"The Scent of Wood and Resin"
This one I dedicate to all great guitar builders. Just two weeks ago I bought a brand new Spanish guitar by Luthier Joan Cashimira, model 145, 100% handmade in Spain, with a Solid Spruce top and Cocobolo back and side. These wood types give this guitar an amazing tone and an incredible timbre. I hope to express that here in this piece, that I wrote on this beautiful guitar. It is loosely based on a flamenco style called Granaína, originating from Granada. It was originally danceable, but now has been freed up in its rhythm, is much slower, and is usually only sung or played as a guitar solo, reflecting its Arab-Moorish heritage more strongly than other fandangos. The end section takes it more into the direction of a duo, although the backing guitars have been double tracked making it actually a trio. Some of you that know me will hear the influence of the guitar trio, most likely from the period of Passion, Grace and Fire.

Special thanks to Theo Jacobs for suggesting to change the title into Spanish: "El Perfume De Madera Y Resina" (The Scent Of Wood and Resin").

I  hope you'll enjoy this one and as always I appreciate your time listening, comments and likes!

El Perfume De Madera Y Resina - Granaína | Dan Van Den Berg

Nocturnal | Under the Blood Moon

This is a flamenco oriented solo guitar instrumental that I mainly played and came up with late at night during several September days. Then on the 16th of September there was this unique phenomenon of a Blood Moon, being a lunar eclipse combined with a “supermoon”. I felt it appropriate to name this one after the Red Moon. 
This one basically has three sections, an introduction in the form of a Petenera, a moderately fast Bulería and the Outro returning again to the Petenera. 
The Petenera is a flamenco palo in a 12-beat metre, with strong beats. It is identical with the 16th century Spanish dances zarabanda and the jácara. It has a solemn quality that I think is fitting to the mood of a Nocturnal, a night song.
The Bulería part I did is different in harmonization from a regular bulería. I transposed the root note to a low F# to have different chord solutions allowing deep open bass strings to ring against high placed chords, high up the guitar neck.  It gives extra resonance combined with brilliance of tone.
I used a lot of the authentic flamenco percussion here, hand claps, cajón and dance paces, and actually have the Petenera and Bulería overlap in some parts.

So without further a due, I am happy to present to you this solo guitar piece recorded with my new flamenco negro guitar. I sincerely hope you'll enjoy it and as always appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

Photo: Adela Verne (1877-1952)was a notable English pianist and minor composer of German descent, born in Southampton. She was considered one of the greatest woman pianists of her era, ranked alongside the male keyboard giants of the time. She toured with great success in many parts of the world. She composed a variety of works, including a Military March dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother; her sister Mathilde's pupil. Adela (or Adèle) Verne was born into a musical family named Wurm. Three of her sisters (of her nine older siblings) were also notable pianists or composers: Mathilde and Alice both also adopted the surname Verne, but Mary returned to Germany, retained the family name Wurm, and enjoyed great success as a pianist and composer.
Clara Schumann heard Adela play when she was but a small girl. She was so impressed that she wanted to take her to Frankfurt for study, as she had done with Mathilde, however her parents would not permit this. Instead, she was instructed by Mathilde and Alice, and later by Clara Schumann's daughter Marie Schumann. At age 13 she made her debut in Tchaikovsky's Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor, conducted by Sir August Manns at the Crystal Palace. Tchaikovsky himself heard of this astonishing young prodigy and wanted to meet her. The following year she was introduced to Ignacy Jan Paderewski. He was so impressed with her playing that he predicted a great future for her. At his home in Morges in Switzerland, she studied Chopin with Paderewski, as well as most of his own works, including the Sonata in E-flat minor, the Polish Fantasy and the Concerto in A minor, the work with which she made her orchestral debut in New York City.

This one is a special tribute to Jamie Rhind https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind. Jamie was one the first ones to really take notice on SoundCloud, or anywhere on the web for that matter, of my playing and music. He is generous in giving all the musicians he regards highly a spot in the lime light of his many, many songs and jams. He has a vast catalogue of Jazz, Blues, Fusion, Latin, Jazz Rock, Reggae, and many more styles and there is often ample room for those willing to collaborate. 

In my personal catalogue of tunes he holds a prominent position on some of the very highlights, playing his keyboards. Such as our Trilogy Suite "On the Spanish Highway" containing one of my most played tracks "Daydreamers", featured in my spotlight section on SoundCloud. https://soundcloud.com/danarchx/daydreamers-on-the-spanish-highway-part-3-featuring-jamie-rhind

Jamie made this composition, The Journey, as a collaboration for the two of us. His original, unreleased track is an elegant Latin Jazz composition with a lively double bass part, exiting drums, the most elegant Rhodes melodies and sprinkled with a lushious string section. We will soon feature this track with some of my guitar playing added. However Jamie deserves a tribute, for we have had great times working on many song together, he has always been the greatest support... So this one is for you buddy! 

