Movements - Losing Fight (Kip Cover)

CHORUS 
" because it cant get more obvious to you 
more obvious to you "

VERSE 

Sinking into my seat breathing slow 
somewhere unknown

What you ask of me i've ask myself so many times 

But not over the phone when i'm alone 

Don't be my crutch kuz i have enough 

Who you used to know is dead and gone


PRE VERSE

Kuz i've been breaking records for myself 

and thats all i want 

i will climb this mountain with or without your help 

VERSE

Yeah i told you that i don't need nobody else 
but solidarity is a glacier that never melts 

so what else? Rationalizing grief with the belief of preserving self 

and you will push and pull until there is no one left  
 
 






Dead Wrong

Finally (Demo)

Written for my final English project, a film study on Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands". It required me to create a piece of art that represented the main themes of the film, using a variety of strategies. Here we see the three part structure of my piece, as it aims to deliver the same message as the arc in the film which follows Edward's loss of innocence.

A flicker in the darkness—a momentary pause, suspended between longing and release. "Sky’s Lantern" is a delicate reflection on what has been lost, a gentle descent into the aching sadness that lingers even after the storm. Where the arrogance of "Dandelion" once held sway, here, vulnerability returns, soft yet unrelenting. The song draws the listener into a mystical forest at midnight, where the solitude of the heart mirrors the isolation of the trees, and time itself seems to stand still. At the centre of this glade, where the world feels impossibly still, a sliver of light breaks through the dense canopy, casting a glow that is more than just the reflection of stars or moon—here, the universe itself seems to unfold, revealing both the infinite and the intimate.

In this space, memories float like fragile lights in the distance—distant, beautiful, and forever just out of reach. The lantern, suspended in the night sky, is not a beacon of hope, but a void—a quiet, ever-present reminder of the unknown. It whispers that even in the depths of grief, there are no clear paths, only questions and the silence that lingers after.

“Sky’s Lantern” is the moment when pride gives way to vulnerability, where the heart is still torn between what was and what will never be, yet still drifts forward, unsure, carried by the pull of something that may never be understood.

Sky’s Lantern

In the stillness of the glade, "Veiled Horizon" reflects a quiet loss of direction. The echoes of past emotions begin to fade, leaving behind a hollow, empty space. The song drifts through an atmosphere of uncertainty, where nothing feels solid or clear. The absence of definition becomes the focus—what once felt intense now seems distant, like a horizon veiled in mist, just out of reach and fading. This is a moment suspended in time, where even the memories feel like distant shadows.

Veiled Horizon (Instrumental Demo)

A fleeting moment of clarity, a river of memories shimmering with the illusion of beauty. "Glass River" is the quiet realisation that dwelling too long in nostalgia only reveals how fragile those memories truly are. Here, the aching grief of the past is momentarily forgotten, giving way to an almost lighthearted reverie—a flow of beautiful thoughts, once cherished, now reimagined with a certain detachment. The song dances between two sections, almost as if the mind is lost in a dream, only half-aware of its own fragility.

But beneath the surface, something shifts. The Minore section, with its rich, dark tension, breaks the dreamlike state, pulling the listener back to the pain that lies hidden beneath these ‘pleasant’ memories. The shift is sharp, unexpected—like the shattering of glass. Anger lingers in the air, bitter and sharp, reflecting not only sorrow but a certain disillusionment. Here, the past is no longer viewed with rose-colored glasses but with a seething awareness that the beauty was always intertwined with something darker.

"Glass River" is the moment when the past is both held close and released. It is a place where nostalgia is not just a source of pain but also a vehicle for anger, a river of memories that shatters against the rocks of the present, breaking the illusion of beauty and revealing something far more jagged.

Glass River

The first breath of a storm—"Dandelion" marks the moment when sorrow begins to transform into something sharper. A song built from two voices: one of heartache and yearning, the other of scorn and indifference. Whispers, the voice that once cradled a soul in love, now twists that affection into disdain. The song pulls the listener through waves of regret and longing, each note heavy with the weight of unspoken words, before slowly giving way to a quiet, yet undeniable pride. Acceptance begins to take root, but it’s tainted by arrogance, the bitterness of someone who has both suffered and come to terms with that suffering—but refuses to be broken by it. "Where would you be without me?" Whispers asks, cold and confident, its words heavy with both accusation and a dark sense of power.

As the first movement, "Dandelion" is a collision of vulnerability and defiance, where the soul teeters between love lost and the quiet arrogance of survival. It is a moment suspended in time—neither pure surrender nor complete rebellion, but the fragile space in between, where pain is both a burden and a weapon.

