Feels a bit like waking up to your own heartbeat in the morning. Nice field recording details. :)

Great singing voice, David; gentle and inviting. Beautiful surreal musical world. :)

sehr schön relaxed und auch seer schön Slowdive Style:-)

Listening to your music, things are never as they seem due to the creativity of the production and the handling of sonics. Impressive mix....

Another great song to end a wonderful album. I do think you really did something here. Will listen to the rest of your work and follow you closely. Thanks so much for your art!

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 22nd April: from midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch322

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Further out to Sea

This is the opening tune of the Mediterrâneo piece. Sadly, it remains quite actual. Here I sing with my brother Pedro.

*** Lágrimas na Chuva ***

Choram nos peitos sem leite as bocas dos condenados.
Nascidos num mundo errado, eles nem entram na corrida.
Eles passam timidamente, sem malícia e sem pecado.
Definham discretamente, sem arauto e sem alarde,
e morrem sem ser notados, como lágrimas na chuva.

Lágrimas Na Chuva

Sometimes a timeout is necessary, to pause, regroup, and refresh if only for a few minutes. Put up a Do Not Disturb sign. Open a window and let a pleasant distraction offered by songbirds calm the mind. Then resume forward march when ready. Hopefully, time is on your side. If not, seize a moment when you can. 💙

EDIT 2025-07-16: I am very happy to announce that thanks to this piece I won first place in this competition! 😍🥂🥳

EDIT 2025-07-07: I reuploaded track because I've messed a little in "original" part. Now "my part" is much more different from the original

No AI was involved in creation of this track.

Track made for Spitfire LABS Discord competition.

At the beginning (up to 0:18) and at the end (from 2:23) – a short fragment of the theme song for the AppleTV+ series "Severance" by Theodore Shapiro which can be heard in its entirety at the link below. I highly recommend it! The opening credits of this series, as well as the entire series, are worth seeing.

Yes, I know, I've bite off more than I can chew, but whatever... I guess it's worth tackling such a great and catchy musical theme ;)

The idea was to "Write a short piece (1-2 mins) that starts with a recognizable melody in it’s original form, and then take that melody and reinvent it in your own style. Use one or more of the first 10 LABS packs that were released for this, but feel free to incorporate any other tools you’d like."

To made this track I used:
Ableton Live 11 Standard
Spitfire LABS Libraries:
(Original Theme)
Soft Piano
(Reimagined Theme)
Amplified Chello Quartet
Strings
Electric Piano
Intimate Piano
Lap Steel
Wurli
Beside LABS I used:
Strezov Diamond Jazz Trio Freebie
and two MIDI loops (both from Ableton Live packs)
Gravity Werks Kit - 105 bpm and
Shaker Chance 126 bpm

When I Was Drunk

Psycho Modern - 2 months (feat. Cristina Hart)

The Rhyhtm Of Spring

I Wake Up

And just the first step is hard
In the spotlight
It shows a brave heart 
And reveals aims outright

You’re laughing now
Remembering how
You believed
In a wise experience
Of others, lost years

The sun fell down
Absorbed by a fierce clown
The sun fell down

Come close 
They'll tell you the secret
Of the Universe
And a uniform life
But no story's alike

You give or you lend
It's always a question
In the end

The sun fell down
Absorbed by a fierce clown
The sun fell down

The Fierce Clown

Fresh On The Net is a music blog hosted by Tom Robinson and Team Freshnet, offering independent artists an open door and a level playing field for their music. Our inbox is open at http://freshonthenet.co.uk every Monday to Thursday morning - if you share a track with us there it will be heard by every member of our moderation team.

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.
