Very nice performance! Nice to hear how this piece of Piazzola evokes so much creativity among musicians including myself.

An outstanding collaboration by two highly gifted musicians and composers. Just sublime expression by both of you.

Suspended moment listening to this magnificent piece Congrats to all of you!

Thank you Peter, Debra, and Arne for this moment to ponder "Life's Silhouette" together but from different vantage points. 

Silhouette

Like the fjord, edging my eye
Material reward can pass me by.
Ice to sea, slowly but sure,
Floating free, flowing pure.
Whispered smile, bears no regret,
Ponder a while, on life’s silhouette.

Solace of breeze, whiffles my hair.
All at ease, by waters fair.
Mirrored of cloud, sparkled of sun,
Where two is a crowd, I’ve a table for one.
Nature’s fine art, devoid of defect,
Embraces my heart, through life’s silhouette.

Treasured time, in mind’s recall.
Love sublime, in its rise and fall.
Flickered glints from glistened waves
Fall distinct, and light the way.
As morning rays shall yet reflect,
Of peaceful days in life’s silhouette.

Silhouette.  Debra Buesking. 1234567890. Oddrun Eikli.

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Me - Vocals and lyrics

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

Moments Of Stress - Continental Collision (by Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett) on Spotify now

'One More Breath' is a Jazz Fusion track inspired by the practice of breathing exercises. Chi-gung, meditation etc. When one arrives at their limit, can one relax and add "One More Breath". Through weeks, months and years of practice, one slowly improves and progress is made. So then "One More Breath" is the inspiration in all activities, to not give up at "the final hurdle".

This is a teaser for my upcoming first vocal song which will be published on December 6, 2024. Yeah, finally I will do lyrics:-)
The inspiration for this came last when I was shopping for our New Years Party - as always on the last day and as always all the people in Vienna had the same idea. As I stood in the queue, I imagined how things could escalate if would let my anger loose. Just hypothetically, of course. Hope, you enjoy the result and will listen into the vocal version on Dec 6.
Compositionwise, the track has a boogie structure with the left hand chromatically going up and an octavating thumb like in c0-c1-d0-c1-es0-c1-g0-c1. The right hand strongly uses syncopes to instill the rhythm onto the track. Slight variations in the rhythm keep the tension like, e.g. comparing the very beginning with 0:45 ff.  The track is mostly being in the modes I, IV and V (C, F, G). 
Over time, the mood of the piece changes from relaxed and happy to ever more tense with a final relieve at the end. 

The track has been recorded via a pianoTeq Steinway (no after-effects). Cover with Dallee

Making My Way

This track was inspired by the notion of AI becoming conscious. I can't imagine this will happen anytime soon... Having said that, our attempts to understand consciousness in animals suggests that there might be a tipping point, where it simply happens and takes humans by surprise. 
The guitar parts where played on a Fender Telecaster with Texas pickups. 

Interface

This heavenly instrumental (open collab) made by Remnant60 was a one-take accoustic track... Was it improvisation or the whisper of an angel?, certainly it was celestial... 
  
So i wanted to greet a top-woman, with one off the best known prayers: "Ave Maria".

Lyrics

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Ave, Ave, Dominus, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus, Et benedictus fructus ventris (tui), Ventris tui, Jesus. Ave Maria!

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Ora, ora pro nobis;
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis,
In hora mortis nostrae.
In hora, hora mortis nostrae,
In hora mortis nostrae.
Ave Maria!

Somewhere not Here

"The Last Breath of Us" is a melancholic and cinematic ballad. Carried by a fragile piano, deep strings, and a trembling voice, it evokes the irretrievable loss of love and the desire to abandon the world after this absence. The song oscillates between intimate sweetness and dramatic intensity, like a minimalist requiem. The atmosphere is at once hypnotic, vulnerable, and tragically beautiful.

La chanson oscille entre douceur intime et intensité dramatique, tel un requiem minimaliste. L'atmosphère est à la fois hypnotique, vulnérable et tragiquement belle.

„The Last Breath of Us“ ist eine melancholische und filmische Ballade. Getragen von einem fragilen Klavier, tiefen Streichern und einer zitternden Stimme beschwört es den unwiederbringlichen Verlust der Liebe und den Wunsch, die Welt nach dieser Abwesenheit zu verlassen. Das Lied oszilliert zwischen inniger Süße und dramatischer Intensität, wie ein minimalistisches Requiem. Die Atmosphäre ist hypnotisch, verletzlich und tragisch schön zugleich.

The Last Breath of Us

09/10/2025 Back from time away from soundcloud.  It's good to be back listening to friends and new soundclouder tracks.  As I immerse myself in music, Sony MDR-7506s on, fan blowing on me, barefoot, not even tired at 4:41am in the morning,  I can almost imagine a future that might be alright!  Music gives me hope. So let's rock on!!!!

Hi! Thank you so very much for visiting my soundcloud page and for supporting my little songs with your likes and amazing comments.  I am so grateful for your time.  If you have decided to follow me, all I have to say is that I am honored! Thank you!  I have posted some tracks, mostly from my first album soon to be released. 

I write, sing, play piano/keys, arrange, produce, and can perform live all of my own songs. I work with real players both live and remotely. What I do and the way I do it takes time, effort, and money. I don't use any A.I. to write my songs, arrange, do vocals, or anything else. Some A.I. company recently claimed that people don't enjoy creating music because of the time and effort it takes to practice and learn etc...and I believe this to be somewhat misguided. I love practicing, learning, listening to the greats, and working on my music. Furthermore, I can't see the point in having software do the creating for me. What would be the point?
