Based on an Andrea Krux sample, heavily remixed to an ambiant track with a slight dance feeling. As always, listen with a good headset or sound system ;-)

Superstar (BFS Remix)

GOLD

Well I don’t know but
I’ve been told that
all that glitters
is not gold

The things worth remembering
have no glitter at all
but you feel them so deeply
you need to heed their call

Giving, not taking -
it’s a bit of a blast
the feeling you get
will most definitely last

It’s simple really, this life of ours here
you do what you can and
make it better for some shining your light 
for a better future to come

I don’t know 
but I’ve been told
that all that glitters
is not gold

Gold

An orchestral piece,  with a deliberately retro arrangement, full of strings and horns, from another era.

The painting: Alex Colville, Couple on Beach, 1957

Do you remember when we met?

Altered Perspective

What was that? 
A shadow dream 
At the edge of your sight
There is nothing there
but you still take care
and nothing can make it right
Your mind is clear
there is nothing to fear
even in the depths of night
The darkness holds
such terrors
that fade with the coming daylight

The lucidity of  wakefullness keeps you sane
It's as we believe it to be
Who could imagine that the monsters that haunt our dreams
Owe their existence to me
The sunlit uplands call and we think the battle is won
But demons lurk there yet when all is said and all is done

How do we just draw a line
between truth and fantasy
As the organs of the internet
tell us this is our reality
Say goodbye to all  the things 
that you believed were sure to be
Obscure is the truth we seek
Why would you listen to me?

Why Would You Listen To Me (with Gareth)

Creeper x Romanov

My meditation on human kind. I still haven't given up on the human race yet!

Lyrics:
Some people they live their life on free wi-fi
Some people obsess about how they will die
Some people they feel their love has no value
They think the best drinks are the last 2
Some people they seem to fall in love
Some people are vegetarians
Don't wanna hurt the animals
They don't mind torturing you
I've been thinking about my kind
Is this really by design?

Some people they see what the universe feels
Some people tap into the dog frequencies
Some people they wish you eternal damnation
"Hold Please,"
For the God donations
On the hotline
You know how they do
Some people they wonder how the body glitter got on you
Some people they think that they know what they knew
Yet, they fall in love
I've been thinking about my kind
Is it bad design?
Is it by design?

Some people are smart
But they're not clever
Some people live in high school forever
Some people
They contemplate infinity
While eating ramen
In between bouts of terror and lucidity
I've been thinking about my kind
Is this by design?
It's been weighing on my mind
Is this by design?
Am I wasting my time?

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:
