THE GAY SILHOUETTES & FRIENDS volume 7

In memoriam, the bombing of Guernica, Spain, April 26, 1937. A lamentation in music.

And in 2024, for the injured, displaced, and departed around the world as invading forces of tyranny rain down death and destruction upon innocent people.

I literally cried as I updated my old composition about the bombing of Guernica. 

Originally composed in GarageBand, I finished the first version of this song on April 26, 2013, not consciously aware that the date was the anniversary of the atrocity committed by fascists against civilians during the Spanish Civil War. I had had ambitions to create an animated short about its history and Picasso’s famous painting when I could afford the technology. So my first step was to use available resources and create the music, which I did 11 years ago. I have yet to produce the animation. Maybe someday. The cover art gives you an idea as to how I envisioned the graphics for the animated short.

This Guernica composition is my first attempt at composing neoclassical music. As a girl I would sing and hum made-up symphonies as I conducted an imaginary orchestra. I’ve got hundreds of improvised concertos, sonatas, fugues, and arias deep in my memory banks that sometimes creep into my contemporaneous music.

This week, as the anniversary of Guernica approached, I imported my old music file into my current DAW and refreshed it, adding French horn, the first instrument I played as a young student. I also added audio of propeller planes recorded live in March and April 2024. And I pushed the previous violin and cello parts to the limit, so if you hear a screeching violin or a groaning cello, it’s intentional; war gives millions of reasons to scream and wail. The composition’s 8-chord structure is repeated as if to state the obvious — we, humans, have yet to contain our violence individually and collectively. We witness and experience the horror of mass murder and war around the globe. Every. Damn. Day.

I realize my song probably isn’t going to be a favorite for listeners, not my usual chill music. But I’m also a firm believer in the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant. With this music about Guernica and the history of 1937, I am reminded how far we’ve come, and yet, how little we’ve changed. But change we must, and I believe humanity will change for the better. The question is when.

Out Of Love (2024) ER TK-220

Dedicated to the scientists, engineers, conservationists, activists, first responders and all citizens who are working around the clock to solve the climate crisis or to help in humanitarian missions due to earth changes. 🙏

Inspired by a midnight encounter with an owl. Special thanks to Paul Paploviante @paul-racle and Jörg @joerxworx for their generous support and inspiring music from which Night Owls was derived — based on an original composition by Paul and remix by Jörg. You can hear similarities in the melodies of Night Owls to Jörg’s saxophone, and Paul’s solid chord structure and guitar in Spanish Nights and Silent Nights. Listen to the songs here:

I'm working on lyrics for a future vocal remix.

Synth guitars, piano, keyboards, bass, and ambient sounds with hip hop and Latin beats at 93 bpm. Owl audio recorded live just after midnight on January 5, 2024. Subway train audio recorded live in February 2023.

Night Owls

It's just not funny anymore, the conspiracy theories..the hate filled blogs and social media posts..the absurd rhetoric that passes for political discussion these days
It is hard enough for people to get along as it is (for reasons that are not clear to me) but this background noise is making it impossible to survive.

To quote John Prine "it don't make no sense that common sense don't make no sense no more"

lyrics

superman is made of steel
batman has his batmobile
spider man is fast as lightning
yea their powers are really frightening
but there is one who tops them all
Someone more powerful I can't recall
Someone with no thoughts at all
we call him stupid man

super eyes that can clearly see
to the tip of his pointed nose
super ears that clearly hear all the voices in his head
nerves of steel.no remorse no sense of fear at all
since he doesn't;t know what he's got
he is not afraid to lose it all

there is no truth he can't defeat
by stomping it with his feet
there is no lie that's so far gone
that he can't embrace and sing its song
lizards in the White House
democrats drink baby blood
the moon's not. real its a laboratory
the earth is as flat as can be

King Kong pounds his mighty chest
Godzilla roars out his fiery breath
but stupid man can top them all
he bellows out his rage to all
cause someone told him this was bad
and someone told him that was worse
he doesn't take the time to think
his eyes are shut so he doesn't blink

don't bother him with truth or facts
things for trivial pursuit
He 's busy saving the world from everything that's not like him

so fight on fight on stupid man
until there is no one left but you
then you can learn to fear yourself
and bring an end to this crazy talk

Mighty stupid man

Blissful and Beyond

Waves of my Heart

Waves Of My Heart

Song composed with Kv 331, Synthmaster One and Music Studio2 in 2.019.

That year a distressing event occurred in Spain.

During it I had the idea of ​​the melody. The title refers to the moments of waiting for the development of the story where hope, faith and prayer are mixed, wishing for a happy ending that unfortunately did not happen.

Prayer and hope (LR)

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
I don't respond to musicians that just add numbers, and i don't respond to musicians that just click the like button, because it doesn't prove they actually listened.

Just clicking the like button doesn't prove the tune has been listened to; anyone can click a like button, and if you don't comment because you think my music is crap in comparison to your own, please say so!

NOT SURE WHETHER LISTENERS SERIOUSLY UNDERESTIMATE MY CREATIVE TALENT, OR WHETHER I SERIOUSLY OVERESTIMATE IT!



The homophobe accuses me of being homosexual, the homosexual accuses me of being homophobic....the truth is, I'm neither! 


Confirmation that BIGOTRY = STUPIDITY! And that bigotry is widespread among the oppressed and the oppressor, the victim and the villain, the overlord and the underdog--which is why, when these groups change places, the roles are simply reversed--underdog becomes overlord, overlord becomes underdog! No one really wants TRUE JUSTICE, A BALANCED SOCIETY, they just want a single slice of the cake, they want the whole cake! 

We belong to 'THE ME FIRST GENERATION!'

If musicians you exchange support with were CYBER-SHUNNING a certain musician on Soundcloud and this was undeservedly destroying that musicians chances of getting heard, would you bow to peer pressure or would you continue supporting the musician they were targeting regardless?

Welcome to my page.

I appreciate all the comments, likes and repost that you leave me in my compositions.

I make music for fun and to get away. I have multiple styles, although my biggest influence is in electronic music.

I am self taught and learned with Music Studio 2 on a first generation ipad 11 years ago. I have never composed before. Perform more than 80 songs a year for the first 6-7 years to learn about the program and develop creativity to compose. I have listened to different types of music throughout my life and maybe that has helped me.

I still compose only with an ipad (last generation), but I no longer work only with native MS2 instruments since I have expanded my instrument library with programs such as Audiokit, Digital D1, kv331, Sunrizer, etc ...

My music can be downloaded, but not used for commercial purposes (my authorization is required).

During the last two years I have encouraged myself to collaborate with professional or self-taught musicians like me. Are these:

Loue ghazi

Lukowig

Nathalie B20

Thanks to them for their generous timeshare and patience.
