New piano music for reflective moments
New piano music has something what designer would call "sensual clarity". It has  stimulating contrasts – emotion and intelligence, stunning proportions – balance between strength and harmony, freedom & geometry.

Sometimes a lost suitcase has a more interesting journey than the traveler. I remember flying domestically in Spain and my suitcase going on an extended  journey. It was only found because I remembered my flight from Madrid to Barcelona actually continued to Cairo. After a few missteps I convinced the airline to search at Cairo International and it all ended well, but only one day before I had to leave for home. This track could easily be modified if anybody wants to divert the suitcase to a different pair of countries. Just let me know and I'll send the stems.

I hope to someday finish animation I started years ago of flamingos in the rain dancing to this song.

Synth harp, guitars, clarinet, cellos, and bass set to hit hop, conga, and bongo beats at a tango’s pace of 70 bpm. Rain audio recorded live in December 2023.

I wrote an extended version of this track more than a decade ago during a time I was experiencing intense physical pain. As I fled inwardly into creativity to escape, this music narrated the discovery of a quiet harbor from pain.

Later I became amused watching a wildlife documentary of flamingos and their mating dance. As they marched together in step, abruptly turning their heads and beaks known as head flagging to an unknown beat accentuating their synchronized rhythm, I imagined flamingos dancing the tango. Initially I had ambitions to create an animated short with Tango In The Rain as the soundtrack. With time constraints, I leaned more toward the immediacy of digital music-making than animation and discovered pain relief in the process. And as a fan of old movies, this tune evolved into my fantasy score for a different Singin' in the Rain type of musical of animated dancing flamingos.

I hope the music takes you to your own safe harbor, hopefully a place of grace, comfort, and peace. My best wishes to you.

Painting: Frida Kahlo, Four Inhabitants of Mexico (cropped).  Frida pictures herself at 4, with a Judas, a pre-Columbian symbol from Nayarit, and a skeleton.
Music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) who will be performing Frida's Wings, a ballet based on the life and works of Frida Kahlo, June 2024 in Colorado.
This piece will also be included in the upcoming “Art Expressed in Music” series.
Thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for creating the “rattling bones” sound library
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”

Art Expressed in Music – Hokusai's Immortality

Painting: The Inume Pass in Kai Province from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji 
Katsushika Hokusa.(1760 –1849), known simply as Hokusai, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, active as a painter and printmaker. He is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes the iconic print The Great Wave of Kanagawa,  In addition to his woodblock ukiyo-e prints, Hokusai worked in a variety of mediums including painting and book illustration. Starting as a young child, he continued working and improving his style until his death, at 88. In a long and successful career, Hokusai produced over 30,000 paintings, sketches, woodblock prints, and images for picture books in total. Innovative in his compositions and exceptional in his drawing technique, Hokusai is considered one of the greatest masters in the history of art.  At the age of seventy-five Hokusai defiantly referred to himself as ‘the old man mad about painting” as he railed against his mortality by declaring that he would live past 100 years and in so doing, achieve artistic immortality. “From the age of six I had a penchant for copying the forms of things, and from about fifty, my pictures were frequently published; but until the age of seventy, nothing that I drew was worthy of notice. At seventy-three years, I was somewhat able to fathom the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects, and fish. Thus when I reach eighty years, I hope to have made increasing progress, and at ninety to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at one hundred years I will have achieved a divine state in my art, and at one hundred and ten, every dot and every stroke will be as though alive.” Told by Gakyo Rojin Manji (Old Man Mad About Painting).

Painting: Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Wedding Dance
Drollery: something whimsically amusing or funny; an oddly amusing story or jest.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525 – 1569) was one of the most significant Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painters known for his paintings and prints of landscapes and peasant scenes. He was one of the first generation of artists to grow up when religious subjects had ceased to be the dominant subject matter of painting. Bruegel was free to express the feelings and emotions of the day and his insight into human life.  The Wedding Dance reflects a degree of ambiguity. It can both be seen as a commentary on the revelers’ oversexed behavior or as an entertaining and comical composition.  In the sixteenth century, dance was subject to a strict code and regarded by the authorities and church as a social evil. In polite society, people could not swing their arms or legs or laugh too loudly.  The painting expresses the rural liberation from the stricter limits on the urban classes and the times’ expected social standards.  All of Bruegel's paintings come from a period of little more than a decade before his early death, when he was probably in his early forties, and at the height of his powers. 
For violin, viola, clarinet, flute, english horn, heckelphone, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, sound effects and percussion.

Painting: The Starry Night (cropped)
Vincent Willem van Gogh (March 30, 1853 – July 29, 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created approximately 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life.  Only one of his paintings was known by name to have been sold during his lifetime.  In the aftermath of the December 23rd, 1888 breakdown that resulted in the self-mutilation of his left ear, Van Gogh voluntarily admitted himself to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole lunatic asylum on May 8th, 1889.  During the year Van Gogh stayed at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the prolific output of paintings he had begun in Arles continued.  During this period, he produced some of the best-known works of his career, including the “The Starry Night”.  Van Gogh had the subject of a blue night sky dotted with yellow stars in mind for many months before he painted the picture.  Some of the elements, such as the mountains in the distance and the existence of the village are true to the view van Gogh would have seen from his window; meanwhile, many other parts, such as the church, are imagined.  Van Gogh wrote to Theo: "It would be so simple and would account so much for the terrible things in life, which now amaze and wound us so, if life had yet another hemisphere, invisible it is true, but where one lands when one dies." "Hope is in the stars," he wrote, but he was quick to point out that "earth is a planet too, and consequently a star, or celestial orb." He stated flatly that “The Starry Night” was "not a return to the romantic or to religious ideas."  On July 27th, 1890, aged 37, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest.  The shooting may have taken place in the wheat field in which he had been painting, or in a local barn.

