Description: 'Speccyville' is a mixed genre track really and is simply a release of feelings of how I felt at the time of putting it together.

I love this calm section❣️ Good job‼️

So many moods captured in this one, wonderfully, seamlessly connected into a single cohesive representation.

My favorite mood here; sweet, mellow, ambient, like a deep breath of fresh air.

An amazing showcase of writing and performing ability, and such a lovely listen.

really great music again Alan - cool guitar - reminds me a bit of Tommy Bolin

From amped-up to introspective: opposite of how most music goes. But done extremely well!

I'm not always the biggest fan of jazz fusion, but you're definitely helping to turn me around  :)

In a dream I looked up into the dark purple, black night sky and saw a transparent jellyfish. Its upturned rim was lined with soldiers. 
" It will be a silent start to world war three" I thought....

Northwest Passage (Mastered With Frogs And Starry Clear Sky At 83pct + BIG Banjo Ending)

strange world

Elle a le look d’un bouledogue énervé, majeur dressé sur son blouson clouté,
Doc, Martens,  ferrés à ses pieds, lunettes noirs qui tombent sur son nez,
Dans la journée, elle vend des livres au marché,
Petite robe, mais toujours, toujours les Doc Martens aux pieds.

Démarche chaloupée,  d’un mannequin de chez Gauthier,
Elle trace la foule en Reine, elle vole vers la scène,

Elle chante, chante, oh oui, chante, chante,
Au son, qui guide sa voix,
Elle danse, danse, oh oui, danse, danse,
Sur la musique, qui guide ses pas,
Les guitares l’emportent,  elle n’a peur de rien.
Inter: 4 mesures

Si, par hasard un jour, vous la croisez, faites gaffe, son cœur est secret,
Sa peau est souple, mais son cuir est tanné,
Sur sa fesse gauche, Maman tatouée,     faut pas rêver,
Dans la journée, elle vend des bouquins au marché,
Petite robe, mais toujours, toujours, toujours, les Doc Martens aux pieds.

Démarche chaloupée,  d’un mannequin de chez Gauthier,
Elle trace la foule en Reine, elle vole vers la scène,

Elle chante, chante, oh oui, chante, chante,
Au son, qui guide sa voix,
Elle danse, danse, oh oui, danse, danse,
Sur la musique, qui guide ses pas,
Les guitares l’emportent,  elle n’a peur de rien.

Elle se déplace comme un félin nerveux,
Dans sa démarche y a la patte des Dieux,
La vie, l’amour, ce n’est qu’un grand jeu,   
Le rock,   y a pas mieux
La journée, sur le marché, elle lit Prévert en secret,
Petite robe, mais toujours, toujours, les Doc Martens aux pieds.

This piano piece is dedicated to all people that need to leave. Their homes, their loved ones, their lifes that they had so far. Because they see no future, because some regime presses them to go to war, because they have broken with their loved ones. All the best to you and may you find a new home!

Compositionwise: The piece is structured into 4 parts (starting @0:02, @0:45, @1:38 and @2:44). Each of the parts starts with a question-like motive built around Ninths. As with most of my pieces, I investigate applied perturbation theory also in this track by starting these 4 parts almost – but only almost – with the same notes and exploring, how initially tiny tweaks in the beginning of the parts evolve over time into distinctly different melodies, harmonics and moods.
Overall, the piece constantly oscillates between melancholic minor and consoling major harmonies and periods of relative calm interrupted by more restless forward driving parts. The transitions between the parts are made more seamless by ritardandos and by question-answer pairs such as e.g, @ 1:28 or @ 2:33. Most of the accompaignment in the left hand is in Vienna classic-like triad decompositions but for the climax of the track starting @ 2:02, the left hand switches to rock-piano-like octave jumps to increase the sense of emotional agitation. The track starts in A major and ends in Eb major which is said to be a warm and melancholic tonality. Tthe two keys are opposite each other (6 jumps away), so I guess, this is the maximum range of modulation possible to emphasize the sense of distance and leaving. 
The track can also be found on Spotify and on Youtube. Enjoy!

Leaving (Solo Piano)

A fairly uninhibited venture into traditional tonal Melodic-Harmonic territory in which the object of the exercise was to please the senses with completely recognisable tonal stimuli, this track is a reworking of f,,,Mmm,m,mmmm a piece I composed originally in 2019. In the current revision I could not resist the impulse to make several 'daring' modulations which may place more of a burden on the listener than was my original intention
I made use in this case of the eMastered online mastering service.

lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

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.
