@asteak: Wow, too good that you've checked out the other songs also. And thank you very much for the feedback. There's more in store, we're just soo slow  :)

@asteak: Glad you like it, still have to figure out how to record quite properly

Sun Catchers

Composed easily by our majestic imagery. For sure it found its spot in our live set. Recorded at our home studio after very long training and practicing. We consider this song to be somewhat our pop hit since its solid melody and overall effect. Bittersweet to the taste, it makes you move as well XD

Sorry

After the live version of this song   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqzxphuFRD0
we finally have the studio version, as always recorded and produced by us at home.
The song itself is actually quite old, somehow dating back to 2013 or so. To us it feels classic but hopefully with new skills in display. 

Hoping it brings you some joy <3<3<3


Kelly stood beside the garden
asking herself about
why does living seem so hard and
worries are so strong
why can't we get what we want now
and have to struggle a lot
we're depending on each other
and just can't stay alone

suddenly realized one thing
suddenly she starts to think 
that's a long journey
to go down to get where the sun really shines
it's a long journey
to go down to get where the sun really shines.

Sometimes it happens that something hits you
that's the price for living
and certainly being brave's not
supposed to be easy.

Now she's sure about this thing
and by the way she starts to sing
that's a long journey
to go down to get where the sun really shines
it's a long journey
to go down to get where the sun really shines
it's a long journey
it's a long journey
it's a looong journey
to go down to get where the sun really shines.

Long Journey

Do you have fear for changes?
Listen to what i'm saying 
things are just not static in this world
everything achieves to get somewhere else 
ain't got fasten seatbelt not at all.

But if you decided you should stay still
and not takin' chances to move on 
you ain't gonna be what i'd wish to be
you ain't gonna be a better person.

Maybe you feel that you would go through changes sometimes 
you'll become a friend of lucy in the sky
it's a pretty day to spend our time 
while we're being friends of lucy in the sky
and maybe we will learn just to live and love
...
It's a pretty way to expand our time
...
and maybe we will say life is ok.

There's a heat wave going on in Norway...  I made the music in GarageBand.  Maybe I add some vocal eventually.... :)
Thank you for listening!  🎧😊

Heat Wave (Instrumental-Original)

Another try at a more electronic vibe for this month’s song. I’ve actually mixed this one with headphones in mind. If you get a chance to listen in this way you might hear more of the more subtle effects I’ve worked into the song. I’m trying something different here from the last few songs so I always welcome  your feedback on how successful I’ve been. 

Hooked

Yesterday is in the past
Still gotta wait to see tomorrow 
Trying desperately to handle
The bumps in the road now

I make a list of things
May be important when they pop in my head
Playing it by ear when everybody know
I don’t hear too well

Forgot to lock the front door
Forgot to lock the back door
Forgot to say I love you
Did I leave the oven on?

Shifting priorities
Salt of the sea, sand under water
Pushed around by waves
Stuck here moving constantly

Forgot to lock the front door
Forgot to lock the back door
Forgot to say I love you
Did I leave the oven on?

Some things seem important
Right now, later on
It doesn’t even matter

Forgot to lock the front door
Forgot to lock the back door
Forgot to say I love you
Did I leave the oven on?

Some things seem important
Right now, later on
It doesn’t even matter


Sand Under Water

Wave Song (2025) Remastered

So what now?

The pieces are set,
The board is occupied,
The main actors have taken their positions.

The inevitable is coming,
Fear fills hearts and minds.

Will what many predict come to pass,
Or will fate turn in our favor?

The core of our beings has been seized by the machine.
The art that defined us is being smothered by a flood of perfect artificiality.

Simulation of emotions, simulation of art, simulation of humanity.
Where do we belong?

Where is my place?

And what now?

--------


This is a piece I improvised on March 23, 2025. I was surprised at how well it turned out. However, I didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't think of anything more, so I'm publishing it as is, with minor tweaks (I literally added six notes in three places).

With this piece I am starting a series in which I will be posting rather uncomplicated, short pieces, created out of the need of the moment, under the impression of something specific.

To compose it I used only 3 plugins/sounds
Spitfire LABS Autograph Grand (piano) (free)
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings x2 (in octave)
And one patch from truly amazing synth from Arturia: Pigments

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

And What Now?

This piece started again, as often is the case, with me experimenting on the organ. My daughter was intrigued with it when she heard me playing with it, and said it has film noir vibes, which influenced the rest of the composition as it gave me a target, a clear vision of where it was going.

Another version will come, hopefully soon, as a collaboration with some of my friends whom you may already be familiar with from other songs on my channel, which will replace some of the virtual instruments you will hear in this demo version with real instruments, namely, drums and bass, and probably add some additional surprises.

Releasing this version was not in my plans, but after hearing from three separate people that this version should not change, it is done, I have decided to release this one separately from the coming collaboration, so you can hear it exactly as I originally imagined it. Of course, I fully expect the collaboration will be better still, as it always is when bringing multiple talents together, instead of just me in an echo chamber.

I hope you will enjoy listening, and thanks as always.

I'm an outsider, I'm not an insider

I'm not the king of the party
I'd rather watch it from the corner
I'm not the boss of society
I'd rather stay all day in bed
where I am right now
I don't mind to go outside
don't have much time to listen
to a bunch of nonsense talk that I don'want to listen
evidently I am an outsider, I am not an insider

I'm not the king of the party
I'd rather stay all day in bed
don't want to hear the next chatting
that's somewhat unimportant
what I want to hear is the sun
speaking directly to us
evidently I am an outsider, I am not an insider.

Outsider

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

A friendly visit would be greatly appreciated :)


The greatest rainbow it ain't so bad
it stretches longer from the sky into your head

the greatest rainbow it moves so slow
it forms a bridge that goes from your heart into my soul

the strongest rainbow it never stops
it hacks the world and sometimes gets to block the clocks

the mightiest rainbow it never ends
you can just follow it, it leads to another land

The greatest rainbow

New song ready! "Spring is coming" will be out on the 11/11/25. :)

3 piece rock band, family group: 

Michele Candrina (bass, vocals)
Stefano Candrina (drums, seldom vocals)
Susanna Comincioli (guitar, vocals).

Michele being the all around manager (and the one who writes here XD).

Our style guidelines:
- everything recorded at home with no professional help
- try to keep a live feeling

We have daytime jobs, we make music as a hobby and do not plan otherwise. We record everything by ourselves at our home studio with little equipment.

We're proudly based on soundcloud as this platform is really helping spontaneous artistry to develope, take shape and hopefully slowly get to the ouside world. Keep going fellow soundclouders!

The band started in 2013 out of friendship, love of music and as a new adventure. At that time none of us had much knowledge as about how to play the instrument, let alone how to record a track. 

Fast forward ten years and we're still naive and constantly improving the quality of the product with new musical and technical ideas.

You can expect a slow output from us in the forseeable future.
