Nice percussion and vocal style//enjoying the music and atmosphere!

Definitely my favourite of your top tracks so far. Really liking the subtle dissonance here & there. Gives is a slight uneasy feel, while still having an overall relaxing and ethereal vibe to it

Love the layered production on your tracks -- so clean!

secretful sound and fine atmospherical elven like singing

Lyrics:

Let the inspiration strike like lightening and charge the living flame
Within without throughout the fabric of existence
Keep it shining through the rain
Hold the flame
Find a way to keep it balanced
And bring love to a new day
To a new day

Even in the midst of oppression
May you find a way to shelter your love and compassion for the soul of the world deserves the best that we can give
Nurture it with peace and goodwill for everything that lives

Look out to the stars in the sky
So very far away
Bursting into the darkness
Bringing potential for new life
In their decay

Embrace the change / It breaks the chains (simultaneous) (x9) 

Embrace the changes
We will all die sometime
While we’re still here though
Why don’t we just try
To let the inspiration strike like lightening and charge the living flame
Within without throughout the fabric of existence keep it shining through the rain hold the flame find a way to keep it balanced and bring love to a new day to a new day

The ghosts
Inspired by the bygone era of the 60s-70s-80s and popular art music, especially from the UK! All those little melodies that you tap with your fingertips or whistle...memories...
Artists, dying shadows on the walls, sometimes dazzling light, but their desire to be the best often led them down the road to perdition...
Many artists have never seen the light of the day of glory, these young chrysalises have not had the time to blossom on the big stages and yet some would have largely deserved it as the quality and beauty of their work was sparkling..... 
Doors open and close at great speed in this world. But they are still here, even if they have become ghosts, let us thank them for they have inspired us, shaped us and they continue - Thank you.

The ghosts
Inspiré de l'époque révolue des années 60-70-80 et de la musique artistique populaire, notamment britannique ! Toutes ces petites mélodies que l'on tape du bout des doigts ou que l'on siffle... des souvenirs...
Artistes, ombres mourantes sur les murs, lumière parfois éblouissante, mais leur désir d'être les meilleurs les a souvent conduits sur le chemin de la perdition...
De nombreux artistes n'ont jamais vu la lumière du jour de gloire, ces jeunes chrysalides n'ont pas eu le temps de s'épanouir sur les grandes scènes et pourtant certains l'auraient largement mérité tant la qualité et la beauté de leur travail étaient étincelantes...... 
Les portes s'ouvrent et se ferment à grande vitesse dans ce monde. Mais ils sont toujours là, même s'ils sont devenus des fantômes, remercions-les car ils nous ont inspirés, façonnés et ils continuent - Merci.

■概要(overview)
何となくギターを手に取って、録音してみました。
せっかくなので、ボーカルも入れてみました。
それにしても酷い歌詞だ！はははは！

シンセの音をあまり入れなかったので、1日でできました。
皆様、2022年はありがとうございました。
2023年も一緒に遊びましょう！

I picked up a guitar and started recording.
Since it's a big deal, I tried adding vocals as well.
Those are terrible lyrics! Hahahaha!

I didn't include many synth sounds, so it was completed in one day.
Thank you all for 2022.
Let's play together in 2023!

■歌詞
一年でね　最も華やかなクリスマスのパーティーが終わってしまった
風邪をひいてさ　ずっと寝込んでいたらさ　誰もさ　いなくなっていた

あんなに待ち遠しかった年末も
どこか寂しくて　どこか孤独だ

誰もいない街灯の下で
クリスマスキャロルの小説を読んでいる

ラララ・・

久しぶりに電車に乗ってみた
何だかさ　静かすぎるっていうか
時間の流れがさ　捻じれてしまっているような
不思議な感じがしたんだ

夕飯は街の中華食堂でチャーハンを頼んだんだ
窓から入ってくる風が冷たくてね
何だか僕は一人で何をやっているんだろうという
そんな気持ちになってしまった

ラララ・・

■lyrics
In a year, the most glamorous Christmas party has ended
I caught a cold, and when I stayed in bed for a long time, people started to leave me

Even the end of the year that I've been waiting for so long
Somewhere lonely Somewhere lonely

Under an empty streetlight
reading a christmas carol novel

Lalala...

