What a powerful start! Lovely piece Brian!

Home Run!  Delightful, Joyful and Soulful

Love the consistent rhytmic drive throughout the piece and the very free improvisations over it.

Every time I listen to this track I can't help but to think of the theme of "Succession", the tele series.  You've heard it?

Beautiful playing and compo <<<<<<3, fine prod too : )

Ese Amor No Te Conviene

Written and recorded close to the Avon in Stratford upon Avon, Nov 2022
Rick's drums added via the internet from just north of Finham Sewer in Dec 2022 ;-))

Guitars upon Avon

I funky groovy tribute to the old Woodstock vibe, the artists and their groovy music. 
Real artists that played an instrument and made history... a long time ago...

"That day of mud and tents
Strings played a groove intense
No pads, samples, no fortune won
The kiss, the dream, the love
The funky way, a long time gone"

みなみかぜ
みな　なぎたおせ
みな　こわせ

みなみかぜ
ただ　まわるだけ
かざみどり
かぜよ　しずまれ
なきひとの　こえ
われに

Blow, O south wind.
Knock down everything.
Destroy them all.

South wind blows.
The weathercock just spins.
Be still, wind.
Let me hear the voice of the dead.

"Touch 'Em All Kirby" (Piano Improv)

Method: Testing out the infinty pedal by tc electronics on a poetry soundscape.
Narration: There are many stories of liberation, representing a variety of moods and inner postures. This is another one.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

clad in rain
she walked to the airstrip
take me somewhere
she muttered under her breath

she woke up
still carried by air
this plane sarcophagus
protective shell, unaware

next to a henge
she has afternoon tea
with a sparrow, some deer
and a pastoralist poet

which knee made you stumble
a fly shyly asks her
don't confuse me, she
retorts, I hadn't been born yet

spun in light rays
she welcomes the day
she'll weave a blue scarf
to hide away horus eye

emerging

Here's an acoustic guitar solo I threw together; I didn't record to a click so I'm probably way off time in some parts.

The Spaniard

01.2023. I just loved that piano-sample and the idea of override as an element of releasing feelings. Its not a fault, its a way. Maybe I've listened to too much short wave or long wave overseas radio in the 80s and 90s but overdrive is still an element that has to be in music)
So enjoy the music.

go (where you want to go)

„Nachtschicht“ (14.01.2023 )

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

Der Weg in die Nacht und durch die Nacht mit all seinen Facetten.
Die Straßenlampen und deren mal grelles mal warmes Licht versetzen uns je nach den Wetterverhältnisse eher in eine andere dimensionale Stimmung.

Manche Menschen müssen in die Nacht hinaus. Viele haben einen nächtlichen Arbeitsweg.
Sie scheinen diesen zu kennen und sind in Gedanken versunken fast schlafwandeln auf ihren nächtlichen Weg. 

Und die, die nicht zur Ruhe kommen und in der Nacht umher wandern.
Jeder ist auf seine Art auf seinem Weg durch die Nacht.

Könnte auch ein Boulevard der Dämmerung sein in dem sich viele in ihren nächtlichen Träumen verlieren.

So begeben sich viele Menschen in ihre ganz eigene Nachtschicht.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Night Shift" (01/14/2023)

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

The way into the night and through the night with all its facets.
The street lamps and their sometimes glaring sometimes warm light put us in a different dimensional mood depending on the weather conditions.

Some people have to go out into the night. Many have a night commute.
They seem to know this and are deep in thought, almost sleepwalking on their nocturnal journey.

And those who don't get any rest and wander around at night.
Everyone is on their way through the night in their own way.

Could also be a twilight boulevard where many lose themselves in their nightly dreams.

So many people go into their very own night shift.


Thank you for your valued attention.

The feeling of finding out we are not alone in the universe.

Synesthesia

"Route 66" by James Lawrence Nesser

There are hundreds of covers of this classic, written by Bobby Troup in 1946 and first recorded by Nat King Cole that same year.  Here is one more, a version that is influenced by a number of different artists, but mainly by The Rolling Stones on their self-titled 1964 album.

Fender Tele
Epiphone Casino
Epiphone Viola Bass
Addictive Drums 2

Route 66

"Route 66"

Re-uploaded with new remix. This electro-ambient track is based on an old piano melody of mine, totally reworked playing ambient synth sounds generated thru an arpeggiator. Reminiscent of early Enya, it’s supposed to represent the 4 elements, and is probably one of my more favourite earlier creations. One of those tracks best played loud with headphones.

Here are some other tunes of mine that use the same original piano melody, but each one sounds very different:
