Going Home- By Andrew LB Smith with R Grigg on guitar

Soft, fluid, slow. A melodious flow of music, filled with the sweet melancholy of ever-changing time and inevitable loneliness, telling stories of passing life. This is Doina's energy. Doina is one of Moldavia’s musical folklore dramaturgies, which has inspired our friend and artist @bliznochi to compose the songs for our today’s release „Nisip“.
The EP may be seen as a dedication to what we call our home, our home lands. The environment we have perceived in our childhood. The nature, the sounds and the emotions that are deeply rooted in our minds and hearts, carried to present times. For Bliz Nochi this home is the Nistru river in Moldavia, of which shores he has grown up, capturing the tradition of local culture.
Bliz Nochi combined both works „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului" (meaning „the sand of the shores of the river Nistru“) and „Sand“ into the EP’s title "Nisip" – sand. Its memories drive Bliz Nochi’s search for new interpretations of the traditional Moldavian musical song – Doina – as a theme of connection with the land where he grew up, with the flow of the river, the passage of time and the eternal song of life.
Accompanied by Amalia Sadreev, clarinetist from Kazan, who skilfully transforms the feeling of Doina through his instrument. The clarinet sings this Doina song in „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului" together with a male voice, echoing and complementing each other. 
The polyrhythmic melody of „Sand“ is performed with an acoustic guitar. Meant to induce our subconsciousness, this melody might feels familiar to some, being once sung by a male or female voice. It shall connect us with the mood of that ever-flowing song of life.

The EP comes with 4 Remixes. Each of them combining the original idea of the songs with the unique style of the artists:

Portuguese duo Ohxalá (@ohxala) casts their unmistakable groove on „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului“ by drawing a baseline, that simply invites you to jump up and dance.

Hungarian artist BéTé (@destroydisco) is known for his bright and colourful edits. He adds the song a typical pinch of playfulness and emphasises its trippy character.

C.love (@cloveontherocks-1) sprinkles the flair of her habitat, the Californian Joshua Tree desert. She kinda lets the sun dry out „Sand“ and sieves it’s grains. The result is a rough and psychedelic texture, spiced up with a fine dash of acid.

Istanbul based artist Erhan Yilmaz (@erhanyilmazedits) stirs in an oriental flavour to his interpretation and let’s the Nistru river flow a little faster. He pours in a mysterious and bouncy wave that is all set for its vigorous slosh on the dance floor.

Enjoy the flow! ~~~

Whenever we say goodbye - Text written by Nat Daniels https://soundcloud.com/natdaniels

Evergreen we all begin
Never knowing what we lose and what we win
We take our chances where we can
Finding love between a woman and man

But with the sweet comes the bitter
With sunshine, there’s always been some rain,
And raging like the drops that splatter
I believe in us, through the laughter and the pain
Though the road may take you, You’ll come home again,
‘Cause you know inside, our song’s all sound the same
And we’ll fight until we tumble in our breathless fire and come alive again..

And Whenever we say goodbye…
A little of me dies each time..
Time will flow … we’ll be together..
No Goodbye….. Oh no.. Goodbye’s not forever..

Sometimes hearts must break and shatter
But hindsight can renew and mend again….
It takes two minds that know what matters
And the courage to reach out and make a change…
I may not say all the time,
And sometimes I may fail at being kind…
But I will love you ’till I die,
No Goodbye is not forever.. When we say goodbye
Goodbye’s not forever…

False Start

An early work from the band, "Where The Tall Poppies Grow" offers an interesting contrast. On the one hand there's a sprawling sense of space embodied by Iceland's bleak landscapes, on the other, the deep resonant bass lines of  Bjarne Guðjohnsen, who grew up listening to his father's dancehall reggae collection where booming bass was such a feature.

Where The Tall Poppies Grow by Laxá

A gentle guitar arpeggio and organic drum cycles immediately bring the heat of the summer with all its tempting sensations. Melodic elements are slowly spiraling towards each other, like two birds dancing together in a dark blue sky.

***Release Date 23/02/21***

With an ever growing curiosity for the genre "Exotica", I took inspiration and created this little musical selection for you. Stealing small elements from the past and adding my clunky riffs to create a sort of love letter of sonic wisps, I weaved a tale of one soul's journey to escape the pressures of today's life but to only be pulled back in by the crushing ease. Why is it so hard to disconnect? I'm suffering from Nostalgia syndrome...

Exotic Calls

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home sice around 1990 and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!