I took a train for the first time in a while
Somehow it's too quiet
It's like the flow of time has been twisted
I felt strange

For dinner, I ordered fried rice at a Chinese restaurant in town.
The wind coming through the window is cold
Somehow I wonder what I'm doing alone
I got that feeling

Lalala...

Before Happy New Year

I’M IN A GOOD MOOD
AND I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND
BUT I DON’T MIND IF YOU DO
SO

I GOT THE GRATITUDE ATTITUDE
AND TO BE NASTY OR RUDE
I NEVER PROMISED I WOULD

BOMBS ARE POURING FROM THE SKY
FM
THIS WHOLE BIG WORLD’S JUST A LIE
C
BUT IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT I 
G
SHOULD CRY

I’M IN A GOOD MOOD
AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU
OR ANYONE COULD DO
TO BREAK IT
C’MON BREAK IT MAN

I’M IN AN ALTITUDE ATTITUDE
I EAT SPIRITUAL FOOD
AND I SHIT IN THE WOODS

ICEBERGS CRUMBLING IN THE SEA
WE’LL BE DROWNED SOON YOU WILL SEE
THAT’S IF WE SURVIVE THE WAR
BUT IT WOULD TAKE SO MUCH MORE
TO BRING ME  DOWN

GOOD MOOD
GOOD MOOD
I’M IN A
GOOD MOOD
GOOD MOOD
LIKE I KNIOW I SHOULD
JUST LIKE I SAID I WOULD
LIKE EVERYBODY SHOULD
GOOD MOOD

This is the second in the Departure series of experimental soundscapes that are inspired by a set of 13 poems (or 'cantos') written by Jo Richter a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches @sonic-structures. I was honored thatJo invited me to collaborate with him on this project, it has really helped to push me in some new creative directions.

This second track in the series, features field recordings from Zuunzug. He offers them up for download on this page: @zuunzug-field-recording under the Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0) ... The ones I used are Save Beograd, Novi Sad, and Waves Over Seashells.  I think they add a lot of great atmospheric texture!

The poetry is copyright Jo Richter. I have only extracted a small sample of the original poem, so please read the full text below if you are interested in the original context for the spoken word, also read by Jo Richter.

And you can follow along with this project here. This playlist so far includes one other song (2 different versions) from me and Stonerjazz, based on Canto VI, but we intend to add more in the coming months:

Here is the full text of Departure - Canto II, the inspiration for this track:
(Copyright Jo Richter)

To allow for rest, you need to make sure
that you do not fall asleep right in
harm‘s way. You need to put your trust
in crude projections of the path and thrust
of entities and processes that do not cease
activity when your awareness takes its leave.
There are no guardian spirits to protect
you when consciousness bows out.

When – as a growing child who learns to use
his wits to regulate the forces that en-
compass him – he had to learn to abdicate
his mental skills, his reason and his
social prowess, just to give in to sleep,
he felt the force of dread that did
not hesitate to bring forth monsters from
the cracks that rooms and psyches offer.

Out foraging for all the goods that people,
parks and pastures proffer, he‘d often felt
assailed by sudden drowsiness that swept him
from the inside out into the open street
and very nearly drowned him in the gutter.
The force that urged him cannily to sidestep
reason, did not protect him from approaching cars,
as though it were an arbitrary arbiter of life.

It had been then, in dire need of shelter,
that he had stepped into the cool, comforting
splendour of the spire that reached into
what lays beyond. To master words, he
had been warned, will never do,
if you aspire to tame the threat of
letting go. I‘m here, he‘d said, to enter
a frame of mind, a larger self, a sphere of

actuality that never passes out, even in the
deepest state of slumber, trance or trauma,
even when the archetypes invade
my daily reasoning with brutal presence, as
they do. To master words, his muse replied
with her bemused DaVinci-grin, is quite
amusing, once you find the time to ponder
and to muse about the situation you are in.

Virgo

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)
