Wonderful modern blues, Nenad. So good, both of you :)

Man, that guitar tone on this is incredible!! And what a nice surprise hearing JJ's smooth and infectious percussion. Really pleasing tune to listen to, and no doubt I'll be listening to it more than once!

Hey Neno man, love your playing in JJ's funky song. Outstanding work here, both of you!

Really great vibe and fantastic musicianship

@jeff_roberts Thanks for your kind words from both of us

Part 4 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

Cooking Hard Boiled Eggs in a Cheap Motel In Adelaide Part 4

give up the lie

Between the Worlds

In the Balance

Per concludere ho scambiato fra loro le parti iniziali della mano sinistra e della mano destra.

To conclude I swapped the initial parts of the left hand and the right hand.

Ho cambiato il titolo iniziale in:
"Toccata pantonale senza respiro"
da  "Toccata pantonale senza sosta".

I changed the original title to:
"Pantonal Toccata without breath"
from "Pantonal Toccata without pause".

Toccata pantonale senza sosta

"Toccata" pantonale senza respiro (Pantonal "Toccata" without breath)

R.I.P. Angel ✨✨✨✨✨
———

La belle est dans ses pensées
Mais le destin l’a foudroyée
Tu es partie avec ta blonde innocence 
Ange brisé à jamais, refus du silence 

Iryna, la musique dans les cieux
Raconte la beauté de tes yeux
Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven
Tears And blood, I say Amen

Et le vent pleure ses souvenirs
Espoirs perdus, envolé l’avenir
Et le vent crie ton doux prénom
Rêves brisés, triste à mourir

Iryna, la musique dans les cieux
Raconte la beauté de tes yeux
Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven
Tears And blood, I say Amen

Oh oh…

Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven 

Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven 

Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven

IRYNA

Verse 1
People come into our lives, then fade away like ripples in a pond
We spend time together, it feels so right, but circumstances change and they move on. 
I think about them occasionally, I wonder what they’re up to.
Sometimes I get the urge call them out of the blue.
Chorus
All those different paths that I could have taken
Now I’m lying in the bed of my own making
The clock keeps ticking every single day
I tell myself there’s got to be a better way
Verse 2
People who I haven’t spoken to in such a very long time
We drifted away and now I’m past my prime 
If I walked past them, and they saw my face, would there be any hint of recognition
Cause time has a way of transforming you like a magician

Bridge 
It feels like I’m doing time, I’m just towing the line
Trying to make it through another hard-working day
There’s so much water under that bridge, I’m dying to know what’s on the other side of that ridge, and deep down I know I’m in a prison of my own making

Verse 3
All those Dreams I never followed, I took the safe road
I turned my back on creativity and shifted into a working horse mode
I’m back in the saddle, trying to play the game
Speaking what’s on my mind
It’s a race no one asked me to enter and I’m feeling far behind

Chorus
All those different paths that I could have taken
Now I’m lying in the bed of my own making
The clock keeps ticking every single day
I tell myself there’s got to be a better way
Outro
They say that’s the way the cookie crumbles,
And life can be a series of stumbles 
And all you can do is dust yourself off and try keep right on going
