THEME: 
As humans, we take ourselves far too seriously. Our world has always been divided by those who feel that their own voice is the only true voice. Monsters brutally rule others through ideologies, politics and money. 

Humans delude themselves of their own self-importance. Yet, “on the scale of worlds or galaxies - humans are inconsequential, a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal.” (Carl Sagan) 

Perhaps by understanding our universal insignificance, we can find the courage to more kindly behave towards one another, and to preserve and cherish our “pale blue dot” in the universe, the only home we’ve ever known. 

About VLADIMIR VELICHKOV (Bulgaria) 
Vladimir is a virtuoso musician performing on the kaval musical instrument, as well as a composer and professor at the Bulgarian Music Academy in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, where he teaches “Kaval, Chamber Ensembles, Orchestra and Theoretical Disciplines”. He has a doctorate degree in “The Art of Kaval - Tradition and Modernity”. 

The kaval is a woodwind instrument, characteristic of Bulgarian folklore music. Extracting sound and tone from the kaval is extremely difficult. Vladimir achieves an extremely varied sound by using new techniques such as playing two or three notes simultaneously while singing into the instrument; using the “voiced air column” effect where the whistling of air passes through the instrument at a certain pitch and a melody is played - the so-called “whistling wind” effect; overflow of several registers in one or two octaves; and playing percussion effects. https://youtube.com/@VladimirVelichkov0205?si=i6ZhJEmvSR4Z5HIF 

About JAMES HILL (USA) 
Born into a musical family in Burbank, California, James began playing the trumpet at the age of nine and never stopped! “James creates a beautiful and compelling array of musical landscapes - fusing genres, styles, instruments, and rhythms into intensely evocative compositions. His music is punctuated by stellar and often haunting trumpet interludes or overlays. There are certain beautiful and pointed experiences in life on earth that should not be missed, and must be savoured…. The music of James Hill is one of these experiences.” (R. Sebastian Bennett) https://youtube.com/@tcabstudio?si=o_z3iUDQi4K3FMty

SS91 Radio EP. 35 - Namesis

Song by Thomas Moore
Vocals and Instrumentals by Layna Claunch

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts, fading away
Thou would'st still be adored as this moment thou art
Let the loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin, each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervour and faith a soul can be known
To which time will but make thee more dear
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose

Believe Me (If All Those Endearing Young Charms)

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool
Listen to their wisdom
And wear it like a jewel
A glittering jewel
The golden path of progress
Is sometimes much ado
Oh turn around, look backwards

And now this is me, I am he
And the time has come

Listen boy now did you think that
This was all new?
Nothing comes from nothing
Or appears out of the blue
The beautiful blue

And now mark the time, free the mind
And dig for the truth
Don't forget, no regret
They will forgive our youth

Listen boy now, there's a strange man
In the mirror
If you look close boy, the face
Is getting clearer
Now what do you fear?
And what do you hear?

I am you, that much is true
And the years have run
Break the chains, strengthen what remains
Yes the time has come

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool

Chimera

M1 Main Theme

502 (Prod by Sam Kage)

[Verse]
The world feels, so unkind
the walls come in it's so confined
Chasing dollars losing your soul
Falling deeper .. in the hole

[Chorus]
Break the chains burn the map
Runaway don't look back
Live today.. wild and free
open skies.. as far as I can see

[Verse 2]
No disguise no more lies
the road ahead is open wide
Feel the earth under your feet
Life abounds pure and sweet

[Chorus]
Break the chains burn the map
Runaway don't look back
Live today.. wild and free
open skies.. as far as I can see

[Bridge]
Throw off the weight let it fall
listen to.. your true spirit call
live Every moment like your last
shed your skin, say goodbye to the past

[Chorus]
Break the chains burn the map
Runaway don't look back
Live today.. wild and free
open skies.. as far as I can see
as far as I.. can see...

Open Skies - Singer Songwriter (feat., Jon)

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.
