A favorite song of mine for several years, now, it has taken all this time for my instrumental abilities (drums, in particular) to be up-to-snuff.

My initial intent was to record the original Icelandic version of this song, „Tedrukkinn", as it appears on the 1981 EP „Iður til Fóta", however with no way of ascertaining a credible transcription of the Icelandic lyrics, I was relegated to the secondary English version, "Are You Still There?", released on "As Above...", the foreign-audience edition of „Mjötvíður Mær".
Owning a rare vinyl copy which includes the inner sleeve, I was able to verify these lyrics...

Your life did leave you behind
So long ago that you don't care, anymore
This silly show that you
Have given in exchange for your mind and soul
Is so boring that sleep seems the only way out of itself
You've even stopped thinking about it

I wonder
if there is still
a little of you
left inside

Gotcha Covered

Are You Still There?/Tedrukkinn (Þeyr) [Cover]

On Slave de Dandy Guts - Sortie le 21 mars 2022  - Clip video & Production : Dandy Guts

Le titre « On Slave » est une chanson qui emprunte des codes minimalistes pour décrire un mode de vie actuel où la culture anglo-saxonne est prédominante dans notre vie quotidienne et formate nos façons de penser. Sinon, robotisation, deshumanisation, désinformation, pollution, alerte climatique, extrémismes, despotismes, pandémies, menace nucléaire, voila un monde dangereux où l’individualisme triomphe et où il fait de moins en moins bon vivre.

On Slave

Tribute : Sorti le 6 mai  2022 - Clip video & Production : Dandy Guts

Tribute est un titre instrumental (Folk Pop) qui fait référence aux prises de conscience et de parole pendant la guerre du Vietnam lors d’évènements marquants, telle que la marche en faveur des droits civiques et le Festival de Woodstock (Août 1969). Une génération lasse des conflits, des guerres et des discriminations et qui avait soif d’idéal, rêvait d’une utopie. Égalité des chances, mixité, diversité, droits des femmes à disposer de leur corps, respect de la planète, société centrée sur l'humain, autant de sujets qui sont remis en cause de nos jours.

Tribute

Présidents : Sorti le 14 juillet 2022 - Clip video & Production : Dandy Guts & Dessins : Y.K

Après « On Slave », titre Electro Funk sorti le 16 avril, évoquant notre dépendance à la technologie qui a une fâcheuse tendance à faire de nous des esclaves et une influence anglo-saxonne  grandissante sur nos modes de vie et de pensée. Après « Tribute », un titre instrumental Folk Pop, sorti le 6 mai, rendant hommage à la lutte en faveur des droits civiques, à la lutte contre les discriminations, aux grands rassemblements populaires en faveur de la paix tels que le festival de Woodstock d’août 1969, aux avancées sociales et au le droit des femmes à disposer de leur corps. Deux titres qui ont été mixés par Benny Steele ingénieur chez Atlantic Records, le titre Folk Pop « Présidents », sorti le 14 juillet, revient sur un climat politique français qui, depuis une cinquantaine d’années, aura connu des temps forts de partage et de joie mais qui aura, également, généré tristesse, déception, défiance à l'égard du pouvoir. Un titre mixé et masterisé par Sam Wheat qui durant 10 ans a été ingénieur en chef aux Metropolis Studio London et qui a, notamment, mixé les concerts d’héritage des Rolling Stones, couvrant 40 ans de leur carrière.

Cooper Lake is a ghost story. In this poem written by Justine Marzack, they tell of an encounter they had in a haunted mansion on the shores of Cooper Lake, in Upstate New York. When memories overwhelm us and we are in denial, it’s a part of ourselves that ends up haunting us.

Gate 166

« Des textes forts, élégamment, désespérés et ironiquement, subversifs, dans l'esprit du temps et la sincérité du tempérament. Des textes mis en musique qui plongent dans l’univers obsessionnel d’un être humain déboussolé, perdu dans un monde factice ». « Un univers désenchanté d’un sarcasme enjoué ».

We blend guitars with electronic sounds. Debut EP available now!
Chyldren is:
Justine Marzack (vocals)
Victor Jaquier (guitar, bass, synths, drum programming)
Jacques Viredaz (guitar, bass)
David Haldimann (drums)
Alexis Michallek (live synths)

Here is where my covers can be found, along with the best music from my most talented compatriots.
Original music is on my Bandcamp page. Also on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, Apple Music, and many more services worldwide.

His diversified "progressive" approach to music allows Flavio to create unique pieces. On the one hand, his love for soundtracks gives his music an aura of majesty and solemnity, while the captivating tones of synth-pop and funk, assimilated in recent years, resonate his strong devotion to electronic music.

Flavio Calaon was born and grew up in Ticino, Switzerland, near the latent city of Lugano. Here the 28-year-old curly-haired artist has been devoted for years to music through various forms and collaborations.

It all began in the 90s, when, to the detriment of his family, he persistently watched with fascination the classic Disney "Fantasia" and immersed himself with great emotion in his mother's excellent vinyl collection, often listening to the demanding sounds of Vivaldi and Mozart to name a few. Then came the first Casio keyboard, which became the instrument that catapulted Flavio into the ravishing world of musical expression.

At the age of 14, continuing the self-taught path of keyboard composition, he joined the local band movement with the trombone and ended up composing two pieces entitled "La passeggiatina di Lucifero" and "Leponti". Although Flavio was often immersed in the classical and orchestral scene, his curiosity for other genres and approaches gradually began to take a more concrete form. 
In fact, between 2013 and today, he launched several projects like his first band "Animal's Factory", initially a metal group with symphonic tones, which then transformed into progressive rock/metal with social themes.
Then the "Electronic Synthesizer Lab", an "open-doors" workshop created for lovers of synthesis and now open to other forms of art; and finally the Synth and drums Duo "Flanard" which, inspired by retro Sci-fi and superheroes, brought Dance music with an epic setting.

Today, while he continues to work towards the prestigious title of wind instruments’ conductor, his artistic expression keep spreading in different directions: as a solo artist and composer for his own pieces and as a member of the bands "Shindo" (avant-garde electronic) and "Sofsky" (indie-pop/post-rock).
