And I Love Her / The Beatles
https://youtu.be/Nm4YlZ3oYsQ

This work was supported by many people in the winter of 2019. The listeners were mainly in various area of the United States. I am very grateful for that. I decided * WINTER 2019/2020 * for this work. I wish you a good Christmas and a good year.

This classic Beatles song is designed to raise the key by a semitone at the stage of the guitar interlude. Some people do not realize that it has been changed the key because it is so natural. I think it's a really attractive and mysterious melody. I developed it and experimented with this recording to see what would happen if I continued to raise the performance of the song by a semitone for each theme. For those who are practicing the guitar, I think it can be used as a basic lesson to aim at playing in any key, whether it is chord stroke practice or melody line practice. 
However,  I know that some people who are practicing guitar can only play the same melody line with different pitches, because the chords are different. If the songs are different, other instruments will perform quite differently. Therefore, even if your performance while practicing guitar is always doing almost the same thing, it is often the case that the listener hears it playing a different performance. What is unfortunate is the fact that you can't grow at all during that time. The problem is that you stay there for years. If you later realize that you were wasting a terrible time, you can't get it back.It's a serious wall for beginners to overcome. Even if you are a skilled top professional guitar player, if you don't pay attention to your condition, it is said that you will be playing only the usual phrases. It is the same that we should always be aware of.If you can't get out of the symptom that the melody you play is almost the same, even if you use different titles for each recording, you first need to realize that you are always playing almost the same phrase.
Such people terribly often don't know or ignore the difference between the Western scale and the Blue note scale. For example, if you add an E-flat sound to the C major scale or A minor scale, and you think it is a blue note scale, it won't cause a catastrophic failure if you are a keyboard player. However, if you are a guitar player, it will be fatal.They are even suspicious of whether they have found a usable scale from the chord progression and are starting to play.Often they do not seem to be fulfilling the important mission of matching rhythm and melody.What's more, it's impossible for a sensitive listener to allow someone to pretend to be a blues player while making a sound unrelated to the blue note scale.To make matters worse, such people do not even master the Western scale enough,many good listeners will gradually move away from the artists who release or spread the works that cannot be called works. We will need to be very careful about that.You may struggle and find someone to pass on responsibility. But that attempt will fail. We all pay laziness and self-satisfaction by ourselves.
Alternatively, some beginners can imitate the performance of a great guitar player, but cannot freely improvise. In general, it is until the early teens that a boy or a girl who is crazy about guitar playing is expected to see the future from the audience by imitating the performance of a genius guitar player.As is well known, copying and covering are completely different acts.That is also a serious wall. In order to overcome this, there is no choice but to accumulate a lot of issues from basics to applications over a long period of time. I would like the recordings shown here to be used as the first step before getting into there in earnest.

And I Love Her ～slide To End（Instrumental cover,The Beatles）--- * WINTER 2019/2020 *

Pulling myself out of a bit of musical doldrums (we’ve all been there!), I resurrected a song that sat for a long time in concept only.  I intended it to be a driven song with a Billy Cobham/Jan Hammer influence.  Something that was on my “musical shelf” and collecting a lot of dust, a victim of the doldrums, that finally sparked and I took it from a scratch idea into what is presented here.

Behind The Fence - open collaboration Paploviante

"Anytime" Electronic beats and bass,E-guitar and vocals, I was sidelined for a week or two working on a track that I eventually gave up on, It seemed like a total waste of time, but this often happens and I suppose it´s for the best, a little quality control goes a long way. I work on my sounds almost everyday into the wee hours more often than not, I was initially down after realising I had created a pile of rubbish (lol). this track though, was waiting in the wings and as soon as i played it (after a long a break ) I knew it was the one I should finish. The art work is a panoramic shot I made in Lightroom, hope you like it !

We Don't Give A Shit

It's a creation with my remix to a score for Ivory keys I had written when I was 15... It has my vocals and lyrics. 15+ years to write.
That time I saw the Sun, and all the planets were one.
All the things, and modeling, written, and performed from me.
Lyrics~
Your story
Weaves throughout time like a sewing quilt,
Like the gentle flowing of your wings--
Embers in the Sky...

Through the passage of Time...
Throughout man's greatest conquest
Of all the deepest mysteries...
Of all the most gripping Passions.

Flames that burn Golden...
Raining memories over land
All in need of your Grace...
And feeding treasured lands bereft of the human race.

She flew into the Sun.
He flew into the light until it seemed he was out of sight,
But there was more...
There was so much more behind that Sunlight.

Abiocoen — Venue

After an annum of repose, London-based and industrial-clique-doted Depth.Request offers to consideration what's promised to be the first volume in a series titled Hostile Responses & Provocations. Boasting an international lineup, this post-punk, EBM-leaning VA release revolves predominantly at a pace of 135 BPM and features occasional outbursts of indiscernibly distorted lyrics throughout its six rough-hewed, distinctly industrial cuts.

Setting a brooding but aptly instigating tone, No.Ba's opener Bourbon Drive rolls out with unhastily tumbling percs, widely mounting pads and grungy bass cast behind roaring outcries of a rather aggravated vocalist.

Positing that Hate's A Loaded Gun, Istigkeit then continues by elevating velocity, hardening its relentless kicks and violating the rest of the spectrum with walls of sandy hats and whooshes occasionally intersected with looped utterances.

Cranking the cacophony handle to eleven in his wildly syncopated Shug that creates sense of participating in a DIY rave taking place at the base of an erupting volcano, War Scenes programs the drums to run at a double time next to speeding open hats and a condensed, pressurizing sub level.

As last days of s.e.x.'s-fathered and Espectra Negra-featured Phallic Mother starts off, one could be forgiven for thinking that a record with sirens of the apocalypse have been put under the needle of God's antique doomsday gramophone; breathing room is nowhere be found on this anarchic monstrosity on an aural beatdown where screeching and screaming combat to outperform the relentless drumline in gain.

The plate's penultimate suggestion Never Be Silent sees NX1 participant Samot coming well to his own through the use of quartertime-turning-halftime kicks, dirty bass sheets, eerily exhaling stabs, elongated shrills and other percussive arrangements forged seemingly of sheer noise conditioned to occupy higher ranges.

Closing on a comparatively restrained, stealthy crawler DXS, Blasted lastly showcases his knack for conjuring contemplative sound environments where UK bass can flirt with techno and percussive elements of non-overlapping positions are given equal footing in terms of establishing rhythms and carrying the sonic narrative forward without a need for restraint to permanent patterns of behavior.
