I’M GOING DOWN THE RIVER
JUST LIKE A ROAD OF WATER
FLOWING MY LIFE BUT YONDER
SAME WAY THAT WENT MY BROTHER

A MILLION DESTINATIONS
AND NO NEED OF DIRECTIONS
NO CHOICE AS FAR I KNOW
THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO GO

THERE’S A BIG ROCK AT THE CORNER
SOLID AND SOLIDAIRE
AND WHEN I NEED CONSOLATION
I KNOW I’LL ALWAYS FIND HIM THERE

I’M GOING DOWN THE RIVER
DRIFTWOOD FLOATING BY
AND I’VE GOT INTUITION
SOMEONE’S WAITING FOR ME THERE
SO
FORGET ME NOT MY BROTHER
YOU WHOM I NEVER KNEW
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME CONFUSION
ONCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU

THE ROCK (Lyrics)

Although my favorite artist was always Vangelis, I am influenced by many artists I listen to (not just electronic musicians). I don't think anyone can control influences, at least I, objectively speaking, am not capable of doing so.

Sometimes they are not perceived, but in others they become too evident.

In this case the influence is from Enya. An artist that I listened to at the height of her years ago and who seems sensational to me.

19 tracks from xewton forum and native MS2 instruments and 11 tracks from Synthmaster Kv331.

And...in this case.....I trusted my ear and didn't mix it in my car. You tell me how it sounds 😬.

Thank you very much for your listening and comments.

Paco.

Your Wicked Ways

To My Children

Travel the world

I have to raise my head 
to meet your gaze
to tell you how much i'm proud
my child, my hope 

Seeing you is a feast
That s worth all the billions
the treasures of the earth
so, stay with me tonight 

I will tell you 
some fables and tales 
the most beautiful stories
at thousand miles around 

and i'll take you 
to travel the world 
without even moving 
just in few seconds 
if you stay with me tonight 

Time has betrayed me 
i measure how much i'm late
have i been a good father ? 
Well it's never too late 

doubts and regrets 
i have my cupboards full 
but you know how much i love you 
so, stay with me tonight 

And i will find 
your eraser and pencils 
at the bottom of a drawer 
your airplane models 

and i will take out 
 your songs notebooks 
your violin and my guitar 
and we'll sing them along
if you stay with me tonight 

and i'll take you 
to travel the world 
without even moving 
just in few seconds 
if you stay with me tonight

Le Tour Du Monde (translated lyrics)

This is a song that started as a stem with which Ian (IPG1) let Tez and I play. Tez made the riddim and added the guitar, producing a chord structure with which for me to work. I added bass, piano, synth, and sitar. Tez produced and mixed the whole thing. Ian's rapping is the centerpiece of the whole thing, though. Both of these guys are very special and talented. We hope you enjoy the song.

Bouncing Off The Bass (with IPG1 aka Lou and Llanpsych)

Entheogenic Psychonaut's track The Shining steering in a darker direction with Llanpsych at the controls.
Please bring your own axe to the party 🪓

The Shining - Llanpsych REDRUM Mix

unfortunately I am free of any profound knowledge at the keys ! but I can not leave it :-D .... free improvisation in one go ... I hope the layered sounds make the piece interesting enough ! ... I myself feel it's nice to dream away ... The pretty illustration is by Juanita Mulder, pixabay
.......... a little joke on the side: I used completely fearless all black and white keys ...!

some jingling - free improvisation

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.
