GATHER THE PEOPLE

I think the lyrics speak for themselves,  many of us go through life feeling like a slave to the system, deep down we know there's more to life, shouldn't we be here to work to live not live to work...

Tubular Net 2011 Special Edition Part Two MP3

Please allow me to introduce the first piece of music I created.
It is mostly inspired by the works of Mike Oldfield, but has a bit heavier tone.

The Bell Towers (demo)

Vocals: Marko Broström
Music/Lyrics: Alexander Schwarz

Once again, me and Marko teamed up.  I´m so thankful that Marko "the voice" Broström from Sweden recorded the vocals on this one - great talent, superb voice, cool dude! Thank you very much!!  \m/

Lyrics:
Yes I am - the king of L.A.
I live my life - in opulence
some call me decadent...they´re right
Yes I am  - the king of L.A.
I made my dreams - all come true
the american way...I live

I am overjoyed when I take a walk 
at Venice Beach and have a talk
with Tyra Banks and Lucy Liu
they are my friends 
and love me, too
I write all the hits for Will i.am.
and the  LA Guns
´cause I can
top notch describes my skills
Lindsay Lohan proves
I need no pills
...I don´t need no pills....never, hahaha....

The sunset strip is my home
with the CBGBs and the Rainbow Club
I´ve got the rock chromosome
Tuning Schenker´s guitars is not a shame
I hang out with Slash
I´m in the hall of fame
I feel the wind in my hair
while I´m on my bike down at Malibu Beach
California is fair
Britney Spears is my bride
Megan Fox loves my style, Justin is jealous
and J.Lo wants a ride
Yeah...J.Lo wants a ride...but not on my bike, hahaha...

with Marko Broström   "King Of L.A."   [+lyrics]

OORT CLOUD PROJECT PART I-IX: Composed and Played by David J Svensson 2016. Keyboards, Organ, Electric and Classical Guitars, Drum Pads, Drum Loops. Related to the track 'IGNITION' (see further below). 

An 18 minute instrumental of the 'epic' kind, meaning lots of related parts and self-references, themes developing, as if telling some story, a journey ... A genre I personally very much like, regardless of the actual style of the music. 

The track took more than a year to complete, and hopefully evokes images of a vast and abstract project taking place far beyond our sphere of influence, beyond our control and original intentions...  

Such were the thoughts of the day-dreaming composer while working on this suite :)

The initial inspiration came from the rather simple but quite amazing fact that the outermost region of our solar system goes as far out as one light year (or even further). Totally out-of-reach for us, with our current technology...  

Just imagine some grand project with trajectory to Oort Cloud ... A relic from Earth, an anomaly in the Solar System, finally at target after 12000 years. 

OORT CLOUD PROJECT is not a guitar piece and so features rather few lead guitars.. Instead I have opted for a 'colder' sound, with all those montone sequencers and church organs responsible for unfolding the story. There are however (I couldn't resist to add) lots of supporting guitars, hidden or integrated withing the mix.  

Some of this work lead to collaborations with https://soundcloud.com/tolubai: "Silence" and "Ignition".  Special Thx to him for many greatly inspiring discussions and co-work on the spin-offs tracks! We decided to work on shorter segments, for no other reason than both having a limited amount of time for composing. (Here, I use a reworked segment of "Ignition" for opening up the suite, the first burn initiated, escaping Earth ... I had to use it again, since it contains material that I develop further downstreams. Bonus points for correctly identifying all such events ;)). 

Special Thx to HIBERNOLOGY (https://soundcloud.com/user-778034516) for kindly giving useful feedback on a draft version, and for a lot of support.

Thanks for listening/commenting - very much appreciated.

ps. I lost some files in a computer chrash earlier this year; therefore, (in some sections) I had to work with surviving WAV files rather than the actual 64-bit DAW data files... As a result, the sound quality isn't as good as I hoped for. My appologies for this, and in the future I will constantly backup all files in a truly paranoid fashion. The wonderful irony that a technological disaster occured in the middle of this work ;)

PARADISE UNKNOWN
by jeff rauschl
© 2011

ANOTHER SUNSET
BY THE OCEAN
ANOTHER DAY IS DONE
PALM TREES SWAYING
BY THE WATER
WAVE GOODBYE TO THE SUN

I DON'T KNOW HOW I
ENDED UP HERE
THIS ISN'T MY HOME
THIS PARADISE UNKNOWN

WASHING DISHES
PARKING CARS
SUN UP TO SUN DOWN
16 HOURS
PASSING TOWELS OUT
TO TOURISTS HAVING FUN

WATCH THE SUNSET
FROM MY BUS SEAT
ON THE WAY TO
MY TRAILER PARK HOME
FROZEN DINNER
ON THE SOFA
WATCHING TV ALL ALONE

DON'T KNOW HOW I
ENDED UP HERE
THIS ISN'T MY HOME
IT'S PARADISE UNKNOWN

THE WORK IS GOOD HERE
IN THE SEASON
TAKING SHIT TO MAKE A BUCK
SPLIT THE TIP JAR
WITH THE BOSS-MAN
AND HE'LL SEE YOU DON'T GET
SCREWED

A PARADISE
OR A PARADOX
IT'S A PARASITE
ON MY SOUL
PAIR ME UP WITH
A PARACHUTE AND
I'LL FLOAT AWAY BACK HOME
THIS PARADISE UNKNOWN
IT'S PARADISE UNKNOWN
(I SUFFER FROM PARALYSIS
IF I HAD A PAIR OF BALLS
I'D LEAVE THIS PLACE)
PARADISE UNKNOWN

Paradise Unknown

This is my tribute to Mike Oldfield.

Dear Mike,

Your music has accompanied me since my childhood, has always meant a lot to me and significantly influenced my life. 

Even before I was born,  sounded in our apartment Tubular Bells, Incantations, The Song of Distance Earth and further of your great albums. It was probably the main reason why I love music so much. Even as a child of four I was trying to imitate playing the guitar and tubular bells, later on I was trying to learn how to play your amazing songs - it was and still it is - my biggest motivation.

As my sincere thanks for all those wonderful moments , spent with listening to and playing your songs, I tried to create, on the occassion of 40th anniversary of the edition of your first album, my own album, with the aim to be at least closer to your songs, despite I know it is probably  an unachievable goal because your guitar and your music is absolutely inimitable, unique and unequaled.

Nevertheless I hope  that I´am at least somewhat successful, and it would be the greatest honor to me, if you could listen to my album and if you find this album at least a little intrigued.

Wishing you a good luck in the coming years and I hope that Prague will see your concert soon!

Sincerely yours,

Jan Havelka,
17 years old
