I MAY BE DOWN BUT I AINT OUT
***THANK YOU, FOR LISTENING!***
I may be sad
May be angry
I may be mad
Downright crazy
I may be poor
Destitute
Pullin’ a cord
No parachute

[Chorus]
I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a heart to give
I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a life to live

I may be tired
Countin’ sheep
Uninspired
In neck deep
But I got a brain
Know how to use it
No hurricane
Makes me lose it

I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a heart to give
I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a life to live

No thank you, doc
Keep your pills
Got wood to knock
And rolling hills
Got Mary Jane
For a breather
This runaway train
Is a Believer

I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a heart to give
I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a life to live –
Got a life to live

I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a heart to give
I may be down but I ain’t out
‘Cuz I still got a life to live

[Tag]
I may be down but I ain’t out
I may be down but I ain’t out
I may be down but I ain’t out

I May Down But I Ain’t Out

Thank you  for visiting my world, I'm happy to share! Listening is free, commenting is priceless.

I 've been composing electronic music for more than 23 years but only started this new project 3 years ago, when the band in which I played bass splited.

 A large amount of the music I love was recorded in the 70's. Among these revered groups , Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Ange or King Crimson stand out. Over the years, I've also been very fond of many diverse bands and songwriters (The Doors; The Beatles; Bowie; Neil Young; Deep Purple; Led Zep; Patti Smith; U2; The Police; Massive Attack; Chemical Brothers; Killing Joke; Marillion; Morphine; Nirvana; The Young Gods; Dominique A; Noir Désir, Conil, Aurora ...). 
More related to my own synth music production, one could find influences from Vangelis, Jarre, Björk, Oldfield, Numan, Kraftwerk, Schultze and other pioneers. Finally, I should mention the great soundtrack composers such as Ennio Morricone, Wendy Carlos or Hans Zimmer.
Above all those great musicians stands the beloved statue of Ludwig van Beethoven, the visionary, the prodigy, the most sensitive man.

My desire is to be a tiny part of the admirable family of human composers and musicians in order to explore the infinity of musical combinations that our mind offers... To achieve this goal, I will continue to mix my own set of diverse influences in my own imperfect human way, without surrendering to any type of AI composer. My approach questions the astonishing way in which skills, sensitivity, aesthetic and personal history provide the fuel and oxygen for our creativity, while chance, curiosity and current feelings provide the spark. What matters the most is the process, not the result, the “product”. 
I often start my new pieces with a vague idea of the genre and mood I want to explore. Then, by playing with one of my synths, I let the sound impose its nature and call for other sounds it wants to play with.  My role as a composer is like that of a sailor acting on his rudder and his sails. I am neither the wind nor the sea and I have no map, but my instinct should allow me to avoid the reefs and I will eventually land somewhere, most likely a strange and unexpected place.
My pieces will always reflect the result of hundreds of micro-choices I made, consciously or unconsciously, that's what makes it fun, right?
Feel free to comment or criticize my plethoric prod because reading your feedbacks is the only reward I expect.

What happens when a classically-trained violinist and lo-fi folk guitarist with different tastes, playing styles and approaches to writing music try and create songs together in an attic?

diary is a container for my spontaneous and emotional electronic music. it is a mirror of my momentary mood and thoughts. I try to stay simple and pure, just recording my improvisations, using hardware devices like strega (make noise), neutron (behringer), arturia keystep pro, korg minilogue xd, preen fm2, roland p-6, behringer edge etc. The moment matters. Stay imperfect and fresh ! Enjoy!

All my own AI assisted tracks, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.

There’s a treasure down deep in this hinterland
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
A word,a rhyme, the message from a song, it stands
my rock n roll Rosetta Stone
