that's what i improvise when i wake up at 5:00 in the morning/night.

noxpox - Solar Lack

What if the stars
And cars
The oceans and hills
The moon
And houses
Were all just 
beautiful dust
What if all these things 
Had just
Grown too huge for us
Now impositions
Making all the rules
Where once it was said
By you 
By me 
By us
What if the stars and cars
The oceans and hills
The moon and houses
were all just 
Beautiful dust
I love to gaze up high
I love to drive real fast
I love to dive deep in 
And climb up hillsides
I need shelter from storms
And from the night
And i love to watch the moon
Mocking in her flights
What if all these things 
Were only beautiful dust.

Wine is TRUTH

after 3 AM I hear your voice
tortured as I remember 
recognize your pain
glowing flames of fiery ember
haunting memory of wanting
you despite the cost
tip the golden chalice
till all inhibitions lost
leave nothing but skin
over your bones while
whispering in softest
under tone

always loved you baby
I hang on every word
 amplified and allowed
every distant darkened cloud
in your mind of paranoia
blue and defined
See myself inside 
your harsh lines
if I hadn't fucked it up
could I have made you mine
if I hadn't fucked it up
could I have made you 
mine

doesn't seem like I can
hold a man
set myself up to be damned
by those who should
cherish me the most
yet treat me like I'm toast
attract me just to boast
they took me down
and watched me fall into
a wretched fog of wasted time
scold myself for acting in a haste
when the truth is
I was just afraid
 you'd take me out as well
you'd take me down, as well

couldn't get the words out
couldn't bare to trust
anyone new again...
yet here I  am weeks
 on down the line
syncing with your mind
like you'd give me time 
of day if I reached 
out to you again

yes, you....yes you....


Wine Is TRUTH

Polar synchronization

world without light

Verses 1
In a world without light
Everything is desolate and empty
A world without light
I'll never see your eyes again
In a world without light
I don't see the sun anymore
In a world without light, I miss you so much

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

Verses 2
In a world without light, cruelty and suffering reign
I try to escape from her but I never get far
In a world without light, breathing is so difficult
In this world without light your eyes will never open again

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

bridge
Scream into the night but the echo fades away unheard
Pain tears my heart out but you don't hear me anymore

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

Outro
In a world without light no bird flies
This world without light
is a world without you
For me
For me

Welt Ohne Licht

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and also to a small LIST of MY MODEST OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
Veikko
