Verse 1 If you see through the veil of your own eye lids While the walls dissolve in colors and geometric forms Bridge There they are, greeting you Going around, mocking you Dancers of the other side They’ve been waiting all eternity To show you unreality Chorus Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ahhhhh Verse 2 Is this a joke or have I died? I am not a body nor a mind. Bridge 2 I naively expected god Not a circus in heaven Dancers of the other side They’ve been waiting all eternity To show you unreality Chorus Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ahhhhh Instrumental Solo Stick Solo guitar Chorus Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ahhhhh

Always Alone - Lyrics V1 Millions of faces through the window, go and come again Sometimes I want to step down, but this train doesn’t wait. Bridge Always going, never stopping, on this restless rails A breath of friendship, a zip of love, to warm the cold nights Chorus With smiles or frowns, no matter who’s around. In the end, I’m always alone V2 Engines of pain and superstition Die and grow again Sometimes I want to break out Though the machine doesn’t care Bridge 2 Always going, never stopping, on this ruthless chains A breath of friendship, a zip of love, to warm the cold nights Chorus With smiles or frowns, no matter who’s around. In the end, I’m always alone

about

Dasein is my 4th release with the Rafart project.

This album is a mix of electronic music and prog-rock, a style I refer to as Electronic Prog-Rock. It combines the Chapman Stick in a band format with electronic production techniques.

Dasein refers to Heidegger's concept of human beings as agents of care that are capable of constructing their authenticity. This album is an expression of my ongoing process of musical authenticity. It's the first one where I do songs, and not only instrumentals, a so far missing part of my musical work.

Rafart is my Electronic Prog-Rock solo project, where I combine Prog-Rock and EDM sounds to create a unique musical style. In this project, the Chapman Stick, my voice, and different gadgets are my tools of expression. It has taken different formats such as trio, duo, and solo performance, and it incorporates different session musicians that always bring unique sounds and styles. ... more
