Old School Memories

Playback of 2023

This are the collaborations I made with Alan Hamilton over the last years. It's a great thing that happens through SC, to meet such wonderful musicians and human beings.
We are together - from time to time - Louis Taverna, John Hamilton, Andy Grossart, Tony Conway. The music is mainly Alan's, and I added the Woodwind arrangements and playing, mainly soprano, baritone and tenor saxes, but here and there flute, alto flute, clarinet and bass clarinet.

'Set Up The Easel' is a Jazz Fusion track featuring Georg Boehme on Saxes and Flutes. It's been a real pleasure working with Georg on this piece and his sax arrangements and soloing are simply wonderful. So thank you Georg, for this immense contribution on this track.

Experimenting with the sound
Billy Korg and wink's in town
Duality

Duality

Duality

Duality - Billy Korg & winkandwoo

Going 90 miles an hour
Jacked up to the sky
Not a bit of tread left on the tire

Even tho my fuel pump
is known to shut off at an time
I’m gonna light this road on fire

You know what I’m gonna do?
You wanna have some fun?
Somebody knows what I’m going through
Surely I’m not the only one

Light a brown bag of dog shit on Death’s door
And keep on knocking knocking
Till I know
And keep on ringing ringing
Till I’m sure
I wanna see him stomp it out on the porch

I built my own KX 
Even though I must admit
I don’t know shit about it
Two hundred fifty sexy cc’s, man she fast

Run it balls to the walls though I must admit
I must admit I don’t know shit about it 
I’ll be in the pit fuckin get’n it 
You know the rest

You know what I’m gonna do?
You wanna have some fun?
Somebody knows what I’m going through
Surely I’m not the only one

Light a brown bag of dog shit on Death’s door
And keep on knocking knocking
Till I know
And keep on ringing ringing
Till I’m sure
I wanna see him stomp it out on the porch

Death’s Door

This is an alternate mix of IPG1's Heavy Magic.   This was my original direction with this tune  - more funky and electronic, but the previous mix idea hit me and I couldn't put it down until it was done.  Now they're both done.  enjoy!

Gimme that mic----- once committed there's no limit
My true friend to the end----and I'm in it to win it
Putting art to the verse-----it's simply amazing
From the start I traverse the bars----fired up and blazing
Spit a bar and rehearse----- but --son----Still not done
Pull another out the air--------where'd that verse come from
Could it be that easy-----------that's a conundrum
Don't believe what you're hearing---- not until I'm all done
Ride the bars of the track -----without hesitation
Provide a look back ----for future generations
There's a real simple answer -----to this equations
IPG1's on the mic---and he rock the nation

-----driven ------impulsive ------true that
------ given -----prospective----got that
-------proven----progressive----on track
------infusing the message------ that's pure fact
------unforgiving ---unrelenting---like close combat
Pass me the mic and then——step the fuck back
It’s the underground————baby—a total—-power pack
———Underground ---domain--YEAH!---don't forget that-----
--Precision on the mic no regrets—-bitch I said it
------if I said it--- it's so --you better know
Come on let's get it--let's go----let's go--
living the——-highs ———as well as the lows
Keys from the underground—-Anything goes
Apts to the penthouse---yeah----maybe so—- but I’m
Trading the jeep for a Rolls —- just so you know
freedom of choice——-come on let’s go
Making my own laws——-so———fuck five-O
fuck five-O

——————-Cause there’s ----- no where to go but Up from the bottom
The art the craft the skillzzzz---yeah I gottem
Erupting from the pressure-----so� follow the flow
And I ain’t gonna stop until the whole hill glows
————-until the whole hill glows
Chorus
Little did they all know
ready from the word go
a born leader ——was never —-meant to follow
Creative—-innovator ——- that skill set you can borrow
￼a hustlers a schemer——i’mer holler back tomorrow

