Amazing track! It's so heartfelt, I can hear it in your vocals

Detta är kanske den mest subtilt sorgsna breakuplåten jag hört. Är den ens sorgsen? Är den ens en breakuplåt? Jättefin hursomhelst <3

The Tycoon

The title refers to crisis situations, for example in Kosovo during the years of 1998-1999. The first introductory measures express the threat of war in that region. The music is inspired by the shocking warfootage from newsbroadcasts on television and in daily newspapers. You can imagine yourself experiencing the warfare in your own country, the terror and being forced to escape. In the background underlies also folk-musical structures i.e african clave-rhythms (4:3 polyrhythm) as a connection with the crisis in the Kongo-Kinshasa region in which went on at the same time as in Kosovo.
This work was composed to the annual project called "The Composers of Tomorrow 2000"between the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra and the Academy of Music in Malmö. It was judged as "best orchestral work" by the musicians of the orchestra and was performed later on the Young Soloists Concert in the Concert Hall in Helsingborg.
Other important performances could be mentioned like the Young Nordic Music Festival (UNM) in Reykjavik, Iceland and Stockholm New Music 2003.
The Threat of War has been nominated by the Swedish Music Publishers Association (SMFF) Award in the category "The most significant contemporary music work of the year" in 2005.

I set out to write a short composition in every mode of every key signature - resulting in 84 short compositions in total. I'm sharing an "abridged" version by uploading exactly half of these compositions (the better half). This is part of that series. Hope you enjoy!

En tonsatt historia, om fyraåriga Majvis som upprepade gånger rymmer och bryter sig in på sin bästis dagis för att vara med och leka. Och körs ut igen. Om saknad, envishet, hopp och käftsmällar.

En Fyraåring Bryter Sig In På Sin Bästis Dagis

Another question mark, another sketchy, spontaneously written and recorded song, on doubting, sarcasm, impudence and commitment issues... It’s midnight and my voice is a little strained, since I’m in the process of processing doubts concerning whether my friend’s enthusiasm is sincere or not, and whether it’s worth the fuss to commit to devotions, emotions and what not. It’s easy and pleasant to care infinitely much for a few seconds and then forget all about it. So, could it be that commitment and care is a zero-sum-game? Written and performed by me.

Recorded in Chisinau, August 2019.

Lyrics:

I think I have to share another question mark with you 

Apprehending your enthusiasm
A mere phantasm 
Since I’m sensing your indifference
Exacted by my reverence

Perhaps I should start an iconoclasm
This neoplasm 
Has grown malignant and intense 
My exaltation makes me tense 

So I tried committing to my own devotions 
They ended up turning into distortions
How could the yearning for my dreams depose me further from my mind 
and leave me rattling in my disbeliefs
 
I tried committing to my own emotions
They ended up turning into extortions
How could the yearning for my soul 
Depose me further from my mind 
And leave me shackled to my disbeliefs 
Still feel I have to share another question mark with you 

Each regret will hit me like a spasm
I need sarcasm 
Or else the pain turns into evidence
A telling kind of impudence 

Apprehending your enthusiasm
A mere phantasm 
Since I’m sensing your indifference
Enacted by my reverence 

So I tried committing to my own devotions 
They ended up turning into extortions
How could the yearning for my dreams depose me further from my mind
And leave me rattling in my disbeliefs

I tried to follow through to my own devotions
They ended up turning into distortions
How could the yearning for my dreams leave my desires way behind
And leave me shackled to my disbeliefs 

I give up
I have zero expectations
Still I go on
And I run in joy

I let go
I don’t crave any answers
Still I feel joy 
Every time I ask

So I tried committing to my own devotions 
They ended up turning into distortions
I started tweaking my desires to spur me faster to my goals 
And render fantasies offering relief 

I tried committing to my own emotions
They ended up turning into extortions
How could the yearning of my dreams depose me further from my mind
And leave me shackled to my disbeliefs

Still I need to share another question mark with you 

Perhaps I should start an iconoclasm
This neoplasm
Has grown malignant and intense 
My exaltation makes me tense 

You see each single message that I send 
Feels like the end 
Still I do cherish to my temptation 
To propel my inspiration

So I tried committing to my own devotions
They ended up turning into distortions
How could the yearning for my dreams leave my desires way behind
And leave me rattling in my disbeliefs 

I tried committing to my own emotions
They ended up turning into extortions
How could the yearning for my dreams depose me further from my mind
And leave me shackled to my disbeliefs
