New Song
Around the World
My song "Around the World" was featured this week in BBC legend Tom Ronbinson's Fresh On The Net Listening Post. Among the hundreds of submissions, my track was one of the top recommendations.
I was especially pleased by curator Tony Hardy's comment:
"A fun upbeat track that really captures the excitement of travelling with friends. The lyrics paint a picture of quick trips to places like London and Paris, with a playful “Zack, bum, bonjour!” catchphrase that gives it personality, lively party vibes and celebratory feel. Great vocals and delivery. It’s a light-hearted song about escaping routine and enjoying the moment"
It was also listened by BBC Introducing on 1Xtra with Theo Johnson.
New Album: Duels
My second album, Duels, is about telling a historical story. Except for the first song.
Song 1. Rien ne vas pus:
This song is about the poker game between James Bond and Le Chiffre at the Casino Royale. I tried to musically recreate the cool duel.
Song 2: The Thrilla
For me, the best boxing match of all time is between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. Intense and aggressive.
Song 3: The Loneliness of the Ice
Scott's expedition to the South Pole is the subject of this song. The drama of his failure is the content of this song.
Song 4: A Dangerous Love
This isn't a duel. This is about a love that isn't rational, but that's what love is. Emotional and not always rational.
Song 5: We salute you
The duels in the Colosseum in Rome are the subject of this song. The song is aggressive and more metal-influenced. It's meant to describe the intensity of these duels.
Song 6: The public enemy
This is about John Dillinger. The duel between the outlaw and the federal authorities.
Song 7: The fastest man
This is the song about the fastest man. He set records that will likely remain unbroken for a very long time. I tried to capture the dynamics of the sport in the song.
NEW Song
Lost in Time (Blade Runner homage)
My song "Lost in Time" was inspired by the film Blade Runner. I've seen it probably more than 50 times. I can't think of a film that has fascinated me for so long. Since I saw the film in 1984, it's been a while.
Making a song about the film somehow didn't seem right. I have the soundtrack in my record collection. I've finally made my musical homage.
I'm fascinated by the film's tranquility and hypnotic atmosphere. I tried to express this in the song.
Secrets
I'm very interested in true spy stories. That was the motivation for my first album,
Song 1: Part I: Spy of Love
This is a the story about the "spy of love", who spies on her husband. Inspired by Mata Hari.
Song 2: Part II: Criminal Tango
The spy's husband suspects that a traitor is nearby. He senses it, but he doesn't know who he is.
Song 3: Part III: Bridges of Spies
The spy is exposed and is deported to the Bridge of Spies as part of an agent swap.
Song 4: Assassin
This song is about an assassination attempt in the dark of night. The victim is shot by the woman he loves.
Song 5: The Master of the Game
Inspired by the villain Dr No from the first James Bond films. The puppet master who controls everything and pulls the strings.
Song 6: My Race
Everyone must answer for their actions. In the end, they stand in court and are held accountable.
Song 7: My One
A love that is unrequited. Inspired by the film "The Eye" the lover travels after her beloved. Without revealing his identity.
