Taking the risk to repeat myself, I am always amazed about the roots and triggers of inspiration in general and in music for me. Sometimes, it’s obvious, sometimes, it’s a mix of a thousands things. In any case, it’s not always easy to identify, but usually funny to recognize! For this song, here are some hints...

Of course, as you can guess from its name, first is the city of Montreux itself… beautifully nestled between steep Alps hills and peaceful lakeside of Lac Leman: local, exotic, relaxing and creative all together.

Then, still talking about this town, less about its landscape and more about its world famous July's Montreux Jazz Festival, it leads to the second inspiration: Deep Purple' Smoke on the Water. Yes, sure, you know the story. If not, you should!

Also, the style of this track has been greatly shaped upon the influence of fabulous @AcuteInflections: yes, I like that "velvety mix of Erykah Badu & Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass" of those 2 New Yorkers!

And finally, regarding 18:20? I'm sure you will figure it out by yourself...

But, still, the path from the initial idea to the song you can hear now was long. The few basic tones crystallized from a small game I do play to warm up my fingers on the guitar, moving it from warming-guitar-tone-exercise to piano/contrabass based track was pretty fun, but it wasn’t enough. Something was missing and there I got help from Blaž Pavšič, who produced the final version of the track, supplementing it with awesome percussion.

Hope you will find the outcome of this collaboration as nice as I do. You better do, as I can promise it's won’t be the only one ;-)

My Time Will Come

Introducing the song:

With lyrical irreverence and sharp criticism, Uli presents "Posta uma Linda Resposta": a song that celebrates freedom of expression, questions elitist art labels, and reveres the authentic simplicity of marginalized voices. In scathing and poetic verses, Uli invites us to respond with beauty, even if it displeases the most sophisticated palates. A bossa nova without caviar—made of soul, sand, and acoustic guitar.

Apresentando a música:

Com irreverência lírica e crítica afiada, Uli apresenta "Posta uma Linda Resposta": uma canção que celebra a liberdade de expressão, questiona os rótulos elitistas da arte e reverencia a simplicidade autêntica das vozes à margem. Em versos mordazes e poéticos, Uli convida a responder com beleza mesmo que isso desagrade os paladares mais sofisticados. Uma bossa sem caviar — feita de alma, areia e violão.

Lyrics in Portuguese:

(Verse 1)

No meu feed, alguém postou 
Não alegrou, mas também
Não desanimou
Era uma crítica aos críticos 
Um monte de textos rebuscados e hiperbólicos

(Verse 2)

Cada turma tem seu tema
A minha não tem um emblema 
Somos sem muita pós-graduação 
Ricos em cultura, mas não temos grana pra pagar um doutorado sanduíche.

A nata dos apreciadores sabe até mesmo que três trombones são amigos de uma trompa.
Mas, meus amigos e eu não somos chegados à muita pompa.

(Chorus)

Posta uma linda resposta,
Ainda que possa,
Desagradar a turma da bossa
E do caviar.

Mostra que a costa,
Costa da praia,
Não é só da gandaia,
Nem só da moça do corpo dourado.

Posta um poema gritado 
Ainda que possa,
Desagradar a turma da bossa
E do caviar.

Mostra que um violão, praia,
Grupo de amigos e uma simples canção,
Não foram eternizados somente
Pela turma da bossa

E do caviar.

(Final Chorus)

Posta uma linda resposta,
Ainda que possa,
Desagradar a turma da bossa
E do caviar. (Há espaço e lugar pra todo mundo se expressar)

(Moça do corpo dourado) 
(Do canto desafinado)
(Imensa dor)
(Quando a crítica não tem humor)

(Outro)

Isso parece bossa nova, mas sem caviar!

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

Lyrics in English:

(Verse 1)

In my feed, someone posted
It didn't cheer me up, but it didn't discourage me either
It was a critique to the critics
A bunch of elaborate and hyperbolic texts

(Verse 2)

Each crew has its own theme
Mine doesn't have an emblem
We don't have many postgraduate degrees
Rich in culture, but we don't have the money to pay for a doctorate degree.

The cream of the crop of connoisseurs even knows that three trombones are friends with a horn.
But my friends and I aren't into pomp.

(Chorus)

Post a beautiful response post,
Even though it might
Displease the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd.

It shows that the coast,
The beach coast,
Isn't just for partying,
Nor just for the girl with the golden body.

Post a shouted poem
Even if it might
Displease the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd.

It shows that a guitar, a beach,
A group of friends, and a simple song,
Were not immortalized only
By the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd.

(Final Chorus)

Post a beautiful response post,
Even if it might
Displease the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd. (There's room and place for everyone to express themselves)

(Girl with the golden body)
(Of the off-key singing)
(Immense pain)
(When the critic has no humor)

(Outro)

This sounds like bossa nova, but without the caviar!

Ich habe ein "Timelapse"-Video erstellt, das eine ganze Nacht einfängt, und dazu den Song „One Night“ produziert. Ihr könnt das Video auf YouTube ansehen oder einfach den spacigen Sound genießen. Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch.

One Night

TDF (Christian Kuehn) - One Night

"The fool is the jester, daring to challenge what other people wouldn’t. The fool is the blazer of new trails, happily taking the less beaten path because he does not know better. The fool is the one who does things because he thinks it is worth doing, not for coin or status."
These thoughts inspired lyrics good for another tune. Here it is.

Lyrics : Walker
Music, Vocals & Production : Sarah Paradise-Brown

This is a very personal song to Walker, written entirely by him. The lyrics are his, and his original vocal and music idea helped shape the overall feel. I reworked the melody slightly and produced the music, aiming to stay true to the emotion behind his beautiful words. It was a real privilege to be part of bringing this to life.

Be sure to check out Walker’s other work. He’s a fantastic person and a truly talented songwriter.  https://soundcloud.com/user-329901696

Saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

Got a feeling you could be 
all i'll ever need to see
the sun on the waters 
chasing the screams 
that taint my dreams

got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

i saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can steal
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all i need right now  
is a hand to hold 
all i need now  
is a friend 
is a friend 
all i need now is a friend

Friend

Hello, dear listeners of my music, I actually wanted to give this track an electronic touch, but it turned out completely different. This is what I ended up with, almost like a film score, but the melody has something, and it was a bit of a challenge to find a suitable title for it. Listen for yourself...

Waves in Rain

TDF (Christian Kuehn) - Waves in Rain

Pearl is a meditation in sound — a quiet exploration of beauty formed through time and pressure. Like the gem it’s named after, the piece reveals warmth and clarity from within stillness. A musical reflection for those moments when words aren’t enough. Part of the Neosphere series.

Pearl

A tribute to a beloved girl. She is silent. This song isn't.

Change begins with You

This composition was created as part of a research-led project exploring the relationship between music and relaxation. It was created as part of my dissertation project on the cognitive and emotional effects of ambient music. Inspired by neuroscience, sound therapy and the song called "Weightless" by Marconi Union. Comment, how this song made you feel and if you think i achieved my goal in making a relaxing track. Thanks for listening!