Of course I hope you'll enjoy it too and will take notice of Jamie Rhind's music on SoundCloud, iTunes and other platforms. As always I appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

Katie melua - A moment of madness

Azafrán y Limón | Saffron & Lemon
 
For my love, my valentine ...

Here is a new flamenco nuevo guitar piece I made for her in the style, or Palo in flamenco, of Alegría. The word Alegría literally means "joy", although in modern flamenco you can often hear it with a more melancholic nature. So is this one, a little tone poem of love.

It has two main themes that are played by two guitars which hint on the music of two favorites of mine, both from completely different styles of music, one is Vicente Amigo and second, more recent, a prog rock band called Soup (crazy name but some fantastic melancholic music, do check them out).

Without further ado I let the music spreak for itself. As always I really enjoy your words, likes and shares! Thanks!

Painting a vivid picture in music.
In this track I explore the link between the flamenco style or palo of Tangos and the more Argeninian Tango. Although being linked in name they are very different. A Tango flamenco is more closely linked to the rumba flamenca. Its rhythm is the same as farruca and very lively. The Argentine tango shares a common ancestor, but went its own way. However, it was fun developing the transition between styles. I do that by a dramatic interruption in a Solea por Buleria. It repeats three times with the outro slightly different from the intro and interlude. 
I play three guitar parts here, one in flamenco finger picking style, the others more like the guitar trio with an alternate picking style.

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always greatly appreciate your likes, shares and comments.

Un grand merci à Lena pour cette fabuleuse interprétation, sa voix est à mon goût une des meilleures que j'ai pu entendre .. 
"Mathieu" est le héros du film "une place au soleil" de rené VAQUIER, j'avais utilisé à l'époque "vocalise" pour obtenir la voix que l'entend sur la musique originale, mais la voix de Lena apporte des émotions supplémentaires, une couleur différente, une sorte de magie .. pour reprendre les mots de mon ami Steph OUNA, c'est comme si il y avait un instrument supplémentaire !!! 

Cette version a été faite le 14 Mars 2019 en même temps que la version soft et mise en ligne le 7 Mai 2019 en hommage à mon père, pour apaiser un peu ma peine qui ne cesse de grandir, il repose en paix depuis le 7 Mai 1992.

Mathieu (Collaboration avec Lena) Version intégrale

Hello guys, here is a little cover! Thank you for listening!
Please note that I can´t take collaboration requests, as stated in my SC profile description.
Lyrics:
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, they never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

There’s a time and place for patience 
There’s a time and place to be good

Why don’t we lose control 
Why don’t we lose ourselves
Oh fly with me til the morning light
I’ll let my hair down 
I’ll let my hair down

There’s a time and place to lose your mind
There’s the time and place for me and you

Taking it Easy Lyrics:  Irina

What can I do?

Can I count me plus you?
What do you see?
Can you count you plus me?

Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...

We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

What can I do?
What if it is me minus you?
What do you see?
Is it you minus me?

Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...

We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

Taking It Easy - Irina / Jamie Rhind

This track is the result of a collaboration with a fantastic singer and artist TygerTyger https://soundcloud.com/corvus_sky , whose voice made a splash in my mind. I am eternally grateful to her for her cooperation and excellent work on this track. In fact, this track is a logical continuation of "Desert Wind" https://soundcloud.com/coda2009/desert-wind , its Remix. TygerTyger wrote the lyrics to my music, based on Frank Herbert's novel "Dune" and sang amazingly.

Lyrics. 

A day
Turns night
Calling on...
The Dawn

They gaze
My eyes
Not for long...
The night takes hold

Away
I glide
Like there’s no...
Morning

Make way
Daylight
Turn into...
A pale moonshine

T’is then I do know
That here I can fly
On tidal waves that overflow
With visions of life
Ah....

T’is where I escape 
A place beyond time 
On spectral waves of broken light
With fragments of life
Ah....

Daybreak...
Grey Dawn
Light seeps through
The trees

Awake...
Day dawned
Light pale blue
And morning dew...

So excited to present my third collaboration with the wonderfully talented @danarchx (Dan van den Berg)!

His guitar playing and musicianship are second to none and I’m so grateful he took the time to create this gorgeous composition! 😊🎶🎤🎸

HEART ON MY SLEEVE

Won’t try too hard
Won’t try at all
Won’t try to fight 
Won’t try at all

Oh on my Sleeve
Oh on my Sleeve

Don’t have to try
It’s easy
When you’re near me
I fly...

I’ll keep wearing my Heart on my Sleeve
On my Sleeve ... On my Sleeve
Oh, on my Sleeve

Don’t have to try
It’s easy 
When you’re near me 
I fly...

When Hearts belong on Sleeves...

Ooh...
