Lyrics:

Lingering feeling sweet afternoon blues do you know what I'm missing bored with nothing to do 

Maybe if yesterday hadn't gone so fast I wouldn't be sitting here feeling so bad
 
Heavenly trace of last night's gloom I thought we were over I want us to be through

Why won'y you please set me free and leave me to forget this bittersweet memory and trace of regret

Yesterday's News

Lyrics: 

Staring at today's headlines
in an empty compartment
warning tape and a lost bag
a cold wind in downtown

I'm walking
I'm walking

I keep walking
I keep walking

I know it won't come back
step out and deal with that
a different normality
the keys stay in the keyhole

I'm walking
I'm walking

I keep walking
I keep walking

Caesura

Warning Tape And A Lost Bag

Ignorance Is Bliss

The Light Has Changed

[CONCEPT]
Although holding out the ideal is the first step to success, extreme future-oriented thinking might bring us nothing, but mental torture. Don't count your chickens before they hatch! Stop being a prisoner of the future, let's appreciate what you're doing right now and participate in this very moment.  

[LYRICS]
Craving for liberation 
From my agitation
An endless obsession of mine

Feeling like I'm running from the early morning 
But I've never shaken it off
It's like a shadow, always to be followed 
By the pain in my heart

I don’t need a description
Just give me a prescription 
And your compassion
My heartbeat's like a drum roll

Feeling like I'm living in the world that I made up
Now, I cannot get out of it
All I wanted was to take control 
Of everything that happens to me

Today, I’m lonely and feel empty
Am I captured by the future of mine?

Feeling like I'm running from the early morning 
But I've never shaken it off
It's like a shadow, always to be followed 
By the pain in my heart

Feeling like I'm living in the world that I made up
Now, I cannot get out of it
All I wanted was to take control 
Of everything that happens to me

Today, I’m lonely and feel empty
Am I captured by the future of mine?
My agitation’s a creation of my mind

Ever since my personal discovery of the writings and musings of Terence McKenna in the mid 90’s I have been both fascinated & amused by a hypothesis of his that some have referred to as: The Stoned Ape Theory.

Here is a fun read on it by Kiki Dy.

The Stoned Ape Theory: Pseudoscience or Psychedelic Origin of Modern Man?

Did early humans accelerate evolution by tripping balls on psychedelic mushrooms? One psychonaut ethnobiologist says: absolutely.

Let’s set the scene: 100,000 years ago, in the age before recorded history, our early hominid ancestors started abandoning the forests and traveling across savannahs. As they foraged in new environments, they began evolving faster, cleverer brains that eventually tripled in size. How did they accomplish this? One theory suggests that they unknowingly added psilocybin to their diet and tripped their way to high-level consciousness. 

The Stoned Ape Theory is a hypothesis by one of America’s most influential psychonauts, Terence McKenna. With knowledge of ecology, conservation, and shamanism, McKenna united his interests in his study of psychedelics. McKenna earned his degrees from the University of California-Berkeley’s Tussman Experimental College, and his extensive writings served as some of the West’s first exposure to the psychedelics DMT and ayahuasca. 

Though he died in 2000, McKenna’s lifetime of advocating for the exploration of altered states of mind still influences modern psychonauts today. The Stoned Ape Theory is only one way in which he attempted to shift the world’s view of psychedelics.

Mean Streets (Torbjørn Vagle  - Jimmy Rivas - Dairv Dubbleyew)

Music & Piano: Jan Schonander

Got in my head that I wanted to play something with a little staccato and this is what came out. Also thought it would be a good idea to do all four seasons and recruited three pianists to complete the cycle. Delighted that Debra Buesking agreed to take on summer and here is a link to her wonderful interpretation:
https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/summer-interrupted-c/s-6ix0O3wrxbm

Two additional Soundcloud artists have agreed to tackle Fall and Winter and when their inspiration results in a track the links will be here too. I have also put together a playlist where all four tracks eventually will be in a collection.

