Leon Gray presents his song cycle, Kō Āhau Anake (I Am Alone), performed in Te Reo (Maori). This deeply sad, four-movement work explores grief with rich Romantic, dramatic harmony combined with well-crafted vocal lines and thick piano figures. Written to bring a tear to any eye, if you've loved and lost, this work will speak to you, through the rich vowels of maori language.

In Movement 3, "He Aha Ahau" (Why), to make themselves feel better, the singer jokes that their lost one was actually not always easy to love and quite annoying sometimes; asking "Why did I love you?".

01 Kō Āhau Anake (Baritone)

This is a rendition of a song I have not released (yet). I first wanted to name this piece “Search For Inner Light (Angels Singing Humanity's Dirge)” but that sounded too heavy and fatalistic. The piece consists mainly of a droning bass and voices so I made an anagram that fitted the piece; Void Encore (made of the words ‘voice’ and ‘drone’).

Search For Inner Light (Void Encore)

A beautifu,l majestic, classical esq , instrumental which wanders solemnly towards it's sorrowful tear-jerking end

Wandering The Astral Realms Of Eternity (Instrumental)

The state of lamenting whilst stuck in the seemingly endless cycle of depressive thought patterns = "Lamental". Recorded back in 2004. IPI: 01253524079 ISRC: AU-Q1H-25-00010

Lamental

“Every human being is entitled to happiness, but no one is entitled to be happy all the time.”
Forgetting your umbrella is part of the plan for such a fitting piece. Let the rain pour with this heartbreaking acoustic melody.

Drowned Echoes

a little something that I couldn't help create because of finneas' beautiful score for 'disclaimer'...it could never match the soul of his music but it was fun connecting each pattern to the next!

the day that never arrived

I wrote this song whilst getting ready for my night shift at the hospital.

Night Shift

six feet from my window pane a ladys jogging by
some guys walking his dog and the days turning to night 
six feet from my face I got a view of eloise 
theres everything to do down the corner of that street 

all the people that I'll meet and all that I can be 
six feet from my face but it all seems so far away
I lust for you no more sweet girl lost in the modern age 
So many things to do and yet theyre all so fucking lame 

and it feels like its the end is this all Im gonna be 
dweeb a fag a freak the hermit stuck on eloise 
cause if tommorow comes youll still be taking care of me 
dont wanna see your stupid kid out living on the street

As Ämpers@nd I am producing (largely but not always intentionally) melancholic and dark-sounding ambient and soundscapes. Occasionally I produce chill and relaxing (almost meditative) songs and (experimental) electronic music.

All astrophotography pictures (galaxies, nebula's and stars) I have used are made (and owned) by Bob Reijnders. For more awesome pictures check his website: https://astro.bobreijnders.nl/. 
All other photo's are taken and edited by me.

Calida grew up in Boorloo (Perth)⁠ — Whadjuk Noongar Country (Western Australia), singing along to her parent’s folk, country and pop records. She began playing guitar at 12 years old and started writing and composing songs at 13. She also gained some classical and contemporary singing training in her teens and mid-20s. 
Calida started performing her music live at 16 yrs old, as well as being included on a local compilation album, with her song, “I Need More”, the same year. That song was played on Triple J, along with an interview. Her song “Envious Eyes” was included in a compilation album called “Alternative Energies Arts Collective”, as well as “Sugar and Honey” and “Waste of Time” on “The Beige Album” compilation the following year.
At 20 yrs old, Calida moved to Melbourne to pursue music and acting, where she won the Grace Darling Hotel song competition in 2001. She briefly sang and co-wrote with Melbourne band, Pout. Autistic burnout struck 2 years later and she reluctantly decided to quit acting and moved to London for a year.  
She returned to Perth in 2005 and continued pursing music. Calida won the Step-Up song competition that same year. In 2006, her song “Lamental” was included in a local compilation album, “Rocky Blues, Vol. 3”. That same year, Autistic burn out struck again, forcing Calida to reluctantly decide to take a break from performing. 
Finding full-time work increasingly too demanding with her undiagnosed disabilities, to be able continue with creating and performing her music simultaneously, she only started writing and composing music again in 2023. Being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, autism and ADHD, and finally being given some of the correct supports, gave Calida the capacity to begin creating music again. Though her chronic pain conditions and autism prove performing live very difficult, Calida focuses on her songwriting and recording as a form of activism.
