Skimp On The Shrimp

Built on the organic sounds of life — footsteps on pavement, a breeze cutting through open windows, distant voices full of stories — and woven with the nostalgic crackle of oldskool modems calling out to forgotten worlds, this song captures the feeling of breaking free.

Spoken word flows through it like a heartbeat, telling a story of liberation — from systems, from expectation, from weight we were never meant to carry. It’s that feeling of lying on a rooftop at sunrise, watching the city exhale. Of dancing alone in your room, finally not caring who’s watching. Of remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

“So High” is the moment between sunset and sunrise — when night hasn’t quite let go, and morning hasn’t fully arrived. It’s a place where trouble doesn’t stick, where time slows down, and where you finally float above it all.

This one’s for the dreamers. For the ones who feel too much. For anyone who ever needed a song to remind them: you were never meant to stay grounded.

So High

Lie to lie

I Cant Recall

Adaptation of the song of Jean Baptiste Clément and Antoine Renard en 1866/1868.

Le temps des cerises

We might call it 'Folk Dub' - a blend of modern sounds set against some mandoline and harp samples, with an AI voice delivering the 'Sheep Crook and Black Dog' lyrics

Over and Over Again

The silence echoes where you should be,
I reach for you, but it’s only me.
Two hearts divided, worlds apart,
Still you’re the fire inside my heart.

I feel your shadow in every night,
Calling my name through the endless light.

Across the distance, I need you near,
Through time and space, I’ll find you here.
No walls can break us, no stars too far,
I’ll cross the heavens to where you are.

I hear you…
I feel you…
I need you…
Forever…

Across the distance, I need you near,
Through time and space, I’ll find you here.
No walls can break us, no stars too far,
I’ll cross the heavens to where you are.

I need you… I need you… I need you…

Silence echos where you should be

Silent echos where you should be

The inspiration came from acapella . Listen to find out more. 😉

Doing this very much for the fun of it and not really interested in copying anybody else. Love "hybrid" music and sound (or sound design) - meaning I love crossing different genres.
