cool production skills in use here, awesome and unpredictable !!!

GREAT sounds!! Love the warped tape feel here!

Thats a mesmerising beat!  The flourishes of synth over the top work a treat with it!

All kinds of noisy and awesome. Like an incredible car wreck: can’t look away.

Very interesting. Very well stitched. Nice and out there but still holds it's self together  👌🏽🧬🎶

I accidentally ripped-off Aphrodite and QED (Aladdin). Genuine mistake, but one which I was both unwilling and unable to rectify. Forgiveness, please.

"I Just Can't Live Without You" (demo v1)

A short demo song made on September 5, 2024, still under development, e.g. lacking a second verse, bridge and modulation etc. Since the name "Never Gonna Give You Up" is already taken I have to think of another one:) One possible alternative could be "I Just Can't Live Without You". This tune came into my mind when thinking about the chords and progressions in my earlier song "Peace".

This was made and played by me using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V (Horns), UVI Ultramini & Arturia Mini-V (Moog bass sound) and UVI PX Memories (cf. Memorymoog mod).

Mastered on Ozone 11.

I'm certainly not a lyricist, but the idea here was that the lyrics in the chorus would be something like this:

I'm never gonna let you down [etc.]
- - -
I'm always gonna bring you up / I'm always gonna cheer you up
- - -
Im never gonna let you down
- - -
I just can't live without you
....

I Just Can't Live Without You (demo v1)

Lyrics and vocal: TaNezha (Tetyana Nizhynska)
Music and production : Andrii Averin

English translation:
I will draw you forests
where the path leads into the distance
and the brightest thoughts shimmer in the sun's rays.
Birds will catch them on their wings
and take to the Black Sea.
There are no fears,
only the wind rustles in the waves,
and ships are sailing far beyond the horizon 
and there will never be a war.

Just for fun. 

I shared a rehearsal space in the basement of Westbeth Artist Housing (please see the photo) in the late 70’s. This music has to do with my dream-memory of the place.

The basement was labyrinthine. Until a few years ago, I still had recurring dreams of that environment. It was constructed of grey painted cinder block or some such stony material. There were many bands in many rooms down there, and as you walked the halls you’d hear all the musics leaking out from under steel doors in cacophony. Often you’d hear the band in the next cell right through your own stone wall as you were playing. That made it hard to record in there. We did it anyway. 

The sonic qualities of this recording remind me of those hallways as do some of the somewhat antiquated guitar moves. And by the way, I love antiquated guitar moves!

Am I alone in the dark 

I can't sleep and i walk in the dark in a park; Am i alone?
i see a stranger on a bench sleeping.... with a bottle of vodka...

method: guitar, pedals, voice, audacity
narration: just what the poem says (okay, offering a clue to toying with the clew: there is light - lux - as the main topic here, things you can and cannot perceive, that might and might not be at all - beyond mere appearances. Remember, however, how a haiku works - surprise overcomes you in the last line, not the one before that which still sets the natural and supernatural scene, no matter the momentum of tension it builds! - ... and, of course, a bow to a certain British poet's perspective on totemism might be in the cards as well ;-)
