A song about climate change and our effect on the planet, its climate and our future. Inspired by a Nature paper about 'the trillionth tonne' of CO2 emissions, this song had/has a working title of 'Sonoma' and was originally about grapes 'withering on the vine'... I didn't realise that 'withering on the vine' is an expression about doing nothing while a problem gets worse and worse, which fits in very well with the subject of climate change.

This song is the 'twin' song of 'Fool' - both songs were written within 48 hours of each other back in May, and both songs were recorded and published online within 24 hours of each other... in August. Both songs were written and played using a bouzouki as opposed to a guitar.

wither on the vine
poisoning the wine

the futures on the line
running out of time

what have we done
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

beyond the trillionth tonne
planets going to burn
facing everyone
the barrel of a gun

too late now
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

what have we done
don't blame it on the sun
the time will come

Beyond The Trillionth Tonne

At the very beginning, there was nothing.
And then! You will hear life blossom in this immensity, these heartbeats that launch the cycle of possible life in the universe.
And then the big bang. that resonates again and again...

Made with MOOG Modular / Multi-tracks
 It's a hell of a piece and doing it on a MOOG Modular V (even in software version and without a "ready-made" sample) is a fantastic adventure and a hell of a job (first draft in 2007 and release in 2019), but I'm happy about it and if it pleases others... it's even better.

Peacocks swagger. This song swaggers like a peacock. Part 2.  A couple of hours playing around with some loops, pitch shifts and effects.

Recorded live with my bandmates back in 2018. This one was just for a bit of fun, but it turned out ok! I love the original song but how we came up with this Police-inspired version I don't remember!

Somebody That I Used To Know (cover)

One day I was traversing Soundcloud and came across the fabulous Italian poet, Ilaria Boffa. This is why I love Soundcloud. @ilaria_boffa. Her words and voice flowed out of my web browser and into my heart and soul. So  I reached out and begged her to collaborate with me. Lucky for me she agreed and then allowed me some creative license. So this is for you Ilaria, to you and your voice. May the world be as touched as I was by your words and creative spirit.

Ilaria took the piece published here on SC as "Music for Trains and Station Platforms" and captured it's mood and wrote some stellar, powerful words that created a whole new life and vision for the music. I applaud and am humbled by her multilingual approach to her art using a beautiful vividness of expression of human soul! Bravo Ilaria , bravo.

Days in Autumn (homage to ‘You Must Believe in Spring’ by Bill Evans) 

we must believe in spring
Earth axis increases
its tilt to the Sun
dew comes, frost no more
vernal peers share light

many a time belatedly
days in autumn
prepare for cold and 
special smell of soil
many a time fitfully

oh we must believe in spring
let snow melt and streams swell
the hardiest flowers sprout
days in autumn
prepare for dark and
many a time forecast the yield

dobbiamo sperare nella primavera
l’asse della terra aumenta
l’inclinazione al sole
giunge la rugiada, scongela la brina
i pari dividono la luce in primavera 

spesso in ritardo
i giorni d’autunno
preparano al freddo
all’odore tipico della terra
spesso irregolari nel modo

oh dobbiamo sperare nella primavera
lasciamo la neve sciogliere e i fiumi gonfiare
che spuntino i fiori più temerari 
i giorni d’autunno
preparano al buio e
spesso dicono il raccolto

Days in Autumn w/ Ilaria Boffa
