This https://soundcloud.com/user-596493783 composition was destined for life as an instrumental track and found itself conjoined to my vocal.

FMT explain the process in their blog:

Blanket of Moss

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

KEEP SAFE

So you point out the sky
The beauty
The money
The jobs
Your dreams may have gone
But you show them the pictures
Painted
In the clouds
It’s hard to tell them
How much you love them
So you just ask them 
To keep safe

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

And loving them
Is loving yourself
Harder than expected
And hard to show
But sort of expected
And not easy
You want them to outrun you 
But you don’t want them to run too fast

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

Don’t miss the last bus
Don’t walk home alone
Saturdays we’d watch the football
We never really watched the football
I’m just imagining we had a better time
Than we did
I’m walking home alone now…

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

But they don’t see it at the time
You build a home
You build a hope
But something’s always going wrong
Going wrong
They don’t see it at the time
They don’t see it at the time

Next release of Mojear Records is the new single from Shabboo Harper. A female recognizable producer who always works with passion and dedication.

This high quality Ambient journey will give you the opportunity to experience a delightful combination of wonderfully interwoven alluring elements: magnificent pads, hypnotic bass line or airy synths.

The Secret

Shabboo Harper - The Secret [MJ210]

Thanks to one of my valued SC friends @naturesautonomus , i encouraged myself and took all what it takes and signed the online producing course with Andrew Huang on this learnmonthly.com site.

Very tight deadlines to meet and alot of new stuff to learn. I really recommend it! Its exhausting but sooo worth it.

This is the first out of three tracks which i have to produce while doing this course. I hope you enjoy it as much as i "enjoyed" going for a very crazy alien invasion listening experience.

You can think of it in many different ways, but the main idea behind that, which kinda evolved during this brand new production and arranging and mixing and mastering process, is, that the aliens kinda funk their way from one capital to the next and just erase us. 

The peak in the song where the crazy additional synth joins the fun - you kinda want to imagine all those little nasty aliens up in the ship celebrating their desctructive hovering "march" to erase all humankind. Ain't that fun?! Haha!

Much love to all of you and thank you for being there and your support.

Invasion

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

The toughest cages to break out of are often built by ourselves and entirely in our own minds.

BREAK OUT OF THIS CAGE

Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars
Is it all in my mind
The weight on my shoulders 

Better than that 
More than that
You deserve so much more
So much better than that

Round and round and round…..

Up and down
Round and round
Off the ground
I don’t want to hear a sound
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh….

Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage

Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars
Is it all in my mind
The weight on my shoulders 

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh…..

Round and round and round…..

My future
Your future
Our future
It’s all in the past
It’s all in the past
Get off of this circular path

Break out of this cage
Break out of this cage  

Break out of this cage
Why can’t I hold on to the bars

Break Out Of This Cage

Pandemic and then what?

Watch the video and listen to You Listen while soaking in the vibes of Mexican agriculture circa 1950s here: https://fb.watch/2tXYb4EpAr/

I deeply recognize the disparity in ways natural and human disasters affect different groups of people and the need for greater equality of care. I also recognize that I live with many privileges that others do not have. And with these recognitions, I still believe there is space for us all to have a gratitude practice while passionately endeavoring for positive change.  

I am grateful for all the accumulated creativity and work of our ancestors that lead to the eventual creation of the internet and SoundCloud which has enabled us to remain artistically connected during this period of increased physical isolation. 

May everyone’s seeds be fruitful and multiply.

Lyrics:

We thank this seed with its potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
You listen
Oh, you listen
We’re thankful that 
You listen

You listen
Yea, you listen
In the morning dew
You glisten

We honor you with crimsoned desire
Following Nanahuatl who jumped in the fire
May your sacrifices continue to inspire
And bring forth gratitude until we expire 

The days are long and the weather is hot
We call on the rains to weather our crops
Bless the labor of men and divined thought 
Honored to sacrifice for all that we got 

We thank this seed with it’s potency
To bring forth fruits so copiously
With opened hearts and festivity  
4 20 days of ceremony 
 
We be handing out the alms for the love of Xipe Totec
Got the gods in the house garlands all around their necks
Sitting on sheaves, leaves of tzapote 
Honoring renewal of life and all that is holy 
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers
Flayed in the way maize loses layers 
With hope of vegetation we given up the prayers

Andrew Huangs learnmonthly Song #2. This thing pushed me to a place where i never thought i might end up. Recording dozens of samples, slicing, eqing, manipulating stuff in various directions, going full crazy with delay reverb, building out of the scratch a synth patch for base and chords and tweaked up to a point where the stereo field does not longer exist , where there were just sonic waves everywhere in my head......