****
Incinerate trackss———￼That’s legendary
Life’s....all —business—-so —-it’s necessary
Mind body and spirit—-the souls outta body——...
Flame on —-ignite the fires—- then I’m gone
Game on—-Been fighting the fight ——since I was born
Turn up—- haters—you been —informed
Aims on —target—- I don’t miss —-forewarned
Dream on—— think you nice like this——-ahhh—come on

bringing fire to the game
Ignition to the flames
Pyro the name----No Hype—morals or- shame
going hard———just so —-you all know
If I crash and burn—-flame on —————-It’s just pyro
Bring it full circle—-ignition to the flame
Spark a fire——once it’s lit————it will ——never be the same

'The Path To The Secret Doorway (Feat. Georg Boehme)' This has been a tremendous musical journey with Georg. And for me, a very special one. Georg's wind arrangements are nothing less than sublime and it's just been an honour for me, sharing this journey with him.
The "Path" is the music and behind the "Secret Doorway" .....well that's the secret, isn't it?
I hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to hearing any thoughts you may have after listening to it, should you have the time or inclination to leave them in the comments.

Something to confess

«Flamingo Croquet. End of Tale»

'Imagination Becomes Reality' A Jazz Fusion Track inspired by how the title reads really. If we can imagine something then it can become real. The important question is, What is imagination and what is reality? Are they both "real"?  An age old question, which can only be answered by an inner search.
The piece is shared with the " very real and very imaginative" playing of Wind Master, Georg Boehme, whom I can't thank enough for being involved with me on this musical journey.
 Wind Instrument List: Bass Clarinet/Baritone Sax/Tenor Sax/Alto Sax/Soprano Sax.
Drums & Parcussion: Superior Drummer 3
Basses: Spectrasonics Trilian 
Keys: Arturia/Native Instruments
Mix: DAW - Steinberg Cubase 12

Imagination Becomes Reality

Imagination Becomes Reality - Alan Hamilton & Georg Boehme

'Alone In A Crowded Place' is a fusion track inspired by the experience of feeling alone whilst surrounded and in the midst of a large group of people. Composition is shared with Georg Boehme, whilst Georg's wind arrangements are simply mind blowing as is his soloing on this track. So then once again I have had the exceptionally good fortune of sharing another musical journey with this extraordinary player, arranger and composer.
Thank you for listening and please leave your thoughts in the comments should you have the time and/or inclination to do so.
Alan.

Alone In A Crowded Place ( Hamilton and Boehme)

'Accessing The Inner Worlds' is a jazz Fusion piece inspired by a feeling of freedom to search our creative gifts on this musical journey. No contraints on having to stay with the boundaries of a given or perceived "genre". I hope we have achieved this goal and once again for me, a priviledge and pleasure to share the composition and arrangement with my friend Georg Boehme. Georg's wind arrangements and playing on this piece once again illustrating his immense skills as a player, arranger and composer.

The great virtuoso flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia passed away this year, so I thought I'd honor his amazing music with this Spanish guitar piece I wrote and recorded....all done on keyboards.  Enjoy - and thanks as always for listening and your comments.

This is my cover of Teen Town by Weather Report composed by Jaco Pastorius, from the album Heavy Weather. I didn't use any click track. The drums were all played live, starting with the basic rhythm track, then I added the drum hits. I later made the two drum tracks separately in mono, so I could control the reverb for the drum hits. The synth sounds were a combination of the Nord piano 2 88 and Yamaha m06. The Rhodes piano was done on the Korg SV 88, and I played real fretless bass. For the doubling unison spots, I recorded them separately without hearing the other bass track, so it would make it easier to concentrate on the pitches. I sang the soprano saxophone parts also through a Lewitt MTP540 microphone. The conga drums were done on the Yamaha m06. ~ Rachel Flowers

I often think that the shorter I spend time to complete a  song the better the result is .But contrary, in one-man band music based on the computer, try and error is often the case and I sometimes can not listen to my song objectively:)
That’s why I’ m not confident at all when uploading a new song.
Anyhow I completed this song and hope you enjoy it!

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.
