i play this almost every day. you should name it. it's sublime.

If this is your first mandolin composition, the it's obvious you have a real affinity for the instrument.  Lovely piece.

@user-239331016: yes on that one I use the standard gdae. Never really used aeae. Onthe piece "Indus" I use an odd gc#ae. Always interesting to experiment a bit!

cette personne a eu une idée de génie , superbe compo et jeu !

J'entends ici le taxi, mais il est discret… Très belle et pure compo. J'adore la couleur extrême-orientale. C'est beau. Et obsédant, ton style. L'amant de Line renoue avec la pinte à Tony et y sont sans doute pour beaucoup… Bon sang, bang! alors… là faut que je sorte… > > > >

Beautiful. You did take to that instrument quickly. You have music in you.

Samy Ben Rabah - Mandolin Thoughts

My colleagues recently had the brilliant idea of offering me a mandolin as a farewell gift. Awesome! A first creation on this instrument.

Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

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

Mandolin and guitar, bass played by me. Drums and percussions are samples and loops because I cannot play them which is very unfortunate .

Maybe I'll try to make a song of this -  maybe.

A Few Drops...

I think I was trying something inspired by raga charukeshi and then it degenerated - oh no! Is it serious doctor?
No dogs were involved in this track.

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.
