Absolutely the rawest thing ever, feels like it was done in 5 minutes, while actually it took me about a week to finish. It's highly minimal in the way that there's only 2 instruments playing, and those are drums and bass. Heavy distorted and electronic one as usual. It plays sequence of 3 riffs with moderate techno rhythm roughly until the first half, where I switch bass sound and rhythm for a fast one. Classic metal/HC rhythm with no fill-ups and no cymbals (only hi-hat) - as I said, very raw and minimal. 
I had about 6 very good bass sounds to choose from and it was really tough call. In the end I went with first one as electronic, non-aggressive, distorted and somewhat interesting, while second one is more Prodigy-like with some mysterious hall/reverb in it. 
The idea first came to me on my way to work, while sitting in the bus. It kind of happens more and more often. I came up with 3 riffs that created nice sequence, and tried imagining some gradual involvement of drums - as the beginning goes. Couple of days later, I put that into garageband and danced all night, playing it on the loop, since I had to decide on which of those beautiful and crazy bass sounds I'll use. So I hope you're happy with my decisions and enjoy the track. See you.

Minimal alchemy

I felt for singing this beautiful Hymn from 1779 today...  I used piano backing track ( Its not me playing)... 
Thank you for listening :)

When It's Too Late

Some new acoustic guitar stuff is under construction, but meanwhile here’s a very different beast, called 'Relentless'. About the relentless assembly line of life.

Relentless

Fun At Night

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

GREATEST HITS

I’m blowin’ notes streetside in a horn section   
Blown garbage and coppered boots all gone tangling. 
You’re Bixby’s Bridge above Kerouac’s canyon.  
Way above the ruts in your trending fashion      

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits.    
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
Falling vacant down a slip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary - humanity

You’re all coiff n pressed jeans uber-reaching
Gripping on to a scene and about it beseeching
You’re jetting over Miller’s Big Sur resident shack
History is nothing but a scratch on your back

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
A eureka moment guilt trip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary – humanity

What was I just a birthright the right side of the tracks
But egalitarian ideas caught you in a trap
Trying to show a social conscience don’t come naturally
Such a handbrake on life’s beckoning verdant tapestry

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .

Greatest Hits

this track is really just revisiting an older tune from around 2022 that started off with just the opening electric piano part, and experimented with different synth pads and an arpeggiator. The updated version adds a few newer synth sounds to the mix. It's really still fairly experimental, and I may try another alternate version at some point.

The title is kinda lame so if you have any suggestions drop 'em in the comments  :)

Déclin

Vidéo : https://youtu.be/RVOcoq2FZPA

Texte : Sanzen
Chant : Baie des Anges
Musique : Alain Illos

J'ai retrouvé le goût, 
la force de vouloir.
 Revenu des confins, 
des ciels brouillés...

Voleur de mots,
je me suis enfui
En quête de fleurs rares, 
de plages où je languis.

Et j'invente un pays
qui me ressemble.
Fait de soleil et d'océan. 
De parfums qui embaument

J'ajoute mes mots,
aux voix qui psalmodient. 
Enfin, je sens ce que je suis.
 La divine comédie...

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble, 
un paradis.

Revenu des confins,
voleur de mots, amoureux... 
Je sais qu'il est trop tard,
 pour être heureux.

Et mon âme en déclin 
et mon coeur fatigué. 
Et les soleils mouillés
 et les plus rares fleurs

Et j'invente une vie 
qui me ressemble,
un paradis.
Voleur de mots, 
enchantent mon âme...
