The autonomous subway in Suwon South Korea opened and it has a front glass window. This is a long exposure going through the tunnel.

The stopwatch was captured from the 60 minutes intro:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb6UgPSdp0o
and compressed to match the BPM of the song.

We are continually late and trying to beat the clock 
while trying to get from one place to the next.
Technology has done a pretty good job of reducing our transit time.
In imagining how to musically depict the sensation of getting up to speed,
I wondered at what techniques might be possible...
AND
...How might it be done without changing the tempo in the least?
It eventually dawned on me that nothing new had to be invented,
because we have all experienced this...maybe without even noticing it.
Going from Legato to Stacatto, 
and to packing more and shorter duration notes into each measure,
then cranking up the pitch into a higher key...to add just a dash of tension.

Accelerate

Inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Klara and the Sun". Chamber strings, piano, guitar, harp.

And the Sun

La tension se relache avec « Great Sorrow », pièce acoustique assumée au cœur de cet EP.

Requiem

Requiem - Part I-IV

J'adore cette chanson de Francis Cabrel et je me suis permis de la reprendre sans prétention. A la fois simple et pourtant si belle et si poétiquement érotique.

(Translated below for non french people)

---
T'avais mis ta robe légère
Moi l'échelle contre un cerisier
T'as voulu monter la première
Et après...
Y'a tant de façons, de manières
De dire les choses sans parler
Et comme tu savais bien le faire
Tu l'as fait...
Un sourire, une main tendue
Et par le jeu des transparences
Ces fruits dans les plis du tissu
Qui balancent...
S'agissait pas de monter bien haut
Mais les pieds sur les premiers barreaux
J'ai senti glisser le manteau
De l'enfance...
On n'a rien gravé dans le marbre
Mais j'avoue souvent y penser
Chaque fois que j'entends qu'un arbre
Est tombé...
Un arbre c'est vite fendu
Le bois quelqu'un a dû le vendre
S'il savait le mal que j'ai eu
A descendre...
D'ailleurs en suis-je descendu
De tous ces jeux de transparences
Ces fruits dans les plis des tissus
Qui balancent... 
J'ai trouvé d'autres choses à faire
Et d'autres sourires à croiser
Mais une aussi belle lumière
Jamais...
A la vitesse où le temps passe
Le miracle est que rien n'efface l'essentiel
Tout s'envole en ombres légères
Tout sauf ce goût de fièvre et de miel
Tout s'est envolé dans l'espace
Le sourire, la robe, l'arbre et l'échelle
A la vitesse où le temps passe
Rien, rien n'efface l'essentiel
J'ai trouvé d'autres choses à faire
Et d'autres sourires à croiser
Mais une aussi belle lumière
Jamais...
Et voilà que du sol où nous sommes
Nous passons nos vies de mortels
A chercher ces portes qui donnent
Vers le ciel...

You had your light dress on
I the ladder against a cherry tree
You wanted to go up first
And then...
There are so many ways, so many ways
To say things without speaking
And since you knew how to do it 
You did it...
A smile, an outstretched hand
From all this transparency effects
These fruits in the folds of fabric
Swaying...
It wasn't a question of climbing high
But with my feet on the first rungs
I felt the coat slip
Of childhood...
There is nothing engraved in marble
But I confess I often think about it
Every time I hear that a tree
Has fallen...
A tree is quick to split
Someone must have sold the wood
If he knew how hard it was for me
To come down...
And did I come down
From all this transparency effects
These fruits in the folds of fabric
That sway... 
I found other things to do
And other smiles to meet
But such beautiful light
never...
At the speed of time
The miracle is that nothing erases the essential
Everything flies away in light shadows
Everything but that taste of fever and honey
It's all gone in space
The smile, the dress, the tree and the ladder
At the speed of time
Nothing, nothing erases the essential
I found other things to do
And other smiles to meet
But a light as beautiful
never...
And now from the ground we stand
We spend our mortal lives
Searching for those doors
To heaven...

I want to thank my audio tech professor and my good friend Uli Behringer for giving me a minimoog for free. Enjoy this boss battle theme about my fight with a sociopathic duplighost in a church.
