This is a recording from June of last year (2024). I didn't upload it back then because I couldn't get over the crackling audio glitches that pop in and out throughout the track. I pushed my CPU to the max on this one and unfortunately the audio got affected. Regardless, there is some good stuff in here that made me reconsider uploading. Shout out to my cousin Kevin for the sample choice. He also loves amazing and obscure vinyl and recommended the album that was sampled. Thanks for listening ✌️

Crackle Pop

This is a one-take sketch, captured in a quiet moment of reflection around the holidays. How Do We End is a song about grief, memory, and the way time stretches when someone you love is missing. It's for anyone who's ever tried to keep someone close by singing to the sky. I miss you. I love you. I hope you're still listening. Thanks for being here.

Cause I just know when we fall 
we know that we'll go back
To the places that bring us home
And I know that when you sing
To the ones you've lost tonight
Just tell them you love them, you miss them
Happy holidays, I wish you were here with me
One more year without you
Don't know what I'll do if I went without you again
And two more tears fall for you as I tell you stories of my life
And how it ends
How did we end
Oh how do we end

How Do We End

It was a day after electro party made by my Zagreb elektro combat team ZabregAlienz...i was still buzzing, sitting in my studio room, machines turned on from friday jamming... started to play with Oberheim matrix 6, and in half hour, i had this groove going! So this track was born, made on private after party, made for sundays and day afters.. Enjoy! LVX-2

Track mastered by: Sensorium.

LVX-2 - AfterAlienz

Raw one-take ukulele cover. I heard “Maps” the other morning, learned it, and hit record. 
Some songs stop being just songs. They end up in my anatomy instantly.

It's hard for me to recognize how much music feels like it is just a part of who I am, to the point that I can admit I have more capacity than I've let myself believe.

I've only been playing the ukulele since February of 2025. I had only heard this song once, and within an hour, I recorded it. Yeah, I'm patting myself on the back because even though it's not perfect, it's real and I did it, and I. FELT. IT - and music is MEANT to -

*make you feel*

Speechless v2 (Original by Michael Jackson)[Vocal version]

Is it sorrow, or is it warmth?
Has it vanished, or does it still linger?
I ask within, and eventually, the sound reflects the answer.

An piano improvisation from a single day. One take.
And also, a sound that resonates with memory.

Piano improvisation: Breath of Sound

A lo-fi upright piano confessional, captured like a single late-night pass. Close-mic’d female alto-chest -warm with a hint of grain- sits just behind the beat, leaning on long vowels, gentle scoops, and a narrow vibrato that blooms late. Felt-pedal upright, bench creaks, and room air are part of the texture. One modest swell mid-song, then a return to hush. No drums, no bass, no synths-just voice and keys, unpolished and human, fading into quiet.

[LYRICS]

Lost and found. Funny Place.
You never know till you do.

I’ll be your umbrella when the sky lets go,
I’ll be your glasses when the world’s a blur.
I’ll be your small lighter when the power’s out,
Your calm in the thunder when you’re full of doubt.

They say what’s lost ain’t always gone.
Sometimes it waits to lean on.

I’m your lost and found when the world spins round,
A friend at your side when you’re feeling down.
Button for your coat when it will not close,
The flower you pressed in a book no one knows.

That one glove you lost, yes sir, I’m her.
I’ll be your map when you lose your street.
That lucky coin waiting under your seat.
I’ll be your charger when your spark runs weak.

I’ve been forgotten and I’ve worn some dust,
Still I’m your mirror when you need to trust.

I’m your lost and found when the world spins round,
Come find me again when you’re feeling down.
I was yours all along, just out of sight.

Just out of sight.

Lost and Found (One Room, One Take)

Ken Becker is a self-taught master cellist and luthier, who used to be a hiking hermit in the woods of the Santa Cruz mountains here in California. Ken hiked and carried everywhere a full-size cello through the hills and woods perfecting Bach to the point the whole cello had to be duck-taped together from all the wears and tears.

Ken Becker here is playing Bach Sarabande Suite Per Violoncello nº 1 on this one's 5-string low "F" electric cello after he made some mods to the cello. Ken adjusted playing this Bach piece to utilize the lowest "F" string on the cello... so if not mistaken its in the key of "C" instead the usual Key of "G" which honestly if one can read sheet music can readily do just shifting one string over but yeah Ken plays it so masterfully so beautifully .

F'n Bach'n C by Ken Becker Self-Taught Master Cellist & Luthier

Na noite de quinze de novembro,
o teu olhar prendeu-se ao fio de ouro.
Não era a primeira vez,
pois já noutra vida mo tinhas confiado —
baliza secreta da tua alma,
promessa guardada para o reencontro.

Entre mil passos e mil vozes,
o fio voltou a brilhar,
abrindo-te o caminho de regresso a mim.

E quando a tua alma o reconheceu,
soube com a força do eterno
que eu era tua desde sempre,
e serei tua para sempre.

O fio da lembrança

O fio da lembrança

✨ Music & words i've been only sharing with paper or keyboards my entire life.
ready to express the raw feelings even if it's scary.

🤍 if you feel it, share it.

Music has always been my home, my safe place, and the language I know how to speak even when my mouth doesn't work. I don't know why, but I feel the most comfortable when I'm on a stage singing. It's like the world falls away.

19 year old music freak! I make music you have to think too hard about. (Raw, lyric/story-heavy)

While i'm not musically perfect yet, consider following along/listening to my music a "long term investment"! If you like the vibe, it should only get better! 

I happen to be neurodivergent, with a special interest in music, so I'm probably doing this for life! I couldn't imagine anything else!

Just a man who like to sing :) live-style, no processing.

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.

Blurring music and noise... freely finding the flow. All freestyle live one-take tracks/sets. 1il (One-il) mainly on a 5-string low "F" Ergo electric cello and also on zither, alone accompanied and also friend's solo too. Lo-Fi recordings. Best to adjust levels. Most tracks best with Treble slight Down and Bass and Volume levels UP for proper feelz.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a lifetime music junkie that began making beats in 2019. My weapon of choice is the Native Instruments Maschine MK3. Every track posted is a live recording without a DAW or automation. I come from a background of scratching records, so I feel a need to be hands on. All tracks were created in a freestyle manner without premeditation. Part of my process is to record what I have before ending the session. The tracks here are those session recordings. They may not be perfect, but I feel they all capture some part of my soul. I hope you enjoy. One love✌️

Howdy! I’m Alexander Rivers, a songwriter, guitarist, and student of voice. These are raw, one-take sketches recorded on my phone whenever I pick up a guitar. I’m finding my sound, stretching into something new, just truth in the moment. I'm working on a more polished version of these songs (and others) to put in an album one day.

Some of these songs reflect hard things, grief, loss, mental health. If you’re already carrying something heavy, and these songs speak to it, please know you’re not alone. Music is how I process pain, maybe it helps you too.
