And then we get renaissance on your brain!

When you say the word aloud, the image you get is probably paintings by those grand old men, many of which depict people who pose with a face we nowdays see in passport pictures.

Also Italy. High arts, low democracy, the quality of wine somewhere in between.

But what about the common people? You know, Bruno the Butcher & Letizia the Laundress? How they were doing? Poverty more than Pavane, I’m sure of that.

How about our song here, is it more the court etiquette or bloody peasant stuff? I’d say, it’s in the middle. Sort of “wearing stockings & going to the pig house to check if the ol’ Buttercream’s wig is free of louse”.

So, MISS PICARDYS JUMP AND RIBBON. The title is a reference of John Dowland’s way of giving weird titles of his tunes.

And hey, it’s recorders all right. A little break from stringed instruments.

GET BACK IN THERE.

Get Back, Got To Get Yo Into My Life, I’ll Get You, When I Get Home

Back in the U.S.S.R., Can You Take Me Back?, I’ll Be Back

A Day In The Life, Baby’s In Black, Devil In Her Heart, I’m In Love, In My Life, In Spite Of All The Danger, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road

Here There and Everywhere, I Saw Her Standing There, There’s A Place

All roads lead to Rome.

Hey, you know that circus song? The one that you and everyone associates with circus. Yeah, that’s the one!

You know what’s the songs title, you made it and when?

Neither did I. It’s called “Entrance of the Gladiators” by Czech composer Julius Fučík, the birth year being 1897. You’re welcome.

(Ok, I’ve fabricated this kind if information in the past, for humouristic purposes. However, this time the facts are real)

((The second song at least I associate with circus is of course “Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite!” by the Beatles))

I thought the world could use some more circuscian & carnivalian music. So, CIRCUS IS HERE AND CARNIVAL TOO.

No ambiguity there. Also no orchestra, just some tasty reed organ stuff!

Well, there hasn’t been a whole lotta rockin’ going on in this summer.

Engage Canadian accent: “Sorry”.

Todays tune features a highly effected track I made earlier. “Dab Conglomeration” can be found in ambience category. And then there’s drums & bass riffin’ away. Combining these two elements really was the original idea. I ended up adding some guitar for the sake of storytelling: One thing slowly morphing into something a bit different.

Achievement unlocked: Avant-garde Doom!

WHAT IS THIS THAT STANDS BEFORE ME is not only todays tune, but also one of the most famous opening lines in rock!

That ain’t no BS!

How do you understand the term “synthesizer music”? What does it mean? What does it sound like? Is it pop with a beat? Are the synths everywhere or just in the background? Do the sounds stab you in the ear, or are they just chilling there, rhythmically or not?

Is your synth sound representative Moog, Oberheim, Roland, Arturia or the one in your phone?

To me, ALTA represents synth music to the core, in a soundtrack sort of way. Not much beat – well, maybe a little garbage can banging. My synth ambassador would be Mr. DX7.

Hmm, I’ve noticed that I tend to use a kind of “annoying sounding” synth sounds quite a bit. You know, like the one in the lead there. Good annoyment. And oh hey, there’s some counterpoint there.

What’s counterpoint?

… no. Not gonna explain. Just ask neighbour or a friendly-looking stranger at the bus stop.

Umm, in my notes regarding this tune, it says: “Höppö höp höp”. The extremely loose translation would be: “Silly sil sil”.

(6oo6le translate suggested “whoop whoop whoop” some some reason!)

I think what I meant by those words was that while YES IT THENCE is certainly jazzy, it’s also pretty silly (=höppö). Not high art here, just some fun.

Fun! Cake! Party hats! Woo hoo!

“Tangerines in a bowl of glass…”

That was a line from a song I made – but never completed or recorded – some years ago. It was meant to be acoustic guitar-strumming kinda folk-pop-piece, with vocals and all. But like I said, I was not meant to be, because I decided so.

So, Tangerine here is the remnants of that song… That sounded awful… Umm, let me rephrase:

So, TANGERINE here is a recontextualized version of that song.

Well whadda we got here, a regular Longfellow with posh words & fancy talks?

Precisely.

Stuff I Never Remember:

– Who shot J.R.
– Buy chili powder & flip flops
– Wer macht die bür?
– Thoroughly clean the bathroom
– Not wear a jacket when taking out the trash, because it’s summer & hot
– What’s the name of the country, right next to the other country which name I also can’t remember
– Free Tibet
– Go Out Jogging

The rest I remember perfectly. Also, BELLS OF SUMMER. Ding-dong.

So, when I was listening this one right after getting it out of oven… I started hearing this… well, thing, that was not meant to be there… a single note repeating right on par with a drum thingy… it was sort of like a ONE HOT NOTE.

Although accidental, I liked it, so I kept it!

The bummer here is that I don’t hear the dang note anymore. I suppose, immediately after the note became deliberate, it also stopped standing out of the crowd.

Well, that’s cool.
