la vieja madre...   /   the old mother...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la tierra extraña...   /   the strange land...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...


Son tus raíces   /   Your roots are
más profundas que el tiempo.   /   deeper than time.
Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,

Signature Synchronicity


From the Mist

A little quickie. I had fun testing Spitfire Originals!: Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussions.

© & ℗ R.U.R. 2022

Be Prepared

...in the year 2023 ;)

Another quicky made with Originals Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussion. Sadly there is a bug in Epic Strings which can be heard at the beginning on 2nd and 3rd bar/tact that I couldn't avoid. I hope Spitfire resolves it and then I'll upload corrected version.

A track for imaginary game set in fantasy world.

The White Room

■概要(Overview)
じゃんけんで負けた！
さらに色々とやらかして状況は悪化してしまった。
はい、自己嫌悪。
・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。
でも大丈夫！どんどん行け、進め！
宇宙規模で考えれば大したことじゃない・・ような気がする。

I lost in rock-paper-scissors!
And the situation got worse with all sorts of other things.
Yes, self-loathing.
・・・・
It's that kind of song.
but it's okay! Keep going, keep going!
I feel like it's not a big deal if you think about it on a cosmic scale.

2023.4.1 楽器の追加を試みましたがやはり最初のバージョンで再度公開。
2023.4.1 Considered adding instruments, but finally released in the original version.


■歌詞
「どうして僕は・・」

どうにもならない
気を付けていても
くじ運悪いし　気持ちも弱いし

やりたくないのに　じゃんけん弱くて
町内会の面倒な役をやる羽目になったんだ

おまけにさ
電話番号を
教えてしまった
聞かれてないのに
責任感じて空回りする
僕はひどい奴だ

僕の居場所はないよ
愛想尽かされ　さよならさ
情けなくて消えたい
ねぇ、神様、どうして僕は・・・
(いつもこうなんだろう)


どうにも頭が
ずきずきしてきた
子供のころから　気持ちが弱いし

対人恐怖が影響している
大事なじゃんけん
見透かされていた
涙の　じゃんけんぽん

おまけにさ
電話番号を
聞かなきゃいけない
空気が漂い
迷惑気づかず　順番に聞く
僕はひどい奴だ

僕の居場所はいつも
自分で壊し　それまでさ
最初からわかってる

ねぇ、神様、どうして僕は・・・
(いつも余計な事ばかりしてしまうんだろう)


忘れたころに　「逃しはしない」と
再び僕に「烙印」を押す

いくら逃げても　隠したとしても
弱い部分が　「忘れさせない」と・・

月夜の枝垂桜が揺れている

僕の居場所はないよ
愛想尽かされ　さよならさ
情けなくて消えたい
ねぇ、神様、どうして僕は・・・
(いつもこうなんだろう)

■ lyrics(google translate)
"Why am I..."

I'm a hopeless person.
Even if I'm careful, the lottery is bad and my feelings are weak

I don't want to do it, but because I'm weak at rock-paper-scissors, I ended up playing a troublesome role for the neighborhood association.

moreover,
I gave everyone my phone number
Even though no one asked me to teach them

Feeling responsible and panicking
I'm a hopeless person

I have no place
Goodbye to being exhausted
I want to disappear without pity
Hey God, why am I...
(why is it always like this)

I can't help but have a head
I'm getting a throbbing pain

Ever since I was a child, my heart has been weak

social phobia affects
important rock paper scissors
was seen through
Rock, paper, scissors of tears

In addition
phone number
There is an air that you have to ask,
Listen in order without noticing the nuisances around you
I'm a bad person

I always destroy my own place.That's it.
I know that from the beginning

Hey God, why am I...
(I guess I always end up doing unnecessary things)

When I forgot, "I won't let you go"
brand me again

No matter how much you run away, no matter how much you hide
The weak part chases after you forever, saying "I won't let you forget"

The weeping cherry tree on a moonlit night is swaying

I have no place
Goodbye to being exhausted
I want to disappear without pity
Hey God, why am I...
(why is it always like this)

Thank You for 1000 plays ❤️

In the late 1980s, I had the opportunity to watch in the cinema Godfrey Reggio's documentary "Koyaaniquatsi" with music by Philip Glass and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and I became a fan of the soundtrack from this film.

