Panayiota
Doxter S continues to develop original music in the style of electronic/house/dance. The latest originated without an identified theme, however the occasion of Panayiota celebrating 100-years was an additional inspiration. This style of music does not lend itself very well to lyrics. In fact the only lyric is the title Panayiota.
Panayiota is on of the latest of 80 original tunes created by Doxter S at Crimson Studios. The process started with creating iKaossilator loops customized to a particular genre (R&B). Key, scale, tempo, and instrument selections were made to elicit a desired melodic balance of phrase and rhythm. The result is a catchy tune that is mixed with gradual addition of instruments.
The next layer used royalty free Apple loops matched to the key and scale. These are primarily vocal loops that contain emotion without lyrics.
The final layer is adding the phrase “Panayiota” as the singular spoken lyric, The phrase is then combined as repeats or chopped and reconstructed to match the tempo and balance of the other loops.
Panayiota by Doxter S is available on Apple Music and Spotify.
Nervous
Nervous by Doxter S is one of 73 original songs produced at Crimson Studios. This pop style song could be sung acapella, however this production includes percussion, strings, and piano. There is asymmetry between the sequential verses and there is a substantial pre chorus.

Lost but now I'm found Oh how sweet the sound
I once was lost but I turned myself around I was blind but all at once I can see
Amazing Grace you have given me a place The entire human race destiny
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found I was blind but now I see
Saved a wretch like me Blind but now I see
There is a spark that illuminates the dark It lies deep within your heart set it free
A brilliant light so magnificent and bright Like a beacon in the night all can see
Revelation Jubilation
Lost but now I'm found Oh how sweet the sound
Touched by the love of the presence from above Gentle hand that reaches in to my soul
Amazing Grace I accept your warm embrace Let my being become part of the whole
Saved a wretch like me Blind but now I see
We're not alone You can feel it in the bone Our salvation at this moment sublime
Raise you hands high praise the spirit in the sky Seek redemption from the pure and divine

Saved a wretch like me Blind but now I see

Diva
Diva by Doxter S, an upbeat Hip Hop song, is entering new music territory. Doxter S created this original Hip Hop song, inspired by Piccolo Walzer, after making the following statement to a fellow musician: “Never argue with a Soprano”.
Piccolo Valzer (little waltz) was the original title for Giacomo Puccini’s Musetta’s Waltz. More popularly known today as Quando m’en vo’ soletta, it may be the most memorable music from Pucciin’s 19th century opera La Bohème. So what is the connection with Diva by Doxter S? It turns out the word Soprano isn’t easy to use in the lyrics. So the original inspiration was transformed into “Never argue with a Diva”, and the theme from the operatic song is carried into the story line. The style transformed to Hip Hop.
Nervous is available fr streaming on Apple Music and Spotify.
Starting with a simple piano rendition of Piccolo Valzer, the piano is next backed by a synthesizer and the all male chorus sings Diva Aria Mine”. The verse, spoken by Doxter S, is backed by the Soprano voice haunting off stage:
Diva, winner of Honoragle Mention for R&B and Hip Hop in the 35th MASC awards, is one of 80 original songs available for streaming on Apple Music and Spotify.
Tragodia

This particular song has lyrics derived from the Apple Loops. The title Tragodia (literally Goat Song in Ancient Greek) comes from those lyrics. There are no attributions provided by Apple as to the vocalist, but I trust she can appreciate how this composition turned out.
So, just listen, enjoy, clap, bob your head, or dance to the wonderful, new, original Tragodia by Doxter S, also available on Apple Music and Spotify.
Bizness

Daybreak
Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.
This song started out as an instrumental Rondo of 8-bars. The complex melodies seemed to lend themselves as the basis for a holiday song.
The reference to the season being winter and the presence of music playing everywhere are subtle links to Christmas time. The lyrics “Bright music Good tidings come with the Sun rising” and “Sweet voices are singing angelic with feeling” are additional ties to the traditional holiday music. Otherwise this song is without any anchors to limit it to one genre.
Daybreak is seasonal and spiritual without tying it down too much to Christmas. Daybreak is now on Spotify and Apple Music

