Ladies and Gentlemen, Jimmy  ( James Rivas ) did it again. He chose one of my Melodies and put his wonderful voices over it. With his unforgettable voice he breathed life into the song. Thanks Jimmy for your wonderful 
collaboration again.

Cleopatra  by James Rivas & Martin Hirsch

Okay, let's take a break from the protest songs and get some dancing in!
A Blues shuffle with your favourite partner.

Swing Me

Thank You so much for over 1000 plays! 

Some time ago @dj-pietrekb showed me a great free Kontakt (it works on free Player version) plug-in called Arcane by Embertone. I decided to use one of the 4 "instruments" contained in it (that unusual single female vocal) to create this little track.
Beside that I've used a great UVI DXS synthesizer from the Digital Synsations pack, Massive and, known to those who follow my tracks: Epic Choir, Epic Strings and Cinematic Percussion from the Originals series by Spitfire, Flutes and Trumpets from Spitfire's Free BBC SO Discovery.
I used 2 samples: Djembe 120bpm from Ableton Live's Core Library and Chimes Finger Down from, also Ableton's, Drum Essentials pack.

While creating this track, I noticed that it sounds very similar to Ennio Morricone's works, especially those from the movie "The Mission" 😉 which was not my intention at all... It just turned out that way 😆

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

So.. I’m in my life partners studio for a few days and we are identifying as ‘spaced music warriors’, Mixing sounds and generally hitting a vibe when Mike’ pops by and lays some guitar stuff…..what do you know… a new falcon track is born.

Spaced 01V

The vocals were tough, i just redid them, added some upper harmony, sounds a little better...

I feel a change that’s in the air
I hear music everywhere
An excitement that i feel 
beyond compare

I believe you feel it, too
And it's more than me and you
It's the start of something real
Something strange and true, 
  
Far away from the city life
now I'm not sure the reason why 
I was lost in my own wilderness
now the weight of the world is gone

And i want to thank you
I was lost until You shined your light  on me
You found me in the dark and you set me free 

For the refuge of your arms
For your love, safe and warm
And i want to thank you, thank you

Now we’ve been through the thick and thin
I won’t deny it or we defend
But we’ve shown how much we care
This will never end

Like darkness gives in to the dawn
We’ll have our day out in the sun
And a place to love and share
For people everywhere

A place where people understand
We all are brothers hand in hand
And our Salvation’s in our tenderness
and the weight of the world is gone

now the weight of the world is gone
And i want to thank you

Thank You

One of my favorite projects by Morry back in the late 80s/early 90s. Tascam, probably around the time we had an 8-track cassette. Hope our SC friends are doing well!

Dear friends, how about a somewhat self-deprecating song?

Recovering

I have found some ways to recover - when I’m anxious or feeling low
I send a mail to my Grandkids just to give them my love
and if it is not too late an answer comes back
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Sometimes when I’m feeling low - I ask for support from my wife
it might happen in the middle of the night and she never will protest
she will just take my little hand and squeezes it so light
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

If I wake up in the middle of the night - with a nightmare in my poor little brain
I will pick up my mobile and listen to the songs
that all my music friends have published on the net 
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep
