Here's an old Scottish tune that used to be a sailors' song or barcarolle. It's now played as a lullaby or as a Slow March for the pipers. Due to some of the lyrics that are attached to it, the song can illustrate the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the last of the Stewart's pretender, toward the isle of Skye, after the battle of Culloden (1746). As you may know, it is also the main theme of the TV Series “Outlander”.

Voici une ancienne mélodie écossaise qui était autrefois une chanson de marins ou une barcarolle. Elle est maintenant jouée comme une berceuse ou comme une Slow March pour les joueurs de cornemuse. En raison de certaines des paroles qui y sont attachées, la chanson peut illustrer la fuite de Bonnie Prince Charlie, le dernier des prétendants Stuart, vers l'île de Skye, après la bataille de Culloden (1746). Comme vous le savez peut-être, c'est aussi le thème principal de la série télévisée "Outlander".

The Skye Boat Song

Adelma is one of the cities described by Marco Polo to Emperor Kublai Khan in Italo Calvino's book Invisible Cities. Adelma is part of the Cities and Memory thematic series. It is a reflection on memory, mourning, and the fact that at a certain age, the dead outnumber the living in the traveler's mind.

Adelma est l'une des villes décrites par Marco Polo à l'empereur Kublai Khan dans le livre Les Villes invisibles d'Italo Calvino. Adelma est classée dans la série thématique des Villes et la Mémoire. Elle est une réflexion sur le fait qu'à un certain âge, les morts sont plus nombreux dans l'esprit du voyageur que les vivants.

Adelma

Sooo, yeah, it's a song that's an apology of sorts to my kid for suggesting she become a ninja killer assassin in 'Revenge of Ceres.' 

Sorry, honey! Just daddy working through his issues.

Ceres Lament

Thank you. It's hard to convey Japanese sentiment. On the surface, it comes across as cover art, but I aim to create a sound that coexists within techno music.

DISTRACTIONS ALL AROUND (G. Di Nunno)

Feel the pull of more routine and all that must be done
With little left to feed the self, a grinding down that tires
Hours fly then disappear; I watch the good times run
A struggle to make the moves, while tangled in the briars.

All seems rushing onward
Trips without directions

Went down to the river's edge to gather up my thoughts
To take apart and sort them out, then put them back once more
Back to life a list to-do and let the bad things rot
I'll make peace with choices made, disguises I once wore.

Past no longer haunting
That's not where I'm going.

Distractions all around
A pent-up feeling grips
As dreaded days approach
Anxiety at play.

Toss around and write it out with something left behind
Own it as I've lived this span, reveal these mountains climbed.

Answers soothe the raw nerve
Calming waves around me.

All thought explains the ways
Found peace with what I've done
And tamed the rattled mind
That brings me here today.

So moving from this point
I'll learn by saying no
Without an ounce of guilt
My life and time my own.

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white  
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control…….. 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control! 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...
