New(Sound)Tracks

A New Beginning - sixth part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at IPI Music.

These three video clips depict the opening scenes of the story as a prelude / backstory. It tells the tale of our heroes (two Final War survivors in a post-apocalyptic surrounding) on their strenuous and dangerous voyage to a magical place - Regalia - The Enchanted Forest.

Arabic to English Translation:
---- Oh, Night - Oh, My Eyes 
Night passes and day arrives 
My heart desired you from its core 
If the world ends and stars disappear 
Words will not suffice to reveal my love 
---- Oh, my love - Oh, light of to my eyes 
My love above all creation 
My love everlasting, strong like fire 
I met you on a day in past times 
Your face shall still brightly shine 
Everlasting love and kindness 
---- Oh, my love - Oh, light to my eyes 
Love that lasts, lasts and lasts 
Do you see me, do you want me? 
Tenderness in your face, life in your soul 
Lighting up my world, lighting up life 
(A story like no other, a story without an end)
---- Oh, my love  - Oh, light to my eyes 

Arranged, produced, mixed and mastered by Peter Heckmann.

A New Beginning (feat. Ethnic World Orchestra)

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Pic: edited eyefish photo taken by my other sister during one of my hard summer rehearsals.

📝 Lyrics:

All it takes is just a little faith
But no one ever taught me how to pray
I'm on my knees now god for goodness sake
Just tell me what it is I need to say

I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here
I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here

26 years on and nothings changed
you say it's because our lives got rearranged
I thought we'd fall in love or settle down
you weren't here the last time when I looked around

I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here
I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here

I'll give you everything
I'll give you every piece of me you just wait and see
You'll give me every piece of you, I'd ever want you to
I never needed you

I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here
I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here
I'd go anywhere for days like these
I'd do anything just to stay right here

This is Charnia.
Charnia is the oldest extinct  organism known to man.
We still dont know if it was a plant or animal.
What we do know is that it lived alone in the bottom of the ocean in freezing temperatures and total darkness.
Charnia died .... without ever feeling the warmth of the sun.
Art work idea by me,done by SamBuddz.

Charnia

A straightforward rocker by Jimmy Rivas and myself.
I sent Jimmy a demo of the backing track and asked if he wanted to write lyrics and add his voice, I received back this amazing vocal.
A big thanks to Jimmy for collaborating, taking the song to another level.

📝 Lyrics:

There are ghosts in every face I see
So unknowing, so unknowing
There are ghosts in every soul I meet
Imperfections, lost transgressions

When we moved away we turned pages; pages that read
Flowers bloom the same in these spaces, ageless with time

Walked with God in, in the garden here
Felt so lonely, so unholy
Corners of you, watching light pass by
Silent yearnings, often burning

When we moved away we turned pages; pages that read
Flowers bloom the same in these spaces, ageless with time

Poem: To the Bluebell
by Emily Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

Sacred watcher, wave thy bells!
Fair hill flower and woodland child!
Dear to me in deep green dells—
Dearest on the mountains wild.

Bluebell, even as all divine
I have seen my darling shine—
Bluebell, even as wan and frail
I have seen my darling fail—
Thou hast found a voice for me,
And soothing words are breathed by thee.

Thus they murmur, “Summer's sun
Warms me till my life is done.
Would I rather choose to die
Under winter's ruthless sky?

“Glad I bloom and calm I fade;
Weeping twilight dews my bed;
Mourner, mourner, dry thy tears—
Sorrow comes with lengthened years!”

To The Bluebell. Eric Dartel and Oddrun Eikli. Bass: Philippe Noharet, Drums: Alexandre Esperet

Duration: 2:55

Part of the Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/ekleltikos-triptych

Eclecticism was first reported to have been practiced by a group of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who attached themselves to no real system, but selected from existing philosophical beliefs those doctrines that seemed most reasonable to them. Out of this collected material they constructed their new system of philosophy.  The term eclecticism comes from the Greek ἐκλεκτικός (eklektikos), literally "choosing the best".  Colloquy is defined as a gathering for discussion.  

