This is of a
UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTIFUL LEVEL.

Thank you so much for your support. 🙏🏻
If all of this could be condensed into an album / CD it would sell plenty - pure joy x
I can’t do that, as it would involve copyright infringement. Only if Sylvian himself allows it (which I hardly doubt)
@@alexfxpt we could make a petition... 😅
Materia dei sogni

So you composed the music behind his lyrics here? Man, knocked it out of the park. Have to say I much prefer this to the original.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻

Next brilliant song in this unblieveable cooperation between two great artists...
Many thanks for your kind words. I wish it was a collaboration/cooperation. I would be sufficiently happy if I was given the thumbs up from the man himself.
It’s a (very!) hard and meticulous work to re-compose the original material into a new song, and still I do it happily.
Really excellent work. I’m interested in your process. Are you using AI to extract the vocals from the original?
Thank you for your words. Re process: I don’t trust in AI to fully accomplish that sort of task, because it simply processes without understanding - pure mathematics - so I do it via frequency separation - a lot harder but much more rewarding in terms of the final product. There’s also the fact that the original material consists of voice and assorted noises and some occasional (tonal) instruments. I divide the original song in verses and place them alongside my music, first to work the voice timings/metrics of it and only after I go to work on the parts that need more absence of the original recorded noises. There are times I use the original noises on the recomposed versions.
It’s hard work, trust me, but I do it gladly.
Please. Keep doing this. Alex.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I surely will. Each on their due time
Im having a wonderful trip today...
Thanks so much :)
I now know why David Sylvian retired from music. He obviously heard your versions.
Don’t say that :)
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Love. What do you mean by recomposed?
@@ZJProz well, since I wrote this new arrangement after the original composition (even when the original is an open structure experimental piece), we can consider it as a recomposing procedure, since I had to figure out the basic notes consonant with David vocal takes and build around it. I don’t take the easy road of dropping a vocal part over an instrumental track and call it a remix or whatever. I work really hard on each of the (4 until now) recompositions I did for him. I don’t get any profit from this. I do it out of much love and respect for his work and as a humble homage to him in life.

Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Can you not rework David’s compositions they are fine as they are. Do you actually have permission to do so and are you paying him royalties.
@@garethde-witt6433 Dear Gareth, thanks for your message. In terms of copyright, the music is mine and I’m not charging or receiving any penny from it, as I’m not selling nor profiting from it. All credits are presented as being originally from David and Universal Music. I know my rights just as well as the artist’s. Just as much as you are entitled not to appreciate them. You just don’t have the right to tell me to do otherwise. You have the simple option of not listening and not liking it and I’ll be fine with that.
Kind regards.
Alex
@@garethde-witt6433 more so, the fact that Universal allows the reworks to be online (yes, they know about it) proves that for each view they (and David) get their share.
