The intention of this piece: a roller coaster for your brain, using variation in arpeggio patterns as the primary musical device to evoke wheels in motion as well as the twists and turns. This piece is completely arpeggiated (no simultaneously struck notes), and the harmonies created through sustain are relatively noncommittal (lots of suspended chords to keep the listener feeling "suspended"), and lots of note spacing to break up the melody, leaving the listener to hone in on the arpeggio patterns as the focal point; the song invites the listener in with a long ascending arpeggio followed by a descending arpeggio, then a sequence of ascending arpeggios with descending root notes evokes the motion of a wheels (oscillation around a monotonic center of mass) before more complex patterns are introduced.  

Mathematical feature of this piece: one way to quantify the complexity in arpeggio patterns is to look at possible permutation patterns that appear in consecutive strings of notes.  Taking a consecutive string of distinct notes and ordering them according to pitch, one can assign a permutation.  All of the 24 permutations of size 4 are realized at least once in this song.  This explains the song art which depicts the Cayley diagram for the permutation group of size four.

If You Say So

'scallies' with Isaac and the Apple

I've been listening lately 
To the shite that they play on the radio daily
Nothing quite can excite, too frothy to sway me 
It’s all far too light more like coffee than gravy 

Where’s all the rock stars gone 
The ones who leave it all in their songs
The ones who grab you by the balls and make you sing along
And I’m not joking, these kids today
Not even smoking all far too gay 
And I mean that in the very best way
That you're supposed to use it nowadays 

Ladies and gents I don’t know the answer
We need 4 ill raised scally’s 
Not sixteen shit dancers 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish. 

Tell me, folks, what's your recipe? (grilled cheese)
First, dump creativity. (Yes please)
Make it bland for all the sheep
who walk blind through life, superficially. (Not deep)
Take their voice, give 'em words to speak  (thought free)
nor a choice but to hit repeat. ( bought three)
Prey on them 'cause their minds are weak, 
and likely to fork out about a g per seat, (fuck me)
buy your merch, wear it in the street. (ok)
Advertise your shit for free. (No way)
To feel a sense of community
though nothing you say, play or do is unique.  (Per say) 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish. 

Over saturation splitting at the seams
Radio rubbish just don’t appeal to me
Shiny shit, opium for the masses
Not about tunes 
Just folks shaking asses
It’s gone too far to save
Sgt pepper and the walrus turning in their graves 

It's so hard for real folks to make love with
all of the noise from this radio rubbish.

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

Sometimes we forget to say thank you
To those who deserve it the most
Some shine in the dark
And cares for our wounded hearts

Chorus:
I just want to say thank you
I am grateful, I am touched
All the good things you did for me
You are someone I want to be

Some gives it all away
With a big smile on their face
Some have a heart made of gold
Some are warm when its cold

Chorus..

Chorus..

Sometimes we don't know
What we have until its gone
If only we had seen the good
And said thank you when we should

Chorus...

I just want to say thank you
I am grateful, I am touched
All the good things you did for me
You are someone I want to be..

Thank You !

RUNAWAY STARS - THE UNEXPURGATED CODE

We have a duty to be here
Without us
Who'd see the runaway stars
Who could walk along the beach
Look for seventh waves
And feel the wind up high
We sit and talk all
Through the night
Travel our world and share our castaway finds

We have a duty to be here
To hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

There is a reason
To turn the page
Quantum runes feed today’s exit phase
We burned new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

Inside our bubble
We heard your tongue
Repeating echoes paraphrase the song

Break

We burnt new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

And we have a duty to be here
Without us who would see the runaway stars

Solo

Without us who'd see the runaway stars

And we have a purpose
To exist to hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

Don’t lay down and rest now
Lift your head
The stars change colour as they drift past your bed
The Sun is expanding
Eternal night
May return to shield our escape flight

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

And we have a duty to be here
Without us
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would count the runaway stars

The Runaway Stars - The Unexpurgated Code

Contemporary Eyebrows

Andy Mineo Ft Lecrae VS Young Thug (Dramantic Remix)

A_Napos_Oldalon_( Holiday_Mix )

cherry pie got a piece shifty 2 60 bpm take 1 2928

Songster version was a little ‘copla’ about not being able to be with, nor without, a loved person.  As usual, I’ve ‘upgraded’ it, process from which you only get the final result, normally. 

But, following lyrics’ contradictions, I not only serve parts with different levels of (dis)order in heavy rock - flamenco sauce, but raw vs very cooked parts as well, starting with the improvised phone recording of the very first idea I had to develop the song, so please excuse my failures and noises.

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)  /  I know where you're coming from (Don’t you leave again)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pena,        /  when you come with that sweet sad face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes llorando sin que te duela,     /  when you come crying without any pain,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando dices que quieres hablar conmigo,  /  when you say that you want to talk to me,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando quieres estar al lado mío,                /  when you want to be by my side,

te veo venir (x3)                                           /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pilla,          /  when you come with that sweet sly face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa sonrisa, chiquilla,    /  when you come with that smile, little girl,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)
