A soundscape of sampled sirens from around the world during 2020.

Siren City Songs

Nascido na montanha, nunca viu a cidade.
Ele já tem tudo o que o dinheiro não compra
e cada dia traz-lhe a liberdade.
E os dias passam devagar, como se chegassem de longe.

Guardador de rebanhos, comida para a cidade.
Nunca chegou até à quarta classe.
Mas o que importa é chegar à verdade,
porque a verdade, em verdade, chega devagar,
como se chegasse de longe.

Nascido na montanha, nunca viu a cidade.
Condenado a ser feliz na miséria,
para não ficar a dever nada à sociedade,
ao cidadão no coração da cidade,
onde o amor entra devagar,
como se chegasse de longe.

Born on the mountain, he never saw the city.
He already has everything that money can't buy
and each day brings him freedom.
And the days pass slowly, as if they arrived from afar.

Keeper of livestock, food for the city.
He never reached fourth grade.
But what matters is getting to the truth,
because the truth, in truth, comes slowly,
as if arriving from afar.

Born on the mountain, he never saw the city.
Condemned to be happy in misery,
so as not to owe anything to society,
to the citizen in the heart of the city,
where love enters slowly,
as if arriving from afar.

Que les chiens me pardonnent ;
Mais, toi, le spéciste qui se la donne,
Toi, dépourvu d'empathie et pourri de pouvoir,
Veux-tu être mon chien ce soir ?

Ainsi tu seras un bon garçon,
En prière devant mon giron,
Léchant à terre, mon élixir doré,
Suppliant pour être attaché.

Alors j'enfoncerai ce saint axe
Et à chacun de tes cris, viendra une taxe.
Gicleur en geyser de joie,
Sera effacée, toute trace de toi.

Que les chiens me pardonnent,
Mais toi, je te traiterai sans borne
Tel que les humains l'affectionnent ,
Déshumanisée, ma petite salope à pénis sera bonne.

Que les chiens me pardonnent

Veux-Tu être Mon Chien Ce Soir ?  Damga & Wivresse

... Unfortunately I am not a "real" pianist, but I always enjoy a bit of playing on my keyboard ;-)
... In any case, this is played in real time ! .... I've set the VST Grand Piano to Chord (5th) and was happy to see what happens ... enhanced by the triggering of a pad and a nice echo :-) ... my humble idea of ambient piano :-) Maybe someone will like it ! // It was also fun to transport a piano into the jungle using image processing.

Dear friends, I can't help that I simply have to continue to protest against all the violence in the world. It's only getting worse and worse - the invasion of Ukraine has escalated the number of bombings and violence in the Middle East is increasing. This is not the children's fault!

Kids Must Feel Safe

When the children are leaving their home
they must always be safe without any threats
wherever they may be - in our world
They say mom now I am home

The Year twenty three has not been good
for the kids in our world - a lot of kids have died
since villains have sent - bombs on their homes
the kids want to be safe

The year twenty four gives us hope
that the rulers of the world finally realized
that it is not ok to take any life
they can’t blame any war for that

The people must cool down
since all hatred create violence at once
this is an important lesson for all kids on earth
and the sun will shine on us

Kids Must Feel Safe

Thanks to Grace for harmonies.

Hey you, with your mask and your MP3,
where d’you think you’re going to?
I got someone I got to see,
maybe too good to be true.

Hold on, 		        just a little bit longer
Reach out, 		just a little bit further
Head down, 		in the overhead crossfire
Fading with the evening

Hey, with your bed on your shoulder pack, 
when d’you think you’re coming home?
I just need to get back to my love,
been too long alone

How long, 			when you com’in back kid?
Head strong, 			you’re radioactive
Done nothing wrong,	I wish you’d come back now
You broken rolling stone

Hey, you, with your style and your different friends,
with your new name, what d’you think you’ve done?
I’m in between two places,
don’t belong in either one.

Long time, 		searching for obscurity
Maybe 		        a little bit traumatized
Seems like 		all the time she knew me
Searching for a sign
Shining 		        blue and green beryline
Coming home,		maybe Sapphirine
She smiles,		she smiles like you’ve never seen
I wish I was there

lyrics:
Like we used to
---------------
We don't play in gigs like we used to
We don't play in the streets like we used to
We don't hang out in squares like we used to
and we don't drink ice cold beers like we used to

and now we grew up, became strangers we fell on trap 
and the days are not the same, like we used to...used to

We don't jam at all, like we used to
we don't grill outside the yard, like we used to
we don't party as friends like we used to
we don't say hello like we used to....used to

and now egos stood up, became cold and all that crap
and the years are not the same, like we used to...used to!

Rock and Roll Kills

Like We Used To

Stepped out of my norm for this one, this is  not a composition that i would usually make so i apologize for the rough edges . if any producers have advice  feel free to reach out.  I played around with delay on a drum rack filled with a melody i made. I also added a few loop effect variations.  Composed on Ableton Push 3 and Live 11.
