Tell Me Why (Demo)

Heard It All Before (you are now logged in)

This month's song challenge, issued by Hugo Moroux and Ben Levin, was to make a song titled You are Now Logged In, with that title as the theme. My mind immediate went to the sound the original Playstation makes when you turned it on, so I used that for a bit of inspiration behind my song. For the lyrics, I just wrote some words that I felt fit the atmosphere.

Lyrics

You are now logged in
Everyone is waiting for you
You need not bring your things
You are now logged in
Everything known or unknown
Will become a part of you
You are now logged in
Have faith, for
You will not be lost
Amongst the clouds and stars
You are now logged in
We are now logged in

You Are Now Logged In

A song challenge track with the prompt simply being the title "You Are Now Logged In". Somewhere along the way, that turned into "Thank You for Logging In" in my head, lol. For me it conjured up an image of a hacker trying to get access to a server(or The Matrix itself) and getting more than they bargained for!

Musically, this turned out to be a disco track with quite a few time signature changes behind the scenes. Still pretty danceable, methinks!

Thank You For Logging In

Lyrics:

I was changed
It's already over
Never walking away
It's untenable 

Our mistakes
It's arbitrary to us now
Never walking away
It's like a sinkhole brow

Are we strong enough 
Let's epilate 
I found a love under my skin 
It's stopped the itching 
Of healing knife nicks

Moroux X Levin Challenge - March 2023 Submission

Lyrics:

Let the record show I've got nothing but time for those who surround me
But I'm starting to learn how to sift through the scum
Heaving along
You're no hunter you're a little boy
Open to the scorch of the light
You're not the one who is holding onto hope that you're one day gonna change

Only you decree the turning of the tides
Prune in the sun when I hang you out to dry
Heaving along
You're no hunter you're a little boy
Open to the scorch of the light
You're not the one who is holding onto hope that you're one day gonna change 

Enough
Will you wrestle the wind for a new love
And hold your palms up to the sky
We must sacrifice 

You have no idea what it takes not to start a fight
And so I'm starting to learn what it takes to breach the light
Heave me along
You're no hunter you're a little boy
Open to the scorch of the light 
You're not the one who is holding onto hope that you're one day gonna change
Gonna change

Lyrics:
Force of nature, you give us life
You cleanse our souls, our bodies you bind
Your calmness brings peace to a raging mind
In abundance you quench our thirst
You are us, you are us
Majestic in healing and light, forever with nourishing strength and delight
You gracefully flow
Bring us back to life, easing our pain
Unrelentlessly never abstain
We want to rise, we want to rise

Created in response to Naviar Haiku challenge 543:

rain on the cherry blossoms
with bamboo in the mist -
so pale and green

Challemge details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

A different approach for this one, no modular just audio samples and instrument and effect plugins. Mainly because I wanted to see what I could do with the Stochas probabilistic sequencer. https://stochas.org I also had some other effects and instruments that I wanted to give a proper outing.

All the samples are from here: https://www.luftrum.com/free-field-recordings  Some are from the Free pack but I bought the full library a few weeks ago but again hadn't used them in anything.
