Lyrics:

Written by Emaline Delapaix  

When the light falls, and the bear sleeps. And the river grows colder, day by day.  Beneath, the creatures start to slow down, cooling blood and one last breath!  Before winter takes her hold. Ruling over all below, day by day. The cool it swallows up the earth, and lazy grey skies like blankets.  Wrap us up, and give us time to reflect. So we can rest our bones and reset.  Ooooh…  As the sun, she takes her light away. And with time the moon becomes the king, day by day. He throws his cloak, across the sky, as passing birds they swim the divide.  As a chill creeps down from the poles. Trees and flowers return to seed, day by day. The cool it swallows up the earth, and lazy grey skies like blankets.  Wrap us up, and give us time to reflect. So we can rest our bones, and reset.  Ooooh…  Geese meditate in their airstream, moving south. Hundreds of miles away. While I’m mourning the heavy weight of life. When it’s time to let go. Piece by piece, let it go. Piece by piece, let it go.   When the light falls and the bear sleeps. And the river grows colder, day by day.  The cool it swallows up the earth, and lazy grey skies like blankets.  Wrap us up, and give us time to reflect. So we can rest our bones and reset.  Wrap us up, and give us time to reflect. So we can rest our bones…

i downloaded a fucking nyckelharpa soundfont to give proper respect to the Swemish culture and it made MuseScore crash on the first install attempt. i think that's a hate crime, because it happened to me and i hated it.

made and mastered in MuseScore 4.5 and Audacity.

Nail-Biting Discursive Combat! (RCBG)

Miri it is

After a bit of a break, and because this one has been burning a hole in my musical pocket, time to upload a new tune...bit of a hybrid of folk and electro...

Enjoy as always 

string thing

How about some Nordic influenced Folktronica? Been working on this one for a bit. Nyckelharpa is such an amazing instrument.

Kettle hiss. Wobbling chair.
Radiator ticks a crooked pair.
Drips find a lane—steady.
Boots on the mat give back rain.
Thumbnail scores a narrow line.
Your steps—hallway spine.
What we couldn’t say, we set in time.
Light switch clicks. Ready sign.

Hands flat. Listen. Measure is small.
Hold the room steady—follow the fall.
Name every seam the day tore open.
Sew it shut on the offbeat’s turn.

Stamp.
Count me in — two and four.
Heel to the floor — keep it lean.
Say what you mean in the space between.
Stamp.
If yesterday calls, let it lose its claim.
I move with the pattern your hands just made.
I’ll stay where your rhythm’s found.

Two and four — stamp it clean
Heel to the floor — keep it lean
Say what you mean in the space between
Two and four, two and four (two and four!)

Loose screw rattles in the laundry spin.
Pencil-stub list; thumb-smudged grin.
You laugh off-key—lands just right.
Fiddle on the wall warms into night.
We leave a pocket where trouble might grow.
Half-beat back. Let it flow.
What holds is grain. And glue.
Say it in rhythm; I’ll answer you.

Hands flat. Listen. Measure is small.
Hold the room steady—follow the fall.
Name every seam the day tore open.
Sew it shut on the offbeat’s turn.

Downbeat.
Count me in — two and four.
Heel to the floor — keep it lean.
Say what you mean in the space between.
Downbeat.
If yesterday calls, let it lose its claim.
I move with the pattern your hands just made.
I’ll stay where your rhythm’s found.

Old nail taps in the porch-rail breeze.
Train two streets over bends the keys.
Bare feet count the knot in the floor.
Leave what you can’t sing—ask the drum for more.

Stamp. 
Count me in — two and four.
Heel to the floor — keep it lean.
Say what you mean in the space between.
Stamp.
If it’s real, let it carry your name.
I move with the pattern your hands just made.
I’ll stay where your rhythm’s found.

Two and four — stamp it clean
Heel to the floor — keep it lean
Say what you mean in the space between
Two and four, two and four

Two and Four

Inspired by the Grizzly Hills area music in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, which made use of the Nyckelharpa. 

Broken Orange Leaves

Unique atmostpheric rock/metal infused with Norwegian folk music.

I am a songwriter, singer, pianist and I play a Swedish instrument called nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle). I live in the north of Sweden. I produce all my music at home in my small studio. I mostly compose alternative pop or alternative folk music. I also enjoy making fantasy inspired music. 

I'm a producer, singer and guitarist.

Emaline Delapaix is an Australian singer songwriter that writes emotional, haunting and ethereal folk/pop songs for piano, acoustic guitar and celtic harp. Some say she sounds a little like Kate Bush or Tori Amos, but she also loves a lot of Scandinavian music: music that invokes the weather like storms and warm sunsets. Her lyrics explore the human condition and thoughtful themes such as mental health, mindfulness, ancestors, chronic illness, love, animal welfare, women's empowerment, travel/adventure and healing nature. After a difficult year in 2010, Emaline decided to quit her day job in Toronto Canada and moved to an isolated fixed caravan in rural Eastern Germany, close to the Polish border where she taught herself to play 3 instruments and lived for a year and half before settling in Berlin as a full time musician. Since that time she has performed over 500 shows all over Europe, UK, Australia and Canada, creating a dedicated following and becoming well known for her genuine and passionate live performances. Most recently Emaline moved to North Yorkshire after becoming chronically ill for two years with a break in music, seeking a quieter life with her Leeds born partner Lukas who also accompanies her at many concerts. Aside from music, Emaline also runs an online vintage shop called 'Wild Finds' selling wild and whimsical treasures from Germany/Scandinavia/UK, she loves foraging and herbal medicine and is also a vegan who regularly gives a % of her CD sales to local animal shelters while out on the road.

Looking for distribution and international booking agents. I am also available for paid work in electronic/other music including writing/singing.
