Bodhisattva appeared on their second album "Countdown to ecstasy" in 1973. The song itself is a wild mixture of a basic Rock'n roll, Progressive Rock and Jazz. The ultra-fast tempo, the swing-feeling and the instrumental show-offs point to an ancestor of Rock'n Roll: Jump blues.
The Jump blues genre was developed by big bands like the one of Lionel Hampton. The steady beat should animate to dance and the new style became popular in the late 1940 to 1950.

The center of the Steely Dan song is the famous guitar-solo by Denny Dias. Dias plays very much a Bebop-solo here and how he creates a climax and how he is driving through the chord-changes is just breathtaking. The beginning and end of "Bodhisattva" showcases pure progressive rock/ Jazz Rock. The theme is presented by harmonized guitars before going into the "Jump blues"-section, which is the real song behind all the guitar-stunts. At the end the song ends with another guitar-solo, less well-known than the middle one. So pretty much guitar-stuff …

About the cover: My intention is to reduce "Bodhisattva" to the basic song and to accent the Jump-blues influence. So I have cut the long Instrumental Intro and Outro and written a new beginning and end more in a Jump blues/Rockabilly-style to fit better to the real song. I added a small brass-section of two muted trumpets remembering the big-band-era. I have reduced the tempo from the original 220bpm to 168bpm for two reasons: I wanted to play the original solo exactly and I am not able to play it at 220bpm, so the solo is now more lyrical (though it's still fast), but maybe you can better hear details of this wonderful guitar-solo. Second with all the cuts the song had been too short, at the tempo of 168bpm I get a nice classic three-minute-song. In the middle of the solo suddenly it moves into a very melodic break-section and I tried to focus on the beauty of this part with additional trumpet-arrangements.

Bodhisattva
Would you take me by the hand
Bodhisattva
Would you take me by the hand
Can you show me
The shine of your Japan
The sparkle of your china
Can you show me
Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva
I'm gonna sell my house in town
Bodhisattva
I'm gonna sell my house in town
And I'll be there
To shine in your Japan
To sparkle in your China
Yes I'll be there
Bodhisattva

When Night Falls       (With Lizzie Taypen)

Meditation

Watch the sunrise and travel up higher and faster than light in the cosmic meditation saucer, touch further into the endless deeper beyond faster and faster we go the slower things seem to go with strange voices as we pass the realms of infinty and beyond dimensions and time to blend with the entire universe and its very escence and structure which we are all apart of touching every moment of every instance thats ever has and will ever exsist! Peace! :D

Euphoria 0.9hz ☯

The cover of the song "Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground" written by The White Stripes (released in 2001 on their album 'White Blood Cells')

Vocals: Amanda Sanderson ( @phoebeelena )
Backing Music (Drums and Guitars) & Production: Hiroshi Kohno

I’d like to thank Amanda for her great contribution with a splendid vocal performance to this project.

-------
Backing music of the song is the simplest one I've ever done- only with drums and guitars, without bass, any solo either or fills...no fancy thing, just with a dirty fuzz explosion.  
And its simpleness  is what I think is the essential part of this song, besides the way how Jack White sang on it with great rhyming, and I found that it was actually well structured to work very effectively for supporting the vocal lines, remaining also the retro hard rock feels as Jack White told that he wanted to have "struggle" within their performance - with some tiny discrepancies and gaps between each position - not to be  mechanical, plastic, nor too much smooth. 
So, I tried to keep its simpleness and raw feels as much as possible in this cover, too, without adding any accessory note or extra effect. Whilst the vocals are quite colory with lots of slight changes within the similar lines, and Amanda sung her own lines on them, too, which I adore very much, and I'm very delighted to share it with you here. 

I hope you enjoy. Any feedback will be appreciated. 
Please do not forget to visit Amanda's page for more of excellent works by her.

She's On My Mind

I'll be baby ill be a place where you can leave your things
ill have a lock on my door only you can open, falling apart
ill be baby ill be the perfect kind of sad that you can eat
ill be baby ill be a warm kind of mad at everything
ill hold my tongue when I am speaking out of turn
and then it'll all be silent, sober skies, and birds on their own wires

birds they just fall out of the sky
their wings get tired

birds they just fall out of the sky
people fall in love and people die

birds

Recorded live October 27, 2019 at the Friday Harbor Grand B&B in Friday Harbor, WA. I was playing classical music on a beautifully restored Steinway piano that is over 100 years old, and felt inspired to create this improvisation. I hope you enjoy it!

Friday Harbor Improvisation - Rachel Flowers

Due to the very scary Covid 19 Pandemic and everyone being in Lockdown we produced a home recorded performance.

Your lies
As they come in
The lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
As they come in
The lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
This time, believe nothing hurts
This time, believe nothing hurts
Your lies
There's a thousand drowned
And the lights will shine onto you
Listen to their lives
This time, believe nothing hurts
This time, believe nothing hurts
Oh, your lies
As they come in
They're drowning now
In your own sweet precious melody of lies
As they come in
We're drowning now
In your own sweet precious melody of lies

Reveal

Your Silence is an introspective and reflective song which stems from a scientifically proven fact that the brain responds to being ignored in the same way as it does to physical pain. Your Silence captures both the agony and ferocity one encounters in this situation, as well as the elements of undisputable beauty experienced alongside silence itself. 

Made in collaboration with hugely talented Alex Hall, praised by DJs, press and critics for his DIY approach to his 'British Pop' sound, and heavyweight mix engineer Jay Pocknell (whose past associates include Alt-J and Marika Hackman).

Your Silence

Thank you for your visiting, listening and supporting.

I'm a spare-time musician, usually working as an architect (running own atelier) on an average day.

I play: Guitar & Drums (respectively since 11 years old & 9 years old, since late 70's, quite intermittently, though; skipping some years not playing them while dedicated myself completely to architectural study and practice incl. working in  Europe),
and a little of Keys & Bass guitar (both of the later were started 10 years ago or so)

Roots: Classic Rock, R&B and Funk Rock, 70's Progressive Rock, 70's-early 80's HR/HM, also interested in many kinds of music and sound-art.