The music of "Eklektikos" brings together the instruments and rhythms of many diverse cultures to create a unique world music.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

I’ll give you a minute
Then maybe an hour
But I don’t like the look of you
Or your ivory tower
Are you a candidate?
You don’t smell of the street
The pavement don’t suit you
Trips up your feet

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

There’s rain in the forecast
There’s time in your eyes
Flags in the furlough
Waived by the wise
The church door was open
Granite and still
The boys went in
And the pigeon came out

I'll give you a minute
It won't hurt for long, oh no
I'll give you a minute

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you

I’m a lion
Free from the cage full of liars
All they gonna say is I won’t make it
I’m sorry that you feel that way
I’m a champion no I ain’t afraid to take a hit babe
Put it in my face
You can hate me
I’m sorry that you feel that way

I’m sorry that you feel that way
Like I care
Like I’m here to bring you down
Like the air that I’m breathing won’t be around
Oh I’m sorry did you feel that …
I’m sorry that you feel that way !

The winter snow arrived early and this very beautiful photo inspired me this song.
This beautiful white snow hides all the sufferings of a completely disoriented nature.

ICE RIVER

frozen river,
your wicks of silver,
dig in the snow,
looking now,
the last heat,
the last beats,
of a fiery summer,
devouring the earth ...

this beautiful white coat,
gives us false illusions,
this truth that we loathe,
which brings us back to reason
which brings us back to reason 
to reason
to reason......

Ice River

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Oídos sordos (17 negras)

It sure seems there's always malice in the palace. Either you’re in the palace causing malice or you’re trying to stop the malice. In both cases there's still malice in the palace. As subjects, we have to live with that malice, so get out and vote. And if voting doesn’t make a difference, get out there and storm the palace, but only for a cause I believe in, lol. 

I love roots reggae and am stuck in the period between '68 and '82. Don’t get me wrong, ska is great, and I lump rocksteady into my preferred period of reggae. And I am not saying I don’t appreciate later periods of reggae and dancehall. I did enjoy the 90s dancehall that often went along with golden era hip hop. But I will always like 70s roots reggae best. I must be old. 

Thanks SoundCloud friends for making roots reggae with me and helping me LARP my musical fantasies. You're all the best! May everyone live out their rock star dreams.

Trodding in this world of inequity 
People dying in the city
Kings in palaces show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
And don’t you try to quell us
Or we’ll be storming up the citadel, yes! 
You’ve got to be pure of heart and pure mind
Cause blessed are the pure in heart
So you’ve got to live clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
And in the end, the last shall be first, and the first last 
For many shall be called, but few shall be chosen
Trodding in this world of inequity 
People are dying in the city
And kings in palaces dem show no pity
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you can tell us 
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it
For him it is sin
And that is the way of the righteous
For the path may be rocky
But the conscious can remain clean
If you know what I mean
There’s malice in the palace 
And we’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s malice in the palace 
There’s malice in the palace, 
Queen Majesty let’s lick up the chalice
I wanna hear I wanna hear what you have to say
And don’t you lie to us
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel, yes!
Or we’ll be climbing the citadel 
There’s too much inequity 
So don’t you try quell
Do good things for in due season we will reap
So do not grow weary in doing good, y’all
And the fruit of the spirit is love, goodness, and peace 
And against such things there is no law
Living in the righteous way is no flaw
There’s Malice in da palace
And We’re storming the citadel
We’re storming the citadel, yes!
For many are called, but few are chosen
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
Trodding in this world of inequity 
people dying in the city
Kings in palaces dem show no pity
And we’re all going to be storming the citadel, yes!
So Queen Majesty
I wanna have a word with you and lick up da chalice
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, I wanna hear what you have to say
There’s Malice in da palace
There’s Malice in da palace
And don’t you try to quell us
There’s Malice in da palace
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life
