progressive musical storytelling. again a delicate and thoughtful arrangement. never gets boring thanks to the variations and slow build-up, which i'm a fan of.  bringing in the drums at the end was an excellent addition.  BTW: you program all of your sounds or do you also play some live, for example guitar, string or maybe even percussions? obviously i can't tell from the sound, because it sounds authentic to me. meaning it's impressive either way - if you play some of them then wow, marvelous playing. on the other hand if you program them then wow, marvelous programming! respect :)

Very nice transition from one motif to the other, respect!!

you always manage to capture a range of emotions in your music and you do it so well. not only that but the production and use of sounds to convey such emotions is top tier. truly incredible.

THE ENDLESS ROAD

As if I would stay on the sidelines
As if the whole world was passing by
Would I could I ever be myself
Would I could I be understood
I knew so much and wanted you to know
I judged, hurt, left people behind
So many moments, days and nights all ahead
So many sunrises and missed possibilities
The days moved so slowly
The nIghts seemed eternal
All I saw was an endless road
All I could see was an endless road

Suddenly on a loud and crowded highway
All the others moving in the fast lane
Would I ever could I catch up
Would I ever could I ever
Everything to learn more and more unknown 
Mistakes made that can’t be undone
Turns missed and roads not taken
Faster by the moment orange cones in my way
Every day ending in a rush
Every night passing in a flash
Show me the way
There must be a way 
Show me the way off this endless road

A pain or two I expect nothing less
Nothing’s changed I’m still a child
Would I could I live my lessons learned
Will it all go to waste
Was it all for nothing
I wish I saw an endless road
I wish I saw an endless road
I wish I could see
I  wish I could see an endless road

Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

Art Expressed in Music – Hokusai's Immortality
November 2023
Duration: 2:40

Painting: The Inume Pass in Kai Province from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji 
Katsushika Hokusa.(1760 –1849), known simply as Hokusai, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, active as a painter and printmaker. He is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes the iconic print The Great Wave of Kanagawa,  In addition to his woodblock ukiyo-e prints, Hokusai worked in a variety of mediums including painting and book illustration. Starting as a young child, he continued working and improving his style until his death, at 88. In a long and successful career, Hokusai produced over 30,000 paintings, sketches, woodblock prints, and images for picture books in total. Innovative in his compositions and exceptional in his drawing technique, Hokusai is considered one of the greatest masters in the history of art.  At the age of seventy-five Hokusai defiantly referred to himself as ‘the old man mad about painting” as he railed against his mortality by declaring that he would live past 100 years and in so doing, achieve artistic immortality. “From the age of six I had a penchant for copying the forms of things, and from about fifty, my pictures were frequently published; but until the age of seventy, nothing that I drew was worthy of notice. At seventy-three years, I was somewhat able to fathom the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects, and fish. Thus when I reach eighty years, I hope to have made increasing progress, and at ninety to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at one hundred years I will have achieved a divine state in my art, and at one hundred and ten, every dot and every stroke will be as though alive.” Told by Gakyo Rojin Manji (Old Man Mad About Painting).

Strange Goins On

Enticement

(I’m A) Movin’ On

I best be a'movin’ on
I got to go
I’ve outstayed my welcome honey
Your mother knows I got wild oats to sow
I’ll take my queue
I’ll burden no more
I’ll take their hints
It’s time to roll
So long
I’m a'movin’ on
I’m a'movin’ on

There ain’t no point in complaining
About the evil eyes set on me
Holes are burning
As they envision me in effigy
I wish I could stay babe
But nothing ‘bout this that’s okay
I should be a'headin’ out
Gettin’ on my way
I got’s t'be movin’ on
I got’s t'be movin’ on

Who hosts an evening
Disguised inquiry
Posing questions curiously
Waiting baited for missteps by me
Wanting nothing
‘Cept to spill duplicity
They want to believe
But refuse to see
I can’t be a’stayin’
I must be a'movin’ on
I must be a'movin’ on

I got out
Got pulled back in
The moment I protest
They welcome me as kin
I let my guard down
They lick their lips
I love you sweetheart
But this boys back got
Ain’t no more to give to the whip
It’s time to trip
I must be a'movin’ on

I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
