Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 07/2020 and 03/2021, with the following older exceptions:
. . - Home Sweet Somewhere "Mirie it is"(#12): 4 years,
. . - Ghajaria sounds "Do you love me?"(#15): 4 years,
. . - 2oreilles (Pierre Labbé)(#6): 2 years,
. . - Mount Echo "Silence"(#9): 12 - 23 months,
. . - Boskko "Volcanize"(#16): 12 - 23 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist

Do you love me?

The earliest surviving secular song in the English language, from the 13th century. We learned this song from our friend Meri-Sofia Lakopoulos.

Lyrics:

Mirie it is while sumer y-last 
With fugheles son 
Oc nu neheth windes blast 
And weder strong. 
Ei, ei! What this nicht is long 
And ich with wel michel wrong 
Soregh and murne and fast. 

Mirie - merry 
y-last - lasts 
fugheles - birds 
son - sound, song 
Oc - but 
nu - now 
neheth - neareth, draws closer 
weder strong - fierce weather 
What... long - Oh but how long 
ich - I 
wel michel - "well mickle," very much 
Soregh - sorrow, grieve 
murne - mourn

Mirie it is

We are Time

A couple of years ago I dedicated this song to Sandra. After listening she said: "Mmm, yes, nice, but I prefer another piece, that one that you let me listen a few months ago".
Damn sincerity! :)))

Lately i decided to record it again with a different arrangement, this is the new one.
But this time I'm not sure i'll let her listen again :)))

Here you can find the other previous version, the "rejected" one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhvv6Rw2zWo

The other piece, her favorite, was this:  https://soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/la-danza-della-lontananza

Sandra

Atmospheric jazz noir track with a mellow acoustic guitars and a droning trombone melody. Spacious and surreal brass section and dreamy, ethereal and mysterious Cyberswing.

不穏な展覧会 Disturbing exhibition

Music produced by @petemogambo
Lyrics and vocals by @cievilmomo

People walking all around me.
I am staring at the ceiling.
Nobody, no body could have this feeling. 

Outside.
I dance.
Out of the body.
 
Outside.
I dance.
Don’t need somebody.

People walking all around me.
I am staring at the floor.
Nobody, no body can reach the door.

You smoke and I surrender.
You go outside.
I dance and I pretend,
we are kissing outside. 
  
Outside.
I dance.
Out of the body.

Outside.
I dance. 
Don’t need somebody.

Outside

The Hell

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  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.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

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. =(

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.
