Inspired by a dear friend who deserved a long holiday. Hope you enjoy this 4-minute invitation to relax and daydream.

An original composition, no AI,  written digitally MIDI to DAW. 

VST instruments: Synth guitars with echo and reverb, bass, harp, cellos, and "sailing" sounds with Latin and hip hop beats at a very chill 65 bpm.

Wrote a demo of this track in December 2022, but updated the track in February 2024 after adding “sailing" audio. 

Three of the five AUDIO files in Sailing Barcelona were recorded live of improvised water sounds — such as splashes caused by my cupped hand pushing through a bathtub of water or tapping a large metal bowl of water with metal spoon to simulate the pinging of rigging on a sailboat’s aluminum mast. Plus, I imported AUDIO of birdsong, wind, and wind chimes  recorded live in ATL via iPhone on the 8th and 28th of February, 2024. Sailing Barcelona offers a partially-manufactured ambience, but one made by a human.🤗

COVER ART is original CGI by SUNNYBECK created using the DaVinci app for AI-generated original images and the artist’s CGI designed into a composite in Photoshop.

Sailing Barcelona

Tief Tief
Im Inner Kern
Wo Kein Schimmer 
Und Kein Stern 

Tief Tief
Im Inner Mein
Ist Kein Hall
Bin Ich Allein 

Tief Tief
Im Leid Ertrunken
Verzweiflung Reißt
Sich Seine Wunden 

Tief Tief
Die Last Mich Zieht
So Dass Inner Winter
Mich Besiegt

Inner Winter

(verse 1)
Level one academy better bet I’m the key 
Crown on my head like payment royalty 
rhymes in my life doing things creatively 
no questions asked that’s right just doing me
Don’t act surprise coming through like destiny 
still on the rise hang tight and you will see

Chorus
I bring the noise-I bring the noise-I’ve got the sauce now
Across the void-I bring the noise-so turn it up loud
My thoughts out loud-so just enjoy-this one’s-a cash cow
I bring the noise-I bring the noise-we-off the chain y’all

(Verse 2)
—👣—-Made to sparkle made to shine
dropping gems words to rhymes 
Holding back no not  me 
Coming through wait and see 
just Wait and see

(Verse 3)
hand over fist that is why I Can’t miss 
one with the force different levels do exist
Multidimensional words do twist 
Screw the imperfections as I transmit 
For the culture just a lift Precision with the gift
IPG1 on the mic I’m on the A-list 
Element of the rhythm who can resist 
Heat on each line dedication when I spit
Any doubt it’s word of mouth
sit back take noticed
Time out baby bro lemme get ‘em I got this
Creative days and nights  vision insight
This level so tight I slay and excite
Check your frequencies left and right 
Already built a winning team each player’s out of sight

———-Chorus

(Verse 4)
Academy Noise games departure flights loading
Embracing time and space so much I’m floating
Gotta beat the high score before there’s a landing
nothing last forever it’s all time spent learning 
A nonstop endeavor we’re hell bent earning
Another one on fire it so hot track’s burning 🔥🔥🔥——lit
Repeat (Verses 2, 3, and 4)

I Bring The Noise

I discovered  on soundcloud The Magical Realm of the Electronix composed and played by Jano and the Electronix.
You know how it goes, it was gorgeous and i felt the need to sing!


Lyrics
E e eeee aa aaaa oe oe wah
Once upon a time in a distant land called Synthiopia, where people lived in harmony, people lived in harmony
 one day something extraordinary happened. A  musician The Master of Electronix mamama master of Elec tronix
He made a synth He made a synth so extraordinary 
He made a synth He made a synth so extraordinary 
When he touched the heart of the people
In  Synthiopia  
Come on come on come on we make music with electronix
He made a melody he made a harmony, 
Of unknown beauty
Once upon a time in a distant land called Synthiopia, where people lived in harmony, people lived in harmony
 one day something extraordinary happened. It was a  musician; The Master of Electronix mamama master of Elec tronix
 He made a synth He made a synth so extraordinary 
When he touched the heart of the people, everything changed  
He made a melody he made a harmony, a rythme in  synthiopia
Of unknown beauty

met Carlotta's zoete stem! Een hele tijd geleden... 

