Kanada, 1934: Das Mädchen Pearly Everlasting, zu Deutsch Silberimmortelle, ist fünfzehn und in einem Holzfällercamp mitten im Wald aufgewachsen – zusammen mit dem Bären Bruno, der seit ihrer Geburt ein Teil der Familie ist. Doch dann beschuldigt man Bruno, einen Mann getötet zu haben. Der Bär wird weggebracht, niemand weiß, wohin. Verzweifelt und entschlossen macht Pearly sich zu Fuß auf den Weg durch die tief verschneite kanadische Landschaft, um Bruno zu suchen.

Cover (at the time of it's release) of Linkin Parks latest release "Up From The Bottom".

We changed the key specifically for our vocal ranges.  Hence the "in C#m." 

Probably one of the more complex songs I've figured out.  (Yeah, I did my parts by ear.)

Happy back holiday. Been busy on bandcamp purchasing some absolute fire tracks from Glitterbox and Defected label. 

It’s what I was brought up on in my career. They just never stop with the big bangers.

RESILIENCE

Armstrong, ieu soi pas fòrt negre
Soi tot blanc de pèl
Me sentissi pas alègre
Per cantar l’espèr
Òc, vesi lo solelh, l'aucèl
Res res lusís pas al cèl
Pas ges d’àngel…
Que soi blanc de pèl

Armstrong, te rises del mond
Emb’ ta dentadura
Ieu, o vesi dins lo fons
Negre de natura
Canta per ieu, Lois, òh òc
Canta canta canta, aquò’s de mèl
Ai freg, òh ieu
Que soi blanc de pèl

Armstrong, la vida, quin afar
Es pas amusant
Que s'escriga blanc sus negre
O negre sus blanc
Se vei sustot de rog, de rog
Sang, sang, sus tots los cotèls
Qu'òm siá, ma fe
Negre o blanc de pèl

Armstrong, un jorn, d’ora o tard
Sem una esqueleta
La tieuna per te trufar
Pòt esser negreta
Anatz Louis, alleluia
Al delà de nòstre drapèl
Negre e blanc se semblan
Coma una sola pèl

Armstrong (version occitana)

Funky Jumpin

"Whispered Touch" is a slow, mysterious smooth jazz ballad that lives in the quiet spaces between words and melodies. A delicate piano sets the scene with sparse, lingering chords, while a sensual voice enters like a secret confession — intimate, smoky, and full of hidden meaning. Like the classic 007 titlesongs.

The arrangement unfolds with restraint: soft brushwork on the drums, subtle bass lines that move like shadows, and gentle atmospheric textures that frame the vocal. The voice doesn’t dominate but caresses the melody, as if each phrase were a whisper carried through the night.

The song moves at an unhurried pace, letting every note breathe, creating a space where vulnerability and desire intertwine. Its intimacy feels almost cinematic, like an encounter remembered in fragments — fleeting yet unforgettable.

Here are the lyrics:

[Verse]
Your fingers trace a quiet line,
A whispered touch, a tender sign,
Like ripples kissing a still lagoon,
Morning blooms, but it's not too soon.

[Prechorus]
A rhythm sways beneath our feet,
Two hearts syncopate, soft and sweet.

[Chorus]
Oh, the way you move, the way you stay,
Drawing me close, then drifting away.
In every beat, in every sigh,
You’re the song I sing, my lullaby.

[Verse 2]
Your voice is warm as summer rain,
Each word a spark, a sweet refrain.
The room dissolves, the night unfolds,
A dance of gold in stories untold.

[Prechorus]
The world slows down, the edges blur,
Lost in the sway, just me and her.

[Chorus]
Oh, the way you move, the way you stay,
Drawing me close, then drifting away.
In every beat, in every sigh,
You’re the song I sing, my lullaby.

Name: Yana Shen
Given Name: Olivia
Planet of Origin: Krypton
Job Title: "Shinoda"

Yana is one of the creative leads of One Over None, a newer band looking for a label (and maybe even we have found one... we'll see...), that does all original music while using some fun cover songs for now to get people ready for the original music.

One Over None's member live all over the USA at the moment - which is problematic at the moment due to the rise of Nazi Fascism in the form of M*A*G*A.  Freedom is not voted for and liars are to be stopped.

Yana's stage and online name comes from a weird history of gaming and making music.  It actually comes from the sister of an X-man.   Yana has been playing guitar since she was 15 and singing since she was 10.  Her mom got her into music and comics when she was young and it's all she's ever loved doing.  Weekends in high school were spent playing guitar in her room and annoying her parents who thought a guitar was a better idea than a drum set.

Her first band was with her best friend and called 16th Runaway. They made a very basic original album and it was called Storm.  All 3 people who heard it liked it - but since they were all parents - it's a pretty good bet they were biased.

Since then Yana has been in several bands including a band that did an East Coast Tour.  She was in several popular Burlington Vermont bands, and even did a stint in a progressive band in Los Angeles.

Now with Topaz they have formed "One Over None" and found really great people from all over the country who just love the kind of music that they do.

octave plateau – music by Gerhard Andreas Schreiber

Gerhard Andreas Schreiber. Since the 1980s,  composing and producing music under the name octave plateau. What began in the shadowed clubs of the post-punk era and the neon-lit pulse of the Neue Deutsche Welle has grown into a lifelong journey through diverse soundscapes and emotions.

Back then, working with artists like Markus, capturing the spirit of a generation in transition – between analog grit and melodic futurism. But the musical path didn’t stop there.

Today, octave plateau bridges four distinct yet emotionally intertwined genres:

Smooth Jazz – music like warm light on late-night streets; gentle grooves, atmospheric chords, and melodies that breathe and linger. It’s the sound of reflection and release, crafted with subtlety and soul.

New Wave – shimmering synths, melancholic harmonies, and rhythm-driven storytelling. A style rooted in the 80s, but constantly reinterpreted to reflect the tension and beauty of the now.

Deutscher Schlager – emotional, melodic, and lyrical. I approach this genre with both respect and reinvention – drawing from its traditions while reshaping its form for contemporary ears.

Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) – raw, ironic, and rhythmic. NDW has always been the rebellious heart of octave plateau, combining German lyrics with electronic textures, punk aesthetics, and a dose of playful absurdity.

In 2024, these songs – some newly written, others rediscovered and reimagined – are being produced in the octave plateau studio in Berlin. Here, the past and the present meet in harmony and friction. Analog synthesizers hum alongside digital clarity. Stories unfold in every track – sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a sigh.

octave plateau is not just a musical alias. It’s a lifelong project, a personal archive, and a sonic playground. Welcome to a place where genres speak to one another – and where every note has a memory.
