Gorgeous song and lovely vocal harmonies 😊🎶

Another classic song. This truly does breathe. I feel like I'm floating on air listening to this. Thanks for sharing Roger

Beautiful song. I hear echoes of the Beatles and The Beach Boys

This song was dedicated to my girlfriend Bozena whom I love with all my heart and soon we are going to get married! In the song I used the following Sequential Circuits Drumtraks synthesizers in the percussion and for the bass melody sounds and arpeggios I used 2 hardware synthesizers Prophet vs ! To tell the truth, these synthesizers are made more for composing experimental music but I found a way around it and composed a synth pop song and the vocoder is missing, which is a Korg VC-10 to tell the truth, I left the voice frozen and recorded it and then introduced it to the multitrack and it worked! To tell the truth, sometimes managing so many synth hardware at the same time becomes complicated but it worked

Te amo

Another summertime strum.
The short (and very inaccurate) version here (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/conversion-order); all the recovered parts are unaltered and only remixed (badly).
The guitar solo from 1‘ 35’ to 1‘ 52’ and the main rhythm guitar backing from 1‘ 52 to 2'30 and then from 2'45’ to the end are by my old friend Max (thanxxx you Max!).

Dear Reader, 

Not all songs must exist on the grid. This song has no click track and therefore, it breathes. As a result, nothing was quantized. It's real playing and real performances. I hope that you can hear it. 

Of course,  the song was multitracked (I played and sang everything, so it had to be) and since there was no grid, I had to listen and react to make it gel.  I hope you consider what I did a success. 

Thanks as always for coming back to listen to more of my music. In the past four years I have produced more than 140 original music videos and I have gained 800 subscribers. This is only the beginning. I have much more music to write, arrange and produce, and I am thankful for every listen. 

Respectfully,

Why Worrie -Instrumental tribute to Mark Knopler

The sequel to "Whisper Over Berlin"...

Midnight flies over Brandenburg
10 hours on a redeye plane
Flood the runway lights
In the Berlin rain

Found a jacket second hand shop
The leather cracked against the grain
Just a hint of gin
Feel the Berlin rain

C’mon play me, play me, play me, those old folk songs
You can take me, take me, shake me, take me along

The bars are empty and Cohen’s gone
Her voice still hangs on that old refrain
In the key of A
Hear the Berlin rain

C’mon play me, play me, play me, those old folk songs
You can take me, take me, shake me, take me along

The autumn wind is blowing cold
Left JFK for an eastbound train
Her sound comes down
Like the Berlin rain

The sound comes down
In the Berlin rain
Her sound comes down
In the Berlin rain

Berlin Rain (with Joliz)

'aubabe'

note: the title is a play on the term 'aubade' of which I promised something similar to my sweetheart. 

Babe, I love you more and more
with each passing day.
Babe, I want to hear
every word that you have to say. 

I want to know of your endeavors. 
I want to hear about your days.
I want to be with you forever.
Or, until nothing remains. 

Babe, you know I love you
each passing second of each passing day.

Unboundscapes of turesonance_01

psalm-11-(king-james-version)

Ghost Notes is a soundtrack for the unspoken; the quiet echoes of love, loss, and everything in between. Through each track, it unravels the pieces left behind: the moments of clarity, the weight of old scars, the rush of falling too fast, and the ache of wanting someone who isn’t truly yours. At its heart, this album is about rediscovery; learning to love yourself again, owning your flaws, and finding beauty in the truths we usually leave unsaid. With music crafted to give voice to the feelings we all know but rarely express, Ghost Notes speaks in the language of the heart. S/o to my boy Brandon for helping in the creative process on this. Love y'all❤️
