All That Jazz 2024

These are my favorite songs I've heard in my travels on Soundcloud in the last 3 months. Songs that transcended just a simple like and repost. The songs are not in any particular order or ranking and is objective and devoid of any quid pro-quo influence. In other words, not being partial to my SC friends. These are simply the greatest things that I've enjoyed listening to over the last 3 months.😊

3. Smoke Sign & Enki - Blues Man (Original Mix)

I am once again honored to have guitarist Harry Jacobson join me on this dual guitar instrumental fusion track titled “CLOCK IS TICKING”.
What starts off as a repeating set of three cool sounding suspension chords accompanied by a simple repeating motif, quickly builds up and morphs in multiple layers of guitar-work by both myself and Harry.
I really enjoyed the many additional musical ideas that Harry brought forth, that helped propel this simple futuristic sounding concept to life.

Thank you both for your incredible gifts to me!  This makes me laugh out loud.


"Summertime" is an aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, and Ira Gershwin.
The song is sung several times throughout Porgy and Bess, and in act 3 by Bess, singing to Clara's now-orphaned baby after both parents died in the storm.

When Manuel sent me a guitar track over a year ago I fairly quickly decided to write an epilogue for Major Tom. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longish break from writing music. With infinite patience Manuel waited for me until now and to my even greater surprise this retro lyric has become almost current with the two NASA astronauts in space waiting for their return trip to Earth.



SEND ME A ROCKET
(MAJOR TOM THE EPILOGUE)

I can’t hear you 
Still I can see you
A cloudy ball in space
Nothing to keep it in place
This is my beautiful view
Nothing can make things right
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
This can’t be
This can’t be
My final fate

It’s been so long
It feels like you forgot me
Nobody cares about the shirts I wear 
Did you move onto something new
Cause I’m still looking at you
I’m still waiting for you

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Show me that you love me

You forgot so soon
It hurts all the time
You forgot I was a shining star
You wouldn't write enough about me
Oh, oh, I’m so sad

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Lighten your pocket
Show me that you love me
Send me some hope
Some hope

I can’t let go
I dream all the time
I wanna feel the sun and wind
I wanna go home

Stuck in my tin can
With no way out, out
Shiny and bright
Can you hear me shout, shout
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
Oh no, oh no
I want to go
Want to go
Want to go 
Want to go home
Go home
This can’t be
This can’t be

Cast of Characters:
 Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – foundational acoustic guitar and seed idea
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, lyrics, and vocals
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums and percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless bass
The Eclectic Collective — composition and mix

  This is the second song in a row that The Eclectic Collective is releasing in as many weeks that was written by Chris. We love working on his songs, and all jumped at the chance to play with this one, as well. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar, onto which he also put some heavy reverb, giving it an ethereal, chordal sound. To that bare bones, Josh fist added his four-string fretless bass to a click track, of all things. Luckily, Ken swooped in soon after and gave it a proper beat with his lively percussion performance. 
  Once the rhythm section was complete, Tez added his melodic, golden-tone guitar in there. Then, it was JJ's turn. He added not only the piano and synth, but wrote the lyrics and sang it, as well. 
  This song was actually mixed by the group, as we all added our parts, although Ken did some final adjustments, too.
  JJ's lyrics tell the story of the first people to reach Easter Island, millenia ago. The wonder of the journey and the discovery of a new home, while using the materials available to survive. Here are his original lyrics.

Original Lyrics by J.J. Terrell:
 
Through the eyes of the gentle rain
Monuments raised where the Lapwings stay
All the sand, the hourglass of man sifts here
A traveling band of gypsies in this land appear
Crowd the fire as the night sets in
Listen for tales of enlightenment
Until dawn
The flowered down of a bird so true
Pure as heaven, the chosen few
It's all waiting for the night

Moonlight Dance (feat. Fr. Harris)

I search for sounds and assemble them. I purposely switch the order. I try switching different rhythms for each phrase. Usually, a song is born that is like a "poker hand" with no winnings. This time, an image was born. An image that I didn't intend to create appeared. It's a lot of fun to fantasize about where I'm heading.

