Magnificent music coupled with a sublime voice.

87_ My Own Lost Art Inspirations - released on 22 September 2025

I was at the Lost Art Festival Vol. 3 in Berlin on 13 September 2025. Light and sound installations and performances were shown in a soon-to-be-abandoned industrial facility. Music acts were also there, of course.
The location gave me the idea to create something with industrial influences. This is the result!

My Own Lost Art Inspirations

Cast of Characters:
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Middle Eastern instruments (Duf Drum, Daire drum, Darbuka, Riq, Qanun, Zurna horn, Ney flute, strings), female vocal sample, 'ululation' (high pitch yodel), mix, composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Custom fretless 5-string bass 
Llanpsych - Fluffer for the keyboardist and keygrip

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — cymbals and Chinese percussion
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — traditional gourd-body sitar and mastering.
Llanpsych - Fluffer for the keyboardist and key grip

The inspiration for this music came from the desire acknowledge and pay tribute to the people suffering from the fighting in the Middle East, and in particular in Palestine. Josh had the idea of doing a traditional Palestinian song, as he is an avid fan of their music. He wanted to raise awareness of this music and tie it to the idea it may cease to exist as a living musical tradition sooner than later. Everyone in the band was immediately on board with this idea, and set about to make it happen. 
  Mark, who is an expert percussionist, composed a typical traditional Middle Eastern style drum pattern, together with an Arabic scale melody, played on the Qanun (a kind of zither). To that he added the instrumental 'Zurna' solo in the middle, various other traditional instruments, and even sang the high pitch yodel sound at the end. Josh found this pattern fascinating, and added his five string fretless bass to the it shortly after. Carl jumped in very shortly thereafter, and came up with some really amazing vocal melodies, as well as wonderfully prescient lyrics. He even learned more than several phrases in Arabic, which he sang in there, too. We were all very impressed by this, of course.
  JJ was next up, adding his magical, melodic, and exotic saz, shakuhachi, and synth to the mix. Ken threw in next, adding his perfectly timed brass and Chinese percussion to the mix, too. Last, but certainly not least, Stephen recorded his subtle, exotic, traditional sitar to the piece. 
  Once we had it all recorded, we turned it over to Mark for a mix, as the whole thing is really his baby. Stephen mastered it, though, as he is our resident professional producer.
  Our hope is that this song inspires you to dig into Palestinian music, and through that, you experience a taste of the magic and the beauty of that region, despite suffering victims of war are experiencing there. But most of all, we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Sisters and brothers
Daughters and Sons
We would give you food
But the road is blocked to sun
Proud Palestine
Brave brethren
Our hearts are with you
Our souls are weeping

Inhumane blockade of bread
Pains collective minds 
We want gone this dread
Let's find our kind
Please be strong
As we right this wrong
Hope prays that day will not be long

We pine with your God
To find a normal truth
Where your kids can grow and learn good youth
Sisters and Brothers
Daughters and Sons
We are with you Palestine
Sending love through song

The eye sees but the arm is short ( العين ترى والذراع قصيرة )
We are in the same boat ( نحن في نفس القارب )
Winds do not blow as the ships wish ( لا تهب الرياح كما تشاء السفن )
Being alone is better then being with someone bad (أن تكون وحيدا أفضل من أن تكون مع شخص سيء )
What is hidden is more then what has happened ( ما هو مخفي أكثر مما حدث )
Every problem has a solution ( لكل مشكلة حل )
Good intentions count for as much as good actions ( النوايا الحسنة لها نفس أهمية الأفعال الحسنة )
All is well that ends well ( كل شيء على ما يرام إذا انتهى بشكل جيد )

Lyrics:

Fantasies has no limits
Just unlock your mind
Let everything flow freely
You don't know what you'll find
Create a pattern with colors
It's all inside you
You just need to put it together
Like a puzzle that comes true....

Music has no limits
Just unlock yourself
Let everything flow freely
You don't know what you'll find
Create a pattern with colors
It's all inside you
You just need to put it together
Like a puzzle that comes true...

Love has no limits
Just unlock your heart
Let everything flow freely
You don't know what you'll find
Create a pattern with colors
It's all inside you
You just need to put it together
Like a puzzle that comes true....

