This is a song that Computart came up with and passed on to me. It was just some ambient synth and a very simple beat when I got a hold of it, but it did have a really cool feel. I took it, and added five string fretless bass, electric guitar, piano, and organ. I then asked Tez (Llanpsych) to work his mix magic on it, which he did very expertly, as always. We hope you like it.

Lyrics:-
What matters to you
Doesn't matter to me
What matters to me
Doesn't matter to you

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the girl in her room
To the man on the street
From the man in the moon
To Police on the beat

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the Farmers who toil
To the City bank boys
From the kettles that boil
To the kids with their toys

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

From the media pundits
To the teachers at school
From alternative trumpets
To the stubborn old mule

All we hope for is that one day
We'll bridge the gap and we'll live in harmony
That's how you know it should be
Agree to disagree

MON GRAND-PÈRE EST AU GRAND AIR
LÀ-HAUT SUR SON ROCKING-CHAIR
POUR L’ÉTERNITÉ PÉPÈRE
DANS LA STRATOSPHÈRE

ANTIQUE PIERROT LUNAIRE
IL A JAMAIS TOUCHÉ TERRE
TOUTE UNE VIE LE NEZ EN L’AIR
DANS SA TROPOSPHÈRE

ET NOUS À FAIRE DES AFFAIRES
ON FOUT NOTRE VIE EN L’AIR   
ET CE QU’ON GAGNE ON LE PERD
JUSQU'À MORDRE LA POUSSIÈRE

RIEN À FOUTRE MON GRAND-PÈRE 
NOS VIES IL EN A RIEN À FAIRE
IL A POUR LUI TOUT L’ÉTHER
L’ÉTERNITÉ PÉPÈRE

NOUS AVEC LE FEU MON FRÈRE
ON JOUE À SE FAIRE LA GUERRE
ET DES NICHES ET DES MISÈRES
THERMONUCLÉAIRES

MON GRAND-PÈRE EST AU GRAND AIR
LÀ-HAUT SUR SON ROCKING-CHAIR
POUR L’ÉTERNITÉ PÉPÈRE
DANS LA STRATOSPHÈRE

NOUS AVEC NOS MOTS EN L’AIR
DANS CE MONDE DÉLÉTÈRE
NOS AMOURS EN COURANTS D’AIR
OUI MAIS LAISSE FAIRE

BIENTÔT LE FUNICULAIRE
JE PRENDRAI POUR PRENDRE L’AIR
ET ALLER VOIR MON GRAND-PÈRE
DANS SON EXOSPHÈRE

MON GRAND-PÈRE (Lyrics)

The Glories of Our Blood and State
by James Shirley (1659)

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against Fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and Crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill:
But their strong nerves at last must yield;
They tame but one another still:
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to death.

The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds!
Upon Death's purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds.
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb:
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.

"Dino Steps" (edit: Mastered with iZotope Ozone on 25 September, 2023)

Here is a song which - despite it being played in minor key - was originally meant to tell a story of a celebration! You see, I recently got a chance to get a new electric piano sound library and especially a new lovely Dyno Rhodes sound which I so dearly love and which I believe to have been listening to all my life on countless of records and songs. So, I sat down, started to play and here is the end result. The sound, beauty and expressiveness of Dyno-My-Piano modification of Rhodes electric piano never ceazes to amaze me. You can play almost anything with it. The name of the song "Dino Steps" was partly related to that "Dyno" sound but also came to be as a reminder of the known fact that sometimes in life a step that seems small can be or mean a giant step. Finally, the name also came to be as a wish from a certain private party (that is, a certain natural person:) who happens to love dinosaurs.

The song was played by me using my old Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a midi keyboard and the Yamaha Montage 8 as a audio interface. The main electric piano sound here is the lovely Dyno Rhodes sound from the wonderful Dyno Expansion of the Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 by Gospel Musicians (cf. Dyno-My-Piano), added with some MKS-20 type of keyboard sounds (UVI Key Suite Digital) and the Scarbee EP-88S. Then there is the iconic Marcato Strings sound from the UVI Emulation II+ (cf. Emu Emulator). The drums are the Native Instruments Abbey Road 1980s Drummer (with a layered Linndrum snare and a layered 808 type of kick). Then I have a Moog type of bass sound (UVI Ultramini, Arturia Mini-V) and the pad/horns from the UVI "PX memories" (cf. Memorymoog). 

The wonderful lead sound is a lead sound from the DX7 (Syn-Lead1h, converted to Yamaha Montage by Hideo Harada, Kamoda Music).

Dino Steps

Soaring above the world, floating in space, flying through clouds and over the moon on a magic carpet is the context of this composition.

Over the Moon

Typing... - nine unfinished conversations, dressed in synths, smoke, and memory.

Wanted, Not Chosen

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted
