This is great Samy!  Echoes of Steven Reich for me...

That's a lot of emotion packed in one instrument!

Warning, contains between 31.5% and 100% mandolin, which depending on your mental condition could have serious consequences or nothing at all - which is even worse.
You cannot claim that you weren't warned.

I repost this playlist whenever I update it

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

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.

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

A Few Drops...

There's always a prelude to something n'est-ce-pas?

Hey there, here is my new single 'US Against the World' hope you like it! :)

Us Against The Word

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.
