Hey Alan man, this is an impressive and enjoyable song. Love the e. piano glissandos, and your sax playing is very expressive. Awesome work on a wonderful song here, man!

Another fantastic track that I missed for a while.

Perfect instrumental vibe and impressive keys

Wonderful groove and playing!! Reminds me a lot of Traffic which I hope you will take a compliment 🙏👍

The epitome of an innovative and expressive sonic journey. I have a feeling this one will continue to evolve through subsequent listens. In addition to its sonic benefits, the technical aspects are just stellar.

What an exceptional piece of music, Alan! Amazing playing and production.

7th piece in a series of experiments to try other approaches:
'How it was sometimes, back then' 
• Guitar, bass, strings/keys, art: Ax. W. •
You're welcome to listen if you like, if you can.

I saw the sweets & drinks vending machines on the platform in Berlin-Tegel ... once again while waiting for the train, of course! ;-) But not so long this time. And I was very proud that I didn't pull out a bar during my candy detox phase! :-) #minimal #electro #techno #trance #liverecording

'E.T. In The Shadows' is a Jazz Fusion track  and collaboration with
Georg Boehme (Winds) and Andy Grossart (Bass). 
Andy sent me through a 32 bar Bass solo and asked me if I could use it. This is the outcome from that 32 bars. Georg's Wind arrangement and solos are as always, exhilarating and bring with them a special dynamic to the piece. Andy's bass, solid and sometimes unpredictable and bringing his unique style throughout. So thank you to both for bringing my piece alive and it's my pleasure and honour as always to share with you.

E.T. In The Shadows (Hamilton-Grossart-Boehme)

'Sleeping Warriors' Inspired by a mountain range in the Isle of Arran in Scotland, that when viewed from the mainland, the mountain range looks like a "sleeping warrior" and this is exactly what it is referred to.
Also the "sleeping Terra Cotta army" in China is a strong inspiration. Then of course there are the real life "sleeping warriors" who become awake in times of extreme hardship in their relative countries. So then here is the track to contemplate if you may be a "sleeping warrior".

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.