I spent seventeen long winters in Stockholm. Funnily enough the most challenging season to me was always spring with all the false starts and long hiatuses. By the time it’s May and you can reasonably expect some warmish weather (defined as over 50F) it inevitably snows and destroys your planned weekend bike ride, or maybe you just have to keep your down jacket in the closet a few more weeks and leave your lighter clothes at the back of the closet. Of course, spring is the beginning of a period of more fun and games. Hopefully you can hear the pull between spring trying to break through and winter lingering on in this music.

This is a performance with no post recording edits. It is entirely in Gm except for 1 note intended to denote a dissonant interruption. I wonder who can locate that B.

Spring Interrupted

I like listening Psytrance. And Psybient too. When I play my Electronica they always get in a middle  :) - Psytronica? 

...... right, used synths: Moog Subsequent 37CV and Arturia VSTs: Juno6, MiniMoog (x3), OP-Xa, Pigments, plus ANA2, FabFilters Twin 2. Mastered with UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, and FabFilters. As always new and a dozen other tracks are downloadable on my accounts, thanks!

Personal Borealis

Music & Piano, Synth:  Jan Schonander
Instrument: Nord Stage III

About loss, about what we remember. Passing away is always a somber event, but over 20 years ago when my father was in his last days he told my mother to "be chirpy". I think it is good advice. The Colombian flag is in remembrance of my mother-in-law who passed away peacefully on 9/27/22 - may she rest in peace.

This is the first time I write something using the Cm harmonic scale (and lo and behold I stayed in key throughout) instead of the melodic. It definitely brought out some sadness.

Remembrance

“When looking through the spiritual eye, or the third eye encased within the human mind, one can see vividly beyond the ken of human eyesight, beyond the material atom, and into the future, thereby transcending the limitations of time and space.”

All synths are Nord Stage III native - with plenty of tweaks to all aspects. Apart from the drums there is no programming and everything is performable.

About volatility and self-control. Nearly all the time is not all the time and it’s worth remembering that.

SCREAM

Don’t you worry baby, it’ll all be fine
Don’t you worry baby, it’ll be alright

Who…
It’ll all work out
Not a scream or a shout
Who….
Sometimes
Nearly all the time

Don’t you worry baby, it’s gonna get better
Don’t you worry baby, it’s gonna be alright

Who…
Again and again………
Who…
Sometimes 
Nearly all the time
Sometimes
I wanna scream
Nearly all the time
I wanna scream
Again and again ...

Don't you worry baby, it'll all be fine
Don’t you worry baby, it's gonna be alright

I’m in control
Yeah, I’m in control
Sometimes
Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry baby, it’s gonna be fine
Nearly all the time

Lyrics:

Don't they know music is the heart of rasta
don't they know music is the heart of life
don't they know music is the heart faith
don't they know music is the heart hope

O-O-only music and music and music alone
O-O-only music can bring everyone home

don't they know music is the heart jah love
don't they know music is the heart him
don't they know music is the heart bliss
don't they know music is the heart soul

O-O-only music and music and music alone
O-O-only music can bring everyone home

Souls Of Music

[CONCEPT]
Getting out of your comfort zone would be a difficult thing more than it sounds. anybody wants to avoid having any troubles from doing so, but it would be the only way for you to get what you’ve been craving for from the bottom of your heart. Don’t be hesitant to step forward to your dream.

[LYRICS]
Since I met you
My life is like a roller coaster
It's upside down, my feeling is out of control

Take my pain away
But won’t you please come closer? 
Is everything okay with my mind?
You really rocked my world 

I thought I’d never be distracted by this kind of emotion
Dictionaries never help me, mystery, oh 

So sure, I’m not a rock n roll star
Like to stay at home
But something is not the same at all

I think I’d never met someone like you if I was lying on my bed
Ordinary days seem so meaningful
Now, I know

Get out of my comfort zone, there is a roller coaster to ride on
Gonna be okay, here I go, there is a roller coaster to ride on

I thought I’d never be distracted...
Dictionaries never help me… (never gonna help me!)
I think I’d never met someone like you if I was lying on my bed
Ordinary days seem so meaningful
Now, I know

Since I met you
My life is like a roller coaster
But wanna find out
What can I do to know you better?
Since I met you…