Als in een boek in een andere taal 
ben je beland in een vreemd verhaal
Doolt door het huis je voelt je alleen
gaat niet buiten gaat nergens heen

Praat tegen muren, ze antwoorden niet 
praat tegen jezelf, maar je hoort het niet
denk niet dat ik het niet weet
ik hoor en zie je diep verdriet

Als je roept kom ik naar je toe 
probeer te slapen je bent zo moe 
ik zal over je waken 
in donkere zee, ben ik je licht, ben ik je baken 
geen loze woorden, ik zal er voor je zijn 
van nu af aan ben ik je reddingslijn

Je voelt je een scherf van een vaas die aan diggelen ligt (x2)
Maar dan ben je een deel van een groter geheel 
goed omringd en niet alleen				x2
Een golf van de zee, een straal van het licht		x2
 een rijm in een mooi gedicht
Als je roept kom ik naar je toe 
probeer te slapen, je bent zo moe 
ik zal over je waken 
in donkere zee , ben ik je licht ben ik je baken 
geen loze woorden ik zal er voor je zijn 
van nu af aan ben ik je reddingslijn
goed omringd en niet alleen, deel van een groter geheel

Translation:
Like in a book in another language
you have ended up in a strange story
Wandering through the house you feel alone
doesn't go outside doesn't go anywhere

Talk to walls, they don't answer
talk to yourself, but you don't hear it
Don't think I don't know
I hear and see your deep sorrow

If you call, I will come to you
try to sleep you are so tired
I will watch over you
in the dark sea, I am your light, I am your beacon
no empty words, I will be there for you
From now on, I'm your lifeline

You feel like a shard of a vase that is shattered (x2)
But then you are part of a bigger picture
well surrounded and not just a pixle
A wave of the sea, a ray of light 
 a rhyme in a beautiful poem
If you call, I will come to you
try to sleep, you're so tired
I will watch over you
In the dark sea, I am your light, I am your beacon
no empty words I will be there for you
From now on, I'm your lifeline
well surrounded and not alone, part of a larger whole

Een Deel Van Een Groter Geheel Ft. Carlotta

A song about a close family member who really needs to understand that his relationship is over. 
And she as been letting him down gently without ever officially ending it. 
He continued to constantly offer his thoughts and opinions of which he considered it to be helpful but she did not appreciate or even understand it. 
He was casting his pearls before the final swine. 

CASTING PEARLS 

V1
How many times can you lay yourself bare 
make it the last as she now doesn’t care 
It’s face down in the water doesn’t wanna share 
Herself her children & this love affair 

Chorus 
I can see you were casting pearls 
Before the final swine 
It doesn’t seem to matter now
This girls made up her mind 
For the final  time

V2
Here we are yet again and again 
Riding two wheels to just to heal the pain 
Inspiring the life that feels mundane 
Ride your sunset from your hurricane

Chorus 
I can see you were casting pearls 
Before the final swine 
It doesn’t seem to matter now
This girls made up her mind 
For the final  time

Around the time I turned 50, a couple years ago, we got a nice electric piano and I promised myself I would try to learn to play boogie style piano. After a few recordings of much shorter and simpler attempts, this is about as far as I got, after about half a year.

This tune was used as the basis for a longer, heavier version I did more recently, building other instruments around it. Here's that 'expanded' version...

...but I always meant to include the original solo piano version. now I did.  :)

Good evening everyone!!   I am happy to present my latest album to bring 2025 to an end.  Warm Bloo takes place in a very very warm setting, as you listen to some nostalgic beats of the past and mix in with the new style.  Warm Bloo is quite a unique, steamy Christmas album♨️💧❄️🎄🎵🎧 , but there's a deeper meaning behind it; the two tracks "Onsen Time Machine"  & "Hope to the Future" serves as a bridge connecting past and future; a time to think about what we've gained or what we've lost throughout our lives, how we're doing now in the present, and what we can do to thrive towards the future.  Think of the timeframe between 1995 to 2025, and what we bring into the new year of 2026⌛✨🙏🏾