Images I drew with sounds (305)

I'm happy to present soon my new album "Soul Pulse". I started a new job this month, so I'm a bit slow to finish the mix. So here it is a very direct track I just did between yesterday (electronic) and today (bowls), trying to capture the essence of this album. Mainly I played with singing bowls and other meditative instruments like tongue drums, custom percussions mixed with electronic. I was inspired by this kind of electro/techno, with repetitive beats, trying to express the link between body and soul, very organic, a kind of spirituality all pumping by blood, and how everything is connected. And the power of will. It's all about being alive. This is how I would describe this bunch of tracks - and this quick track could be an introduction.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Schwarz wie Tinte fließt die Nacht
Durch die Schatten meiner Seele
(durch die Schatten, durch die Seele)
Jeder Atemzug bewacht
Von der Angst die ich verhehle

Zeit zerfließt wie Nebelmeer
(Zeit zerfließt)
Und die Last wird immer schwerer
(immer schwerer)

Doch ein Funke in der Nacht
Tanzt im Rhythmus alter Lieder
(Tanzt im Rhythmus)
Was verloren schien, erwacht
Kehrt als leise Hoffnung wieder
(Hoffnung wieder)

In der Dunkelheit gefangen
Kreisen endlos die Gedanken
(endlos kreisen sie)
Zukunftsängste, die mich bangen
Lassen alle Mauern wanken

Doch im Kern der tiefen Schwere
(tief in dieser Schwere)
Keimt eine neue Melodie
(eine neue Melodie)
Die mich trägt durch dunkle Meere
(trägt durch dunkle Meere)
Bis zum Morgenrot, ich fühl sie

Und der Funke in der Nacht
Wird zur Flamme, die mich leitet
(Flamme leitet)
Was zerbrochen war, erwacht
Wird zu Kraft, die mich begleitet
(Kraft begleitet)

In der Balance zwischen Licht und Schatten
(Zwischen Licht und Schatten)
Find ich Frieden, find ich Ruh
(Finde Frieden, finde Ruh)

English Translation:
Black as ink the night flows
Through the shadows of my soul
(through the shadows, through the soul)
Every breath guarded
By the fear I conceal

Time melts like a sea of fog
(Time melts away)
And the burden grows heavier and heavier
(heavier and heavier)

But a spark in the night
Dances to the rhythm of old songs
(Dances to the rhythm)
What seemed lost awakens
Returns as a faint hope
(Hope again)

Caught in the darkness
The thoughts circle endlessly
(endlessly they circle)
Fears of the future that make me anxious
Let all walls shake

But at the core of the deep heaviness
(deep in this heaviness)
A new melody germinates
(a new melody)
That carries me through dark seas
(carries through dark seas)
Until the dawn, I feel it

And the spark in the night
Becomes the flame that guides me
(Flame guides)
What was broken awakens
Becomes strength that accompanies me
(Power accompanies)

In the balance between light and shadow
(Between light and shadow)
I find peace, I find rest
(Find peace, find rest)

Seelenecho

Lament For The Fallen

Out of the mud and the blood came the sound of a man crying.
For those that survived were stricken with guilt and pain and loss.

So much death and wanton destruction, so many lives cut short.
The innocent, the old, the frightened, the babes in arms.

All are fodder for the apocalyptic horsemen, riding, forever riding ...

🎧 A night to remember EP 🙌 Milo Maven & Pueblo Vista
🌆 https://pvmm.ffm.to/antr

Milo Maven and Pueblo Vista join forces to craft a captivating sonic journey with their 4-track EP "A Night to Remember." Steeped in retro synthwave aesthetics, the project effortlessly blends 90s electronica nostalgia with contemporary flourishes, creating an evocative soundtrack for late-night escapades. From the opening notes, it’s clear this EP is a love letter to neon-lit cityscapes and moonlit highways, seamlessly fusing pulsating beats with dreamy melodies.

Each track radiates a distinct mood, yet all feel united by their smooth and polished production. Retro synth textures pulse against modernist touches, conjuring imagery of sleek cars gliding through endless streets under a hazy, starlit sky. The balance between hypnotic basslines, shimmering pads, and delicate melodic flourishes creates a dynamic listening experience that feels cinematic and deeply personal.

"A Night to Remember" is perfect for nostalgic dreamers and those who live for the quiet, reflective hours of the night. Pure magic.

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.
