The bike was a really short track I made a long, long time ago

The Bike (short track) 11/09/2009

I have a cassette tape from 1977 which Texas born Doug McCourtney sang an original song he had written, I was able to extract his vocals and my backing vocal and provide new music arrangement with his vocals added. It was an honor to create this in memory of Doug. Gone but not forgotten. He was a true talent.

Time does not stand still

This is an old traditional Malagasy song,
we did for you 

Kitana on vocals 
Rina on piano

Mifankatiava ihany
Raha mbola velona aina
Tsy misy toy izany ny mampifaly saina

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina re

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina

Koa raha tsy fotoana ela
No hipetrahana eto
Andeha re
Andeha re mba hifamela
Andeha hifamela mba tsy harahin-tsento
Mba tsy harahin-tsento
Andeha re(Andeha re)
Mba hifamela
Mba tsy arahin-tsento

tranlation:
Let’s love one another
While we are still alive
There’s nothing more joyful than that for the soul

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

So if our time here
Is not for long
Let us go
Let us go and forgive each other
Let us forgive, so no sorrow remains
So no sorrow remains
Let us go (Let us go)
To forgive
So sorrow won’t follow

The Way of the Unicorn *

A love song set in a collapsing universe (Ain't they all?)

Lyrics:
The beautiful patina that you've left upon my life
You found me at my worst
But still, you became my wife
All the colors of our world
It's the vision in my heart
You see through alchemy of my disguises
And my restless anesthetizing

I've been dreaming in third person
Sun Ra is my cameraman
I've been contemplating the world
It gets darker as it worsens

I've been hallucinating in first-person
Narratives
I need your love
It's all I can give
While these nighttime stars are elapsing
Until the universe collapses
I need your love
Until the universe collapses...

(universe collapses with the recorded sounds of slaughtered dying whales, objects tearing, and chemicals dissolving)

HYPNOTIC SPINNING WHEEL

I'm 50 years old. Live in Poznan Poland, I started my musical passion when I was 4 years old. My first instrument was a Casio CTK360, then there were Yamaha instruments. PSR 510, DJX1, Over time I started creating on the computer. This continues to this day. Currently working with DAW FL Studio. I also have a Roland System 8, a Behringer Deepmind 6 and a Behringer Crave synthesizer. I composes various music. From POP through Dance, as well as Electronic music. I draw inspiration from all kinds of music, although I must admit that I draw inspiration from electronic music the most. My favorite artists are: Schiller, JMJ, Vangelis, but also Mobi, Apollo 440, of course Depeche Mode and Camuflage. I believe that my music will be well received by listeners, for which I thank you very much in advance. Regards, SjE