A few months ago I was watching the third season of "Stranger Things" and suddenly, in the third episode, in the last scene, I heard familiar sounds. Without checking, I could tell I could hear Phillip's music. And so it was. My fascination was revived and I felt the urge to create something similar to his style.
Unfortunately, my creativity and time has its limits and I haven't been able to make a full song... yet ;) But I'm sharing with you an idea, or rather an introduction to this piece. I hope you like it at least a little :)

Looking Through the Glass

As the solstice sun rises on its day of greatest power, it draws up with it the power of herbs, standing stones, and crystals. In the shimmering heat-haze on the horizon, its magical energies are almost visible. And as the mist gate forms in the warm air rising beneath the dolmen arch, the entrance to the Otherworld opens – Avalon, Tir nan Og, the Land of Youth, where it is always summer, and death and old age are unknown.

Thank You very much for 1300 plays! ❤️

This is little experiment for me - a revamp of an other persons track.
About 4 months ago I came across a song by Donak RV "Duo Melodica" https://soundcloud.com/donakrv/duo-melodica. I really liked it, and since I was working on the song "You Can Count on Us", I had a free nylon guitar from @heavyocitymedia Foundations on hand. I started improvising to it... and this remix/revamp was born ;) I sent Donak RV a sample and he agreed to let me perform this "devastation" of his track ;) This version is made on the basis of an MP3 file downloaded from the author's profile. A stem version is still in development.

I hope You'll like it at least a bit :)

Donak RV - Duo Melodica (R.U.R.'s Nylon Guitar MP3 Revamp)

Oh WOW! Over 2000 plays of this very personal track. To think I was hesitant to even post it... Thank you so much! ❤️

In our lives, we are granted the opportunity to witness the departure of our loved ones. Some depart through doors, never to return, yet still exist somewhere. Others leave suddenly, unexpectedly. Yet some depart when we are somewhat prepared, for their age predisposes them to it. However, there are also departures more challenging... when we observe the tree of the mind of a beloved, from which memories' leaves fall, and even the freshest, youngest cannot hold on to it. We cannot help, we can only watch how they fall...

Composing this little piece was very personal. It was combined with the realization of a fact from my immediate surroundings. I left all imperfections of my playing because of how I felt at that moment. It wasn't an improvisation, it was an interpretation of a theme that I've developed few minutes earlier. All done on Autograph Grand from Spitfire LABS free libraries collection @spitfire-labs

This time, I return to the realm of fantasy, where my characters, upon arriving in the North, found themselves in the dwarven mines. There, they are to meet with the Dwarf King's son, who will task them with aiding in uncovering the mystery surrounding his father's death, slain in a goblin ambush. However, before this occurs, they take part in a funeral ceremony.

To craft this piece, I utilized only the free VSTi's by ProjectSAM @projectsam: Free Orchestra 1 and 2. I've begun working on it 2 months ago... It's one of my over 30 projects in development ;)

Thanks goes to my friends and test drivers: kavvka @grzegorzkawka and Alexander Stratonov @ephtrackx

PLEASE READ THIS! THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION!
I'm posting this here as a curiosity and... a sorts of warning. Artificial Intelligence has entered the sphere of music creation. And it hits with enormous power...

This is a song that my wife (she's German Language teacher) generated using Suno.ai in about 2 minutes, just giving it a prompt to generate a rock song. Its lyrics come from a really cheesy song included in a children's textbook. She just wanted the song to sound more accessible to today's kids. She didn't actually realize what this song would cause. And it left me completely shocked and actually questioning the point of further activities in music... 

My wife, by generating this song, gave the A.I. ​​a lot of scope for its own "imagination". She did not specify the structure of the song or the elements to be included in it - which can be set by entering appropriate comments in the song's text. What surprised me is how wisely the A.I. ​​approached this task, how it determined what should be included in this song. A huge surprise for me is the second part of the song, where the A.I., having no more lyrics, created something incredible, using elements such as triplet, half-time and returning when we expect the song to have ended. What's even more surprising is that the A.I. ​​understood that it was a song in German and was inspired by German-speaking bands such as Die Ärzte and used the typical German song structure, including the sound of the vocals.

Yes, I know, I do music for fun, but I still don't know what to do next... I'm thinking how it will impact the music industry? Let's talk about it in the comments and remember - let's be polite.

Below is a link to the original song, I improved it a bit, but whether it's for the better is a matter of taste:
https://app.suno.ai/song/180bb869-7d3f-47d7-86fa-8f44261ee80c/
And here is another one that left me speechless, also generated by my wife:

EDIT 23 April 2025 - I will not use any AI technology that interferes with the realm of creativity in human culture. And I will not support people who use such technology to deceive others by claiming authorship of compositions/songs/images created by generative AI.

WARNING - This is ENTIRELY A.I. generated song!!!

