Awesome mix, great tunes, highly enjoyable. Reference track material

damn man, incredibly tight and gritty funk/rock blast! So many cool parts and details to focus in on. I'm always a fan of songs that change up like this one does.  Been too long since I last visited yer stuff man...  mandatory listening!!!

so much better than rap with the basic rock feel to the background..always excellent vocals

CINEMATIX RED BASTION relaxing sleep music - Dramatic AI Music in 2025

A partial remake of my earlier rearrangement of Frédéric Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, Op. 10 No. 12. 

A Sunday excercise where I laid down a bass part with the Jazz Bass Ultra on top of my earlier rearrangement. I played the electric piano part originally 2.5 years ago as midi in several takes. Also some midi note corrections and quantizations were made back then especially since the changing of the rhythm turned out to be more difficult for the left hand than I expected.. I'm not a pro bassist but it sure was fun playing this! I also didn't want the bass to steal all the attention from the keyboard part:)

I also made a short video of this:

F. Chopin Revolutionary Etude Rearranged w/ Bass (excerpt)

(Verse1)
Pull out the stops, it’s just the beginning 
Now let the beat dropped, 
If you’re here, then we’re winning 
didn’t change my aim —my name —
I-P-G-1,——-M-V-P still in the game 
ain’t no shame perfect storm 
On the cloud, let it rain, let it reign 
beyond the norm, splatter on the rooftops 
And flowing down the drain
some say i’m crazy, but you have been warned 
Born and bred to rep deep underground 

(Verse2)
acknowledge the name 
acknowledge the game 
acknowledge— the— pieces ain’t the same 
Fame—-nah never, but these rap bars, make me a rockstar 
shout it from the rooftop, Its all under par
underground, with top notch quality 
still goes far, on the path to Victory 
the winning team is always near the finish line
Pull out the stops, one standard refined 
deep end, different styles, different flow combined 
I’m jammin everywhere, come on read the sign-
Pull out the stops, these are wicked times

(Chorus)
pulled out the stops, pulled out the stops
Never fear, I take it as it comes. 
5-4-3-2——yeah, number 1, 
I-P-G in Forefront no I’m not done 
-Don’t matter where you come from
Come on get you some
Truth filled with facts, repping  underground
We won’t stop, or hold back
That’s a fact, so stay on track, 
pull the stops, got it like that
beat drop—————bars come off the top, 
——--Expressive with the style 
That’s a difference, why not? 
pulled the stops, 
pulled the stops

[Interlude]
Pull the stops-pull the stops
[Scratch]
Pull out the Stops
Crazy shit!
[Scratch]
Pull out the Stops
Jamming everywhere 
[Scratch]
Pull out the Stops
Levels to it!

(Chorus)

(Verse3)
Ain’t gonna stop, we’ll  just keep going 
paths been laid out highs and low-end 
stay motivated it’s a positive trend 
keep on Rollin, Switch it, flip the script.
Got the hip-hop groove, With soul in it
M-V-P so the track gets lit

Pull out the Stops

Don't look backwards

I want nothing from you

Backwards

Seem to be in permanent countdown mode: global warming,Trump’s tariffs, days left before the visa runs out. So I thought I’d plan an imaginary escape in this song.   https://youtu.be/WfT0n7nuGxE


Let’s start with the countdown
Whoop, whoop I’m going home
ZEHN
There’s nothing worse than Earthlings
NEUN
They have such weird chromosomes 
ACHT
They’re cruel and they’re deluded
SIEBEN
They’re fools, they’re mean, they moan
SECHS
So I’ve pimped up Elon’s spacecraft 
FÜNF
Just hope to take me home
VIER
Tune those raptor engines
DREI
Gotta fixe those propellent leaks
ZWEI
And fingers-crossed I’m blasting off 
EINS
Should be be home in about a week.
WIR HABEN ABGEHOBEN

The Countdown

(null) - pluralistic ignorance

world changer

COUNT YOUR HORSES COZ’ NIGHT IS COMING
DON’T LET THEM GO ASTRAY
IN THEIR SLEEP THEY JUST  MIGHT GO MISSING
AND YOU’LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN
YOU MAY NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE
WITH THOSE WEAPONS YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE

HOW DID IT ALL COME TO THIS? 
HOW COULD WE LET IT COME TO THIS?
ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE
WITH THOSE WEAPONS YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
MAKE SURE WE’LL BE ALRIGHT
WITH OUR WEAPONS WE CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH OUR LOVED ONES BY OUR SIDE, BY OUR SIDE
