Some James Taylor influence while still being very much your own artist.  Great music!

Very nice vibe. Love the arrangement. Well done.

This is a lovely piece of work, builds beautifully.

Very beautiful song Thierry! Love the feel, the instrumentation and the vocals and lyrics!

Great voice, great storytelling, just a terrific song 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Negativity, heavy routine, bad news, (intro  sounds) they drill in our souls, we all need some magic dust.

MICKEY 'S TAIL
In the cinema of childhood
one can get bored hard
But sometimes, a lucky moment—
A day at the fairground.
Raising and lowering the plane,
With an easy lever,
The precious rag in our hands,
And our eyes light up.

All our victories are trivial,
But what joy in that sensation,
taking oneself for the hero,
feeling like Santos-Dumont.
I grabbed the Mickey’s tail,
This time , I did it,
Snagged the Grail, the prize,
No more spinning in circles.

At the age of love’s parades,
Turning and dancing in discos,
All the dancers spinning round,
Looking to make a conquest.
beating around the bush
Awkward and clumsy,
when smiles finally meet,
 The ship can sail.

All our stories are temporary,
But what joy in that sensation,
feeling handsome in the mirror,
feeling like Alain Delon.
I grabbed the Mickey’s tail,
This time , I did it,
Snagged the Grail, the prize,
No more spinning in circles.

Life, it’s a true lottery,
The wheel turns and leaves us dizzy
Losers or superheroes,
We swing from laughter to tears.
But when I’m with you,
I’m five years old, I feel that joy
Of a child who’s struck it rich,
Who’s just grabbed the moon 

All our memories are illusions,
But what joy in that sensation,
Skipping alone down the sidewalks,
Feeling like Patrick Dupont.
I grabbed the Mickey’s tail,
This time , I did it,
Snagged the Grail, the prize,
No more spinning in circles.

La queue du Mickey (translated)

Cover in italiano di NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU

RESTERAI

A room of silence, the traces cold,
her final place, so cruel, so old.
But something’s missing, it doesn’t align,
like smoke it fades, what hides the design.

The wounds reveal deception and guile,
the body silent, yet speaks all the while.
The victim is still, but the signs are clear,
the murderer lives—so close, so near.

In every clue, a shadow lies,
her face, her voice—an endless guise.
What’s the truth? What’s the cost?
Will I find what she has lost?

Her final breath—a trick, a deceit,
she fled from death, left the dark incomplete.
But how did she run? How did she defy,
the death that seemed her shadow nearby?

The evidence lies; it pulls me in,
to a story so brutal, so blind, so grim.
Was she the victim? Or the plan she wove?
Her name in blood—but she still roams.

In every clue, a shadow lies,
her face, her voice—an endless guise.
What’s the truth? What’s the cost?
Will I find what she has lost?

The truth is near, but buried so deep,
a riddle that neither forgives nor speaks.
I follow the clues; they scream her name,
the hunter lives, but where is her claim?

In every clue, a shadow lies,
her face, her voice—an endless guise.
What’s the truth? What’s the cost?
Will I find what she has lost?

The dust will settle, but not my soul,
the answers break me, leave me cold.
Two stories meet, but one survives,
the shadows linger where truth thrives.



Deceit

Hi!
I am experimenting with shorter ambient pieces at the moment. It is kinda strange to use so few ideas and sounds in a song, but these kind of challenges are pushing you to new territories you might never see otherwise. 

Expect to see a bunch of new music in this style so i can give you a whole list of music to sleep / chill / study to. : )

Vanishing Waves

All I see along the road
strays and tramps
with no home

and I would die for some company
from east to west
I'm on my own

I just have enough
for some gas and junk
wonder by the end
was it worth enough?

but it's just the same old Anchorage
and I'm lost between
courage and rage
and I wonder if it's not too late
I should've gone in my younger age
but it's just the same old Anchorage

up in the north the road is long
the nights are cold
and the lights are low

the northern lights are the only thing
that make us hope
oh when they glow

let's hope they glow
until I'm gone

but it's just the same old Anchorage
and I'm lost between
courage and rage
and I wonder if it's not too late
I should've gone in my younger age
but it's just the same old Anchorage

but it's just the same old Anchorage
and I'm lost between
courage and rage
and I wonder if it's not too late
I should've gone in my younger age
but it's just the same old Anchorage

Lyrics: Phil Bowen
Verse 1
Through my eyes now I can see it all
Through my life I see each rise and fall
Morning sunrise to the sun going down 
Time to move on before I drown 

Verse 2
There’s only one life but you can choose the road
The city is fading about to implode
Look to the future and follow your head
And layout a path with an invisible thread

Middle 8
Through my eyes
And through my mind
All those memories
They’re so hard to leave behind

Verse 3
Brother life keeps pulling; it’s in my heart
It’s time to move on and say goodbye
I leave a part of me with you as I depart
We’ll always have a family tie

Verse 4
Through my eyes now I can see it all
Through my life I see each rise and fall
The waters are rising around this town 
Seems to me we’re on a countdown

Outro
The waters are rising around this town 
Seems to me we’re on a countdown
The waters are rising around this town 
Seems to me we’re on a countdown



There to here  Pt. 3

This track is part of an ongoing SoundCloud collaboration with accomplished keyboard player and Prog Rock enthusiast Dave Zeitlin.

