Description: I am separated from music. When I start composing, I think about the development and layering of tones that will resonate with people. However, when I finish, the music becomes unrelated to my will. "The joy of composing lies in the betrayal of the unconscious."

This is just brilliant! Absolutely love it!

Is that a trumpet?  Sounds sweet mixed with that bass!

🔥🔥I know others mentioned this but the contrast for the trumpet and menacing bass is fantastic.

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.

Lyrics:-
Time flies when you're having fun
They say
If fun was what I was having
Ok
I've been trying to get out a message
You'd say
I don't know if it's touched one soul
To date

If i could make a wish
To wash it all away
I have tried
After all the pain
The least that i can say
I have tried

These walls they are closing in
Aha
I've grown tired, close to giving in
Almost
Just one , if i could touch one soul
Just one
That would be a winning streek I'd own
A goal

Did you hear what I wanted to say
Did you hear what I wanted to tell ya 

If i could make a wish
To wash it all away
I have tried
After all the pain
The least that i can say
I have tried

The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.