It is a great honor to introduce this special musical project set to the powerful and beautiful poetry of the extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. This work was made possible with the kind permission of the Gabriela Mistral Foundation.
I want to give special thanks to the remarkable soprano Maribel Villarroél, whose stunning voice gave life and soul to each piece. Her deeply personal interpretation and awe-inspiring vocals brought authenticity and passion to this music. I am equally grateful to the brilliant pianist and arranger René Calderón, whose sensitivity and artistry are infused into each song. Their talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit have taken this project to levels I could only dream of as a composer.
Gabriela Mistral’s poems speak to the heart with timeless emotion, strength, and depth. Creating music for her words was both a challenge and a privilege, an emotional journey that led us to deep connections with her legacy and message.
The visual side of this release is also something I’m excited to share. The album cover was created by the outstanding Chilean artist Giovanni Gellona, whose artwork beautifully reflects the emotion and atmosphere of the music and Mistral’s poetry, and projects both her dignity and lovingness.
This album is not just a musical interpretation; it is a tribute to Chilean culture, poetry, and artistic collaboration. I hope listeners around the world can feel the love, effort, and respect behind every note.
I invite you to experience Gabriela Mistral’s poetry through this musical lens and share it with others who might be moved by it.
With gratitude,
Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka

PIECECITOS 
(Lyrics from Gabriela Mistral's poem "Piececitos")

Piececitos de niño,
azulosos de frío,
cómo os ven y no os cubren,                                                                               Dios mío!

El hombre ciego ignora  
que por dónde pasáis,                                                                                            una flor de luz viva                                                                                               dejáis;

Que allí donde ponéis                                                                                                   la plantita sangrante,                                                                                                  el nardo nace más 
fragante.

Piececitos de niño,                                                                                                   dos joyitas sufrientes,                                                                                          ¡cómo pasan sin veros,                                                                                          las gentes!

In My Bad Dream

Silver stars flying spirits  By Zitou & Paule

Cast of Characters:
Single Use & Recycled -- @user-995867230 -- Bill — acousitc rhythm and lead guitar and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums and percussion
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth strings
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — acoustic rhythm guitar, production, mix, and mastering
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

A bit late for the end of summer, but I hope you enjoy this melancholic atmosphere.

This is a song I started composing in August 2024, with the idea of ​​featuring a real guitar solo, especially at the end. This summer, I approached Chris Grant @chris-grant-554540731 about joining the project. He loved the idea, and what I've included here is the result of that collaboration. His solo made a huge impression on me, and I'd like to thank him for his fantastic contribution. Without that guitar, this song wouldn't exist! Thank you so much, Chris!

The Summer's End

Summer's End

[Verse 1]
I should have known
You would be
Stoically listening
To the sound 
To the sound as the feet hit the the ground of the pavement
To echoes of whispered bereavement

[Verse 2]
I should have known
You would be
Sleeplessly pacing
Your room in the gloom of the news cast
Words falling fast
Ears straining for peace

[Bridge]
Warn winter clothes
Our soul stretched thin
By the ricochet of hope found and taken
Bruised by the whims of those
Casting stones
On the wrong side of history

[Verse 4]
I will not disappear
My hand in yours
We will not disappear
For the whims of those
Casting stones
On the wrong side of history

Lament of a Mother (On the Loss of Civil Liberties)

As a composer, I am fortunate to have collaborated with incredibly talented artists from SoundCloud. This includes my latest album with the truly extraordinary soprano Maribel Villarroel and the masterful arranger and pianist René Calderón for 'Canciones para Pablo Neruda.' These songs are based on the poems of the great Pablo Neruda, and permission has been granted by the Pablo Neruda Foundation. Please listen, Maribel is a tour de force and her and René's interpretation of Neruda and these songs is so heartfelt. I am so deeply moved and appreciative of their artistry.

Other albums are 'Entre Jupiter y Marte,' and 'Reflections.' The remarkable tenor Ricardo Tamura, accompanied by the accomplished pianist Lucy Arner, performed 'Entre Jupiter y Marte'. Ricardo and Lucy are both amazing. These songs were co-written with the acclaimed author Antonio Skarmeta, which is my most special and dear honor. 'Reflections' is a collection of my earlier works that were wonderfully interpreted by the gifted pianist Javier Gonzales.

Additionally, these albums are accompanied by musical scorebooks filled with beautiful art, created by great Chilean, American, and Japanese artists. These books, with the same titles as the albums, are available on Amazon.com.  'Canciones para Pablo Neruda" has been registered with the Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio de Chile.

Another special collaboration among many is with Paul-Maurice Roche, the incredible pianist and composer.  Thank you for taking a song to new levels of nuance and emotion.

I compose all the time, so there are many other songs here. Thank you for your support!

Pamela
