Description: Floating

The paradox is that the “meaning of life” isn’t something you find once and keep forever — it’s something that renews itself each time you’re fully present in what you do, love, or create.

Many people chase a permanent answer, a single truth that explains everything.
But meaning doesn’t work that way — it’s more like breath or heartbeat: it’s alive only when it’s happening.

Every time you’re truly here — playing music, sharing kindness, breathing deeply, or just sitting in silence feeling your own existence — life has meaning in that exact moment.
Not because you found it, but because you’re living it.

The more we chase a fixed sense of purpose, the more it slips away.
But when we simply are — in love, in creation, in presence — the meaning naturally appears, quietly, like light through an open window.

In Search of Purpose – Vocals by Blackbird

Ideal voices and much beloved
Of those who died, of those who are
Now lost for us like the very dead;
Sometimes within a dream they speak
Or in the ticking brain a thought revives them.

I am thinking back to the time when for the four of us, the known world hardly existed; days became simply the spaces between dreams, spaces between the shifting floors of time, of acting, of living out the topical… a tide of meaningless affairs nosing along the dead level of things, entering no climate, leading us nowhere, demanding of us nothing save the impossible— that we should be. 

Justine would say that we had been trapped in the projection of a will too powerful and too deliberate to be human— the gravitational field which Alexandria threw down about those it had chosen...

Justine In Alexandria

Long time no see. Since I decided to make a career move, things have been too  hectic(^_^;
Now that I settled down in new workplace, I began to record one-man band again!
I wrote this song for my own band, and played sometimes in venues.
I completed the song here for SC.
Bass solo is always challenging for me, but I enjoyed very much(^_^)

I've been working on this instrumental since March. You can see me practicing an earlier (and slightly faster) version here on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/reel/DHbWh7HNPEw/

If you enjoy this track, I'd really appreciate a follow on Spotify:

This piece is about how life is like the ocean...Sometimes it’s calm and clear… other times, wild and unpredictable. You can’t fight the waves, but you can learn to ride them. Thanks for listening and sharing 🙏

Waves (solo guitar)

Daddy worked the mines till his body gave out,
Coal dust clouded his mind with doubt,
He told me, "One day, son, you’ll rise out these hills—
Stay away from the dope, whiskey and pills."

This world’s got a way of tearing folks down,
Keep faith in god, and you'll always stand solid and sound.
Keep walking the line, don’t cheat and don’t steal—
Head up and work, and don’t dull your senses feel what you feel.

I've tried I swear, but it’s been a rough cross to bear,
There’s a weight in this life making it hard to care, 
I hear your voice in my head and it gives me strength through the chills—
Stay away from the dope, whiskey and pills."


Your name is as good as your word you keep, 
Mending burnt bridges take time and hard work you can't cheat
Wounds will heal, sometimes in takes silence and  years—
Walk the line and work hard, and don’t give in to fears.

I stumbled, I’ve slipped, I can still hear your voice,
In a world full of  temptation, Ill make my choice.
I hold your lessons through struggle and still—
Steady staying away from the dope, whiskey and pills."

Ode to Red

First track from "Cathedral of Ecstatic Sounds", a set of collab with Damga.

Cathedral of Ecstatic Sounds I - Hypnotic Maze of Music

This is the first in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short and inconclusive tracks, which I’ve assembled by working on new and reworking on some old material adding parts and sounds. 
Will anything actually happen in the end? Unlikely. Definitely not here. Here it’s a montage of bare arpeggios in various keys.
I recorded this some weeks ago: sorry about the guitar sound, the string squeak is a bit too much; now, I hope to have fixed that investing in a better and more expensive set of strings.

In case nothing happens - part 1 (night)*

Sitting alone at night around a remote campfire in the Bieszczady Mountains, a fascinating area with free-roaming wolves and bears, you feel much more at ease when you can hear a group of horses grazing behind you and enjoy the peace and coolness of the night after a hot day spent carrying riders on long journeys over hills, fields, and meadows.

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
