my biography
A little history about the piece... by Aeronaut
This 20 minute piece in five parts started with a simple piano piece on my piano, and a small piece of lyric I wrote some time ago in my scrapbook. I was visiting some deceased relatives graves when I stopped by a section where children were buried. At that moment the sentence "Dreams are buried here..." came into my mind.
I intended to write an instrumental piece with some voice-over poem. I talked about that to Mindmovie and he suggested that I asked Artie Q.
Artie agreed and did a great job on the vocals of part 1n called "Only the wind".
While I was writing part 1 we got a phonecall from a friend who told us that her brother had suddenly died at age 56.
That is when I decided to abandon the "children" theme, and I started on part 2, that was inspired by the green fields full of graves in the west of flanders where the thousands of soldiers who died in World War I are buried. I wrote a small poem and asked Artie to help me out with that. And so this piece became about lost dreams and unfulfilled lives of soldiers who died in the war.
In the meantime, Artie got inspired by part 1 also, and he asked me to send him the audio files of part 1, but at a faster bitrate. Since I program everything in midi, that was easy to do.
Some days later, Artie came up with "Falling", which I liked very much. I asked him if we could add it to the piece and luckily he agreed, so this became part 3.
My work on part 2 went on, and I decided to use an electric guitar in it. At first I also wrote it in midi, with a sample, but Artie suggested that I asked Mindmovie to give it a try. I thought this was a great idea and this was where Mindmovie came in.
In the meantime I was writing part 4, as some kind of conclusion to the piece. I asked Artie if I could use some of his phrases and themes from "Falling" to end and unite the pieces. I also used the guitar again, another job for Mindmovie.
This time it was Mindmovie who got inspired and I send him all the midi parts of part 4, and so he came up with part 5, for which Artie delivered some new vocal material.
Dreams are buried here... in five parts
I. Only the wind...
And somewhere
As moonlight falls upon these graves
We all turn silent and bow our heads
Too many, too young have died
Now, only the wind is whispering:
“Dreams are buried here...”
Words & Music: Aeronaut
Vocals: Artie Q
II. Lament for the path of war
Green fields and countless graves
Witness in silence
The broken dreams
Of a son,
a father,
a mother,
a daughter,
brother
or sister...
The path of war
Offers the road to glory
But often ends here
A place where dreams are buried...
This part starts with weeping voices, lamenting the violent confrontation to come. Instruments argue with each other and the drums of war start to sound, taking us to the violence and confusion of the battlefield. Suddenly this all stops for the soldier who is killed, leaving his unfulfilled life and dreams on the battlefield... and also those of his family and loved ones....
Words & Music: Aeronaut
Vocals: Artie Q
Electric Guitar: Mindmovie
III. Falling
An old man surveys a sea of graves; they belong to his fallen comrades from a war long ago. He ponders why he survived and they didn’t. In the song, he returns to his youth and the horrors of the battlefield. It was not “faith” that kept his hopes alive in the heat of the battle, but the thought of seeing his beloved, again. Though he survives, one image is forever etched in his memory: Falling Down ... Getting Up and Falling Down.
Written by Artie Q - inspired by part 1.

IV. What of tomorrow?
What of tomorrow?
Haven’t got a clue...
What of tomorrow?
Just the thought of you,
(Dreams)
That’s what gets me through
What of tomorrow deals with 2 questions.
How do you go on when the unthinkable has happened, and your loved one has become a name on a wall, on a cross in an endless field,... How do you go on with your life?
“What of tomorrow?” is also a more global question. Will humanity ever be able to solve our differences without turning to violence? How many wars do we have to fight... How many dreams will be lost?

Thanks to Mindmovie for mastering all the music.
The poppy picture for the cover image was taken by my 15 year old son Corneel De Corte.
The poppy is used as a remembrance symbol for the fallen soldiers of World War I.
"In Flanders Fields" is one of the most famous poems written during the First World War, and has been called "the most popular poem" produced during that period. It is written in the form of a French rondeau. Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote it on May 3, 1915, after he witnessed the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, the day before. The poem was first published on December 8, that year in Punch magazine.

- Hello Jef, let me thank you again for giving me the chance to participate in this great project. It was a real honour to me working together with such two talents than Artie and yourself are. Your sad melodies and Artie's talent as a speaker and singer really inspired me to try my best to express all that teariness.
