Big thanks to @zalixor for letting me remix his banger!
The temple demands a new song. This is "The Curator's Lament (Temple Remix)." 🎶 Immerse yourself in the haunting pulse of this unique World Fusion track, where the ghost of a shakuhachi meets the soul of a fretless jazz bass and Gamelan metallic percussion – a cinematic descent into a sacred, terrifying ceremony. Are you ready to begin the rite?

The Curator’s Lament (Temple Remix)

Instrumental fusion of strings, oud, bamboo flute, and world percussion. Orchestral textures meet desert folk rhythms.

Dance of the Desert Oasis

A Marrakesh-inspired liquid Drum and Bass track with ethereal pads, rolling sub-bass, and shimmering darbouka rhythms. Incorporate airy flutes,  reverb-drenched oud melodies for a mirage-like journey through the desert at sunset.

The Tiki  Lounge Remix #436 - Part 1_mixdown

Someone I Used To Know

[Intro]
Shall I tell you a story?
His story. 
One inked on to a tether
The strongest of sails,
 through all manner of weather.

For the eternity I have lived
There he was,
The final foothold I believed.

[Break]

[Verse 1]
We found a ladder.
Root-made, not steel.
Bark for knuckles,
sap on the heel.

[Break]
You named it “Cathedral.”
I mouthed “Let’s see.”
Pockets of acorns.
Breath of the tree.

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I counted creaks.
You counted rings.
I clutched the trunk.
You tried your wings.

[Chorus]
Elijah, up there,
calm as a psalm.
I whisper “Careful.”
You answer “Calm.”

[Break]
You say “I can touch it,
blue on my brow.”
Miles, and miles,
all happening now.

[Break-Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Knots like commas.
We paused. You didn’t.
I footnoted weather.
You leafed the sentence.

[Break]
A jay kept rhythm.
A sparrow kept time.
Your laugh; a compass.
My heartbeat; chimes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then; branch grammar.
One word: crack.
I fell to margins.
You held the stack.

[Break]

[Chorus]
Elijah, up there
quiet as light.
I beg the branch.
You bless the height.
“You feel it?” you ask me.
“I do,” I grin.
Sky on your knuckles.
Wind on your skin.

[Break]
Dirt on my elbows.
Grace on your grin.
Ground says “Stay.”
Air says “Begin.”

[Verse 3]
Years grew taller.
Bills grew bark.
We traded sap for
keys and cards.
Yet every problem
turns limb, turns leaf.
I hear you laughing,
above my grief.

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
“Trust the rung,
not the rumor,” you say.
“Risk is a ladder.
Climb anyway.”

[Chorus]
Elijah, up there,
stillness for days.
You hum to thunder.
I learn your ways.
“Look, no panic,”
you call through sky.
“Top leaves listen.
Fear walks by.”

[Break-Instrumentation]

[Break]

[Bridge]
When nights get knotted,
I braid your name.
I climb in memory,
you light the frame.
The trunk remembers.
Our sneakers know.
We were two echoes
one told to go.

[Break]

[Final Chorus]
Elijah, up there,
steady as prayer.
I say “Be careful.”
You say “I’m there.”
“Here with the skyline.
Here with the hush.”
Miles upon miles
heartbeats of hush.

[Break]

[Outro]
Shall I tell it?
I always do.
A tree, a dare,
a better view.
I stayed lower.
You kept on.
Top leaf, brother,
carry me on.

Carry me on...

[Outro]
[Humming]

This adrenaline-fueled EP captures the raw electricity of Chicago's South Side transplanted to India's most chaotic celebrations—five tracks of unrelenting intensity where lightning strikes, rapids fury, and thunderheads merge into a cyclonic whirlwind of cross-cultural musical aggression.

Thunderhead

Cyclone Spin

Rapids Fury

Lightning Strike

Electric Ganges Rush

A portrait of quiet elegance.
Farah Pahlavi, young, surrounded by the textures of Iranian heritage.
This track blends Persian melodic intervals with modern western movement, a meeting of past and future.
Not nostalgia.
A reminder of what beauty can be when confidence is gentle.

World Fusion Oud Downtempo + Afro Tribal_by Capoon

TKCen is more than a musician; he is a world-builder and sonic philosopher. His music charts a course along the razor's edge between resilience and collapse, crafting atmospheric soundscapes that are as tense as they are beautiful. Each track is an exploration - of the strength it takes to hold on and the fragile moment when things fall apart.

His sound is a study in dynamic contrast, navigating seamlessly from the intense, driving energy of industrial metal to the hauntingly beautiful and ethereal. This is not just a stylistic choice; it is a reflection of his core philosophy. In the powerful, structured beats, one can hear the Stoic 'Inner Citadel' - a fortress of resilience. In the delicate, glitchy textures and atmospheric melodies, there's a 'Wabi-Sabi' appreciation for the beauty found in imperfection.

This is not background music. It is an invitation for the deep listener - for those who have faced challenges and find solace not in simple answers, but in the honest exploration of complex emotions. If you’re looking for music that feels real, that grapples with the tension of being human, and that ultimately finds a strange beauty in the struggle, you have found a home here.

Kaligo is an original musical project born from the meeting of five musicians united by the pursuit of an authentic, boundaryless sound. This quintet blends influences ranging from jazz to world music, with electric nuances, creating a personal and profound sound that defies categorization.

Kaligo tells stories of lived experience, weaving together moments of joy, vulnerability, transformation, and introspection.
Each piece is a journey — within oneself, toward others, or into the universe — in search of meaning and connection.
Music thus becomes a bridge between different worlds, between memory and possibility, between earth and sky.

Kaligo is currently completing the production of their debut album, Walking Lightly on Mother Earth, which is now in the final stages of studio work.

The release is scheduled for autumn.

Kaligo è un progetto musicale inedito nato dall'incontro di cinque musicisti uniti dalla ricerca di un suono autentico e senza conﬁni. La formazione in quintetto fonde inﬂuenze che spaziano dal jazz alla world music e sfumature più elettriche dando vita a un sound personale, profondo e difﬁcilmente incasellabile in un solo genere.
Kaligo racconta storie di vita vissuta, intrecciando momenti di gioia, fragilità, cambiamento e introspezione.
Ogni brano è un viaggio: dentro se stessi, verso l’altro o nell’universo, in cerca di senso e connessione.
La musica diventa così un ponte tra mondi diversi, tra memoria e possibilità, tra terra e cielo. 

I Kaligo stanno concludendo la produzione del loro album di inediti, "Walking Lightly on Mother Earth" attualmente in fase di ﬁnalizzazione in studio.

L’uscita è prevista in autunno. 

Tiziana Baggetta: Voce 
Alessandro Melizzi: Chitarre 
Luca Cresta: Tastiere 
Massimo Trigona: Basso 
Lorenzo Arese: Batteria

I create music in styles and genres I love (and there are a LOT). LOVE experimenting with mixing different genres, styles and instrumentation. If it brings joy to you, that makes me happy.

The music is all created using AI (Copilot and AIMusicGen.AI) and nothing I do is monetized. This is strictly for my (and hopefully your) enjoyment.