So... this is my first attempt at A.I. generated music. I tried this on www.udio.com. However, it is not completely created by me from scratch, but for this first time I've used it, I took a fragment of someone else's song, which stuck in my heart with its mood (I am an incurable romantic). I really regretted that it didn't have a beginning and an end, so... I generated my own. The track came out really awesome, so I've decided to share it with You. It really resonate with me... And now someone say that this A.I. generated music does not evoke emotions...

Here is the original from I've made my extension. 
https://www.udio.com/songs/qg79XfYiiHp2x8kgSyBkGa
Here is my extension on Udio, where You can see how in text field I've prompted A.I. to do what I wanted: 
https://www.udio.com/songs/smVu17fJngJTLVjdJLuUjf
And link to my alternative version which have I think really awesome ending: https://www.udio.com/songs/k6RtJUvcLzPtsNUcTUnTVi

Here is the list of songs I've found on Udio that are really great. It's worth to check out to have an idea, how good can be A.I. (guided by talented people) in music generation! 
https://www.udio.com/playlists/exHSspXpwQHSdce2rfA1QF

However, I still don't know what to do with this technology. There is no return to the state before it appeared, so we will have to live with it. But will I use it... I don't think so, at least not yet. For now I can't say its human influenced creation. Until they turn it into something like Crea or Leonardo, where a human influences every aspect of the work being created, or even gives A.I. directives on what it should look like, feeding it with your ideas, this is not the technology for me... Or maybe I don't know how to use it...

But time passes and sooner or later such technology will appear. Then we will be able to put aside our plugins and DAWs and create/generate whatever we dream of at the speed of thought  :)

PLUIE ET LUMIERE prélude

Une goutte de pluie
Une goutte de pluie
Une goutte de pluie

C’est quand tout déborde et puis s’emplit
Quand tout explose et puis se fige 
Que la rivière sort de son lit
Que cèdent les barrages établis 
Tant de non-dits
Quand vient la pluie 
Quand tout s’enfuit
Quant tout s’oublie
Tout me fuit
(Tout me fuit)  
Tout me fuit 

Quand tout se brise
Quand tout s’épuise

Une goutte de pluie
Une goutte de pluie
Ouh…



RAIN AND LIGHT prelude

A drop of rain
A drop of rain
A drop of rain

It's when everything overflows and then fills up
When everything explodes and then freezes
Let the river come out of its bed
When the established dams yield 
So many unsaid

When the rain comes
When everything runs away
When everything is forgotten

Everything is running away from me
(Everything is running away from me)
Everything is running away from me

When everything breaks
When everything runs out

A drop of rain
A drop of rain
Oh...

Pluie et Lumière -prélude (with Anastasiya Ihnatovich)

Featuring I Dreamt Again from Jeryia J.  Please enjoy.

I Dreamt Again

Battle Fields

Dark skies whisperin' thoughts in my head
Why's it always silence right before the thunder
Hollow echoes where we used to stand
Tears fallin' like the rain we both used to wonder

Shadows linger in the corners of my room
Memories drownin' in the sea of forced laughter
Eyes holdin' stories only darkness assumes
Chasin' ghosts knowin' we're fraggin' ever after

Scream in the silence break these chains
Lost in the echoes crossin' our veins
Cryin' inside where no one can see
Wishin' for freedom but never quite free

Walls closin' in with invisible force
Life's a jagged path forged in pain's fire
Half-healed wounds from the relentless course
Cravin' connections while sinkin' in the mire

Scream in the silence break these chains
Lost in the echoes crossin' our veins
Cryin' inside where no one can see
Wishin' for freedom but never quite free

Eyes meet the void when the lights fade out
Hearts poundin' fierce in a desperate bout
Holdin' together moments of weak
Brick by brick rebuildin' from the bleak

Echoes In Silence (Original Mix)

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.

I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.

---------------------------

Born in 1970. Music fan since 1985. Now heaving fun with making music. I'm self-taught, playing everything by ear. Started in 1990's but due to certain circumstances left in 1998 until April 2022. My music is created in Ableton Live 11 Intro (until december 2022) and 11 Standard with mostly free plug-ins. Fan of soundtracks (my personal heros are John Williams, Clint Mansell, Philip Glass, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and much more), world music (Dead Can Dance), chillout (Bent, Zero7, Groove Armada, St. Germain, Air, Röyksopp, Kosheen and more), trip-hop (Massive Attack, Portishead), acid jazz (Us 3), fusion (Pat Metheny Group, Dirty Loops), progressive rock (Porcupine Tree), classical (Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Debussy, Orff, Mussorgsky) electronica (Imogen Heap), IDM/House (Moderat, Apparat, Plaid) and electronic music (Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Isao Tomita, Marek Biliński, J.J. Jarre).

Still learning how to produce music.
