I'm really into ambient sound techniques at the moment, and this is my first foray into creating an ambient track. I love the way the violin melody crashes the party half way through, sort of lends it a playful gypsy-like vibe.

First Contact

Words and music by The Pipes of C (Markus Eronen and Konstantin Todorov) (2013)

Picture: Some trees at Potsdamer Platz, Berlin

*

All alone comes a wave inside
twisting the soul
i'm drinking alone
singing a song at the rain that is growing
singing it backwards rolling it backwards in time

all the same action
all same reactions
all the old faces watching me now
when singing this song we were getting it on 
now i'm singing it slipping
a balancing act in the storm

where did we fight for the city
where did we drink
where did we sing
we couldn't wait for the love and the marvelous sins  

When you go fight for a city
when you go drink
when you go sing
you do not wait for the right moments to come
you do not wait 
for the victory 
when i'll be by your side

Caught in the thick noise
we looked at the moon
we stood at the crossroads
and we made a choice
we couldn't wait for the love and the marvelous sins  

When you go fight for a city
when you go drink
when you go sing
you do not wait for the right moments to come
i cannot wait 
for the moment
you come crawling back to me

When You Go Fight for a City

Based on the original instrumental 'Bluestronic' by Kelvyn Taylor https://soundcloud.com/kelvynt/blooz-1
Kelvyn kindly allowed me to take his original acoustic guitar piece  and make it into the something else that I was hearing (with my one good ear). Assembling a grand cast of Soundcloud musicians, all fantastic in their own right, each one helped to shape the final collage. The turnaround for this was astoundingly rapid. Ah, the beauty of Soundcloud. Please give  them all a listen and a follow.

GUIDES - words by Tanisha Jackland

We channel them by wading
In the waters of sleep

Until they discover us in those depths,
out from opacity,
doused in heavy scent of lucid hopes.
Steering us away from the shallows of docile minds
and fractured egos

They command this realm of slumber,
whispering as gentle as the
moon’s waft voice, routes to
more suitable  lives

They meet us in corners of
spatial thought, then
purge the shadows that anchor us
while kissing our most embedded secrets

They will unite us
One dream at a time

GUIDES - Kelvyn Taylor Gang Feat. Tanisha Jackland, Marty Lucas, Barry Snaith, David Augustin & Zeba

This is it! Noise Tales go East with a snappy chanson about the miracles of advertising. Somehow, it's a retrospect of all what happened in their everyday's life then and maybe it becomes an outlook for the up and coming.    
At least it is the final piece of the first album soon available and with it, the grande finale of 10 years musicianship.

Lyrics
====================

We know how to get
the buyers in your store.
You need to promote yourself
like a band in '64.
Even if you think you've done
a lot to advertize
there might be some ways to tout
you haven't realized.

Dawai, dawai!!
A bag of vodka, 
just in time.
Dawai Crimex!
Since '99.

An' if it takes some weary trips 
to places in the East,
we have always found the stuff
to meet new buyers' needs.
Even if you think,
your client's satisfied,
please let us convince you there's way more for them to buy.

Caesar 
Richard 
Ida 
Martha 
Emil 
Xena

A bag of vodka, 
just in time.
Dawai Crimex!
Since '99.

Hi Guys:), another track with the cello inspired by the artwork from Banksy. I love his works and when I saw this picture for the first time, I imagined how it would be if one would follow the balloon. If you're unfamiliar with his works, than have a look, its worthwhile:)

Hope you enjoy:)!

some people

Bryan (aka Pall of a Past World) aproached me and asked me to cover one of his songs. He asked me to pick one and I'd always liked this one so I picked this one! He plays it really nice - fast and cool and so, as much as I liked that, I thought I'd try something new.

Well a big thanks to him for setting the seed in my head and also a big thanks to Christina for helping out with the backing vocals which, for me, make it!
