this sounds like a four piece chamber orchestra to me. brilliant composition. wonderfully imagined and perfectly carried out. I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

Like this a lot .🤗.medieval groove .a lovely piece indeed ..great feel 😊 👏

minimal and very expressive, like also the chord progression very much

ahoy fair maiden my mind floweth freely thine crush so divine

I really like this juxtaposition of sounds and place-in-time.

first song I've written in a while and spent the last 2 days playing around with it on audacity, nice to be back doing what I really enjoy 💜 video here https://youtu.be/py3OPp084FY

Nature As My Friend

From Creative Spirit Online: "The seventh of Robert John Brooks’s piano sonatas; stunning, challenging works of atonal, abstract musical art. No. 7 is in three movements; intense, almost Baroque in its contrapuntal texture, with a masterful sense of cadence, and textural/dynamic/emotional contrast."

“Piano Sonata No. 7” was completed in May, 2022 in Fairview, TX.  
The work is in three movement with only a slight pause between movements. 

Performance time is about 17 3/4 minutes. 

Printed and electronic copies of this work will be available from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com

This recording was produced using the Concert D Grand Piano virtual library from Garritan Personal Orchestra 5. Mastered by eMastered.com. Click eMastered.com/profile/robtjbrooks to access the composer's library on eMastered.com

Always Together

This was a song that my friend Frederick sent me that consisted of drums and a synth that spelled out the chords. I added bass, guitar, and slide. I also mixed this version. Frederick is an excellent musician, and even finer person to work with. You should check out his page which is under the name Shukran. He was very accommodating and supportive, even when I wanted to change keys and tempo. He's a true gem, and I look forward to working with him again in the future. This was quite a stylistic departure for me, and I enjoyed the challenge. Hope it excites your ears!

LYRICS:

I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing

I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing

I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing, I did a bad thing

I think I did
As plain as day
I gotta find
A better way
It's not kosher
It's not okay
Throwing a life
Fully away
Actions define
What thoughts defy
Aiming for
A big blue sky
Looking up
Standing on ground
The mind is free
The body bound

Bad Thing

„Feine Linien“

Dies ist eine weitere Fortsetung meiner Musikreihe in loser Folge :
Anthologie „Nacht Musik“
Fragile einsame Selbstgespräche, zerbrechliche Zwiegespräche.

Die Nacht ist der Übergang in eine andere Zeitdimension.
Wir empfinden durchaus eine gewisse Entschleunigung. 
Auf unseren Nachtweg suchen wir manchmal schon nach Orientierungspunkten und sind dankbar für noch so kleine unscheinbare Wegmarkierungen. 
Es sind die feinen Linien auf Gehwegen und Straßen die uns führen. Am Tage im Alltag beachten wir diese kaum. Wir nehmen sie als völlig selbstverständlich unbewusst war.
Aber in der Nacht bekommen diese unscheinbaren Linien „Weg und Straßenmarkierungen“ eine ganz neue Bedeutung als Wegweiser durch unsere Nacht. 
Ok, manche sind breiter aber kommen mir nie protzig daher. Es sind für mich immer noch feine Linien.
Wir schenken diesen Linien plötzlich unsere Aufmerksamkeit. 
Jetzt fallen Sie uns auf und sind irgendwie doch ganz dankbar das diese Linien da sind. 

Uns allen einen sicheren Weg durch die Nacht.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Fine Lines"

This is another continuation of my music series in loose succession:
Anthology "Night Music"
Fragile lonely soliloquies, fragile dialogues.

The night is the transition to another dimension of time.
We definitely feel a certain deceleration.
On our night walk we sometimes look for landmarks and are grateful for even the smallest inconspicuous waymarks.
It's the fine lines on sidewalks and streets that guide us. During the day in everyday life we hardly notice them. We take them for granted unconsciously.
But at night, those inconspicuous lines of “path and road markings” take on a whole new meaning as signposts through our night.
Ok, some are wider but never seem pretentious to me. It's still fine lines for me.
We suddenly pay attention to these lines.
Now they catch our eye and are somehow very grateful that these lines are there.

All of us a safe way through the night.

Thank you for your valued attention.

We're late starters, hence the name.  Andy started playing and learning how to use a DAW to keep distracted during the covid lockdown, while Helen finally realised a long held ambition to have a go at singing, and is now both writing and performing.
We love the community on Soundcloud, where we can share our music with like minded souls.
