Fair use. Song originally written by David Sylvian for the album "Manafon", released on Samadhi Sound / Universal UMC, 2009. Totally recomposed by Alex FX, 2023. Featuring Cabrita on saxophones.
Very fascinating version of the song. Unfortunately recent reality taught us again that there will not only be random acts of somewhat „senseless“ violence that will deeply interfere with our lives…
I am amazed how you have brought new life to these Sylvia’s composition. You have a great ear for telling a story through sound. I look forward to hearing more of your work.
Manfon was a challenging album for me. Lyrically and melodically adventurous but so raw and almost painful to listen to. This recomposing is a beautiful addition. Hopefully you will do more. 🤟
Thank you so much for your words, Peter! Yes, I've already done 4 versions/recompositions (you can find the other 3 on this channel). I'll be trying my best to do all of the "Manafon" album.
EXCEPTIONAL MASTERY OF THE ORIGINAL BY A MASTER OF HIS ART..... BRAVO....BRAVO.....BRAVO.... I HAVE NO DOUBT DAVID SYLVIAN HAS A WARMTH IN HIS HEART WITH YOUR TREATMENT OF HIS CREATION. ALEX.....YOU ARE ALSO A MASTER OF YOUR CREATIONS. AND I STILL LOOK IN EAGERNESS AND ANTICIPATION OF A FULL REIMAGINING OF THE MANAFON WORKS BY THE FLAWLESS MASTER OF ALL HE RADIATES.... DAVID SYLVIAN. AND PLEASE DO THIS SOON....... WE REALLY NEED MORE OF THIS IN THE SHARED WORLD WE LIVE IN. 🕊✨️🙌💙🙏💚🙏💙🙏🙌✨️🐝🦋
tell me one thing... probably... most probably you have done an extraordinary work, with wonderful music and my favorite artist.. I cannot stop to listen it, BRAVO!
@@alexfxpt yes.. manafon and small metal.. wow! it has been a surpise today discovery this art and composal.. continue on this way alex! all the best!
Obrigado, Marco. Sabes o quão importante e pessoal é todo o trabalho que estou a fazer sobre estes temas do Sylvian (e este é já o 4°!). Já escutaste os outros? Um deles foi gravado no concerto onde vocês estiveram.
Thanks so much, Simon. Not yet. I’m (slowly) recomposing the whole Manafon album. There are 3 more here on RU-vid. I’ll see what I do when the whole project finishes. Of course I’d love to have Sylvian’s approval, but I’m not doing this for the money, despite the mammoth amount of work of composing, arranging and performing on each recomposed piece. This isn’t a “remix” like some people seem to think. 🙏🏻
@@alexfxpt I can tell you've put a lot of work into these reworkings.They're quite beautiful. I've subscribed to your channel and will eagerly look forward to each new one as you post them. Thanks
David in certi dischi si era concentrato troppo sulla sua voce, lasciando alla musica un minimalismo che non mi piaceva più di tanto (nonostante avessi amato le sue passate produzioni, comprese quelle con Holger Kzukay). L'aggiunta della tua musica, secondo me, completa e perfeziona il lavoro di David.
Forgive me for still not replying. I hope you understand the fact I do not know your language. Also, the usual auto-translation wasn’t available. Nevertheless, thanks for your input and I hope you enjoyed it.
