Superb contrapuntal ability keeping the parts cohesive. It could easily descend into cacophony.

Disorderly constructive   Wildly disheveled! Great work!!!

TIME FOR A LOVE SOLSTICE TO BE BORN

My old mac  dieth a death so here's a bit of a kitchen table bash around .   My fingers are not what they were so i play what i can find.  someday I'll probably wind up bashing out a beat with my head on the refrigerator and singing along. I hope you are all well. If you're dead you'll obviously know it's nothing to worry about...                                I woke up this morning or at least I think that I did...I found my medication and I wrestled with the lid....my bathroom mirror is telling me that I'm not half the man I used to be.....

. I've got a hole in my gut I'm really feeling my age, I'm paying the price for my wicked little ways, I was out last night with a woman from the moon, she says that better days are coming and they're coming soon but I ain't half the man I used to be.

Half the Man. ( Stevek )

I updated this this track with few tweaks and a new mix and master... and a rename too.

Harvest Dance

Harvest Dance (aka better days ahead)

Music: Jan Schonander

Another Friday night sitting as it were, but this time developed over a little time. I played this for my wife and she said it made her think of blue fireflies in the night and hence the image. Took a while to find the first Fm/C/C7 progression then I just carried on from there. Although I thought about adding complexity in the end I decided that less was more in this case. 

The piano piece itself is not very difficult to play, but as I do not own a Steinway Grand the challenge was finding a digital instrument that did the trick in terms of tone. I started out with my Korg SV-1, even changed the keyboard bed but there was something about the sharpness of the high keys (always been an issue on the Korg) that just didn’t sound right. I then tried the Ravenskraft VST, highly recommended in reviews, and found that the overall sound was too dull for my liking.  After years of thinking (not about this piece) this prompted me to finally bring a Nord Stage 3 home. Initially I was disappointed in the piano engine but after a while I learned to set it up to my liking as well as got used to the feel of a different keyboard. This particular piano is the fully mapped Royal Grand 3D with a little bit of reverb and the bass turned down a smidgen. The violin is also a native Nord sample with some delay.

It also turns out that bouncing a pure unprocessed piano track from Logic Pro X sounds a lot better than trying to improve it with the various algorithms in Izotope Ozone.

This is a single take piano performance without any edits.

Born To Be Blue By Sucole & 6qsax

Summer Solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere occurred on Tuesday, June 21, at 2:14 AM Pacific Standard Time here in the United States where I reside.

Creating a ceremony or celebration is a way for humans to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.

The Solstice signifies the time when the Earth is at the fullness of her strength, fertility, and abundance, so we too can celebrate our strength in joining together, pollinating our spiritual consciousness through sharing, and offering gratitude for the abundance that which we experience daily.

Speak For Love (Brian Peters)

Little Lady stepped out into the world
Little Lady was still mama’s little girl
One baby later, she was still twenty-five
Her marriage on the rocks but she was glad to be alive

And love is blinded in innocence
And love is calling out for defence

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

Little Man went walking in his daddy’s boots
Little Man was just following his roots
Wild dreams and schemes on the stock exchanges
Wild oats and loneliness among total strangers

And love is crying out to be heard
And love is holding out the living word

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about the third world debt
Some talk about a nuclear threat
Some talk about inner city crime
Some talk about intelligent design
Some talk about corporate greed
Some talk about terminator seeds
Some talk about the ascetic life
Some talk about simeon stylites**

And love is knocking at the door
And love is undergirding every law

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about global warming
Some talk about turbine farming
Some talk about genetic cloning
Some talk about the lunar landings
Some talk about ghetto thugs
Some talk about the superbug
Some talk about democracy
Some talk about conspiracy

Some talk about the world trade towers
Some talk about a one world power
Some talk about save the whales
Some talk about fairytales
Some talk about visual highlights
Some talk about navigation satellites**
…(to fade)

Speak For Love

"The Confused Waltz" For Violin And Piano Mvt 3

'The Path To The Secret Doorway (Feat. Georg Boehme)' This has been a tremendous musical journey with Georg. And for me, a very special one. Georg's wind arrangements are nothing less than sublime and it's just been an honour for me, sharing this journey with him.
The "Path" is the music and behind the "Secret Doorway" .....well that's the secret, isn't it?
I hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to hearing any thoughts you may have after listening to it, should you have the time or inclination to leave them in the comments.

The Path To the Secret Doorway

The Path To The Secret Doorway (Feat. Georg Boehme)

Ventotene, a small island in the Mediterranean. Under a breathtaking starry sky, waiting for the dawn.
Thanks to @RosinDust for her gorgeous violins. I am always grateful for her willingness and enthusiasm.
In the last period I worked a lot on things written some time ago, so I had not composed anything new for a few months and, as always happens in these cases, I was a little afraid of having run out of creative vein. That's why, with this new piece, I'm happy and ready for the next time when I'm definitely going to ask myself, once again, "oh my god, is this over?" :)

Here the other collaborations with Tatiana:

It's almost dawn - with Rosin Dust

this is a song off an ep i put out a while back that was recorded on an old 4 track tape recorder which i thought had a nice ragged sound................thanks for having a listen

Miles Away

A different version of a piece already released a couple of years ago. This is its first original arrangement.
In order of appearance and italianness: RosinDust on violin, Georg on clarinet and Boehme on flaute.
Yes because, incredibly, by dint of collaborating, Tatiana now speaks Italian, and even Georg understands it a little bit. Boehme instead firmly refuses. So far... :) Thanks, friends, you are fabulous, as always!

Here the splendid compositions of Georg Boheme: @georg-boehme

The sunbaker - with RosinDust and G.Boehme

The presents are opened and the children are playing with boundless energy.  This is the image I wanted to capture with the solo Requinto guitar.  I thought about putting an adult in the room (bigger guitar) but decided no, let the children play:) There is also a wee little story line; there is playing and playing, trying out a different toy, playing some more, then the fatigue sets in and they start to wind down for a nap only to dream of playing some more...

Allegro Sonata; Dance Of Eagles

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Si tú me faltaras (de tedio moriría)
