Joyeux Anniversaire. Erik Satie was born on this date May 17 in 1866.

In 1887 when he was 21, and before his famous Gymnopodies and Gnossiennes had been completed, Erik Satie composed this third Sarabande as one of three he wrote for piano. At the time he was an impoverished conservatory dropout making his living as a piano player in bohemian taverns and cabarets like Le Chat Noir. The Sarabandes were not published until 1911 with the support of Ravel who also introduced and performed the second Sarabande in concert in 1911. Here i've arranged the third Sarabande for 2 guitars doubled. Hope you enjoy the mystery and captivating harmony that attracted me to it.

Erik Satie Third Sarabande

This was unavoidable for me.  Politics aside, I think we can all agree that the mounting innocent victims of global conflict are a tragedy beyond measure.  These casualties should not be ignored as we sit in the comforts of our cushy little lives.

So far away 
It rumbles Iike a thundercloud
Eyes to the sky
Illuminated all around

Awaiting a world
to look and see
I cannot believe
what’s goin down
And what will be
I cannot conceive

The smoke in your eyes
Does not mask the tragedy…
don’t mind the flies
Images in front of me…

Temperatures rising
In the towns 
And over the fields
So many dying
And for what
I do not believe….

Moonlight and shadows
Paint the town
In shades so disarming..
the look in their eyes…
never to see the next morning 

Calling your name
In the pile of rubble under me…
I don’t here a sound
The silence is so deafening…

Awaiting a world
to look and see
I cannot believe
what’s goin down
And what will be
I cannot conceive

Missiles are raining
From the sky
It’s never ending…
mothers are wailing
like a choir
the tears they are sending

Six thousand miles 
Isn’t really far away…

Awaiting A World

Vendrá un viento del sur (Circe Maia)

Vendrá un viento del sur a golpear en las puertas cerradas y en los vidrios a golpear en los rostros de agrios gestos.

Vendrán alegres oleajes ruidosos subiendo las veredas y calles silenciosas:por el barrio del puerto.

Que se lave la cara de la ciudad endurecida
sus piedras y maderas polvorientas, raídas
su corazón sombrío.

Que por lo menos haya asombro en las opacas miradas taciturnas.

Y que muchos se asusten y los niños se rían
y el verdor de la luz del agua nos despierte
nos bañe, nos persiga.

Que nos de por correr y abrazarnos que se abran las puertas de todas las casas y salga la gente por las escaleras, desde los balcones llamándose…

Sensual guitar Melody

Thank You so much for over 1100 plays! ❤️

I needed some calming down after a stressful day. I just sat today and recorded this in 2 hours. While playing, I remembered Barry, the little hero of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", playing the glockenspiel... I invite You and Your inner child on a journey between the stars.

Humanity as a child of the Universe. First, it discover the "music" of the Universe within itself, it try to "play" it as best as it can, not being aware of the existence of the universe. Then it begins to "hear", notice the music of the Cosmos, get to know it. It is doing it better and better, but still, like a child, it "plays" clumsily, sometimes too loudly, sometimes harmoniously. Will it harmonize with it or will it disappear?

I hope you like this track at least a little bit. I made it thanks to four, free,  wonderful Fracture Sounds @fracture-sounds instruments from the Blueprint series: Gentle Brass, Gentle Strings, Textural Violin and main hero - Greenhead Chimes.

Floating Between the Stars

summer sunlight on the ground
i still see you fallen down

it happens every day (to the chosen) baby
the wounded find a way hey

every heartache, every fear
just a mistake brought us here

you have the secret knack (deep inside you) darling
the one that brings us back jack

into the weeds we’re going
spinning ‘round
but we’ll be back i know it
watch us now

hey honey don’t you know (don’t you know it) by now
you’ll never be alone, no

we’re grateful for today (we accept it) cherie
there is no other way hey

It Happens Every Day

(apologies for not being on Soundcloud much these days... I plan to get back to replies & checking out as much new music out there as I can soon!)


This is a stripped down version of a song written by J.J. that the Eclectic Collective gang made a few months ago. A few differences include no drum or bass, no sax solo, no slide guitar intro, an alternate guitar take, and alternate vocal performance by J.J. A sign of a great song is how it still sounds great even with just a simple instrument arrangement, and JJ's original song is a good example! 
Thank you for listening   :)

here's a link to the original version (which includes the rest of the EC gang):

Perfect for emotional storytelling, cinematic moments, or creating a tranquil atmosphere.

MISSING BELLE

I'm primarily a guitar player but I'll try to make music with anything you throw at me. When left to my own devices I enjoy recording minimalist ambient pieces and textural soundscapes. My principal sound source for these efforts is manipulated guitar but I often include electronics and organic sources. I enjoy working on collaborations with other musicians. Please contact me if you are interested.
