Balkan/Klezmer influenced composition from the album Rust, released in 2010 at Kakafon Records, with the trio Kaja.

Tiergarten (by Livet Nord 2009)

Hey man, please don't make a sound
Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you
Have a little taste, no more time to waste
You don't wanna get left behind cause it's all coming down right now
How hard is it to see
Put your faith in me
I sure wouldn't want to be praying to
To the wrong piece of wood
You should get where you belong
Everything you know is wrong
Come on, sing along, everybody now

God given

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burned so bright
Now we know we're right
And His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We're the chosen ones

I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true
That didn't come right from His mouth
And He wants me to tell you.

Wait, step into the light
How can this be right?
I'm afraid we're gonna ask you to leave
This you cannot win
With the color of your skin
You won't be getting into the Promised Land
This is just another case
You people still don't know your place
Step aside, out the way, wipe that look of your face
Cuz we are the divine separated from the swine
Come on, sing along, everybody now
God given

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burned so bright
Now you know we're right
And His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We're the chosen ones

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burned so bright
Now you know we're right
And His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We're the chosen ones

World famous vocalist Microsoft Sam is back! After being instrumental in the development and release of Windows Vista, for which Microsoft Sam was widely cited as one of the main selling points of the operating system, Sam chose to spend a brief eleven year long sabbatical with his family, pursuing various hobbies such as embarking on a brief acting career, giving promotional talks on his YouTube channel, and making several stand-up appearances on the world stage at the Open Microphone Comedy Festival. He even had a brief 6 year long career at a local Walmart to, in his own words, "better understand the working class of America".

"Yes, I've always been interested in music. I wrote several songs during my time on Windows XP, but just never had the time to record anything. I'm happy that I can finally pursue my one true passion."

Launching his first promotional single off of his debut album "My World", Microsoft Sam has been wowing audiences worldwide for years with his deep and luscious voice, with a timbre that has been compared to Barry White. He prides himself on not using any autotune whatsoever in his productions, and believes an all-natural sound has been instrumental (or should I say, non-instrumental? haha) to his success. Tickets are now available for Microsoft Sam's 2019 world tour. Hurry! Due to Microsoft Sam's popularity, tickets may very well sell out soon!

(UPDATE 05/02/2018: It's with regret that we have to announce Sam has chosen to cancel his world tour in order to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests)

(UPDATE 05/06/2018: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Microsoft Sam. He was found unresponsive in his apartment this morning by a friend of the family and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. He is survived by his wife Mary and his son Mike. His family has requested that their privacy be respected in this time of great sadness. A memorial concert is being planned in his memory for this Sunday, and tickets are on now on sale. All proceeds will be donated to the Society for the Prevention of Suicide)

(UPDATE 05/07/2018: The memorial concert has unfortunately been postponed due to scheduling conflicts and tickets are no longer on sale. Any tickets which may have been purchased will be refunded)

DJ RTM @RockyTminus Bashment Rocky #7

a tribute to Erik Satie, from my suite, "Three Hymnopedies."
with Todd Reynolds, violin.
Monsieur Satie stops by his local Hungarian cafe for some goulash; after which he begins the beguine to the live house band, steps on his partner's foot (on a diminished chord, of course), apologizes, gets it right the next time around; following dancing, perhaps a bit more goulash?  having enjoyed a most lovely evening, M. Satie heads home on foot, umbrella opened, is lifted by a gentle gust of wind, and carried off, ever-so-gently, into the heavens.
Recorded live at Roulette in Brooklyn, NY, 10/25/12.

Waltz No. 2 for Accordion in D minor

meu despertador são as maritacas
logo quando acordo abro as minhas asas
acordo junto ao sol que fica a me acudir
Deus é meu bom companheiro...

e quanto tempo não faz
que nada vai além desse lugar?
se nesse caos me perderes de vista
me encontre em outro lugar com outra vida

o vento sopra aonde quer
não sabes de onde vem, onde vai
assim eu sou

e quanto tempo não faz
que nada vai além desse lugar
se nesse caos me perderes de vista
me encontre em outro lugar com outra vida
e quanto tempo não faz
que nada vai além desse lugar

eu vou partir
sem medir esforços,
vou seguir
eu vou cumprir 
o ide
sem fugir
dos destroços
aqui em frente,
decadente
