Don’t look down
Bruce Conover composed and performed original music.
Phil McWalter was invited in for lyrics and vocal and final sweetening.

You can see all you want from here
Don’t look down
It’s just your feet and a can of fear
And if you fall...
The water’s warmer on the far side of the bay

Don’t slow up
The world will never let you get off
Don’t slow up
Its just a spin on a fairground ride
And if you do...
The circus moves on to another little town

[Spoken]: “Run, rabbit run. Just keep on running, you don't have time to look back and see if everyone else is coming…”

Don't look down
[Trumpet cadenza]
Don’t cry out
Do you think you’ll just disappear?
And when you cry
The lights are going to shine so brightly on your face

Don’t look down
You can see all you need from right here
Don't slow up
They won't let you hide away for a day...

Don't look down
You can see all you want to here
And if you do
The world will never let you get away again

Don’t look down
Don't look down
You can see all you need from right here
Don’t slow up
They won’t let you hide away for a day
Don’t look down
Don’t slow up
Don’t cry out

The Lagniappe Recorder
Lagniappe is a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase (such as a 13th doughnut when buying a dozen), or more broadly, "something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure."
Or as I say "a little something special".

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  Work on my violin sonata is proceeding well.  My new symphony, "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra," is posted and waiting for you.  rjb

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.

My focus is on songs, on composition, not on style or genre. The songs  usually have lots of space for improvisation. 

I use a simple little application called "Guitar Pro", not really fit for producing, but a dream come true for rough little sketches like these...

Hope you like what you hear!
Cheers!
Rob

My music is very instinctive. I like all kinds 
of music even if I attend most assiduously 
 Pop, Classical and Jazz.
I compose mostly with the piano but 
I'm experimenting  with the composition
 with acoustic guitar. I enjoy playing Sax 
and Trumpet (keys) in my tracks and in 
collaboration with other soundclouders.
I write and sing in Italian lyric and I am
 improving my singing in English. I hope
 my passion for music can give
 you some nice feeling.
