We Are not Alone

Just as the world is holding their collective breath in anticipation for NASA’s scheduled press conference regarding their Astrobiology related findings that are said to have a severe impact on the search for evidence of Extraterrestrial life, I found the chance to upload one of my old tracks. In fact it’s the first tune I’ve ever made for an ASD demo in 2002, after which I officially joined ASD. The demo in question is called Edge of Forever . The tune has several snippets from the movie Contact with Jodie Foster which is among my most favorite movies of all time and it’s my little tribute to the movie and Carl Sagan.

Yes people… We are not alone!

This downtempo – triphoppy tune was made in a hurry for a little game by ASD based on the Rupture rendering engine called Seconds to Nothing . Wouldn’t call this a masterpiece by no means, but there’s something about it that makes me wanna listen to it on repeat. Incidentally, it was made to seamlessly loop as it was meant to be a game soundtrack. Enjoy.

The Wind Under My Wings

This one begun as a generic dance project, which shifted into trance, then into vocal trance and finally ended up being something between oldschool 90′s and Eurodance. Nevertheless, much thanks to Valerie Blonde for singing this in such a short notice.

aMUSiC ft Valerie Blonde - The Wind Under My Wings

This was made for the same titled demo by ASD.
Lyrics:

I feel,
a minute of confusion
I fear,
the venom of seclusion in my mind

I seal,
a fate no less than perfect
I steal,
the life that someone left in my back yard

Hear the call
Break the wall
Run for it or take the fall

Standing tall
Make the call
Not afraid to lose it all

Always slow
Taste the flow
Never been before so low

But here I lay
Roles I play
Much to everyone’s dismay

No more rings
Binding strings
I want the wind under my wings

Do it like Leviathan

My close bud Leviahtan -who I write music with- has been practicing lately…

Let’s kick some butt mate.. =)

Sonya

For the past 3 or 4 years I’ve been dreaming of her, but so far I didn’t have the gut to go and make her mine. But now finally, I stepped up… and she’s mine!

I’m talking of course about Sonya, my new Kawai ES6 Digital piano.

Sonya

I got a call today from the retailer informing me that she was finally here, but that unfortunately they couldn’t ship her to my place before Monday. That was of course unacceptable since I ordered her before Christmas, so I went myself to the retailer’s in the centre and brought her home myself, half in the trunk of my car and half in the back seat. She’s big, and heavy! So I took her in. Time to put the project in motion.

She is big.. and heavy!

She stands tall and proud.

Much taller than my 25 year old Ensoniq SQ1+

Time to open the box. Sonya is well protected in there.

Releasing her from her chastity

Taking her out of the box, reveals that she comes with accessories

All the accessories laid out. I can imagine what's in each box, but I'm really curious about the big brown one.

The little white box revealed the 15v power supply unit.

The little brown box revealed her shoe! The Sustain Pedal. Awesome!

She speaks five languages. English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. I will teach her Greek!

The Mysterious Big Brown Box. I wonder what's in there...

But of course! It's the lectern! I totally forgot about that. Not that I'll be needing it a lot.

Let's set up the stand where she'll stand (pun intended)

That would be a good height if I wanted to play standing. I'd like to sit please, so I lowered the stand.

Sonya has a high profile, and I need to lower the stand even more. I put it in the lowest setting.

Taken off her wrappings and placed gently on the stand.

Hey Cinderella, let's try this shoe... Whadya know!! It fits!!

Plugged it in the Damper Pedal hole. There are also audio outputs, an audio input, traditional midi, USB midi and a switch to turn off the speakers.

Pushing in the food n' juice tube into place. Aint's she got a lovely toosh?

Only the best uninterruptibly supplied food for my baby!

There she is ready to come to life

Of course, let's not forget the lectern for her first time. She needs to wear all her accessories.

ENVY: Sits in the back and is about to cry. Poor Ensoniq...

She's alive.. ALIVE! I touched her and she moaned mmmmmmmmm.

And so it was about time… to spend some time… after time… together. My partner in musical crime Leviathan told me I should be very careful about taking her virginity. I had to select the proper tune. I thought of various songs and tracks, but I decided that her first time should be on a Chopin Valse.

Music on the Moon

Back in 2007 we composed this little baby with my good friend Amigo to enter Breakpoint’s streaming music competition. Unfortunately we got disqualified in the preselection stage =( Nevertheless, it’s a cool track, so here you go =)
