The man on the second scene

The making...

The short lyrics refer to the difficulty that, in life, we encounter in trying to truly be ourselves. Difficulty that sometimes leads us to a change of perspectives, to the beginning of a new life. Musically, the content of a single musical objects is developed (m036, written in January 2005). Here the focus is on the dynamic placement of sounds in the space, it is in fact a song that should be listened to in the Dolby Atmos native mix. The sung verse is replaced by a short but detailed interlude, written in October 2024 during the production phase, which interacts with analogue synth leaks expressed in odd tempos, a clear reference to 'basic' progressive rock. The finale proposes the original harmonic progression but varies the rhythmic scansion, which becomes an odd one (7/8 + 9/8). The melody is constructed on a Phrygian mode sequence, which accentuates its 'dark' tone. Also in this piece, Strat's final crossed solos have an extra ‘acid’ and psychedelic sound

Original lyrics (in English)

Listen man, what do you want to be?

Are you catching every shadow on an empty screen?

 

Spend your time listening to the sea

As you want to be
