Best of SoundCloud

Solo Romantic Guitar

An exploration in reggae universe with my old clarinet  ;-)

Clari-Reggae

Together.    A remarkable gathering of more than twenty of my favorite SoundCloud musicians.  Guitars, keyboards, basses, tenor sax, clarinet and vocals. Together's musicians are serious creative instrumentalists and are inspirations to so many.  Many are recording artists.  The finest players I know here.   So many are simply remarkable.
   
Together represents what SoundCloud is about, and how effectively musicians can work across the world.   Musicians who have never ever even spoken with each other, but recognize each other by their sounds and the notes, rhythms and phrases they play.  Pretty damn cool.

12 countries are represented here  -- Canada, Dubai, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and the US.   

There are two sections to the piece - a blues piece and a modal fusion section, with soloists across each part, showcasing their distinctive voices.  Vocalatti's beautiful singing is woven throughout the piece - her words and voice really pull us together.  The wonderful keyboard head during the opening and closing was composed and performed by Calaminus, who also has added the great organ comping you hear throughout.   The first and last soloists are brilliant musicians and soloists, as are so many throughout.    

It's been such a pleasure to pull this together over the past 3 weeks.  So sit back and enjoy a true SoundCloud experience.    

We thank you so much for your time listening, your comments and your shares to followers and social media.  And thank you for your exploring and following these wonderful players and voices on their instruments.

Pat Metheny - And I Love Her (The Beatles)

This is the Main Theme from Ennio Morricone's amazing film Score to Cinema Paradiso.

Cinema Paradiso-Theme

About a month ago I released a solo flamenco nuevo piece for acoustic guitar called The Ornament of Solitude in the style of Soleá. I felt that it could have an alternative instrumentation by adding a string section and some extra percussion here and there. This is regularly done by the flamenco guitar greats causing a more ballad kind of feel to the music. 
As I like both versions, the original pure guitar and percussion one as well as this more romantic version, I decided to share this one with you as a reprise and surprise. Some of you already had a sneak preview, but now here it is for every one to hear...

I hope you will appreciate this new take on my earlier release and as always very much appreciate your shares, comments and likes. Thank you!

Irie !!

Here's my original track I made after a long long time...
dedicated to the loners who had envisioned a design for his/her ideal city during late modern times, which has never been realized because of its radical idealism and criticism against the reality of materialistic world.

It's an instrumental blues rock, but actually, I wrote the draft at first as a song with lyrics a couple of years ago, but I couldn't finish the lines, and let it alone... then almost have forgotten... but I found it on my HD a few months ago, then have revised it as a completely instrumental version...
I hope you enjoy. Any feedback will be appreciated...Thank you in advance.

[Ain't the one - Music info]
- Music Composition, Instrumentation (Guitars, Bass Guitar and Drums) and Production: Hiroshi Kohno
 - All were played and recorded in the studio (live, open-mic-rec)

This time, I didn't use any distortion effector...instead, done with minimal overdrive of amps to avoid the undesired turbidity of sounds while picking the several strings at once, since I found that my strat had the problem with intonation tuning on the high position, which I couldn't adjust myself...

- Guitar: Fender USA Stratocaster '58 extra re-issued(tuned to one semitone dropped down)
 w/ Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Amp.
>> Lead(on the right) & Some other small fills (various position): 
 Front-PU, w/Boss CS-2, Vintage CE-1 & Maxon AD-9. 
 Additionally, Boss BF-2 for Choir-like fills.
 >> Rhythms (on the left): 
 Half-tone(front-middle PU), w/Maxon RTC600, MXR Phase90 & Maxon AD-9.
- Bass: Fender USA '66 Precision-Bass 
 w/ Fender Bassman Amps, plus Boss CS-2.
*All effectors were anterior use to amps. 
- Drums: Tama Acoustic Drum Kit w/Zildjian Cymbals (6-mics rec).
- Mixing and a few minor edit (revision) of drums : DAW.

It's five o'clock in the morning, and I can't seem to stop my mind from ticking.....

5 O'Clock In the Morning (feat. Sheela Gathright)

ع بالي إسهر .. ع بالي إرتاح

    ع بالي سافر .. ع بالي لاقى المفتاح

    ع بالي أمور السما ع الأرض تنحلّ

    غير هيك .. ع بالي فكّر

    ع بالي شوف ناس

    ع بالي إكتُب عن يالّي ما بينشاف

    ع بالي حِلّ هالعقدة الـ ما عم بتروح

    ما معقول شو نِكتة

    ع بالي كون الفرق بين الأرض والهوا والبرق

    شو في ع بالك .. حخفف ع بالَك

    في ع بالي كتير

    حسمعك بالي .. ما عليه بلاوي

    الهوا ع بالي حيطير

    ع بالي إمشى ببحر نضيف

    ع بالي أصحاب يكون بالُن خفيف

    ع بالي كِل الشعب ع نفس الموال

    ع بالي إسبح .. ع بالي إفرح .. ع بالي إسرح

    ع بالي إمرح .. ع بالي إفلح .. ع بالي إطرح

    عليكُن سؤال بيحرج .. مين

    مش مرتاح البال

    متِل مل قلت

    ع بالي الأمور بين السما والأرض تنحلّ
