If you can live forever, how do you plan to spend forever? How many books will you write to improve your penmanships? How many lives will you live? Will all those lives be all the same? Or you will plan to stir the pot a little? The Goodchilds are one of the ten remaining Watchers of the old world, well, the last remaining families still intact, as the rest of them have been divided or scattered around not knowing their past. Easily controlled. The Goodchilds task for the Watcher Games is 'Filtrations', the other families ofcourse have their task literally handed over to them, it was agreed upon, there are the Historians, well 'Watcher History' really, as they see human history as a cute hobby. There's also the family of Migrations, New Technologies, Genetics, Assassins, Navigators, Logistics, Doormaking, Birdmaking, and the Traffickers, the only immortal family that doesn't need blood to live forever. So what does it take to share forever with the same families? Will there be a kind of immortal bond shared? An oath? All is well in the Watcher World until The Goodchild family was all assassinated.... mother, father, all their thirteen children, and fifty loyal Slaviks, all left tied up in the Sun Towers and forever erased in the Watcher History leaving only nine families and sixty five dust jars. The world continued revolving after that, sure. Mountains and statues rised, corroded and left to dust, myths retold a thousand times over and over, rules reshuffled for many centuries, until a young man wakes up from a long coma and doesn't remember anything, with a kelloidal hieroglyphic mark on his forehead. It was hopeless for this John Doe in-patient, when a mysterious visitor of Mount Vesuvius Hospital is just about to change everything... so to stir the pot a little.

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la

What Is Rich (with Dave Orestes, 2024)

Embark on a sonic odyssey with "Between Poetry and Catastrophe," a 15-year labor of love by Norwegian electronic artist Ars Dada. The title
draws inspiration from the poignant words "Music lives in the span between poetry and catastrophe", of the late Norwegian composer
Arne Nordheim.

In this album, Ars Dada delves into the extremes—where chaos intertwines with serenity, and violence meets the poetic. Every track is a meticulously crafted journey, featuring real instrumentation such as vocals, piano, and strings, including a grand collaboration with the chamber orchestra of the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra. From intense breakbeat chaos to delicate neoclassical string pieces, Ars Dada invites you to experience the visceral beauty of this musical tapestry.

This isn't just an album; it's an exploration of the human condition at its most extreme.


Thank you to the performers and Arctic Philharmonic

C'est le moment de rassembler nos forces pour créer le monde de demain 
(Traduit plus bas)
-----
I woke up from a dream where everything was blue
And I thought it felt so real, somehow it must be true
I've wandered aimlessly all the nights and days 
Under this azure sky, there were so many ways

No, I don't care what people say
I'd rather live a dream than stay
Stuck in this glue
Moaning every day, waiting for something new
I'll let the skeptic cynics sneer
Because I've found my purpose clear
In this crazy new world
In this chrysalis world

I'll fight the same old fools, I will show the way
I'll be joined by many more who've have enough of grey
In a world where forests whisper wise secrets to me
We'll cling tightly to the trees, and we'll swallow the key
 
But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye

I wanna wake up every day
Without some bad news, if I may 
We can move on
And teach it to our child he'll teach it to his son
Re-learn to look at the ocean 
Overflowing with emotion
Remember it's fragile
It all depends on our will 

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

But I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
There is always some hope
Until we die, until we try
Hope

So I need you guy
We can't say goodbye
 
"I was standing on the cliff, looking out to the sea
The sky reflected on the waves 
Creating many colours, between green and blue
Beauty washed over me and without realising it
I began to smile"

----
Je me suis réveillé d'un rêve où tout était bleu
Et j'ai pensé que c'était si réel, que ça devait être vrai.
J'ai erré sans but toutes les nuits et tous les jours 
Sous ce ciel azur, il y avait tant de chemins

Non, je me fiche de ce que les gens disent
Je préfère vivre un rêve plutôt que de rester
Coincé dans cette colle
Se lamentant chaque jour, attendant quelque chose de nouveau
Je laisserai les cyniques sceptiques ricaner
Parce que j'ai trouvé mon but clair
Dans ce nouveau monde fou
Dans ce monde chrysalide

Je combattrai les mêmes vieux imbéciles, je montrerai le chemin
Je serai rejoint par beaucoup d'autres qui en ont assez du gris
Dans un monde où les forêts me chuchotent de sages secrets
Nous nous accrocherons aux arbres et nous avalerons la clé.
 
Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir

Je veux me réveiller chaque jour
Sans mauvaises nouvelles, si je peux me permettre 
Nous pouvons aller de l'avant
Et l'enseigner à notre enfant, il l'enseignera à son fils
Réapprendre à regarder l'océan 
Débordant d'émotions
Se souvenir qu'il est fragile
Tout dépend de notre volonté 

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
Nous ne pouvons pas nous dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Mais j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
Il y a toujours de l'espoir
Jusqu'à ce que nous mourrions, jusqu'à ce que nous essayions
L'espoir

Alors j'ai besoin de toi
On ne peut pas se dire au revoir
 
"Je me tenais sur la falaise, regardant la mer.
Le ciel se reflétait sur les vagues 
Créant de nombreuses couleurs, entre le vert et le bleu
La beauté m'a envahi et sans m'en rendre compte
J'ai commencé à sourire"

We Can't Say Goodbye

Original by Bob Dylan (1968)                                                                              This is my humble version of this beautiful song..

I use backing track on this, its not me playing the piano :)

I Shall Be Released   (Cover)

Thank You so much for over 1400 plays! ❤️

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

Across the bay
Many many many miles away
See a crescent moon
Reflected in a field of poppies bloomed

Take a step into this vision, soon
Grab a flower and throw it at the moon

(YOU)
Don’t ask me how you’re gonna get there soon
(Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, do)
(YOU)
You might as well throw a flower at the moon

Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon
Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon

Save our wrecks
Oh then, say the best
Get it off your chest
Just another shipwreck

Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest
Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest

https://soundcloud.com/mesmo1
And with one of my dogs Sidh and one of his friend and me 🌝
--------------------------------------------------


Transparence du désir
Goutte de pluie
Et focale des reflets
Défaits par défis
L'enfantement Faé
L'autre en huitre
Sa perle
Les mots de hache
Ton inspiration
L'hémoglobine
Dis moi comment parler, relier le monde à l'iris des crépuscules qu'incantent quelques rossignols câlinant ces craintes presque cramoisies ici.
Ici,
Les louves louent la loi liminale que je baise de tous mes interstices ainsi s'y insinue ces glaces initiées par l'adrénaline, alors tu, noues ces retours roucoulant l'orbe béatement bleu comme la blonde braisée que tu bénis de ballades ou, et, où tu respires l'utopie radicale.
Sinon, tu regardes les rayures de l'azur pour mourir en toute pertinence de plaisir, ce culte de désir, ce culte de désir, reins décidés, culbutes réifiantes, tessiture des cibles, blème des cieux, dans ton creux, ce culte du désir, toi, dieu du moi, moissonne moi !
Voilà que la poésie gicle !
Ou dégouline.
La vie en son doigté.
Avec le rire.
Reste le rire.
Reste rire un rien.
Un moment.
Un parsec.
Et je t'en prie, entends le chant :
Tous les héros solitaires et traumatophiles de l'occident cherchent une tribu.
Tous les héros solitaires ne le sont que par le miroir brisé.
Leur tribu frémit.
Tous les héros solitaires ont les ténèbres comme princesse à sauver.
Leur tribu ferme leurs bras sur le vide.
Tous les héros solitaires et traumatophiles de l'occident cherchent une tribu.
Ils cherchent dans le désert, ils cherchent dans l'illusion, ils cherchent loin d'eux et surtout loin d'Elle, loin de force femelle qui pourtant les traques en quête de sels.
Pertinente est la propagande.
La solitude est soie,
Propre à bâtir un toit,
Toile des vous dévoilés
De la viole des toiles,
Mais qu'importe,
Tous les héros solitaires et traumatophiles de l'occident cherchent une tribu...

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is 
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

Echoes Of Tomorrow (with J.J.Terrell & K2 and the Three, 2024)

In memoriam Daniel C. Dennett (1942-2024)
"In Walt Disney's classic animated film Dumbo, about the little elephant who learns to spread his giant ears and fly, there is a pivotal scene in which a dubious—indeed terrified—Dumbo is being cajoled by his friends, the crows, to leap offa cliff into the air, proving to himself that he can fly. One of the crows has a bright idea. When Dumbo isn't looking he plucks a tail feather from one of his kind and then ceremonially hands it to Dumbo, announcing that it is a magic feather: So long as Dumbo clutches it in his trunk, he can fly! The scene is presented with masterful economy. No explanation is provided, since even small children get the point without being told: The feather isn't really magic; it's a prosthetic device, a belief-crutch of sorts that will get Dumbo off the ground by the power of positive thinking. Now imagine a variation on that scene. Imagine that one of the other crows, a 
village skeptic who is smart enough to see what trick is being played but not smart enough to see its virtue, starts trying to inform Dumbo of the truth as he perches on the cliff edge, feather held tightly. "Stop that crow!" the children would shriek. Stifle that smarty-pants, quick, before he ruins it for Dumbo!
 
In the eyes of some, I am that crow."
(Daniel C. Dennett, Freedom Evolves, 2003)
