Things you could do "Things you could do" was the result of a conversation after a gig with a young person facing life. It is also a theme I have explored a few times in my life, of not being defined by your traumas but rather discover your true essence. It was driven by the first two chords (thanks Safa), and the lyrical idea which I developed over
Telescope - Lyrics We're trapped by time Even if time cannot explain infinity We've lost our mind In this confusing one act play, That seems to play the jokes on me Looking through the Telescope I see a younger me I see an older you Looking through the Telescope Get a glimpse of what could be If we could twist reality, Reality The Ghosts in my bed Disregarding all the laws of sanity
Lyrics My Advice Cover your eyes Somethings you shouldn’t see When the ugliness of people breaks out and they become really mean Your childlike innocence shouldn’t be the suffering victim, But it will Cover your ears Somethings you shouldn’t hear When the adult start screaming and the music is streaming like beer The noise is overwhelming you shouldn’t be listening, But you will Cover your lips, Things better left unsaid When your mouth
#KIPITREAL - "Jokes" I am developing a love for playing to ghosts. They are respectful of the magic you create when you play music. Unlike most audiences you find these days... Step in front of a crowd and uncover your soul, your darkest fears, some intellectual social commentary and most people will be scrolling on their Instagram or talking at the top of their voices about something obviously very meaningful like,
#KIPITREAL - Peace of Mind The song "Peace of Mind" was written a long time ago whilst I was living in Italy. (last Century) It seemed fitting that this year whilst spending some time in the quiet hills of Abruzzo in the Agriturismo Campoletizia, I should record this song with the recent land art exhibition. Campoletizia is one of those last bastions that stand for simple life filled with Nature, Music, Art, Time
Song: "Expectations" Expectations was born out of a conversation. It's not the first time a song comes from a conversation. "Reincarnate" from the Album "Moments in time" was also born out of a conversation. The music Before I dive into the concept of "Expectations", let's talk about the musical creation. Sadly I played everything. I say sadly because I always think there are
"Mother" in #Kipitreal with Anne A few months ago I tested out a little production called "Ghost Stories" which will develop at some stage into a full production. At a particular concert in Bathurst, I finally convinced my friend Anne to come and play her accordion on stage. We managed to create a special atmosphere doing our own interpretation of the Pink Floyd Classic: "Mother" In the last few years I
Stronger Soul "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" used to say the Marqui de Sade... Ok I made that up, I'm not sure he ever said that. But hardship is not something you normally choose. "Stronger Soul" is about picking up the pieces and seeing the rainbow after the rain, or not... I wasn't sure this should be released. Musically I feel it's maybe not where it could be. But it exists.

ESCAPE ESCAPE was the name of a model of Kite I used to ride. It was a great kite back then, I even wrote a little jingle for the Video I made for the release of the kite but it wasn't picked up by the company I was working with at the time. In retrospect it was probably a pretty crap Video... Fast forward more than a decade, and I created a moody
