Epitaph (for Theo Calis 1960 - 2020)

Martin Hoogeboom: guitar/loop station
Marlon Wolterink: mastering

Theo and I have worked on countless music projects over the past 40 years. I have learned a lot from his stubborn and headstrong views and methods of recording and mixing music. His influence on my soundscapes is immense. In 2014 we both enjoyed working on “Where Do We Go From Here?” (2014 - Etched Traumas - ET77) which became also part of the soundtrack of Australian short movie “Grid Face”. Pieces for acoustic guitar and loop station.

In 2017 I worked on a sequel, the guitar suite "Licht". 
“Epitaph (for TC)” is originally a demo version of one of the pieces but unused in the “Licht” version as it appeared on CD (2018 “LIght / Well” - Thirsty Leaves Music - TLM019). Due to Theo’s health problems it was not possible to collaborate on this project but he appreciated the sober minimal guitar pieces for what they were.

I will remember Theo with great respect for the rest of my life.

Writing and recording this song has been a labour of love. After developing lots of different variations, tempos and styles, I hope this final version best reflects everything I was trying to express. 
LYRICS:
This is no ordinary day
This is no ordinary child
And there’s no ordinary way 
For me to say how much I love you

In the blink of an eye
A million memories
You and your brother
Your mother and me

And the world turns
New days dawn
New loves burn
New lives are born

And the next generation 
Will make their own way
And somewhere down the road
I will hear them say

This is no ordinary day……..

People talk of miracles
I’ll show you a smile
Hold the hand of the one you love
For a while

When there’s magic
On the breeze
Everything makes sense 
On days like these

This is no ordinary day
This is no ordinary child
And there’s no ordinary way 
For me to say how much I love you

In the blink of an eye
A million memories
And everything makes sense
On days like these

No Ordinary Day

Tomorrow Will Be A Better Day - (Don Quixote)- by Sonic Inducer -

To dream or not to dream?
All about Us...

I can't do anything: 
I'm just trying to say.. to be real

...could Be Together...
