You cannot claim that you weren't warned.

Walking Backwards

As I Look Towards The Highway
A Little Crusty in The Corner of My Eye
I See The Indian Crow Flying
A City Mans Shadow Racing Against A Dark Blue Sky

So I Just Start Walking Backwards
I Left Some Fresh Tracks In The Snow
There is Something Made of Love & Laughter
There is Something I Would Never know

Something I Would Never Know
Something I Would Never Know
It's Time For Me To Wash My Hands Off & Go

So I Looked Up An Old Girlfriend
It Must Have Been A Quarter To Three
I Am Pretty Sure That I Told Her That I Loved Her
Even Though It Was Twenty Three Years Past

I Was As Drunk AS A Skunk By Then And 
Nothing Could Have Made More Sense
Until I Looked In The Mirror And
Noticed The Crows Feet Deep In My Face

So I Wondered If It wasn't Time For Me To 
Wash My Hands & Go
Wash My Hands & Go
So I Wondered Out Loud To Myself
It's Time For Me to Wash My Hands & Go
Wash My Hands & Go

Got My Things, Got My Easy Way Out
It's Time For Me to Wash My Hands & Go

Solune

Rhubarb Orc. 19.53 Rev

Piece I created with mandolin/guitars + other instruments added electronically. Most of the mandolin parts are recorded twice and superimposed, which might give an impression that there were a lot of people playing. - but that was just me playing at different positions in space-time.
Pictured: Squeaky a.k.a Squeak, the South Indian cat (http://instagram.com/thedailysqueak) who doesn't like music and is just trying to find a spot to sleep on the sofa.

Quest for Something

A little piece on the mandolin created this Saturday afternoon after a nap. 
Crappy microphone + crappy sound card = crappy sound + scratches. No mystery to this equation.
Točka (pronounced tochka) means "dot" or "spot" in Croatian and is the name we gave to a little kitten who appeared one day in the courtyard (pictured). 
That's all it is really.
August 14th 2017: The little Točka left us yesterday. Too soon. She was very fun and sweet.  You can see some pics of her here: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/tockathepanda

Having fun.

Sorry, one string is a bit off by a few hertz in the mandolin solo (oh no! why?)

Si l'on ride (Myth Syzer Remix)

Rough piece on the mandolin for this afternoon. You can even hear some sloppy fingering - proof that it's not generated by a computer (although...).
In French, "arbre à palabres" refers to the tree under which people gather to discuss, debate or listen to the village sage. It's a tradition usually associated with some African cultures but you've probably seen it somewhere else - people talking under the shade of a tree.

Flabaire - La Grève Des Étoiles

Improvisation for solo guitar.
Dedicated to Naná Vasconcelos.

To my Jessie with much love.....
Up all night with a sentence at a time
No concerns about how much goes unsaid
Time is of the essence
With a finger on the screen
Look into the North
A lost soul screams
If this sweet baby angel closes open eyes
It's just no good
Where do the days go?
Though you took a few paths off the main road
I haven't a clue except I do know
You came back to the straight road
I want to spend them with you
I only look scary to keep away the evil
I only act evil to keep away the scary
I got to keep holding you up
Though you too few paths off the main road
Some frail plant not getting strong enough to stand
You came back to the straight road
I only act evil to keep away the scary
I only act scary to keep away the evil
I'm afraid that was just a little sweet bird
That accidentally got stuck there on the branch
between me and that wall
Though you took a few paths of the main road
Flitting and restlessly jumping to meet my gaze
You come back to a straight road
Morose, morose, morose it sings
Though you took a few paths off the main road
Where are you? When will you come around?
I only act scary to keep away the evil
You come back to the straight road
Only look evil to keep away the scary
I only look scary to keep away the evil
Took a few paths off the main road
I only act evil to keep away the scary
Came back to the straight road
Though you took a few paths off the main road
Where do the days go?
I haven't a clue
But I do know I want to spend them with you
I want a rebate on my time
And, I think what is mine
will come to me
Who is mine? Who really is mine?
You took a few paths off the main road
You came back to a straight road
She's not looking for charity anymore

Mandolin with some delay here and there and there and there...

Une mazurka tendre et savoureuse, l'enchaînement d'une de mes composition "Petite hippie" et de "Féline", composition magique de Norbert Pignol.

Aurélien Claranbaux Solo - "Petite hippie - Féline"

Playing and creating some music, drawing cartoons and baking bread. That's what I like to do!
I play guitar and mandolin. I used to play sitar and learn Hindustani music - but not anymore - so you might hear some influence in my music, especially the pieces with mandolin. I don't play accordion, despite my profile photo. I wish I could pay it though, and many other instruments.

Some selected reviews written by my cat in the in-house Music & Arts magazine: 

"The equivalent of an acoustic waterboarding!"
"Music? What music?"
"Just noise"
"No place to sleep with all these instruments"
"A daily torture"
"I wish I was deaf"
"Noise arrogantly called music"
"A pleasure... when it stops"
"Can't even unsubscribe to this"

I'm very glad to have stumbled upon very fine artists on Soundcloud and honored to have collaborated with some very talented individuals.
