Sempre un piacere, ascoltare la tua musica

We don't have to cry

I am proud to introduce my first collaboration with Mizero (@mizero-two), an artist that I deeply admire and respect. She wrote some awesome lyrics for the weird backing track I had sent to her, and her beautiful, peculiar singing inspired me to further develop the music, overdubbing a bassline and a couple of guitar parts. Quite surprisingly, this piece eventually turned out to have a sort of a rock'n'roll vibe, even though we didn't do that on purpose. In fact, I guess it's a spontaneous combination of several musical styles, just for a change...
To say a word about the concept, I would simply describe it as a love song concerning time. We've thought of time as dark, heavy sonic matter relentlessly leaking out of the hands of a clock and slowly creeping its way into the distance between two lovers, be it a real or a figurative space. Of course, the nature of these lovers itself might be interpreted metaphorically...
Huge thanks to Mizero for offering me this great opportunity to create new music together!

Oh every minute of
every day I'm
dreaming of your
illuminating smile

Every second of
every minute
I'm dreaming of
a life with you
in it, my love

I wake up in the morning
and I'm missing your face
You're so far I feel
so out of place

When we talk on the phone
I'm dreaming of your eyes
I miss you more than
I even realized

Oh how the days are long
Oh how the day drags on
without you

Floating on this feeling I have
everytime I hear your voice
I would be there
or you would be here
if I had my choice

Oh how the days are long
Oh how the day drags on
Without you

Lyrics
Are you a fixed star 
of unknown location?
Strumming a particle guitar
Celestial creation.

Are you the beat of a solar storm
Travelling Earthbound
Of elemental form
Worshipping sundog.


To the sound of the whistling sun

Strumming a particle guitar

Are you a shooting star
in an absent moon sky
Dancing past
Jupiter and Mars
Through a billion and one stars?



Steve Pumphrey's inventiveness, musicality and virtuosic guitar playing have infused Particle Guitar with celestial splendour.

A Royal Affair - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Hardware Synth Instrumental through an amp right off of my studio floor

Part of an upcoming soon to be released Electronica album from moi :)

A track about a medieval like gathering to celebrate-discuss the couple's introductories, their arranged Royal Affair! The setting in my head, a high society pre-official-celebration event that takes place in the grand castle hall where the noble guests of honour attend the glamorous occasion fit for the chosen King and Queen yet to be!  They can say no if they wish so keep your fingers crossed for good luck as the families & related ties meet & greet highlighting the desirable qualities of each! The serious tone discussions linger about until progress is made, a final decision awaiting. So let us now politely curtsey, bow, fan, smile, hold the stance-stare-glare fixated! More trumpets now please! We so need the hype-vibe pumped up to make this vital connection go green! 

Keeping up with the obligatory motions is the name of this game...mode of course, diamonds and pearls, ornate embroidered design style...divine perfection creatures of the flirting-fine kind...good looks adorned in eye catching draping ruffling-puffing satins and velvety masculine jacket-suit-tail attire, embellished with piercing heavy metallics...to go on to say that all of this razzle-dazzle extraviganza to be accompanied with rustic wine goblets & rich colourful dine, circular dance activity, snotty chit-chat whispers and back stabbing schemes, the music picture mood of an ancient world what I'm trying to convey in a modern poppy way...not sure if I did exactly that or not...using just an Arturia Micro Brute Synth to sound something like an Indian Wooden Acoustic Harmonium or a Bag-Pipe was the challenge fun for me...to rather use, soley the synth and not my harmonium or *Bag-Pipe which I don't even play or own...to try and get the essence medieval feel somehow to shine through...Hmn, maybe yes? Maybe no? Not sure? Ponder over that notion...Hope you will enjoy this perhaps exciting number, REKHA XOXOXO

After a considerable amount of time, my old friend Simone (Mome) and I had the chance to record a piece of music together: a short unplugged ballad, a cover of a great classic by CS&N that we tried to render as finely as we could, adding a bit of an unconventional Middle-Eastern flavor. Heartfelt thanks to Mome for adding his awesome acoustic bass part on a couple of guitar tracks I'd recorded before leaving Tunisia. Only recently I had the chance to complete the song with vocals and a few bağlama licks, so... That's it, in hope it won't break anyone's ears. I should add that in fact Stephen Stills wrote this tune, but since the other two guys crucially contributed to its composition with their superb vocal harmonies, I thought it was right to mention the three of them as co-authors. Since we started playing together, about 36 years ago, we'd never covered anything by CSN, so I guess it was about time.
I warn you: despite of its partially exotic vibe, this one definitely sounds way more "traditional" than usual, and I must confess that it was in first place a way to try out my new mic and home studio setup, and a nice chance to jam with one of my best friends ever.
I went through quite a lot of changes these last months... I apologize to everyone because I haven't been around for a while, and I sincerely thank every friend who found the time to drop a line or listen to the stuff I put here. I'll try to reply to your comments and messages as soon as possible, and hopefully I'll have the chance to be more active in future, with new releases and reposts. I still have plenty of strange sounds hanging inside my brain, that's for sure.

You Don't Have To Cry

You Don't Have To Cry (Crosby, Stills & Nash cover) | Feat. Mome

This is a song about a dehumanized human being inserting code strings on the terminal console of his computer, and convincing himself of being somehow almighty or immortal, thanks to the privileged relationship he thinks he has established with the processor. But his computer's crude response is that he's just a freaking out mortal creature...

Terminal

This is meant to be a tribute not only to the rights owner, but also to those who had recorded previous versions of this traditional blues number: artists like Charlie Patton and Memphis Minnie, for instance... And of course it represents a humble homage to Sir Brian Jones.

This tune is meant to be a meditation about the results of the so-called “Arab Spring”, or possibly about some of the relationships going on between the "Third World" and Western countries...

Rainbow Brain

A song about the discrepancy between the idealization of a distorted individualism, constantly conveyed by contemporary mass media, and the actual standardization, or globalization, of human behaviours and actions that can be found today in Western or Westernized societies…

In loving memory of Massimo De Gasperi (1967-1999), a great musician and friend. There's currently no trace of his work on the internet, unfortunately, but he'd published an album with a German label a few months before passing away, if I remember correctly. It sounded way ahead of his time, and it still does today. I own a copy of it, but I'm not entitled to share it. I hope someone will do, someday.
He once called me while he was working on his album. One of his numbers' title was "Dead Hendrix", and he asked me if I could supply him with any recorded announcement of Jimi's death. He was planning to extrapolate a few words from it and use the samples on his track. Sadly I couldn't satisfy his request. I used to own dozens of Hendrix LPs and tapes, always loved and played his music, but I'd never been a collector. At the time, things like that couldn't be found on the internet.
A shot of heroin laced with strychnine killed him at 32.
In November 2019, a common friend asked me to join Massimo's 20th death anniversary party: "Come over and play", he said... I had to laugh, because he hadn't considered the fact that I was nearly 1000 miles away from home, and couldn't really afford to travel exclusively to join that party. So I recorded this tune, "That's Mean", very quickly, and about a week later I sent him the file. I easily found that Hendrix death announcement on YouTube, sampled a couple of sentences and used them in this song. He was so happy with it, included it in the music set for the night and told me that Massimo was very likely smiling from heaven while listening to it. I really hope this tune will make you all smile too.

This experimental acoustic piece is meant to portray the Phoenician goddess Tanit fighting for her life in the darkest depths of the sea… I'm encouraging disinformation here, because "true legends" about her don't relate her drowning... Fake news or T.S. Eliot's influence in this title?
