Song that can be listening whit pleasure. Wonderful voice. Great art. Excellent.

Dear friend, You have succeded to produce a lovely cover of this lovely song😍

I'm still experiment with different approaches to create my music, so this is a small piece based on a percussive theme. It may feel like a journey in search of unknown, undiscovered places...

Since I'm slowly returning to classical guitar, I wanted to use it as the lead instrument. I decided to use all the dirty guitar plays and experiment with different ambient sounds and of course, with the piano :)

Hidden Latitudes - part 2

Hidden Latitudes

Extract V7

Journey through an array of intricate synth melodies, grainy amplified piano and guitars, heavy synth bass, haunting vocal elements and blended electronic beats to arrive at the strong place within... 
Thanks to Ernest Hemingway, who said "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." 
Never give up 🤍

THE ALBUM IS COMING AUGUST 2nd!
As a child, I had a truly magical time with stories, and my mom reading them to me. The way she intonated and impersonated each character was just so fascinating to me. Her voice was the music I always heard before falling asleep, and as soon as I would actually fall asleep, the music kept going. Which was and still is sometimes a torture as much as a pleasure.

As an artist, I always come back to that child and those stories. They still resonate with me but on a much deeper level. The notes now combined with colors and smells, patterns become a dance or a soundscape rather than just a melody. So, I splash with my watercolors palette and watch the music as it merges with the world, and I invite the listener to this never-ending journey.

“The Little Prince” was one of my favorite stories, one filled with quiet moments and hidden meanings, mystery, and gentleness, and humor - the kind of story that haunts you all your life. This story holds a philosophy that I resonate with: I feel myself just like the main character - wishing to create my own worlds, organize my thoughts according to my personality, and not to be put into the frame of adulthood. I feel the rebellious urge to wake myself up from a grey existence and use all the colors, humor, sounds, and smells that exist in the story of the Little Prince.

It became even more special since my son was born. We painted the Little Prince on the window in a daycare room, the home daycare I used to run in our own house before embarking on the journey of a composer. At that time, we were surrounded by music and art all day long as my children grew up, and I was experiencing their enchantment with music and the Little Prince once more. In 2021 another miracle happened that was also related to the story: I received an email from Leipzig Ballet, asking for permission to use two of my compositions for their ballet show based on "The Little Prince". All that inspired me to write an entire album dedicated to the story.

I am extremely grateful to my family: parents, children, and a wonderful husband who allows my inner child to grow into an artist. I believe we all need the magic of a storytelling experience, and I tried my best to awaken all the senses into it.

"A Drunkard" from "Piano Stories of the Little Prince" by Milana Zilnik

This was a minor hit by David Soul (1943-2024) somewhat 40 odd years ago.  In fact I covered this a couple of years back but I was not happy with the vocals and the recording was put aside.  Lately I decided to give it another try and reworked the whole thing with an altered arrangement.  Just see what you think about it.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
They say maybe dreams are only movies of the mind
 Still I've lived a few
 I'm not a star
 Though in some ways I've made it
 But all these nights away is gonna lose me you
 Thought a lot about it in these back stage rooms
 And I'd leave it all, if you want me to

 #CHORUS#
Some nights, God knows I'll miss the music
 I'll miss the crowds that call my name
 I'd find contentment now
 If I thought you'd just hang' on
 Playing to an audience of one
 
Some nights, God knows it won't be easy
 I'll feel the lights I'll hear the sound
 I'll find a piece in me
 Cuddled up when the evening's done
 Sometimes playing to my audience of one

 
The endless driving, midnight arriving
 The sleeping when you can
 Still worth it somehow just for that lift
 you get when you walk on
 But just to call you up some nights between the shows
 To say "Good-night I miss you" ain't enough I know
 So I'd leave it all if you tell me so
 

I'll find a piece in me
 Cuddled up when the evening's done
 Playing to my audience of one
 Sometimes playing to my audience of one.

Repeat CHORUS

This ripe piece of funk started with JJ essentially composing it on the e. Piano, organ, drums, and bass. He had the Eclectic Collective in mind when he did so, though. JJ actually is playing his drum kit on this one, so funkily that we decided to keep his drums in there. That didn't leave a whole lot of room for Ken to get in on it, but he managed to add a really cool ehru part. The ehru is a two stringed asian violin with a distinct high percussive sound. JJ's bass line was so well played and solid, we decided to keep it in there, too, which also left Josh searching for a place in the mix. He decided to go last with the lap slide to anchor the foundation of the blues idiom. But he did that after Stephen and Tez cast their spells on the song with their magical guitars. Tez can be heard with the trippy, delay-heavy staccato lines, and Stephen with the silky smooth crying blues lines throughout.
Of course, every great song needs a great mixer and producer, and we're lucky enough to have Stephen to do the honors on this one for us.
This song represents The Eclectic Collective at our funky finest, and we always enjoy and appreciate when JJ starts a song for us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
If you really dig it, and have read the whole way to the bottom, please consider sharing this, too. We all appreciate your ears and support.

Her Pleasures

Not Gonna Fall For That

Nothing’s ever easy now

A Kinks-esque romp through British lyrical whimsy

Turn On A Six Pence

A singer-songwriter who cannot read notes, doesn't play much instruments except a little keyboard & guitar and considers singing as the most difficult part for him.

So in case you're wondering how a guy like this would sound, just spare some of your time for a listen.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
