* LYRICS *
VERSE1
The road we don’t know,
Where does it go?
Adventures in my car.
Sometimes dirt. 
Sometimes stones.
Will it take us far?
CHORUS1
Back road.
Let’s go see.
Back road.
Just you and me.
Back road.
A mystery.
Back road.
Young and free
VERSE2
Sometimes slow.
We go with the flow.
Memories we make,
From the risks that we take. 
As we roll on, we both unwind,
Until peace we find.
CHORUS2
Back road.
Take it slow.
Back road.
Memories grow.
Back road.
Take in the air.
Back road.
We don’t care.
Back road.
Nature show.
Back road.
The unknown.
Back road.
Streams will flow.
Back road.
Let’s go!

Back Road (ft. George Clementi - vocals, Rex Weston - cello)

Wieder einmal auf Kontrollflug durch ihren Quadranten kam Disco-Cat am Planeten Neptune 9 vorbei. Eigentlich wollte sie nur neues Material für den Soundspeicher bei dem chinesischen Kater Meo-Wing für ihr Keyboard kaufen, doch von der gegenüberliegenden Diskothek hörte sie seltsame Musik… Ihr Mittelsmann, Kater Maunzi, hatte ihr gesteckt, dass Space Cat offensichtlich einen Job als DJ angenommen hat.
„So will sie sich auf den bevorstehenden Kampf vorbereiten?“, dachte sich Disco-Cat, „und vor allem, was denkt die denn, wer ich bin? Ich entführe doch keine Prinzessinnen!“

Irgendjemand spielt hier ein „abgekatertes“ Spiel. Um herauszufinden, wer hier Intrigen spinnt, entschloss sich Disco-Cat auf den Planeten Chephren zu fliegen, um sich in Whiskas-City Rat von der geheimnisvollen Sheba zu holen… Sie riet ihr - nach einem langen Gespräch - ganz entspannt zu schnurren und der Dinge zu harren… Mit neuem Material an Sounds für ihr Keyboard trat sie die Heimreise nach Maine Coon an - mit einem mulmigen Gefühl! Es war ihr, als ob ihr jemand folgte…

Doch den Rat von Sheba befolgend, zog sie sich die Kopfhörer über und hörte Musik von Cat Stevens.

Once again on a control flight through her quadrant Disco-Cat passed the planet Neptune 9. Actually, she only wanted to buy new material for the sound storage at the Chinese Cat Meo-Wing for her keyboard, but from the opposite discotheque she heard strange music... Her intermediary, Cat Maunzi, had told her that Space Cat had obviously taken a job as a DJ.
"Is this how she wants to prepare for the upcoming battle?" thought Disco-Cat, "and above all, who does she think I am? I don't kidnap princesses!"

Someone is playing a "hungover" game here. To find out who is scheming, Disco-Cat decided to fly to the planet Chephren to get advice from the mysterious Sheba in Whiskas City... She advised her - after a long conversation - to purr quite relaxed and wait for things to happen... With new material of sounds for her keyboard, she started her journey home to Maine Coon - with a queasy feeling! She felt as if someone was following her....

But taking Sheba's advice, she put on her headphones and listened to music by Cat Stevens.

Disco Cat In Trouble

'Walking Into The Wind' is a mixed genre track.....I can't really say what the mix of genres are though. I have replaced the original post and reworked the end section, which I now think is far more suitable. I can only hope that you agree.

Walking Into The Wind

It’s Easy Doing Country (or #widowlife)
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath
 
Now a man started a country song,
And sang it out all strong,
And he played it at the honky-tonks,
And he hummed it all night long,
But nine months later,
His song became undone,
When someone knocked at his door
And handed him a son.  

Oh, it was easy (for him) to do country,
And sing it for all to hear,
Then forget all about it,
And keep it in arrears,
But the woman he’d composed with,
wouldn’t let it disappear.
And she added a boy to his chorus,
And that at sixty years!

And she told him flat out:
I really wanted to love you,
Until I found it was a sham
Your country song went out of tune
When I found you were a married man.
You made me think you were solo,
When your duet was at home,
So good luck at being trio,
You, your wife, and son. 

Oh, a man started a country song,
And sang it out all strong,
Until he got a baby boy,
And the tune went out all wrong,
Then the whole town got involved,
And sung the parts unsung.  
And his wife joined the chorus
And even brought her gun. 

It’s easy doing country
When your wife’s not a home
Going down to the honky-tonks
Pretending to be alone
But nine months later
When presented with a son
It’s really hard explaining
 exactly what you’ve done.

It's Easy To Do  Country

My new song with, piano, clarinets, flutes, synths, drums, bass and vocals. 😊 mastered by my very lovely Sander. @wane-of-summer Dedicating this to you on our three year anniversary...😊💕💕💕

COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE

Old & new from the RSH impro course. Eunhyun Chu, flute; Sarah Kaufmann, English Horn; Haneul Kim, French Horn; Heongjin Oh, Tuba; Carolin Seelhof, Didgeridoo; Sohyeon Oh, violin; Ella Sternstedt and Lars Radloff, Double Bass; additional tracks + mixed + produced by Hubertus Dreyer.

The piece feels most comfortable on big fat speakers, which is inversely proportional to how the majority of listeners then are likely to feel.

Obviously, this is purely functional music (how do I drive annoying guests out of my flat? How do I tell my co-workers that I want the meeting to end? How do I commit the perfect crime?).

May I add: Many thanks to https://soundcloud.com/tuonela-1 who was the first to draw my attention towards the mystery land between Contemporary Music ("Avantgarde") and Experimental Ambient… and thus, to the many many possibilities beyond well established genres…
