about

"The Eternal Beginner" album is the original demo I have sent to ESP-Disk some years ago. After the initial and very kind response, I never heard back from that legendary label again.

The album presents my song "Gold", for which Patryk Lichota did a Pasolini-sourced video included here. "Gold" was written in 2005, and first recorded in 2014 for a compilation called "Hippie Sands and Roses", which is no longer available. This is the original version of "Gold", from that compilation.

"Time Machine" is an acoustic song inspired by the 60s movie H.G. Wells's The Time Machine.

"Cold Sun" is an electronic psychedelic anti-drug song.

"TV Window" is about living in Paris.

"New Jerusalem" in its full blown 11-minute "studio" version was included on my "Jam Session" album for Ramble Records. This here is the original acoustic demo.

"1985" and "1989" are sound art experiments, which some friends of mine likened to Public Image Limited.

"I Am Nirvana" is a Pink Floyd-inspired song about finding peace.

"Down You Go..." is a tune dedicated to my model friend, Izabella, with whom I spent some great times in London.

Finally, "Patricia", is my most well-known song, which here appears in a raw home recording, that is basically a quality update on the original 2009 ballad version of the number.
