Description: 'Juggling With Live Grenades' is a mixed genre track originally intended as a backing track to a monologue. However the other person involved pulled out and so I "expanded" the track and here is the result.

Superb return to the lyrical mode... Great to see you are still going strong, Alan! I hope you are well!

Lovely mix and tight musicianship. Bravo :)

Picked up, listened to, loved, liked, reposted, commented on, worth listening to!

By My Side

Ah Sue 
Our time is coming soon
I’ll save a place for you
By my side

And so 
No matter how it goes
Our love can only grow
Across time

As we make our way
Through each day
Gets a little closer to when we can say
That we never have to be apart again

Ah Sue
It’s not been easy it’s true
But that will all end soon 
In good time

One day this all will seem like a distant memory
And we can live our lives like it was meant to be

So now 
Don’t let it get you down
There’s no need to frown
It’s just the price we pay

As we make our way
Through each day
Gets  a little closer to when we can say
That we never have to be apart again

Ah Sue 
Our time is coming soon
I’ll save a place for you
By my side
By my side
By my side

It's pretty straight forward but I sometimes still need to remind myself to choose the path that is right for me. Here's a reminder for anyone trying to make a decision about something.

If it don't feel right
It ain't right
If it don't feel right 
Put it out of your sights
Don't go that way
Don't stay 
For the show
Cuz If it don't feel right 
If it don't feel right 
If it don't feel right 
You know
It ain't right

If It Don't Feel Right It Ain't Right

Welcome vacations

I'm only doing the singing on this one (trying to anyway). Not the greatest vocals but I just think this is a special song, one of Peter’s best, and wanted to share it, especially with those who haven’t heard it before. It's about growing old and getting your cherished memories in order while you're still able.

Second version of a tune I first recorded back in the 2001
Laying on a beach with the ambient Sun bathing you with its warmth, dreaming of what makes you peaceful and Happy.

Silver Clouds Version 2 (2008-9)

This music is loosely inspired by John Lurie's very engaging TV show, "Painting With John".

Wake Up by Jeamland & WÜST

Vortex chaotique, les idées s’entrechoquent, les repères se dérobent, les lignes se floutent. 

Le centre de l’instabilité, un paradoxe en mouvement, Où l’ordre et le chaos se mêlent, se confondent, Peut-être est-ce là que se cache la beauté, Dans cette fragilité qui nous pousse à chercher l’éternité.

Le centre de l’instabilité

Emotional and beautiful dance of love. Sensual, inspiring and romantic classical music performed by a chamber orchestra and string solos.

You and Me (Dance of Love)

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.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
