Dethronement Ode

Piece for damaged music box and out of tune acoustic guitar with two strings missing. 

I hadn't really known the old lady. The bonfire-guitar hanging on her wall was dusty and in poor condition. A matchbox-sized music box huddled on a shelf amongst books and letters, trying to play “The Third Man” correctly with some of it’s tongues missing. I looked around. All these remnants of a life would soon disappear. I had not known her. Her name was Eve.
(In Memoriam E. Willig 1948-2024)

Something About Eve

■概要(Overview)
雲の上まで続く断崖。
そこに設置されたエレベーター。
「最上階」には素晴らしい世界が広がっているらしい。
しかし、そこに行って帰ってきた人は誰もいないという。
「お客様、ようこそいらっしゃいました。(ウィィィィン・・　※妙な機械音)」
・・・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。

A cliff that extends above the clouds. An elevator installed there. 
They say a wonderful world unfolds on the "top floor." 
However, no one has ever returned from there.

"Welcome, dear guests. (Wiiiin... strange mechanical sound)" ...... 
That's the kind of song it is.

■歌詞
「エレベーター」

お客様ようこそ
いらっしゃいました
世にも珍しい
アトラクションです

超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


虹色のライトと
豪華な内装
外の世界から
「最上階」まで

超過重量は　投げ落とす　順番に
岩肌　踊り狂いながら　楽園めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　かき消されるだけ

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター ワイルドなアトラクション


最上階は見渡す限りのお花畑
あらゆる苦しみ　無くなってゆく
極楽浄土


超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける
転がり始めたら　転がり続ける
極楽浄土まで　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


■Lyrics (Translated)
"Elevator"

Welcome, dear guests You have arrived At a rare attraction
Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, they keep rolling

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Rainbow lights and luxurious interiors 
From the outside world To the "top floor"
Excess weight is thrown off, 
in order Dancing crazily along the rock face, 
aiming for paradise Crying or screaming, they are just drowned out

Elevator in nature Elevator, the wild attraction


The top floor is a flower field as far as the eye can see 
All suffering disappears In the heavenly paradise

Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, 
they keep rolling Once they start rolling, 
they keep rolling All the way to paradise

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Point1:elevator(エレベーター)

Chapter 223 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

noxpox- singing winds

Dadaistic music since 1904! 

I've added a donation button up there. 👆 Let me explain what I plan to do with it: 
I will use every donation under $10 to buy coffee and pay for Soundcloud, for example. 
Every donation over $10 will be collected and, once a certain amount has been reached, used to have a vinyl record pressed. 
I will use donations over $10,000 to buy myself a vineyard. 🤠

Further description and FAQ:
Somehow I wanted to post my old, "chaotic" or fallen out of style recordings here, but I realised that nowhere else can I express myself as freely as in this project.

I don't see sense in nonsense but I see nonsense in things that a lot of people call sense.

I did a lot of music in my life. Did Hardrock, Metal, Psychedelic-Rock, Swing, Jazz, Latin, Dance Music, modern and so called post-modern classic, even playback gigs and did some little film scores also. Everything that either brought some money in the pocket or gave some fun.

I have not studied music, either the conservatories did not want me or, in the other case, I didn't wanted them.
The Zwakkus project was for a long time a kind of discharge of frustration or a valve to let "it" simply flow, without caring about what some client or bandleader will think about. 
It then took me a little time to realize that this project is really unique and true to me and that I can't be this free anywhere. So I'm giving more energy into it and I'm having really fun with it. Knowing that this can't be everyones style, I am extremely grateful for everyone who can get involved!
Also I am very thankful for finding so much really authentic, inspiring and original stuff here on SC.

AI? Can go home! (Actually it can't, because it IS at home already, but nevertheless it should go home more😉)
