Fabulous. Super sound and build. I will return when I have more time to listen to the complete album.

I like the distant voice-like sounds playing around in the background of the intro. Glad I had the headphones on, to really be able to catch that subtlety. :)

You have a great singing voice, David. And the vocal mix is big and airy. Lovely and evocative song.

Caesura

Lyrics: 

Staring at today's headlines
in an empty compartment
warning tape and a lost bag
a cold wind in downtown

I'm walking
I'm walking

I keep walking
I keep walking

I know it won't come back
step out and deal with that
a different normality
the keys stay in the keyhole

I'm walking
I'm walking

I keep walking
I keep walking

Warning Tape And A Lost Bag

Before It Hits The Ground

Lyrics:
Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma
After the service, when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell and touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream
A place to stay, enough to eat
Somewhere, old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud about your doubts and fears
And what's more, no one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore
Night after night, going 'round and 'round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed

The Gunner's Dream (Pink Floyd Cover)

The Garden of Transformation

The Garden of Transformation & Video Link

Although quite simple to record, it took me a few weeks to write down a text and sing it over this beautiful guitar piece from Neno J. I used the original title as an inspiration for the text.

Circle of Circles 

Planets move in the dome of stars in surprising ways.
Sometimes forward, sometimes backward  in the celestial orb.

Since perfect circles are the only way of gods,
Ptolemy used circles within circles 
to explain those planetary retrogressions.
That was such a powerful idea 
that Fourier would later use.
Indeed, any periodic smooth motion
can be described by a large enough set of epicycles.

And yet, it all became history, 
thanks to Copernic, Kepler and Newton.
The epicycles were cast out from heaven
by the Occam's razor curse.
And I'm trying to learn the sobering lesson:
Everything gets simpler 
when we don't place ourselves in the center.

Your perfect circles, woman, are the chosen shape of gods.
But will the Fast Fourier Transform ever explain your beauty?

I watch you move in this world of scars in surprising ways.
But what is forward and what is backward in this oblivious maze?

Rust & Bones – Fetchflix TV Series – Professor Peter Plum

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/rust-bones-new-tv-series-1

Professor Peter Plum pretends to have a PhD in archeology from the University of OxDodge in Detroit. He worked few months at the Ashmolean Museum in OxFord before being fired for having his diploma forged from an unreal University. He was then employed by Boneman & Sacks Relic Asset Management Inc. as a relic expert to validate the truthfulness of the new artefacts and provide official artefact certificates. With the right incentive, Professor Plum could probably fabricate anything old and holly. The more he would fabricate and validate, the more money he would earn such that he could acquire an historical palace in Portugal to please his lovely wife named Plummy. One day he had the extravagant idea to have his wife, Plummy Plum, immortalized as a bronze sculpture well in view in his garden. The voluptuous body of his wife made a bold effect in his garden and a scandal in his neighborhood. Now that Dick Boneman revealed the fraud, Professor Peter Plum is at stakes and risk losing everything including his wife should there be a deep dive investigation on Boneman & Sacks business practices. Peter and Plummy are deeply in love and one could understand that Peter would be ready to do anything to protect his marriage.

Tell me that I'm always on your mind
I get the feeling I've been left behind
The ending wasn't spelled out in the leaves
Another chance to stitch slack memory
I warned you
I told you
I warned you
I told you
I'm the one that never gets it right
I'm the one that always starts the fight
I'm the one that ripped it from the ground
Threw it in to watch it ripple it out
You're the one who pushed me through the door
You're the one who brought me back to shore
You're the one who taught this how to grow
It time to lift it up to let it go

Live in the Studio

The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.
