Pawel Strzelecki: String Quartet No. 20 "No End" (2024), 20 ca.

This little keyboard melody was done hover an improvisation with some bowls I recorded few months ago. I like the textures they provide.  Since then, I got my own bowls and I started to play with.

Rencontre

Music and Production by Oystein Q. Jorgensen
Poem and spoken words by Shane Beck

"Echoes In A Dark Corridor"

Breathless visions within the inner sanctum
Haunted apparitions wandering the disturbed mind
Steady the hand  that grips the chalice & holds the blade
Echoes in A Dark Corridor, this is where chaos was made

Obscene shadows flickering like a dying  flame
Prepare the circle of invoking, call forth my secret name
Disguised in layers of darkness, we beckon to thee
Echoes In A Dark Corridor, the voice you now hear is me


Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

Moonphase - Echoes In A Dark Corridor

This song I wrote during the pandemic around 2021, we were all quarentined in our homes and I thought to myself and hoped that in a few years all of this madness will be regulated to the Cobwebs Of Time but somehow it's still fresh in my mind. Anyway, after celebrating the New Year sometime in January of this year, I produced the video for it and I thought it complimented the song fairly well. My singing is atrocious as usual, I wish I had one of those A.I. virtual singers to sing my songs, I do believe my vocals are the weak link in my songs. The song sounds very eerie in the beginning as we travel through the recent cobwebs of uncertainty but then it resolves into a little Doo-Wop medley with the vocals modulating up a semi-tone every other line, believe me with my vocal inadequacies that was no easy task! I like this song a lot and I hope y'all do to. I worked very hard on the video too! OK let's take a trip back through the Cobwebs Of Time! 🙏😎✌🏼

“COBWEBS OF TIME”

THE NEW YEAR'S HERE BUT IT'S ALL THE SAME,
THE SHOW GOES ON BUT THE DOUBT REMAINS,
THE YEARS THEY CHANGE ONLY IN NAME,  
      
WE CELEBRATE A NEW BEGINNING,
BUT WE'RE STILL STUCK IN THE FINAL INNING, 
THERE'S ONLY ONE THAT RETAINS HIS GRINNING, 

COBWEBS AND WINE,
MASKS WHILE WE DINE,
OH HOW THAT BITTER MOON SHINES,  
ALTHOUGH SATURN AND JUPITER MAY ALIGN,
MOST OF US ARE LEFT STRANDED BEHIND,
IN THE COBWEBS OF TIME,
     
REMEMBER THE TOUCH OF YOUR FELLOW MAN?
THE COMFORT IN HIS HELPING HAND, 
NOW IT'S GONE WITH THE WIND, SWEPT UP WITH THE SAND,
  
EVERY FILM BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE,
WHEN A KISS DIDN'T MEAN YOU COULD DIE,       
WHEN OUR LIFE DIDN'T RIDE ON A WHISPERED GOODBYE,
      
COBWEBS AND WINE,
MASKS WHILE WE DINE,
OH HOW THAT BITTER MOON SHINES,  
ALTHOUGH SATURN AND JUPITER MAY ALIGN,
MOST OF US ARE LEFT STRANDED BEHIND,
IN THE COBWEBS OF TIME,  
            
OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME,
WHILE THE OCEAN TIDES, STILL FLOW AND EBB, 
WE REMAIN HERE AMONG THE COBWEBS, 
OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME, OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME,
OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME, OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME,
OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME, OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME,
OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME, OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME,
OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME, OOH-OOH COBWEBS OF TIME.

Again & Again (new Edit)

We're happy to announce that we have a new song ready to show the world. This one is more in the melodic techno style, spooky yet uplifting.

We were joined on this version by the talented synth player Bruce Parsons. Here is his soundcloud page: @blankreg
Bruce added around 7 additional parts to the beginning part of the song. We think it turned out lovely, very nice job, Bruce! Thanks for joining us!

"Sonder - (neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone has a life as complex as one's own."

The second movement of the String Quartet No. 20 "Until the End" (2024).

Pawel Strzelecki: 2. Slow [String Quartet No. 20 "No End" (2024)].

“You Want It Darker” is solemn and chilling from the moment the song starts, the sound of a choir and organ contrast against a grooving electric bass line, carrying the same gravitas as David Bowie’s posthumous release, Blackstar. Cohen delivers haunting lyrics in his raspy baritone, talking yet almost singing, singing yet almost talking, in his trademark performance style.
Though “You Want It Darker” is a somber tune, it effectively tackles an enormous moral and philosophic dilemma without being presumptuous, a feat that only a master such as Leonard Cohen could manage. "             Medium
