Super raspy tone Sergio. Loved this one..

That’s a tune you can shoot pool to. If you can’t picture yourself shootin pool to it, it’s not a good song.

The spirit of my drum "asked me" to heal the pain of betrayal in all those who wished to attune to it, and so I used my breath and intention while drumming between 4 and 7 beats per second, the rhythm most conducive for going into shamanic trance.

Andreas (APi_ZZ) found that the resonance of my drumming was of the frequency 109 Hz, close to the 108 Hz which is the sound tuning used to heal the sacral chakra, the Svadhishthana. So he fine tuned the drumming frequencies to that exact 108 Hz. 

The sacral chakra governs the reproductive region and when it has been knocked out of balance, it can block our fertility in all aspects of our lives, such as our joy and enthusiasm that gives rise to our creativity. And so I added in the Adi Shakti mantra, the prayer to the Great Mother, who is associated with the Svadhishthana. The Adi Shakti mantra tunes us into Her and into Her mantle of protective, generating energy that gently dissolves our fear blocks. 

Andreas then put the whole thing to music, using flute and Tibetan sound bowls attuned to the frequency of 432 Hz. He also added a bowl drone sound (again at 432 Hz), augmented by bells chiming in deeply associated frequencies of  (again) 108 Hz, 162 Hz, and 243 Hz and a second bowl at 364.5 Hz. These frequencies relate to the sacral, solar, heart and throat chakras.

The whole track has been carefully developed to enrich (self) healing ideas and offers a deep listening experience as well. 

The Cover Art, by APi_ZZ, incorporates the Svadhishthana yantra, the visual, symbolic interpretation of the Svadhishthana mantra.

Lyrics:

Oh
When you cook for me
Your curves and moves
The harmony

Love
Not just cookery
There's so much more
To this scenery

Oh
From your moves, it's clear
That summer dress
Is all you wear

Oh
It teases me
Seductivly
Irresistably

I can see your different levels merge into one
Affection turns euphoric, fire burns until we`re drained and numb

chorus:
Watching you in that dress
Preparing something for us
Ticks all my boxes
And blows my mind every time

I was a humble man
Unruffled and low-key
Now I'm as close to heaven
As any guy will ever be

All I can do is embrace
Not meant to understand
Blessed in mysterious ways
You are my woman
And I am your man

verse2:
Oh
​Such diversity
And quantity
​In qualities

Oh
Such a compliment
To your discipline
The shape you`re in

Oh
So reliable
Yet unpredictable
Its impossible

Oh
Highly flammable
Can be magical
Or not at all

Maybe diagnosable a few of your traits
So great at your best, I`ll take the hellfire that follows your grace

chorus:
Watching you in that dress
Preparing something for us
Ticks all my boxes
And blows my mind every time

I was a humble man
Unruffled and low-key
Now I'm as close to heaven
As any guy will ever be

All I can do is embrace
Not meant to understand
Blessed in mysterious ways
You are my woman
And I am your man

Summer Dress

90's Inspire rock and roll direct from Metro Detroit.

Dive on in, who said life was always colorfast.
Cut and run you've been out done by another broke iconoclast........
Broken down iconoclast.

And if you decide it's worth the strain of one my try, then wash away the dirty days, I'll be standing by.
One more plan that we design falls apart one more time, so find a way to better days.......I'll be standing by.

Try holding something new that's running out of time.
Another fear, one more lie, another rock we just can't hide behind.

And if you decide it's worth the strain of one my try, then wash away the dirty days, I'll be standing by.
One more plan that we design falls apart one more time, so find a way to better days.......I'll be standing by.

Cause we walk away from better days. We're holding up, because we're standing by.

Standing By

Stand By

"Song of the Open Road" is a poem by Walt Whitman from his 1856 collection “Leaves of Grass”. It has 15 sections, each with 3-4 stanzas. For the lyrics of the song that I have composed, I have chosen the most famous of these sections, which is the first. At the end of this introduction I have attached the lyrics of this section.

The intention has been to compose a small song to continue delving into the use of the singing voice synthesis software, Vocaloid. Since this software only sings in the English language (which is not one of my usual languages) I thought that it might be interesting to use a poem by an author of that language as a text and I decided on this American poet.

On the other hand, the most important issue in the harmonic-melodic aspect has been that I have considered it as an exercise in Modal Harmony. I have used a different mode for each of the stanzas of the poem and in this order: Phrygian, Dorian, Mixolydian and Lydian. It is an order that fulfills the elementary principle of going from less to more musical "brightness." I have also dispensed with the Ionian and Aeolian modes to get away from the tonal environment and enhance the modal color. In the use of each of these modes I have introduced a "strange" note, that is, it does not belong to the scale of the mode. In all cases this note is the one that corresponds to a semitone lower than the base note of the scale of the mode; it is also located in the last position of the melody of each stanza, closing it and coincides with the first note of the following stanza, but in this case it is not strange, on the contrary, it coincides with the characteristic note of the new mode. This is the way the different modes are chained together.

I attach the lyrics of the poem to facilitate your understanding: 


Song of the Open Road

Afoot and light hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.

The earth, that is sufficient,
I do not want the constellations any nearer,
I know they are very well where they are,
I know they suffice for those who belong to them.

(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens,
I carry them, men and women, I carry them with me wherever I go,
I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them,
I am fill’d with them, and I will fill them in return.)

Song Of The Open Road

Is this pop or jazz or some kinda ambience ? Is it lounge?

I dont know.

I`m no good with drawers. If I were that would mean I knew what I`m doing. 

But I dont. 

It just happens…
