As you all know, my roots (as a listener and practitioner) are in classical music.
In this cute punk rock track we played at our 21.03 gig at Lepakkomies, Helsinki, I pay homage to the immortal Edvard Grieg during the intro (this is featured in the EP recording as well): In The Hall of the Mountain King! Wearing the Ghost mask too 🙂
My new song “You” is a poignant and intense reflection on the role of Ambition in human actions and history. Inspired by #Stendhal and #Dostoevsky. Hailing from my Odalisque years, the song was unreleased, so I did a robust rework.
This one is now distributed and you can find it on Spotify etc.
Here is the Soundcloud link, go and check it!

My new track “You (The Red of Ambition)” has been positively reviewed by Metal Junkbox! Obrigado!

I’m so glad! My dark ambient soundtrack “Room 251”, which is inspired by the movie The Shining (1980) and is dedicated to my friend Fabrizio Borgio, was shared by Otium Musicum Records in their playlist “Lovecraftian Atmos”: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0cqGsFxFxtnzEYZ98x275q

A horror story of might, God and grandeur. Whispered in the darkness.
My homage to the visionary poet William Blake (1757-1827).
