Don't Care

LIVE // 2:45 - Don't Care #TBT [ Lo quito, lo pone ]

Pensées

Combines different styles, kind of jazz and film soundtrack. Rhythm is driven by bass and keys, with a stack of guitar overdubs.

City Life

Several decades ago, a daughter of a middle-class family had disappeared & ended up with her body tossed in a river.
The deceased had 4 siblings that were jealous of her & wanted her inheritance portion.
So, before her 18th birthday the egomaniac sisters decided to get rid of her. 
In a plot to drive the victim crazy, they failed. The wicked sisters then contrived a plan to ensure that their desires would be fulfilled by their own maniacal methods. They would invite their target to go swimming. 
...Except, when they all joined together under the guise of family love, they strangled & drown their innocent sister. 
Now the body has come to the surface & is discovered by fishermen out boating. The sisters do not yet know they will now be hunted for custody. 
The strange thing about the murder case is that the other relatives were found to be in on the death, too. Greed was an obvious malefactor set to create demise, but there was far more of a dark secret that was the motive for doing away with the one sister. What did the deceased know that she shouldn't have?
The authorities have a tough road ahead of them as they cut through a thick 'wall' of family feigned charm turned fatal.

Discovering The Missing Body

Thistledown

Oh it's a rainy day, turning my heart upside down

Raindrops, raindrops, pitter patter all over this town

It's just a day, just a day

But these blues are bringing me down

It's just a day, another day

Blown away like thistledown


And what are we to do, is this deva vu

Cos I think that i've been here before

And it's all the same, with another name

We don't get what we have asked for

It's just a day, another day

These blues are bringing me down

It's just a day, another day

Blown away like thistledown

It's just a day, a rainy day

These blues are bringing me down

It's just a day, another day

Blown away like thistledown

Lyrics: 
So, don't you think it's getting old now
Empty rounds, sprayed all around
So, don't you think it's getting old now
It could be different now
Somehow

Not another one, oh no

Wake up

not another one - Jonathan Beckenstein/cw

Not as polished a mix, this was part of the UMF demo-in-the-works, but they did land us some gigs. You'd be surprised how terrible the P/A systems of some venues are - they couldn't spot the subpar quality of these demo recordings, apparently :)

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.