Dandelion

“Shadows In Bloom” is the quiet reckoning at the end of the journey. Detached from the emotions that once defined it, the song looks back on the evolution of Whispers—from a shade born of sadness and longing to a force that has given rise to many others. Here, the shadows no longer feel like mere echoes of what once was; they have taken root, bloomed into something far more complex and endless. What began as a reflection of shattered dreams, the weight of unspoken grief, has become a tapestry of fleeting, fragile things—each shadow a piece of something lost but never forgotten.

The song moves through the imagery of the glade, the forest, the void, and the lantern, all fading into one continuous existence. It’s both a closing and an opening, an understanding that everything—love, loss, pride, longing—has given rise to something new. The shadows exist because Whispers did. And in their quiet bloom, they mark the beginning of countless other stories, born from a single, unfulfilled desire.

Lyrics:

Moonlight traces a broken clock,
Echoes whisper like an endless talk.
Lucid eyes in a shattered dream
Fade away to an endless stream.

Shooting stars meet the void’s embrace,
Stardust tumbles from the twilight’s face
Chasing pulses of broken gleam
That dissolve in a crimson steam.

Flowers mirror the memory pale
Lilac branches form a moonlit veil.
Teardrops spill like molten glass
And stain the world they cannot pass.

We bloom in the dark where shadows play,
Woven in light that's pulled away.
Electric skies spark our gloom,
Dancing alive, we're shadows in bloom.

Embers bearing polluted air,
Midnight wishes vanish into despair.
Velvet clouds veil the dance of stars,
A heart collecting eternal scars

Let the river shine, reflecting the night,
Make the heart of the glade a fading light
Fireflies daydream of a fleeting date,
Incinerating the shy cascade.

We bloom in the dark where shadows play,
Woven in light that's pulled away.
Electric skies ignite our gloom,
Dancing alive, we're shadows in bloom.

We bloom in the dark where shadows play,
Woven in light that's pulled away.
Electric skies ignite our gloom,
Dancing alive, we're shadows in bloom.

We bloom in the dark where shadows play,
Woven in light that's pulled away.
Collapsing dreams ignite our gloom,
Dancing alive, we're shadows in bloom.

Urban Movements Podcast by Silence Groove - November 2025

ENG - This is an excerpt. Due to publishing and label agreements, I cannot upload full tracks on SoundCloud.
You can listen to the complete version for free on Bandcamp.

First movement of Oltre le note. The piece introduces the core compositional idea: a continuous alternation between the two hands, from which melodic fragments emerge naturally — not as traditional melodies, but as thematic shapes born from the physical motion of the pianist. The material is not sung: it rises and disappears inside the gesture.

ITA - Questo è un estratto. A causa di accordi editoriali e discografici, non posso caricare le versioni integrali su SoundCloud.
Puoi ascoltare gratuitamente la versione completa su Bandcamp.

Primo movimento di Oltre le note.
Qui viene presentata l’idea compositiva centrale: un’alternanza continua delle due mani, dalla quale emergono frammenti melodici — non pensati come linee tradizionali, ma come forme tematiche che nascono dal movimento fisico del pianista. Il materiale non “canta”: affiora e scompare dentro il gesto.

Terzo movimento. Uno spazio onirico che riprende il materiale del primo movimento, trasformandolo attraverso leggere variazioni frequenziali e cambi timbrici. Il brano procede verso uno svanire progressivo — una lenta dissolvenza in cui i gesti si alleggeriscono fino a far scomparire l’intera opera.

This page is me dabbling with songwriting

I’m a composer, songwriter, arranger, orchestrator, orchestra & choir conductor, music producer, mentor, writer, and researcher.
My work moves freely across different forms of expression — from Progressive Rock and Modern Symphony to Classical Piano, Songwriting, and Cinematic Music.
Over the years, I’ve shared projects with remarkable artists — including collaborations with Francesco Di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso — and composed original scores for film, television, and symphonic productions that have reached international audiences.
As a mentor and educator, I’ve created the ANORA method, together with formative paths and musical laboratories exploring music as a uniquely human language — expressive, relational, and representative of inner experience.
In my poetic vision, sound itself becomes an image — a mental landscape that connects the composer’s inner vision with the listener’s imagination.
Each work blends tradition and innovation through orchestral writing, progressive structures, and storytelling soundscapes.
Every “side” of my music reflects a different perspective — all parts of the same creative vision.

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life as well as a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer, as far as I'm concerned, our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*
