AB Playlist 019 Part 1

For those who follow me and while waiting to recover from my hearing problem, I searched in the box of the Métapop period...special thanks to Ashesndreams for her acapella.

LA HORA EXACTA  feat Ashesndreams

This track has been baptized by my 10 year old daughter “Not in this world”. I like it, it suits its special atmosphere. 

Compositionwise, the track follows an AABAB structure. It starts in part A with monophonic lines in the left and the right hand (the first chord of the track is used @0:29) and the track does not shift to polypohony until 0:45. The left hand has a rigid rhythmic pattern of a half followed by two quarters (occasionally another half) that is broken the first time by an eight at 0:41, increasing the tension just before the switch to polyphony (part B). 

Left and right hand in part A are interwoven in that they only rarely have notes played simultaneously. Rather they mostly complement each other in that when one hand plays a note, the other rests. This is done by shifting the left and the right hand by an eight note – the basic 4/4 rhythm is maintained by the left hand while the right hand dances around this pattern with a shift of 1/8. Notationwise this requires tons of ligature bows to depict the notes that lie across the bars (see youtube video for scores). The shifting by 1/8 allows the two hands to complement each other and creates a melodic carpet by intertwining the two melodic threads.

With the start of part Bs polyphony around 0:45, the track falls into a melancholic downward melody interrupted by brief glimpses of hope. While the right hand underlines now the melody with chords, the left hand is now deviating from the strict rhythm to more playful accompaignment with eights. 

The track then repeats the initially monophonic melody of part A, yet now with a bit more chord texture in the right hand and an arpeggio-like quarter pattern in the left hand. Afterwards a more intense variation of the melancholic part B fades finally out into the oblivion of the universe. 

Some explanatory videos to underline this:

The track has been recorded via a pianoTeq Steinway. However, I used four mikes in the virtual setup, two of which I put very close together. I guess, each sound recorder who understands something of his affairs would condemn me for that, but to me, the resonances give a very peculiar feel to the piano tone which suits nicely the mood that I wanted to express.

Note: For my friends on Sound Cloud who don't speak any french the word phoque (pronounced phuck) in french means a seal. Hence the title of the song in english would be The Blues of A Seal In Alaska. It's the story of a seal in Alaska whose girlfriend leaves him go perform in a circus in the United States and he's got The Blues

This is my version of the classic québécois song originally written by Michel Rivard. The english equivalent when "feelings" are concerned would be a combination of Summertime and House of The Rising Sun as far as immortal songs are concerned.

C'est ma version de la chanson classique québécoise écrit par Michel Rivard. L'équivalent anglais comme "feeling" serait un combination de Summertime et The House of The Rising Sun en ce qui concerne des chansons immortelles.

I'm exactly who you think I am

when you can feel heaven is home lift your voice to the Lord
heaven is my home

A total "shift" from my last release, my first dirty breakbeat type track. Experimenting with different textures in this one for sure. 

Shift

Speedmike a eu la gentillesse de me proposer ce très joli morceau de guitare afin de poser une voix dessus. L'inspiration au piano m'est venue rapidement ce qui m'a permis d'écrire le texte.
Cela a été un réel plaisir de travailler sur ce morceau. 
Merci à toi Speedmike et à toi Lena qui est venue poser délicatement ta voix :)

Paradoxe (Speedmike / Lena / Steph Ouna)

A nudibranch has antennae like ears of a rabbit. It crawls slowly and steadily on the bottom of the clear sea swaying its antenae.
Thank you.

This song is a spin-off from my song "GIN-PO - in the coral reef -". These two songs share some of the phrases.

We all wing it sometimes. Some more than others. Slipping between the cracks in life. Walking between the raindrops. I do it all the time! We all enjoy playing this one, got this in one take, sweet potato. To everyone supporting us thank you so much, its appreciated. Greetings from outer space! Captain Mental x

YOU LEAD ME AWAY, TO THE SKY
I'M FEELING FREE, AND SO ALIVE
TO HIT ME DOWN, IT'S SO SLOW

WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
LIVING A LIE, TO SAY
I'M ALIVE IN THE SKY
ALWAYS GOT YOU ON MY MIND

NO HELP FOR ME, I'M ALL ALONE
THE CHANCE I TAKE, I'M NOT AFRAID
A WAY OF LIFE, IT'S NOT FOR FREE

WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
LIVING A LIE, TO SAY
I'M ALIVE, AN ALIBY
ANOTHER STORY WILL GET YOU BYE
(break)
GET ME OUT, OF THIS COLD
I'M MISSING MY, GREATEST FEAR
DON'T LET ME GO, GOT FALLING TEARS

WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
READY OR NOT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
WAITING ALL NIGHT IN THE SKY
TONIGHT AND FOREVER
LIVING A LIE, TO SAY
I'M ALIVE IN THE SKY
ALWAYS GOT YOU ON MY MIND

sometime we have to face the fact
we are not getting any younger

I'M ALIVE