Lyrics
Let's make a wish and blow the flames from the birthday candles
You're a year older now but life seems too hot to handle
People look through you like you're not even there
like you are Lighter than air a wisp of smoke
You're different from the lucky ones
Just different want to hide and run
So different how could you stay in This place this life
Capture your thoughts and write them down in a private journal
No one will know until one day it's all over school where
People look through you like you're not even there
like you are Lighter than air a wisp of smoke
You're different from the lucky ones
Just different want to hide and run
So different how could you stay in This place this life
Did your father scold you Baby he made you tow the line
Did your mother hold you Baby when did she have the time
Did your teachers tell you maybe you'll do better next year
Feeling like a fool with nothing left to lose you want to disappear
You're different from the lucky ones
Just different want to hide and run
So different how could you stay in This place this life
Counting the pills you found in your mothers cabinet you
Swallow them down without a thought of the consequences
People look through you now you're not even there
now you are Lighter than air a wisp of smoke
You're different from the lucky ones
Just different want to hide and run
So different how could you stay in This place this life
Form a Line
This upbeat song has more energy and less sweetness (than my last wedding song) and will get everyone crowding the dance floor dancing vigorously singing and shouting along with the band.
I wrote a song for a wedding this year [Everywhere by Doxter S] that was light and airy and sweet. I imagined the young newlyweds dancing to it. [on another planet]. The real wedding dances were very different and everyone was crowding the dance floor. They all knew the melodies and lyrics and sang along while dancing vigorously. I was impressed that a wedding song needs to have more energy, less sweetness, a simpler melody, and lyrics everyone would sing. After finishing this song I needed a title. I remembered John Travolta as the Angel Michael (1996) saying that when he first came to earth everyone was just milling around. Michael told them to “Form a Line”.
Form a Line is one of 82 original songs available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, or Listen here:
Dorian
Dorian by Doxter S is one of 80 original songs available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music
Oscar Wilde, the nineteenth century Irish romantic poet and playwright, is probably most famous for his novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. The Faustian story line relates to a full length portrait of the eponymous Dorian who makes a wish that his portrait would age instead of himself.
Dorian by Doxter S is a fantastical interpretation in music of this Gothic theme. Dorian appears at various times and places chasing after a dream-like companion. The mood is mysterious, the music intoxicating, and at the end Dorian and the music fades away.
Lyrics
Lived so long, seen it all, Dorian, you don't age
The first time he walked into the place
Was a different man, a different face
People drifting in people drifting out then he heard the sound of a woman shout
Just exactly like in that dream he had that has set the music on fire
The next thing he knew he’s on the stage
With a different girl, a different age
Dancing to the rhythm all syncopating a pounding beat was intoxicating
He felt his heart was alive again it was burning with desire
She had fiery eyes and glowing face
They we're in a passionate embrace
He could smell the scent of her sweet perfume as they danced in circles all around the room
There was music playing inside his head and his mind was all in a daze
They were headed through an open door
Walked into a room he’d seen before
There were velvet curtains all in a line flowing burgundy like a Bordeaux wine
Then they started running with hand in hand through a never ending maze
Lived so long, seen it all, Dorian, you don't age
Hear my song, Dorian, hear the words of the Sage
Now they’re in the palace at Versailles
In a ballroom lined with mirrored tile
Marie Antoinette and The Brothers Grim as Rasputin laughed with his wicked grin
As the music waned and the pictured face Dorian is fading to grey
And he wondered if it ends this way in a
Different place on a different day there was
More to see there was more to do only time would tell change his point of view
See it's relative if you make it last Dorian was fading fast
Dorian turning grey as your mind fades away
Hear my song let it play won't be long fades away
Won't be long fades away
Better Days
There has been a lot going on in the last few years. What seems to be an upheaval in societal relations may be part of a natural evolution of human thought. Better Days by Doxter S provides a musical representation of these troubled times.
The melody is in a minor key that adds pathos to the relevant lyrics. Despite the melancholy there is also great hope. The song begins and ends with the word “Pray”. There is hope fore redemption in this prayer. There is optimism for humanity.
Lyrics
Pray, At night I pray for better days
We turned around and lost our way It's getting darker every day
The world is colder There is no room for compromise
If we could open up our eyes We'd see the sun about to rise
Through stormy weather New days are dawning
We stand together A new belonging
It won't take long To make things right for every wrong
We must remain steadfast and strong
Before a storm there is a calm
Let's come together We still have choices
If we sing proudly They'll hear or voices
So let us pray Pray for a life of better days
Days filled with love Love and respect in every way
We must stay strong And everything will be Okay
It won't be long Before we see some better days
When we were younger We were much stronger
We had no hunger Not any longer
Stand side by side Without the prejudice and pride
We need our goals to be allied Let's put our politics aside
We stand together We are united
Out human spirit Is reignited
So let us pray Pray for a life of better days
Days filled with love
Love and respect in every way
We must stay strong And everything will be Okay
It won't be long Before we see some better days
So let us pray

Butterfly
Butterfly by Doxter S started out sounding like a nursery rhyme song. The opening melody is very fanciful and sweet. The quintessential nature of the butterfly is her transformation from caterpillar during metamorphosis. This transformation needed expression in music. The Butterfly in this song continues her transformation into a human social butterfly. The melody also changes abruptly to reflect the new and exciting life she is seeking. The backing of the violoncello transforms into an overdrive electric guitar with percussion from a full drum set.

Lyrics
I am just a butterfly Feel Free
Painted wings on purple flowers Real Me
I emerge from my cocoon Hide Me
After all the April showers Seek Me
You will see me flutter by Hold Me
In the garden there for hours Feel Me
But when I'm in the mood
I shed my innocence
I’ll dance around the moon
I only need the chance
Butterfly Butterfly trying to multiply
Everyone satisfy on my mind in my eye
I go out in the night everything is alright
As I dance in the light of the moon
I'm a Butterfly just a Butterfly
I'm a Butterfly of the Night
I'm a social butterfly Friendly
Painted lips and big eyelashes Lovely
I won't stay inside my room Lonely
Grab my phone and my Sunglasses Meet Me
Everybody passing by Find Me
Turn their heads to watch me dancing See Me
And if I'm in the mood
I lose my innocence and
Dance around the room
I go into a trance
Butterfly Gratify Please be my Alibi
Private eye Counterspy Don't need to justify
Butterfly Lullaby Mystify Me
Butterfly Butterfly trying to multiply
Everyone satisfy on my mind in my eye
I go out in the night everything is alright
As I dance in the light of the moon
I'm a Butterfly just a Butterfly
I'm a Butterfly of the Night
Butterfly Gratify Please be my Alibi
Private eye Counterspy Don't need to justify
Butterfly Lullaby Mystify Me
I am just a butterfly Feel Free
Painted wings on purple flowers Real Me
