Damn the piano is so soothing keep grinding

Beautiful work here. Nice composition, arrangement and instrumentation.

Debussy woudl love this (I know I do!). WOW!

This is so wonderful. Simply astounding and beautiful.

"Tea with Debussy & Pärt in Casablanca" is a musical dream that bloomed during my vacation in Havana, Cuba. Inspired by classical masterpieces from Arvo Pärt and Claude Debussy, I envisioned an imaginary encounter with these esteemed composers in Casablanca, over Moroccan tea.

This piece is not an imitation of their styles but rather a heartfelt conversation between us. It embodies the essence of typical conversations in Morocco, where we all speak at the same time, meandering from topic to topic, and experiencing numerous changes of atmospheres, tempi, textures, and fragments of thematic material.

It begins with minimalist touches, a nod to Pärt's recent works, where the piano introduces serene arpeggios, intertwining with heartfelt viola melodies. As we delve into our tea time, I incorporate some of Debussy's harmonic vocabulary. 

Throughout our harmonious dialogue, the piece mirrors the dynamic nature of conversations in Morocco. We experience moments of collective excitement, where the music swells with vibrant textures and lively tempi, as if everyone is speaking at once. Themes and motifs emerge and intertwine, mirroring the meandering nature of our discussion as we navigate from one topic to another.

As our musical journey unfolds, our collaboration celebrates cultural fusion, weaving together Pärt, Debussy, and my artistic zest. Each voice contributes to the narrative, inviting moments of wonder and contemplation through our shared inspirations.

On parle souvent de l'enfance comme d'un paradis perdu., mais pour certaines et certains d'entre nous, elle fut un véritable cauchemar, terrorisés par un aigle noir...
à Annie...
Paroles:
Ton géniteur, qui aurait du,
Te protéger, choisit l'abus,
Et ses mains, sur ton corps d'enfant,
Et le silence, si pesant...
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ta jeunesse paya le prix,
Dis toi qu'il a payé aussi,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
J'ai parcouru, tes dix sept ans,
Je n'ai rien su, de tes tourments,
De tes terreurs, toujours nocturnes,
Quand le matin, se faisait diurne.
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ta jeunesse paya le prix,
Dis toi qu'il est très loin d'ici,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
On ne refera pas l'histoire,
On fera face à nos mémoires.
Il en sera toujours ainsi,
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
On refera jamais l'histoire,
Il restera un aigle noir.
Au sommet de tes insomnies,
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.

We often talk about childhood as a lost paradise, but for some of us, it was a real nightmare, terrorized by a black eagle...
to Annie...
Words:
Your father, who should have,
Protect yourself, choose abuse,
And his hands, on your child's body,
And the silence, so heavy...
If your childhood pursues you,
If your youth paid the price,
Tell yourself he paid too,
If your childhood pursues you.
I have traveled, your seventeen years,
I knew nothing of your torments,
Of your terrors, always nocturnal,
When the morning became diurnal.
If your childhood pursues you,
If your youth paid the price,
Tell yourself that he is very far from here,
If your childhood pursues you.
We will not repeat history,
We will face our memories.
It will always be like this,
If your childhood pursues you,
If your childhood pursues you.
We will never repeat history,
There will remain a black eagle.
At the height of your insomnia,
If your childhood pursues you,
If your childhood pursues you.

Farewell Horizon

Look at you sorting through your halos.
Just as I am walking through the door.
You ain't got many words to say to me, though.
It's not getting better than before.
We must abide.
In the Cassiterides.
No, i've never caught a rabbit, and I'll never catch a rabbit with you.
Now, there's no coming back, no matter what I do.
What fools.
We were.

We don't all exist within the same world.
One in which the choices never end.
I'm sure it's lovely in your sunshine.
The grass looks pretty green from down our end.
We struggled by.
In the Cassiterides.
No, i've never caught a rabbit, and I'll never catch a rabbit from you.
The bottom rung of the ladders are simply rotten through.
Boo-hoo.
For who?

Save me.
Out here in the cold.
Your safety.
Is mostly made of gold?
Tame me?
When I'm knowingly mis-sold.
Lately.
Just sat here getting old.
Out of the fold.

You little bastards, always wanting a bit more.
Oh, there's certainly some more of what you've had.
Just poke your head above the parapet.
Quickly, have a look and then just grab.
Want an easy ride?
In the Cassiterides.
Oh, you'll never catch a rabbit, and they'll never catch a rabbit for you.
Rome is built for Romans, not for you.
Not you.
Not you.

Safety?
Out here in the cold.
You'd save me?
But I dont have the gold.
Tame me?
Never in this life.
Hold me back?
What gave you the right.
Oh, the right.

En dessous du toit

En dessous du toit
Y a toi et moi
Et on vit là
Depuis des mois
En dessous du toit
Y a un piano
Qu’est fait pour tes doigts
Qui joue jamais faux

Refrain :
En dessous du toit
Y a toi et moi
Et c’est si bon
D’oublier les saisons

En dessous du toit
Sur ce piano
Qui a vu d’autres doigts
Pleurer leurs émois
En dessous du toit
Y a toi qui joue
Moi qui t’écoute
Jusqu’au bout
 (refrain)

En dessous du toit
Y a un pauvre hère
Qui est comme moi
Qui n’sait rien faire
En dessous du toit
Quand ça va pas
On regarde en dessous
Tous les autres fous

Refrain :
En dessous du toit
Y a toi et moi
Et c’est si bon
D’oublier les saisons
Et c’est si bon 
D’oublier les saisons

Under the roof

Under the roof
There's you and me
And we've been living there
For months now
Under the roof
There's a piano
Made for your fingers
That never plays out of tune

Refrain :
En dessous du toit
There's you and me
And it's so good
To forget the seasons

Under the roof
On this piano
That has seen other fingers
Cry out their emotions
Under the roof
There's you playing
I listen to you
Till the end
 (refrain)

Under the roof
There's a poor wretch
Who's like me
Can't do a thing
Under the roof
When the going gets tough
We look underneath
All the other fools

Refrain :
Under the roof
There's you and me
And it's so good
To forget the seasons
And it's so good 
To forget the seasons

En dessous du toit (Christian Portet / Myckaël Marcovic)

Staring at my face again
12 o'clock, waking up from bed
Nowhere to go or run away
On the floor, I'm glued, in this house I'll stay
--------------------------------------------------
I'm just a no good, low life, POS
Such wasted years of my life being mad
When you're the problem of your problems had
You're just a no good, low life, POS
--------------------------------------------------
Where you gonna run when things go bad?
I lock myself away, pretend I'm dead
Expecting "You okay?" in texts from friends
All alone
And I drink the day gone to cure the mood
The spirits in the bottles company
And swear the next day I'll sober up
But it flees
I've gotta hold on to better thoughts
Cause' the bad ones are taking off
--------------------------------------------------
I'm just a no good, low life, POS
Such wasted years of my life being mad
When you're the problem of your problems had
You're just a no good, low life, POS
--------------------------------------------------
I'm just a no good, low life, POS
Such wasted years of my life being mad
When you're the problem of your problems had
You're just a no good, low life, POS
I'm just a no good, low life, POS
Such wasted years of my life being mad
When you're the problem of your problems had
You're just a no good, low life, POS
