Emily in Cordoba - Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

Emily’s exciting career at « Candeur Advertising » brought her in Cordoba. As usual she takes selfies everywhere anytime all over the place. After the visit of Córdoba’s Mosque-Cathedral she looked at the selfies she’s been taken and found that one of the selfie she probably mistakenly took had the face of  her brother but made of wood. The choir stalls where his face was pictured is located across from the altar, which was crafted during the 18th century and were executed by Pedro Duque Cornejo. Could it be that Emily's ancestors were Spanish?

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.”

Music: Syrel 
Photography: Syrel, Córdoba Mosque-Cathedral, 2024

Musical notes: I am not sure if the inspiration comes from the great Al di Meola or Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66. Nevertheless, enjoy the short ride.

Emily in Cordoba

Last spring, I had a jazzy musical interaction with songbirds to produce Magnolia. This spring, I explore the genre of jazz once again but this time with a mockingbird.

A few weeks ago, I recorded a mockingbird singing a jazzy serenade a cappella from his perch on my neighbor's chimney. And oh my! The bird sang like he was the hot new kid on the block, and the whole neighborhood had to listen!

The Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) can sing up to 200 different songs, some of which are original and others mimic the sounds of other birds and creatures, including insects and machines. 

I added electro — keyboard, piano, bass, and electronic drum kits — to the mockingbird audio recording using my MIDI and DAW, and I hope you find the music as amusing and entertaining as the jazzy mockingbird’s song.

Chill jazz fusion at 85 bpm

Audio of mockingbird recorded live April 2, 2025. The LoFi audio is raw, unaltered except for cuts to delete car noise and the conversation of neighbors, so that the music wraps around the birdsong.

With props to Harper Lee’s book, To Kill A Mockingbird, whose main character Atticus Finch teaches that it’s a sin to kill mockingbirds because they harm no one with their songs — a symbolic theme of the book — it’s wrong if not evil to attack or destroy innocent people.

“Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…. they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.”

lyrics

Why can't I get this done
There's always an obstacle
I just want a break 
A break from the rat race
Walk into light

This is the new day
This is the new day
It's finally here
This is the new day
This is the new day
This is the new day
It's finally here

Yes it's over now, the race
It's over now 
The time has come to shine
And the worries are gone
And the fear has flown
I'm my own man now
Walk into the light 
Out of the darkness and pain

This is the new day
This is the new day
It's finally here
This is the new day
This is the new day
This is the new day
It's finally here

no more

the new day

RUFUS - Lately (Venturam Remix)

Eagle 252 (2025)

"Let your inner light guide the way,
Through the twists and turns of our ballet.
Like petals adrift in a world so wide,
Together we bloom, with nothing to hide."

Inner light

Love like Honey or Syrup to Maple to Mud up to your knees... vulnerable and exposed but that is exactly where love exists and if you allow - it will flourish in you.

✨️☆♡ Love Yourself before anyone else ♡☆✨️

music & dance,
for the emancipation of the human spirit

for those with religious tendencies this could be called emancipation theology, a sort of liberation theology for the mind instead of the land
...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
