grandparents had a cottage when i was a kid.  i remember laying in the sand and watching the seagulls float on the wind.  this would be a good soundtrack for that.

20 JUNE SONGS

Evil Came To Town

Jump in the River

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually, as part of a future solo album)

Sometimes the synchronicities come together so perfectly, you can’t help but laugh. I’ve been working on this song for a few weeks now; a piece inspired by a charmingly snarky friend of mine, from my favorite chat group. And on the day I planned to release it, I discover it’s also our host’s birthday. So it is with great excitement that I get to dedicate this quirkiest of songs to our dear friend Eddie Shook; the host of ‘Anything Goes’ (now broadcasting on alt-Thursdays on Mixlr (http://mixlr.com/sleepy-bass-radio/); then uploaded to Mixcloud (https://www.mixcloud.com/DJMenamenasta/)). Thank you Eddie, for 4.5 fantastic years (at least, that’s when I joined in. Haha) of great music; and for introducing me to a wonderful new circle of friends. You truly know how to put together an evocative and entertain show; and draw a kind and friendly audience as well.

Now to share some of the funnest things that have resulted from Eddie’s show over the years, starting with the title of this song… *nudges Janine gently into the spotlight*. Thanks to Eddie's generosity, my music has made an appearance pretty much every week since I discovered ‘Anything Goes’. My songs are usually nestled in between a modern day band emulating the electro sounds of the 80s or 90s, and a band authentically from the 60s or 70s (the show is very diverse, as the title suggests). Two shows ago, as my latest creation was playing, Janine made the comment ‘Your music always has this Subversive Robot Leprechaun element’, and everyone in the chat room loved the comment. After a brief discussion, we concluded… I needed to make that song. And so here it is. And thank you, Janine… for being the impetus behind this one. :)

Next wonderful story. Even before I discovered ‘Anything Goes’, Carlos was already a regular attendee in chat. When I first heard his music, I was honestly overwhelmed. My ears were not prepared for his depth and breadth of instrumental skill, and his time signatures quite simply boggled my mind. But after several shows I began to see the brilliance in the structure; and after several more, I began to ask questions. Carlos is truly generous with his knowledge, and he always takes time to explain musical concepts to me. Just listening to the show, I learned so much about music theory. Recently, Carlos generously offered to teach me some music theory basics (as well as how to actually play piano), and now a whole new phase of my life has begun… at the age of 52. And after just a few lessons, I can now play several musical scales and chords (like the Minor Pentatonic scales, as well as finally understanding that whole Circle of Fifths and Fourths thingy). So thank you, thank you, thank you, my friend. I can’t put into words how exciting this is for me.

And then of course there are all the collaborative projects that have resulted from this show (and the connections that I’ve made). I’m now at 20 collaborations/remixes; all with people I discovered (or actually met) on the show… and it’s a spectacular list: Carlos, Janine, Darren and Kelley (Keldari Station), Johanna (jOjO’Star), Stoney (Stone Catcherye), Jason (Asleep with Headphones and Lazy Dada, and also the generous provider of the Mixlr account), Michael (Think Good Audio), Frank and Kara (Honor in Treason), and Cheryl and Bevan (Vague Notion). I’m honored to have met all these talented musicians, and privileged to have worked with many of them. So… many thanks to all of you as well.

So there you go, Eddie. Thank you for everything. Happy birthday, my friend. I hope you are having a wonderful day today. And I hope this quirky little song puts a smile on your face. I look forward to chatting with you again next Thursday. :)

And for the rest of you SC music lovers, I hope you enjoy ‘Subversive Robot Leprechaun’. :D

No A.I. was used to create this track!

Around January 20th my friend from work asked me to prepare for him some music for his graphics reel project. And here is result. Mostly done in one evening. Original track has 36 seconds, however, for SoundCloud purposes, I extended this "track" and added a finish. Finally this track didn't find his way to final product, but I think it's a decent project to share ;)

Main hero of this track is still awesome, 18 years old, soft synth from Native Instruments - Massive. Beside that I've used heavily filtered Heavyocity Foundation Emotive Choir and couple of percussive samples from Ableton Live libraries.

Gimmie Some Energy!

Gimmie Some Energy! (Graphics Reel Background Music)

I am a splatter sheet
I am a sponge
I am a counter 
In some godless gods game

But most of all
I am a river
That never dries
I am a rock immovable
I am a body
That lights up the sky

I am a silken lightweight
Sheer blue cloth
Fairest of fair
I am a garden
That sometimes
Cries out for sunshine

But most of all
I am a river
That never dries
I am a rock immovable
I am a body
That lights up the sky

I Am A River

1980's inspired nostalgia. 
Co produced with my wife, Olivia Grant, as she recommended for me to change the original lead guitar part so it is more melodic and not loads of notes played in your face. I think it worked for the better.
Hope you all enjoy listening 🎧

Lyrics:

The first step I've made 
had burnt me down without a trace
 Inhaling smoke, I've exhaled you

Suffocating underwater 
I hope I won't go much further 
breathless watching how my world goes upside down 
Suffocating underwater
 I hope I won't go much further upside down

I'm the last leaf, you are the wind - 
strong and cold, soon I'm falling, 
But it's better to be on the ground 
than soaring high and never be found

Upside Down - OMCB

WHISPERS.wav

Neno, is a multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player, and occasionally singer with a warm, fragile voicecolor. He has also another project/page, Danen II (covers and support). We worked in the recent past together, resulting in songs expressing deep emotional feeling.

The instrumental "Lost souls" cuts already deep in the heart.. The lyrics i found in the deepest well.

Lost souls

If nothing is your name
And love is just a game
If it’s in  the wrong direction
that you’re looking for connection,

And you reach out for acceptance
And you want to be seen
But no one seem to care and everyone is mean

If you’re longing for attention
And you’re screaming it out
But alone in the desert
No one hears your shout
And you’re talking with the devil
Corse he is the only one 
Who tries to figger out 
what you want
