Black Friday
BPM: 114

This instrumental is based on the sound of multiple tracks of Strats, synths  and electric bass.
It sounds a lot like a song of the eighties for the keyboards chords and the palm muted guitar parts.
The drums are programmed and they are based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. The drums are based on round robin samples which give to the patterns a natural feel.

The instrumental is available for sale on beatstars.com\gamandello or you can enjoy the full track on:

The track has been recorded, mixed and mastered on AKAI MPC Live and software.

Pimpf (Vampire Ball '24 Mix)

Such Is Life

I've got seven bottles of water.
Two more to piss in.
I'd like to get things sorted.
But I don't know where to begin.
I'm glad I tore myself apart.
I didn't know which way to start.
What was begun?
I'll know that answer when I'm done.

My brothers are little rich kids.
My sister is the same.
While I'm stealing firelighters.
Living just to clear my name.
I've just one question before we start.
Should I be taking this to heart?
What's mine is mine?
I'll find out somewhere down the line.

My friends are going crazy.
Chase American dreams.
And I would join their party,
But I don't know what that means.
The 'truth' is nonsense, it would seem.
They're living someone else's dream.
Sit worlds apart.
I should have realised from the start.

I'm starting now to see.
(You) Don't create a thing for me.
Seem half destroyed by infamy.
Consider this, my litany.
Sulphides will rot away your heart.
I took a look back to the start.
No chosen one.
Your shadows blocking out my sun.

What's done is done.

Sometimes, I really feel.
Like no one can beat me.
But then I go and lose again,
You know the outcome by the end 
You know it just don't bother me.
I'm used to losing it would seem.
A sacred art.
That I've been learning from the start.

Six, E, Q, U, J, Five, Wow!
It isn't fucking aliens.
Get back down to earth now. 
There is no value to your art.
You should of known this from the start.
You're not divine.
Despite the memories in your mind.

Apeman, spaceman, later than creation.
Homebird, prison, from whence has arisen?
Lord, will you still my beating heart?
I should of known it from the start.
What's done is done.
They never said you were the one.

What's done is done.
What's done is done.

What's Done is Done

Make a wish

The Young Departed

the inevitables

тыща пятен (romantic slowed)

Depeche Mode meets dark soundtrack music with a bit of EDM & dark ambient thrown in for good measure.
80's & 90's remixes done in a darker and more modern fashion.
I love layered vocals and music that always has something going on in the background.  Bored of cookie-cutter electronic music, I strive to build soundscapes that are deep and complicated.

Seeking collaborations and remix opportunities.
