songwriting
Gods of the Dust is my second song. It was written for the Singeo Song Writing Challenge. This time, we had to write a song in a style we had never worked in before. I chose a reggae style because I find its rhythm fascinating — especially the emphasis on the second half of the beat. It’s about a locust, the last god of the swarm, grounded but still soaring in memory. I’ve written the music and the lyrics, and also performed the song. Hans did the production and the video.

Taken by the North is a song that I have written and performed for the Singeo songwriting challenge april 2025. The inspiration of this song is Poppa, the Viking queen.
I have written my second piece Poppa’s wedding as an exercise for the Method Level 9 on pianote.com (songwriting). Had to work with verses and chorus, also 7ths. My inspiration was the wedding of Poppa, the wife of Viking King Rolo (who seemed to be one of my ancestors 🙄). It is in minor, because it’s not a happy event. Poppa was abducted by the Viking king, and her father was killed in the process.
