Inspired by a  recent hot air balloon journey, with a gentle and relaxing guitar solo over cascading arpeggios, Lullaby of Whispers takes you on a journey floating above a peaceful landscape of your imagination.

I created this track by improvising on a Gibson SG over three variations of a drum pattern. I produced the drums using custom sounds I made on the AKAI MPC Live and the Teenage Engineering PO-32. I also played the bass part on a Sire J7—my marvelous fretless bass.

River Cat captures the joy of riding on the City Cat ferry on a sunny day, with the use of mellow seventh chords. The harmony and melodic direction often changes, like the winding Brisbane River where things look similar but different at the same time. The coda has the ferry arriving at its destination, with extra exuberance in a resolutely ‘groove’ moment. Sheet music at https://www.australiancomposers.com.au/search?q=rachel+hocking

Silene

This song was composed in memory of my little girl, who passed away a year ago. It's a tribute filled with love and nostalgia, a musical offering that seeks to embrace her memory. The melody is built on soft melodic pianos and enveloping guitars, accompanied by harmonious synthesizers that create an ethereal atmosphere. The sounds of the sea and the songs of sirens emerge like echoes of the soul, representing a bridge between this world and hers. Each note is a caress, each chord a tear turned into light. It's a farewell that refuses to relent, a whisper to heaven that says, "You'll always be with me."

📝 Description

"Tango in the Rain" sweeps you into a world where every drop of water becomes a heartbeat and every note a whispered promise. Picture a cobblestone street drenched under a silver glow, footsteps echoing as violin and piano entwine in a passionate embrace. The sultry melody of the violin weeps with longing, while the cello’s warm timbre pulses like a lover’s steady breath. The piano’s chords glisten — each keystroke a raindrop dancing on your skin.

As the storm intensifies, the quartet’s rhythm tightens: viola strokes snap like lightning, and the cello’s low-register whispers anchor you in a moment of shared vulnerability. The interplay of solo lines and lush harmonies evokes a stolen midnight rendezvous, drenched in longing and defiance. You can almost feel the dancers’ wet shoes sliding across the pavement, their bodies in perfect tension, surrendering to the music’s electric current.

Here, sorrow and joy swirl together, creating a tapestry of desire that is at once urgent and tender. "Tango in the Rain" isn’t just a piece — it’s an invitation to lose yourself in a torrential romance that refuses to let go.

🎼 Key: d-moll | Time Signature: 4/4 | Tempo: Varies bpm

The Scent of Summer’s End

Nostalgie... 4 heures du matin... ambiance fumée alcool...
Tu n'es pas là !


REMEMBER
( Christian Bettini - Alban Bouquette )
 Remember
Les vieux plans des pianos à bretelles
Remember
Java bleue la java la plus belle
Banquette en skaï
Le barman qui baille
Entre un whisky à l'eau
et un martini dry
Remember you, remember me
Today remember nous

Remember
Bécassine au caravansérail
A l'oeuillade assassine
Au vernis qui s'écaille 
Fard à paupières
Sur le mur du vestiaire
La réclame pour le gin
Et pour le picon-bière
Remember you, remember me
Today remember nous
Mon amour aujourd'hui
Oh you remember me

Remember 
Pinnocchio dans la tour de Babel
Entr' le dernier tango
Et le premier Distel
Fin du morceau
Le chanteur est faux
Entr'un guignolet-kirsch
Et un rhum-curaçao
Remember me, remember you
Today remember nous
Mon amour aujourd'hui
Oh you remember me

Remember
Cendrillon dans le bal des vampires
Serpentins, cotillons
Et batteur qui soupire
Ennui mortel
Le saxo qui bêle
Entre un dernier bourbon
Et un cognac martell
Remember you, remember me
Today remember nous
Mon amour aujourd'hui
Oh you remember me

Remember
