I'm probably in the middle of a bad wave in real life. I guess it's called a slump. I hope everyone is doing well, though I know we all go through hard times and bad times periodically. Thanks for reading. Also, I'm glad you're interested in my music.

Lately, the 8-string guitar has become an integral part of my songs. I don't know how long I can keep this style going, but I try to do interesting things in my songs whenever possible. Strumming the bass strings in the clean tones is one example, but I don't actually use the bass guitar in that part. In other parts I play the bass guitar myself, of course.

Black & Red

John Falko - Lughnasadh

Lyrics and Vocals by me
Music made in Garageband
(I added some echo on my main voice for more effect)
A simple and a little weird song about self doubt, and finding the power :)

Lyrics:

Please, don't say I'm weak
That I am small
That I will never be able to climb up
and reach the top
That I will always be the one
Lying on the ground, looking up....

Chorus
I'm gonna find my power
I will climb,I will fight
I'm gonna reach the top
I will climb ,I will fight
I'm gonna use my power
I will climb, I will fight
I'm gonna reach the top
I will climb, I will fight

Please, don't say I'm grey
That I'm invisible
and never will be able to be mixed
Or to be fixed
That I will always be the one
Left colorless, lying on the ground..

Chorus...

Chorus....

Climb  (Original)

Even when it seems like the worst is upon us — stand firm, look ahead, and trust in the power of music.

Worst Case

free your mind

Do I seem lighter now?
Do I pirouette into the room?
Have the shades all been ripped away?
Are the bleeding hearts now in bloom?
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Tonight

Do I seem happy now?
Am I now a joyful sight?
I think I used to be funny
Let's see if I am when I see you tonight
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Lovely, the way your skin adheres to mine
Lovely, the hills I trace down your spine
Lovely, all the ways you are tonight, on this

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
When we burn most bright

«A distant call for a close encounter.
The Salamandra Duo presents us with a true and complete instrumental dialogue: At times questioning, at others imperative, but always peremptory
in the nuances of rhythm and the layers of dialogue it offers us».
𝘕𝑢𝘯𝑜 𝑀𝘢𝑛𝘨𝑎𝘴 𝘝𝑖𝘦𝑔𝘢𝑠

«Distant Call is an album created remotely, cooked about 2 years ago by drum recordings by João Svayam (three drum tracks) and the additions of various instruments by Leonel Cardoso (who recycled these three drum tracks to create these themes that we have here today, in addition to other b sides). By that time both were collaborating on a improvisation band called Salamandra, connected to our sister label Partícula Records.
Distant Call is just like a time travel: between pure science fiction and impossible-to-deny facts born from any conspiracy theory.»
𝘕𝘢̄𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶

«As if two salamanders from a larger group decided to create a new flock to explore more individual questions of their existence, this Distant Call was born. It's not the first, and it certainly won't be the last, Salamandra album that I've been asked to listen to and write about... And I always have this feeling of fulfillment and certainty that everything in the Universe is in its correct order: even when it involves some pathology of dissociation. An amazing work of recycling sounds»

Calling from a distant place

Adagio of Life (Frank Mehl Remix) (2024) - A trance tribute to life
Adagio of Life is a trance anthem reflecting life's ups and downs, and the start of a new and hopeful chapter. Majestic orchestral arrangements meet uplifting trance, creating an energetic and melancholic vibe. This song both captures moments of triumph and sorrow with breathtaking melodies and dramatic build-ups.
Frank Mehl remixed this song for my 20th anniversary album. It is a epic blend of soundtrack with modern trance music.

You can find this song on all streaming portals and Bandcamp:
