White Sail

An early Christmas present in my stocking!
Recently I awoke to a SC link in my mailbox.  What is this??!! To my utter delight, Oddrun, Arne & Peter surprised me with this wonderful musical gift.  The original piano track was to be a "someday" project between Oddrun and me, but this is triple the fun!  Thank you Oddrun, Arne and Peter not only for remodeling my orphan track, but more importantly for this wonderful gift of friendship.

Evenings With You

As usual…. you’re running late
How long can it take?
To run a brush through your hair, pull on some clothes?
You can talk ….. just look at your state
You made a big mistake
If you think you’re going out with me, dressed in those!
Why…. these are nearly brand new
Give a decade or two
Might concede their first wash is a tad overdue
My dear sweetheart
They’re simply falling apart
Rather, I have to say, just like you
Hmmm…let’s give the restaurant a miss,
Call this evening a day, waddaya say
We pull the blinds, chill the wine, book our sofa for two
Now there’s a plan…..kick off these shoes
Pan the dining out blues
Stayin’ in for …..evenings with you

…..evenings with you…..

Evenings With You. Oddrun, Arne, Peter & Debra

... little musical sketch - completely done with (quite clever) VSTs ...
Of course something can be changed, although the major brutal upheavals raise doubts .... Hoping alone does not help, of course ;-)
Let's hope the future is open for good turns!
... wishing a good 2025 !

Can we turn the tide?

'Mind Games' Is an 'Ambient Fusion' Track. Reminding us that all original music composition or playing begins in the imagination, So Mind Games is the title.

Mind Games

Demain peut-être
L'éveil de l'espèce (Neal Donald Walsh)
aujourd'hui plus que jamais nous sommes amenés à prendre conscience d'un changement imminant dans nos fonctionnements, la planète souffre de nos erreurs et il est maintenant temps de tous se rassembler pour un avenir plus prometteur et en paix, car nous sommes tous liés, Mi Taku Oyasin en Amérindien.
Quelques auteurs qui m'ont beaucoup aidés à mieux comprendre, quoi faire :
Jamie Sams, Don Miguel Ruiz.JR, James Riedfield, Dr Deepak Choppra, Eckart Toll, Frederic lenoir, Tom Hartmann, Daniel Meurois...

Paroles :
De nouveau, je déambule dans les vieilles rues et ruines polluées de ce monde
Comme aspiré dans l’engrenage, par l’attraction obligatoire de l’entonnoir
Pour me sentir encore plus à l’aise, plus authentique, sur mes paupières, j’ai mis du noir
C’est sûr, un jour j’en aurait marre, au cas où, je vais alors de ce pas, remplir mon réservoir

Mais que faut-il de nouveau, de moins ou de plus, dix milles prophètes ?
Pour avouer ou reconnaître que sans éveil depuis toujours inlassablement, tout se répète
Alors peut-être un jour tous ensemble accepter, sentir l’urgence de faire enfin marche arrière
Cherchant où ressentant au plus profond de nous, l’univers, peu à peu se rappeler, en redécouvrant la lumière 

C’est une vraie technologie bidon, sans amour, l’intelligence artificielle, l’obsolescence, les addictions, sont des mirages, un enfer
Les fleuves, les rivières, les océans, la source de vie saccagés sans respect, un mystère
8 milliards d’êtres humains, quelques robots, sommes-nous maintenant asses nombreux sur terre ?
Ou bien comptons nous vraiment sur les enfants pour assumer, combler ce vide, l’observateur et l’inventaire ?

C’est une quête qui deviendra bientôt essentiel, universel
Les guerres, la famine, les épidémies enfin bref, tout ce bordel, cruel et sans cervelles
Notre si belle planète bleue a vraiment besoin de soutien, un grand coup de nettoyage de printemps
De fée, d’elfes, de lutins, de gnomes, des êtres évolués qui ont su traverser l’espace et l’infini du temps

Avec le temps, apparemment trop serré, je n’rentre plus dans la cage
Aussi j’espère que vous me comprendrez, pardonnerez mes écarts, mes folies car j’ai volontairement coupé le lien, en libérant l’otage
L’autre soir j’ai très bien senti monter l’agonie, puis l’orage 
Ce fut une question de vie ou de mort
Prisonnier dans les rouages, je voulais juste encore une fois tourner la page

Prise de conscience, demain peut-être, je serai assez clair, je ne ferai plus semblant, sans illusion, j’aurai sans doute perdu la tête
Je viendrais chez toi te chercher, oui tu me reconnaîtras, je serai libre et nu, avec une dette, une lettre
Je te dirai combien je t’aime et je souffre, à ce moment-là, précis, je cesserai de paraître
Ici et maintenant, devenu cher à tes yeux, désormais seulement, alors, je pourrai être.

Demain peut être

'E.T. In The Shadows' is a Jazz Fusion track  and collaboration with
Georg Boehme (Winds) and Andy Grossart (Bass). 
Andy sent me through a 32 bar Bass solo and asked me if I could use it. This is the outcome from that 32 bars. Georg's Wind arrangement and solos are as always, exhilarating and bring with them a special dynamic to the piece. Andy's bass, solid and sometimes unpredictable and bringing his unique style throughout. So thank you to both for bringing my piece alive and it's my pleasure and honour as always to share with you.

If you use generative 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, Hybrid, 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.
