Inner voyage

Inner Voyage

Is there really hope? Is the human mind so developed that we can feel and give support, empathy, help and hope to everyone around us? Why then, do we build walls? And how tall do they need to be, to separate us.....from..... each other?

And why do some countries build mental walls between the sexes of their own people, declaring one gender (read women) far less valuable than the other? Or castes, from so-called high-born to insignificant, despite belonging to the same people. Why is one crow worth more than all other crows?

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man -  Peter, Oddrun & Seagull

A positive and hopeful track that I build around a nice little piano idea. I recorded some live acoustic guitars to add more energy and liveliness to the piece.

Full Of Confidence

Into The Forbidden Forest

A rethinking of J.S. Bach's Sinfonia 11 in g minor so far afield that I even have trouble recognizing how I got here from there.  But over time this is where I landed.  If you are interested here is a link to the original piece: https://youtu.be/ZTSThtTC454?si=udxGUMox1Pzxs5pR

Immeasurable thanks to David Dunham for his help in mastering my piano 
tracks. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to his guitar music @david-dunhamuser589535203

Keepsake

This track is a sonic journey evoking intense nostalgia and a burning desire. The dramatic piano, accompanied by ethereal vocals, creates a haunting atmosphere that feels suspended in time. Each note and melody reflects a deep longing, an insatiable yearning to reach something distant and unattainable. It's a musical experience that touches the soul, transporting us to a world of deep, unexplored emotions.

Sehnsucht (vocals by Dawn Walters)

The Lord bless you and keep you,
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
The Lord protect and guide you,
And give you peace, and give you peace.

I worked on this theme a few years ago, but imagining and producing a different result and atmosphere (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/the-statue-removal). Today things have changed a bit, and going back to that music I thought it was necessary to eliminate the final vocalisms (too cheerful) and make the atmosphere darker.

On 23 October 1956 two hundred thousand Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest to express solidarity with the Poles and their recent political changes. Among the things they demanded was the removal of the statue of Stalin, erected in Városliget, the city's main park.
The revolutionaries demolished the statue, leaving only its boots, on which they planted a Hungarian flag.
On the following events, which are well known, there is no need to return here.

The statue's removal (final draft) **

A follow-up song to "From the Emerald Isle" (also on my SoundCloud page), "No One Really Knows" tells the story of Robert Farrell (an ancestor of mine), who after arriving in North America and settling in Pennsylvania, gave up his tailoring business and family in order to seek his fortune in the Gold Rush of 1849.  Long story short, his family never heard from him again after he left Leavenworth, Kansas.  For a long time, his wife and daughter waited for a return that never happened and many years later, no one in the family knows what happened. 

Lyrics are not a part of the recording but are included below.

Lyrics:
No one really knows what happened,
On that day in Kansas, when he disappeared.
Sold his shop in Pennsylvania, and
Left the family he'd lived with for over seven years.

Letters came home as he journeyed,
Telling friends and loved ones, he was doing fine.
Chasing, gold and chasing treasures,
As he traveled searching for the perfect mine.

But past Leavenworth, he simply disappeared,
Without a trace, without a word,
His family hoped and prayed that he would make it home one day,
But nothing else was ever heard, not a single word.

There were never any answers,
Just a thousand questions, no open cases closed,
Did he lose his life for gold, or start another family?
No one really knows, no one really knows...

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.