I really hope you enjoy this piece more than the moments where i felt so dead and exhausted and empty inside.

As this being some kind of private work - i called it homework, as i took this baby from home, where i recorded the samples, on my fiances laptop in to my holidays. built like crazy while we were on vacation...... but again... i learned so much like mastering my daw more and more and tons of other stuff. im still thankful that i push myself so hard this month. for me, for you, just for the love of and for music <3

your humble sonic servant,
fullyard

i listened to some Japanese lo-fi hip hop and got these vibes..made on ipad in 2 hours of jamming with the korg gadget app.

This is a collaboration with the talented Karin-Maria Brunner from Switzerland. She composed the music and asked me if I would be interested in doing vocals and some guitar. I decided to write the lyrics in the Swiss dialect of German. Karin made it easy for me to write lyrics and do some acoustic guitar with her wonderfully composed song. Here are the lyrics in Swiss German and then English. The song art is actually a photo of where Karin used to live in the mountains. Hope you enjoy!

Herr uuf em Berg (The Gentleman upon the Mountain)

Gan wiit obä uuf em Berg
Gits a mega psonderi Herr
Und jetz verzehli syni Legendä wort für wort bis zum Ende

Vo da obä, geseht er alles
D'schöni Wiesa D'Wasserfälle
Er schützt das Land mit stabiler Hand
Aber es gi niemer, wo syn name chann. 

Im sym Herz isch nur Liebä da wird bliebä
Wird dieser Herr niemal sterbä
Und bliibt verbundä mit d'Erde. 

Aber jedes Jahr, es git es Kampf
Zwische dem Herr und ä anderi Ma
D'Mann isch gross und ziemli Start
Ung schlagt d Herr unheimli hart

Aber dieser Herr, der hat wieder gunnä
Jetz staht er uuf und begrüsst d'Sonne
Und hebts Land unter syn Hand
Und herrscht na wiiter....mit liebvollem Plan

English Translation

Way up high, upon a mountain
There is a very special gentleman
Und now I will tell you his legend, word for word until the end. 

From way up there, he sees all
The beautiful meadows and the waterfalls
He protects the land with a stabil hand
But there is nobody that knows his name

In his heart, is only love
And if that will stay so forever
This gentleman can never die
And will stay connected with the earth

But every year, there is a struggle
Between the gentleman and another man
The man is big and really strong
And strikes the gentleman incredibly hard....

But this gentleman, he won again
And now he rises and greets the sun
And keeps the land underneath his hand
And continues to lead with a loving plan. 

Danke!

Herr Uuf Em Berg

This is a track from my soundcloud friend Jan Schonander, which he wrote, performed and released here on soundcloud already some weeks ago.
As he recently asked me, if I could do a N.o.b.S. Version of it, I did not hesitate as I really do like the song.
If you listen to the original, there is a guitar already creating a great atmosphere. 
I wanted to amplify this momentum with my version especially in the second part with heavy rock riffs.

I hope you all will enjoy this and bang your heads to it. It is something for rock obsessed individuals.

Please visit Jan on his site and support him, you will like the music you will find there:

Lyrics 

It's not good.
You can start over.
You are mean
You can't go away

It does not matter.
You will do better.
The next time.
You can't go away

It's not good.
You understand
Everyone walks away from you.

It does not matter.
You will do better.
The next time.
You can't go away

It's not good
I believed in you
You broke  the silence.
You can't go. Away

It does not matter.
You will do better.
The next time.
You can't go away

Souls in perdition

You can't go away

You Can't Go Away

Thankyou for checking out and enjoying my tracks!
