Lost & Found | Part II

The fragility of the possibility of love. It can be difficult to come out of ourselves and share ourselves with another and finding the right balance to know not to trust something too good on the one hand, and on the other hand, not to be afraid of our own fear and to learn to comfortably match to each other's rhythm.

Thank-you to Roberto Bohrges for offering up this composition for me to put lyrics and my voice to, and to Bryan McDaniel for the guitar.

Fragile Heart - Roberto Bohrges, Maria Bourgeois, Bryan McDaniel

Ventotene, a small island in the Mediterranean. Under a breathtaking starry sky, waiting for the dawn.
Thanks to @RosinDust for her gorgeous violins. I am always grateful for her willingness and enthusiasm.
In the last period I worked a lot on things written some time ago, so I had not composed anything new for a few months and, as always happens in these cases, I was a little afraid of having run out of creative vein. That's why, with this new piece, I'm happy and ready for the next time when I'm definitely going to ask myself, once again, "oh my god, is this over?" :)

Horizon 22

Composing skills depend on your ingenuity. The solution to the melody making that I had been worried about was divided into small pieces and distributed in the song. I also fell in love with the huge sound bass I hated. 
　This is the first time I've made a powerful track.
Those who have listening ears as usual may find that they lack mastering skills.

Breaking through the limits: balancing power and ambient (219)

From an early age I was fascinated by the music that always played through my childhood home.
My father was a musician my brother is still a touring and recording artist . So music was just an important way of life.
Technology as changed so much it’s ridiculous what we can do now compared to back then. It still blows my mind especially when you have grown with it and fully understand the difference.
Unlike my kids who just think I’m a dinosaur but yet still listen to my music influences. 
The first single I ever bought was Ever  Fallen In Love by The Buzzcocks and the B-side was Just Lust . If you comment let me know your first single. 
 I always played the Bsides as much as the Asides and would make an album up on a TDK 90 dedicated to them.
Memory’s of looking out of the window with my Sony Walkman listening to the cassette. Passing time to get to our holiday destination. 
This song is a tribute to the vinyl Bsides that influenced me along the way . With a summer feel to catch what’s left of it.  🌞


To The B -Sides ( lyrics )

My Blue 7inch stacking portable record player 
I could flip the hits for a Bside multi layer 
Its all the rage and its so strange 
How technology as really changed 


Chorus 

That ever to happened to the B-sides
I was listening travelin to the seaside 
That ever happened to the B-sides
Recorded On a TDK 
Ready for my holiday 
What ever happened to the B-sides x2

I was the Ultimate bedroom rockstar
If I could bottle it up in The Jam jar 
All this was is just  dreams of children 
But I would  always love to flip to 
The b-side of the hit 

Chorus 

Into finishing on 

Flip the hit x4

To The B-Sides ~ Conscience Of Kings

This is my first song using only eurorack modular synth gear for all the sounds (except the beat, from a "toy" Yamaha PSS-50, & the guitar solo*).  It's also the first in decades with me doing "real" singing, haha, & whistling, wth?! ;)  It needed vocals so I made up some lyrics (below) which fit the creepy mood.  Don't worry, it's not autobiographical.

*Special thanks to Allan Abrenica for performing the guitar solo! - I composed it on a synth but it needed a real guitar.  Check him out https://soundcloud.com/lost-ph and https://soundcloud.com/ageara/tracks. Thanks as well to Steve Newland https://www.thelightafternoon.com/ for his generous assistance with noise reduction for the PSS-50 & Clint Collins https://soundcloud.com/user-836903146 for finding the perfect song image: "Hand with Reflecting Sphere" by Maurits Cornelis Escher (colorized).

Lyrics:
You, looking at me, want to know what I'm thinking
But I won't tell you oh no
Won't tell you
None of your business

Do, do you really think
There's the slightest chance
That we will ever agree on anything?

No, you're not my kind of person
No you're not my kind you see
This is just the way it is
Try not to blame it all on me

So I'm blocking your transmission?
Can you forgive this imposition
On all of your well-laid plans?
Shame on me
So inconvenient

No, you're not my kind of person
No you are not my kind you see
This is just the way it is
Try not to blame it all on me

No, you are not my kind of person
No you are not the kind I need
This is just the way it is
Try not to bleed all over, me...

Disquiet Junto Project 0593: The Charm
The Assignment: Record the second third of an asynchronous trio.

Just added some guitar to @half-unusual and @daniel-diaz 's track from last week.

Frequencies — Drift Notion’s lo-fi suite mapped to calming frequency beds. Each track pairs a specific tone (alpha/theta/delta pulses; 432/528/639/741…) with dusty drums, warm tape, and neon ambience to steer the mood—from morning clarity to midnight deep sleep. Built for study, journaling, decompressing; play it straight through for a day-to-night arc or drop into the emotion you need.

Echoes 174 – Pain Relief

Let's call it a day

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

😮‍💨😔


When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
