AUTOMATIC WRITING

THE GAY SILHOUETTES & FRIENDS volume 5

Inspired by the ancient and the contemporary: 
''octogon branches'' is a work centered around 8 drone like ''moments'', created by synthesizer connected together by low gentle tamtam hits,  and is interwoven by chants, glassbowl and a bit of brass:)

"you!
keep transforming the energy - 1 foot in the described
one in the witnessed

but you tend to follow

one foot in the described

you have the ability
one foot in the described
you have the ability
one in the witnessed"

if this track reminds you of a great band from NYC... well, it's kind of a homage to them ;) too bad that they broke up.

Like Rain (feat. Lady of Fire)

SOME OF US AFRAID THE WORLD WILL END (Some Of Us Afraid That It Won't)

You might like to watch a video for this track at https://youtu.be/rDaaJu14PIo

This experimental acoustic piece is meant to portray the Phoenician goddess Tanit fighting for her life in the darkest depths of the sea… I'm encouraging disinformation here, because "true legends" about her don't relate her drowning... Fake news or T.S. Eliot's influence in this title?

How Tanit was drowned

How Tanit Was Drowned

Aether ocean

On that high mountain is my cabin.
I have a dappled horse that likes to run solo.
My dog, a Saint Bernard, helps me with the housework.
A crystal clear stream runs through it end to end like an arrow.
It is my home and it was the home of my ancestors. A dream come true.
Misfortune knocks on my door and snatches away my belongings one by one over and over again, over and over again.
You may not know that my place is hidden at the end of an endless corridor.

AUTOMATIC WRITING IV

Your brain connects to the world of the senses. The sun is wonderful and the air is calm.
You get ready, decorate and jump out of bed for the hot coffee.
Then you begin to remember who you are out there on the street and the touch of a cloud makes the colors stagger.
You can't do anything if you've already done your best. The result is not important and the energy runs freely through your desires
perfuming with happiness all the misfortunes. Enjoying becomes a way of being.
The telephone rings. Bad news.
Reality dissipates between dreams of smoke.
Wake up every moment as if there is no tomorrow.

AUTOMATIC WRITING III

Everything is ready. The instruments run around the quadrilateral.
On one side a beautiful young and beautiful pianist woman.
In the other, a dry and wise old clavichorn.
The combat begins.
The young woman throws the piano keys marking the challenge and the rules.
The old man reluctantly shouts his experience.
They bite, scratch, scream and argue who should rule the world
Seeing such a bleak picture, I slowly walk away from the explosive gathering.

AUTOMATIC WRITING II

There is a beautiful trapeze artist woman. She is climbing the infinite staircase.

She grips the wood that the ropes grab.

Reflect, dismiss the thoughts and jump into the void.

They pick her up, shake her, make her go round and round, but there is always someone to pick her up.

The beautiful dancer is left alone coming and going, preparing the large number.

Silence becomes a rampage, and she, the queen, flies and flies and flies.

Like someone who returns from a trip, shoots the public a loving smile and 3 kisses.

New EP "My Own Crazy" is out now! Woot!
I am so happy to share some of my own crazy with you through these songs and this album. All my heart is in these tunes, and a lot of sweat as well. I truly hope you will enjoy the mix of dark electronic music and uplifting vibes. With this music I continue to explore dark realms (musically and personally) while holding space for positivity and invigorating energy. “My Own Crazy” is a trip down the road to my inner self, while reflecting upon how to stand my ground as a compassionate and emotional individual in our confusing world of material and superficial success. This way I hope to spread motivation and positive vibes – things that our societies so clearly need.

Want to deceive me
Believe me
You’re not doing well
You long to hurt me
And send me to hell

Coward

But I know you lie to me
Crybaby
Well, I’m doing swell
You long to grab me
And slap me as well

I got the power
Coward

I got the power

Can make you
I can make you do
What I want you to
I got the power
Can make you
I can make you do
‘Cause I want to
‘Cause I want to
Manipulate you

You try to fool me
How cruel, baby
But you’re not doing well
So unaware
That you’re under my spell

I got the power
Coward
I got the …

Can make you
I can make you do
What I want you to
Will make you
I will make you do
‘Cause I want to 
‘Cause I want to 

Make you sleepwalk into your worst nightmare
So clueless
I swear that I will come at you out of nowhere
So ruthless, defense is useless
Defense is useless

Can make you
I can make you do
What I want you to
Manipulate
Will make you
I will make you do
‘Cause I want to
I got the power, power
Can make you
I can make you do
What I want you to
Manipulate
Can make you
I can make you do
‘Cause I want to
‘Cause I want to 
Manipulate you

Manipulate

A bit of a spaghetti western feel to this one.

THE MISERABLE SONS OF A
The folks around here are inbred
Twisted minds and gossip taught
But they fear the two cloaked brothers
That is until the drinks are bought

All the town is a big mouth
And they don't care what they say
Until face to face they mutter out
"You miserable sons of a.....
Of a......."

Couldn't spit the words out
Before their brittle bones are broke(n)
Me, I'm an outside
I coughed a bit and then I spoke

"Excuse me sirs, I'm leaving
So please get out my way"
I left with my nose flattened
By the miserable sons of A
Of A

The town should just accept it
Get on your knees and pray
You'll all be made to suffer by
The miserable sons of A
Of A

The Miserable Sons Of A

WHAT’S THE POINT OF STAYING
THE FATES ARE SO UNFAIR
MY SEVEN DAYS OF WAXING PASSED
I’VE WANED FOR SEVEN YEARS

EPHEMERAL MESSIAH

When the human being decides to erase the borders between countries and believes more in people than in gods, money will disappear and we will understand everything, despite the fact that a million wars will have been as stupid as they were inevitable.
Until then, enjoy the views and good luck!!