Be sure to check out more of his music here :- @dee-zee

Once again, one of his instrumentals entitled "Beyond The Veiled Horizon" conjured up some imagery that inspired me to try and add something to his original track. I was thinking 'Ethno-Prog' mixing Prog Rock with a World sort of feel. 

The title and music suggested to me the mysterious world of a desert landscape with it's rhythms and music and I had the famous Led Zeppelin 'Kashmir' in my head too. John-Paul Jones added a strings arrangement to that track and I thought I could try something similar.

Since it's Prog Rock I wanted to get my electric guitar out and I feel I came up with some phrasing and a scale that works for the idea. I particularly like the solo section at the end featuring Dave. I didn't want to tread on his toes so I went for more melodic held notes and panned myself hard left and right to keep the separation. 

I used a fair amount of more exotic instruments from various parts of the world. The Persian Ney, Kavali - an End Blown Flute and percussion from ancient Greece and the fairly rare Indian Kanjira that is like a small tambourine. A bell tree, cymbal and water pumpkins were added into the mix too.

Finally, I sang in some vocal lines that I felt helped add to the immersion after doing a bit of research about Moroccan vocal phrases. You can buy VST instruments with samples of them but I thought it was more fun to sing in my own and have more control over the finished article as a result.

Be careful out there ... who knows what you might discover.

Summertime

NIN

Thanks lads
You're still the bar
Trent at 60
Many more years fill stages far
A forever reference in my head
From heavy to light
Lyrical love brain bed
Some friends don't dig your music but love your words
Proper heresy
Transcendence of blur

Keep it together
We want more Hurt
Yeah Cash took it,
But it's always your worth
This is something I can have
I will find that stage
I got Reznor rasp
You gave me growl and finesse
Closer to God within my chest

Ruiner of my negative side
Head was a hole
Ego tamed from pride
A Warm Place
You fill these moments
Like Buckley Grace
I'm music moulded
Into the Void for all our sakes
Lyrical real washes away the fakes

I bite the hand that feeds us lies
I almost Gave Up
But, still Wish for prize
It's you man
You kept me going
You're amazing music
Keeps BD flowing
Never say never
Churned love from rage
Maybe someday we'll share a stage


Music notes
-Drive in frets 0-6 and get 6 power in there

-Drop D to deliver the heavy

-Chromatic chords movements for a Rage Against the Machine like energy


Instrumentation
-Guitar & Bass heavy for main parts of song

-Piano part, maybe a softer ending and or intro to honour that contrast NIN give us so amazingly

-Eerie synth pads especially at the start bringing in a cool wind filled start making it linked to nature / season

-Set tuning to 444Hz and consider Capo on 2 to get that E 333Hz root which can represent harmony with the Suns average frequency. Also consider finding a drone like deep bass sound with octaves lower of this so we should find that at 166.5Hz @ see if 83.25Hz is usable at all

-consider setting up a synth to create a spiral effect with panning and pitch shifting to honour the Downward Spiral

-Use breaking glass effect to honour The Fragile. Maybe make this a positive flip by using a reversed breaking of glass effect making something that's impossible at least possible in sound. That can be a powerful metaphor

- Add a Machine sound of some kind to honour Pretty hate Machine. Tie this machine sound to the reverse effected glass breaking effect and tie that positivity to the hope we keep machines & technology under a better control collectively

- Maybe consider actually saying Nine Inch Nails in a chorus of some kind. They're amazing influence should be clear and celebrated and help transcend the assumption that NIN music is just noise and negative when the complete opposite is actually true

Here is another recent spontaneous collaboration of ours, track 8 in the ongoing "Atmosphere" album. Inspired by "Ballad 23" by Roberto B (@2roberto2), https://soundcloud.com/2roberto2/ballad-23-2025, that he put on his SC webpage on 20 June 2025 (composed, mixed and recorded in MAGIX), I composed, mixed and recorded immediately (in GarageBand iOS, using touch screen to improvise on a few virtual instruments as Roberto B's initial background music was unfolding, and Logic Pro, to arrange, mix and record) the extended collaborative version on 23 June 2025.  We hope you'll enjoy this long but beautiful composition.

The artwork cover for the album and all tracks in it uses a painting by Roberto B of 2 November 2024 annotated by Alex M in Mac OS Preview on 17 November 2024 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.

Duration: 11:44 minutes

Release date:

Atmosphere 8 - Roberto B & Alex M

Track # 14 from my first LP called "Songs for Peace, Love and Understanding." In the end it is always about the song which is the main theme which runs throughout the verses. Being taken to a place in the song by the writer and storyteller and maybe finding something that you may also relate to or in the least sing along with.
Lyrics:

In the quiet of the night
I find solace in the song
The rhythm and the rhyme
Help me carry on

Through heartache and through pain
The music heals the soul
Every note and every chord
Helps us feel whole

It's always about the song
The way it moves us along
Echoes and melody
In our hearts, forever strong

Take me to that place
Where the music flows like a stream
Let me lose myself
In the beauty of the dream

So let the music play
And let the lyrics soar
For in the end, it's always about the song
That keeps us coming back for more
