wow   how did I miss this?! Awsome composition and fantastic playing. U n Gina sound great!!!

A wonderful piece and celebration alike, fabulous work by you both!

beautiful dynamics and expression in this track

Hey man, this is stunningly sublime! Excellent work from both of you.

In memoriam, the bombing of Guernica, Spain, April 26, 1937. A lamentation in music.

And in 2024, for the injured, displaced, and departed around the world as invading forces of tyranny rain down death and destruction upon innocent people.

I literally cried as I updated my old composition about the bombing of Guernica. 

Originally composed in GarageBand, I finished the first version of this song on April 26, 2013, not consciously aware that the date was the anniversary of the atrocity committed by fascists against civilians during the Spanish Civil War. I had had ambitions to create an animated short about its history and Picasso’s famous painting when I could afford the technology. So my first step was to use available resources and create the music, which I did 11 years ago. I have yet to produce the animation. Maybe someday. The cover art gives you an idea as to how I envisioned the graphics for the animated short.

This Guernica composition is my first attempt at composing neoclassical music. As a girl I would sing and hum made-up symphonies as I conducted an imaginary orchestra. I’ve got hundreds of improvised concertos, sonatas, fugues, and arias deep in my memory banks that sometimes creep into my contemporaneous music.

This week, as the anniversary of Guernica approached, I imported my old music file into my current DAW and refreshed it, adding French horn, the first instrument I played as a young student. I also added audio of propeller planes recorded live in March and April 2024. And I pushed the previous violin and cello parts to the limit, so if you hear a screeching violin or a groaning cello, it’s intentional; war gives millions of reasons to scream and wail. The composition’s 8-chord structure is repeated as if to state the obvious — we, humans, have yet to contain our violence individually and collectively. We witness and experience the horror of mass murder and war around the globe. Every. Damn. Day.

I realize my song probably isn’t going to be a favorite for listeners, not my usual chill music. But I’m also a firm believer in the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant. With this music about Guernica and the history of 1937, I am reminded how far we’ve come, and yet, how little we’ve changed. But change we must, and I believe humanity will change for the better. The question is when.

Guernica

Enter the mesmerising world of "Mantodea," a musical journey that delves into a future concept of the female species metamorphosing into a captivating Praying Mantis hybrid. In this enthralling narrative, we explore the evolutionary phenomenon where these ethereal beings transcend the boundaries of mere mortals, embracing a newfound prowess, and a captivatingly mysterious existence.

Allow yourself to immerse in the hauntingly harmonies, embodying the strength and grace of the evolved Mantodea. The music's dynamic interplay symbolises the complex dance between these enchanting beings and their male counterparts.

Thank you for lending me your ear and if you like the sunflowers don't forget to repost, like and follow.

Mantodea

Azazel has always been a mysterious name that has aroused great curiosity. It is mentioned in ancient Jewish writings and has been the source of inspiration for much fiction, including some of Isaac Asimov's stories to which my song refers.

Azazel

and now for something completely different…
This song had been half-finished for an age and in a spirit of new-found whimsy I have faux-finished it 😊.  I had rather a lot of fun singing the pixie backing vocals!  Written sung, made and played by Emma.

i saw mermaids, real live mermaids
swimming in that little bay
the secret one where dreams allow us
freedom yet for breathing

i saw elves, the wood-elf kind
when i was walking through the forest
green and golden sunshine drifts through
leaves and i feel magic

i feel magic in the air, i know i am alive at last
i can taste it on my tongue, it feels so.... it feels so....
i don’t know how i’ve been living here so long and never...
o... it’s magic

i saw serpents real live serpents
swimming in the backyard creek
twining tangle shadow waters
i can feel you calling – and the sun on water sparkles

i saw lights in many colours
i was holding out my hand to
gather in the pieces of you
floating on the water

i feel magic in the air, the endless possibilities, 
i taste them hold them on my tongue
run wild as all the colours run
over me now, over and over and over -  it’s magic....

i feel magic in the air...

Many thanks to Gina for accompanying me on this piano piece .With her great talent on what she adds to this piece with brilliance and smoothness.

Transform....  Gina Wood with Unguided Express

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk

Et voici une nouvelle collaboration avec ma très chère Damga:

https://soundcloud.com/user-695098998-934873219

------------------------------------------------------------

Que les chiens me pardonnent ;
Mais, toi, le spéciste qui se la donne,
Toi, dépourvu d'empathie et pourri de pouvoir,
Veux-tu être mon chien ce soir ?

Ainsi tu seras un bon garçon,
En prière devant mon giron,
Léchant à terre, mon élixir doré,
Suppliant pour être attaché.

Alors j'enfoncerai ce saint axe
Et à chacun de tes cris, viendra une taxe.
Gicleur en geyser de joie,
Sera effacée, toute trace de toi.

Que les chiens me pardonnent,
Mais toi, je te traiterai sans borne
Tel que les humains l'affectionnent ,
Déshumanisée, ma petite salope à pénis sera bonne.

Que les chiens me pardonnent

Veux-Tu être Mon Chien Ce Soir ?  Damga & Wivresse
