Description: 'The Minstrel and the Jester' Just a title that popped into my head. This is where it went.

You painted an entire era with sound textures, colors, characters… all alive in this piece. Francesco Adornetto

You rock!🫵🏻🪨nice work man 👊🏻😎

A fantastic track, Alan! A wonderful display of your skills, along with engaging melodic solutions and rhythmic voltaics, it provides a brilliant fulfillment for the listener. A production masterpiece!

Wow Alan! Phil Keaggy comes to mind. What

finest jazz fusion.. wonderfully arranged and played..really amazing composition, perfectly produced !

this reminds of F.Zappa... George Duke playing and Ruth Underwood..so good !

Looking at the waveform, you already start wondering what will change at that point. To me, the only thing that feels out of place is the title…  Pauses and accelerations, all handled with great mastery. 👏👏👏

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a late-night improvisation in the early 1990s.
Cover: Oil painting by my wife Andrea

Dunkelbunt

Rhythmic drums and hearts collide,
beneath their tartan’s proud disguise.
Each soldier boy, a child inside,
beholds this dawn with hollowed eyes.
The fetor of fear and peat and sweat,
bleeding under the thunder’s moan.
They steel their hearts, lest they forget,
the men they must become.

Before the Battle Begins

Has anyone heard of Sound Cloud Official News ? It seems like a scam , but I'm investigating and I'll keep you updated , it's convincing and very clever , we will see ! News Flash ! Just found out they want $2000 up front , not in a million years , avoid this scam !
Anyway , Gaz came up with a wacky song idea , me and him are fighting over Kim , it took a bit of sorting with the 3 of us involved in the recording , we hope you really like what we've done , it's quite different ! Me and Gaz are working on a back to basics acoustic/vocal song at the moment .
Next up is a rocker with Kim , and more with Dave Cooper , Tony Harris , and Kim . Charlie and the Fox are up and running again as me and Charlotte are writing again , our 1st album links are below . Axel is working so hard on the Xmas song , me and Andrea owe him a beer or two , I've heard he likes beer ! Thank you for listening folks , and scammers beware , I'm on to you !

I like to wine & dine you in the best
Restaurants Mitchell star
It’s Gregg’s or Maccies on the bus cause this man he don’t own a car
(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost

Chorus

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times
In this three point love affair x2

V2
I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t have a clue
(I’m enjoying this boys can’t we stay close
I’m enjoying this boys wait to see what’s under my coat )
Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share

Chorus
G C
If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times
GDEm
In this three point love affair ……repeat to end

3 Point Love Affair

Tension riser.

Once again, I've used Emily's amazing vocals in a way she definitely never intended. I am sure she didn't expect it to be in a rockin' track like this. I'm playing all of the guitars, bass and keys, and I created the drums out of midi loops. (Yes, I played 2 all-time classic rock  riffs in the center section) BTW, if you haven't checked out Emily's page with all of her awesome open collab vocals, go here right now... https://soundcloud.com/freevocals. Great stuff.

The morning sunrise brings a light to my eyes
Chases all the shadows from
The corners of my mind

Good things come to those who wait
Wait a minute, I’m hanging up the phone
I’m hanging up

My evening drive stuck in a line going nowhere
Feel frustrated, hoping I might 
Make up some lost time

You say what’s good for you is good for me
But that aint good for me

The day just drags on
How can hours be so long?
Time just moves so slow when I’d rather be somewhere

Make You Wait

Sainsonic feat. Synthesizer V Eri - Angel Love

A worship anthem declaring that even when we can’t see the road ahead, He is still making a way. Rooted in Psalm 37:7–9, this powerful and uplifting praise song reminds us to trust, pray, and move when God says go.

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.
