Faerytale

This Is How I Trap

The black eye stares
But doesn't see
The crackhead floats
But he's never free

The fire is dark
Awaits the match
No ember to kindle
No flame to catch

I wish I'd something left to wish for
I wish I cared
I'd step over the edge for you
If I dared

The house lies silent
No piano plays
Not even the echo of yesterdays

Cold and empty
Reality thin
A home's just a building
When no one's in

I wish I'd something left to wish for
I wish I cared
I'd step over the edge for you
If I dared

Empty House

Summer Tune

I have never recorded with acoustic guitar, so this is my first try.
I hope you like this small instrumental.

Open collab with Noxpox (page 5): my version of RL1. Some percussive sounds were added for rhythmic purposes but the rest is all resamples of the original stems from Noxpox page 5

Noxpox RL1 [ Gruppo Infernal version ]

Whipped up a variation of a previously created backing track that I had arranged using BIAB, and then added a contemporaneous lead while listening and playing along on my Fender Mustang. Mixed it all up and named it 'Light It Up'. Hope it's enjoyed. We all can use a little Light about now.

This track is a reflection on Ray Bradbury's short story:

Machines - There Will Come Soft Rains

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)

Most of this piece was recorded in 2016 but I abandoned it until I decided to clean my computer files up recently. I added the vocals and a few horn samples to "finish" it off.
It's "sister" piece which takes the same bass loops, speeds them up and takes it all to a very different place can be listened to here:

The original spoken word sample is by "wjoojoo" and can be found here:

Rock, Rock, Rock and no Alternative …
Rock is not dead, you can validate the evidences here.
People who want to get mellow might be wrong on this site, but are more than welcome to take up some energy here 😀
I am playing guitar and Bass. Keyboards and Drums are programmed.
Mix and Mastering was done in the „N.o.b.S. Moonshine Studios“ in Mainz Germany.
Nearly everything had been recorded during the night, sometimes at daylight on weekends.
