Description: I'm fascinated by the fact that the last section of a chaffinch song often changes, I'd love to know why this is. Bird song is amazing!

Fixed some parts from the preliminary mix, restructured, additional mastering applied..

This is part of the Myth Wave collection, see the "buy" link for the free-to-download album on Bandcamp...

Mnemosyne (factual mix)

If you have a hobby that allows you to retreat from the world and the hustle and bustle, you can consider yourself lucky. We have our music for that. Whether you compose music yourself, play a musical instrument, or simply listen to music, you have something that allows you to retreat and recharge, even though music itself can be demanding. This song is a tribute to “our secret downstairs room” where our music becomes reality. The song is 100% improvised. Each of us played his/her musical instrument and created this part: Benjamin E-guitar and E-bass, Michelle 1st/main piano, Jasmin strings and the 2nd piano. All of us wrote the lyrics and created the melody for the lyrics.
Our secret downstairs room
Our secret downstairs room, our secret.
We sneak down the stairs tonight/ our secret downstairs room, our secret.
 Escape and get out off sight/Our secret….
To the secret room we have the key/Our secret…
A place of magic we wanna be/Our secret…

The walls echo our sound. Guitars played and drums pound. 
We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world.

A place of magic and mystery where our own music can set us free
The guitar played hard, piano so soft, you hear our sound also above

Our secret downstairs room, our secret.
We play and the music gets loud/Our secret…
In this room we let it all out/…
We can Rock until the dawn/…
We hope this room it will live on/…

This place is more than just a room. It’s where we come to resume.
We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world.

It’s our own small secret getaway where we can forget the hectic of the day.
The guitar so  fast, piano so slow, that’s our own little private show.

We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world….

"Nel Museo nazionale romano di palazzo Altemps si conserva una testa in marmo che secondo la tradizione rappresenta un’Erinni addormentata. Gli occhi chiusi, i ciuffi dei capelli scarmigliati sulla fronte e la guancia, le labbra appena dischiuse, il volto della Furia – se di una Furia si tratta, sia essa Aletto, Megera o Tisifone – riposa quieto su un cuscino di buio marmo, come se sognasse.
Una furia che invece di gemere e urlare, scuotendo la chioma serpentina, chiude gli occhi e sogna, smentisce se stessa. Eppure proprio e soltanto il sogno o il sonno di una furia assomiglia al pensiero. Il pensiero non è soltanto contemplazione, è innanzitutto furore. Si dà pensiero, si dà contemplazione, solo se prima vi è stato furore, se guardando l’abominio degli umani e del mondo, la mente – diceva Bruno – discesa «ne la parte più inferna… si sente lacerare e sbranare». E solo se nel nostro eroico furore riusciamo a chiudere gli occhi e sognare, si ha vera quiete, si ha visione e teoria. I nostri sogni non sono allora fantasie a occhi aperti, che sappiamo ingannevoli e vane, ma verità a cui, anche se con gli occhi chiusi, non possiamo non credere, perché abbiamo prima visto la vendetta e l’errore. Il pensiero è questo acquietarsi del furore, è un’Erinni che sogna."

Giorgio Agamben

"In 1986 - after two years of militancy in a couple of Renaissance and Baroque music ensembles - I started composing music again and around 1988 - together with a group of friends and colleagues - I recorded a part of it. In 2008 I released that bounch of tracks on the American label Webbed Hand Records. Some of these pieces had already set out on the way, others had remained - as they say - in the drawer. However, they show the initial phase of a musical research that is still in progress, despite having crossed new roads and traveled new paths, meeting new travel companions. I hope you will find it interesting."

I have a great distaste for not making music.

Here you’ll find all of the songs I have written , my improvisations, as well as a good few weird experiments. I aim to keep changing my music, hopefully never getting stuck in a musical rut or staying in the same genre too long. When I started it was all one guitar stuff (no overdubs), and very bad sound production (i.e, no sound production!), but since then I’ve started adding more instruments such as drums bass and saz and I’m slowly but surely getting better at sound production. And last but not least, I am slowly but surely getting into singing. I welcome all feedback whether good or bad. Or indifferent. I also want to hear from those who are apathetic about my music! I recorded three albums:

Lifespan (2018):
soundcloud.com/user-429211267/sets/lifespan
The Telescope (2019):
soundcloud.com/user-429211267/sets/the-telescope
On these first two there is no sound production as such because I didn’t understand that stuff at the time, then I recorded this one:

 Argentavis Magnificens (2021):
soundcloud.com/user-429211267/sets/electric-juniper-saz
at which point I was finally starting to get my head around the sound production thing. I’m currently working on an album called Neurotypical Empire, Vol 1: 2244, the first song of which I have released:

All are welcome here, except of course bigots. If you are racist, homophobic or transphobic, I respectfully ask that you go away.