Nose in the showcase 
clouding the fate 
 Counting the days,  
it was a long wait  
Sand in the shoes
 There was … no pain.

 Kicking the stones  
To not return home  
Waiting the train  
Just To smash the coin  
Bleeding knees  
All was … a glee

 Those were the days,  
Those were the nights

 Roll the dice 
 Playing Risk 
 Who’s turn is it.
So purify 
 Wonder dreams
 Like a gleam

 Pride in the pinball 
Watch for the thug 
 Moove the machine  
Control the tilt 
 Look for the way  
The green light… is on  

 Those were the days ,  
Those were the nights

 Roll the dice  
Playing Risk  
Who’s turn is it.
So purify 
 Wonder dreams  
Like a gleam 

 For all was the first time.
 First kiss, first broken heart  
The future didn’t exist 
But time run, run fast.

Painting: Water Lillies, 1906
Evanescence: the quality of being fleeting or vanishing quickly, impermanence.
Oscar-Claude Monet (November 14th, 1840 – December 5th, 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of impressionism's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to outdoor landscape painting.  In 1899, he began painting the water lilies that would occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.  At his home in Giverny, Monet created the water-lily pond that served as inspiration for his water lilly paintings. Depictions of the water lilies, with alternating light and mirror-like reflections, became an integral part of his work.  By the mid-1910s Monet had achieved "a completely new, fluid, and somewhat audacious style of painting in which the water-lily pond became the point of departure for an almost abstract art.  He would ultimately make over 250 paintings of the Waterlilies.  In 1911, Monet began to develop the first signs of possible cataracts.  In the following years, his perception of color suffered; his broad strokes were broader and his paintings were increasingly darker.  He eventually underwent cataract surgery in 1923.  Now "able to see the real colors", he began to destroy canvases from his pre-operative period.  Upon receiving tinted Zeiss lenses, Monet was pleased with the results, although his left eye soon had to be entirely covered by a black lens. By 1925, his visual impairment was improved and he began to retouch some of his pre-operative works, with bluer water lilies than before.  Monet died of lung cancer on December 5th 1926 at the age of 86.  Although critical acclaim was slow in coming, Monet attracted the dedicated support of collectors throughout his career, most notably from Americans who discovered his work in the 1880s.  Monet's popularity soared in the second half of the 20th century, when his works traveled the world in museum exhibitions that attracted record-breaking crowds and marketed popular commercial items featuring imagery from his art.

DUCKS IN A ROW  (Lyrics) song for David

Where did this crazy cover come from?!
Until a couple of years ago I played in a group of friends, an acoustic quartet consisting of an acoustic guitar, double bass (me), a singer and a percussionist. We played a repertoire of rock and pop covers from all times, heavily rearranged to suit acoustic needs. In addition to rehearsals and concerts, a significant part of the time was spent proposing and choosing the repertoire.
There were always great discussions, everyone had their own musical background, their tastes and their desire to impose themselves on others (behind every musician there is always a little egomaniac hiding :)). Furthermore, since it was all acoustic, there were also inevitable technical limitations to consider when choosing the songs. In short, every proposal was always followed by great debates, to the point that we had to establish severe rules in the choice with votes, with the right of veto, like United Nations resolutions :))
There was a moment when we needed to enrich the repertoire with more lively and rhythmic songs, because the natural tendency in small acoustic cover groups is always to rearrange the songs with an elegant, composed (and a little soporific) sound like Bossa or soft jazz.
Among the various proposals I made there was this 80's pop-dance hit that I have always liked and to be more convincing and overcome their skepticism that time I decided to present my candidacy with a demo recorded by myself... So, courageously I even had to sing it!!
What you listen is therefore that original demo for my group: an acoustic guitar, a double bass, a voice to which I have recently added some choirs.
Fortunately, at the end, the effort was rewarded, this bizarre cover won the elections and became a permanent fixture in our concerts.

I know, I skipped some words here and there, my pronunciation is what it is, and I guess it sounds funny to you more or less like to us Italians when we listen to one of our operas sung by a foreign singer... but who cares, it was so fun to sing it, forgive me! :)

Lyrics:

So much to catch up on
Some of it never gets done
Time is too short, passes to quickly
suddenly the day is gone

It will be fine, it will be okey
Just speak up
And the help is on the way

People fussing, children shouting
so much noise all around
High demands coming from all sides
No peace to be found

It will be fine, it will be okey
Just speak up, and the help is on the way

Life is short, use it well
there is so much to gain
By slowing down, take a break
Time will pass anyway

It will be fine, it will be okey
Just speak up, and the help is on the way

It Will Be Fine W/ Janne Hennie

Change is overdue!
Full lyrics

I'm tired of being down all the time i wish that you would lift me up
I'm tired of being tired all the time to face the truth would be way too much
I think of all the things you did to me and all the pain i felt in your touch
I think of all things you said, woman they add up - you said way too much
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way 
I'm tired of being wrong all the time when half the time i know i'm right
I struggle with my insecurities and let you win each and every time
I used to be a stronger man i seemed to lose my confidence somwhere along the line
i need to find my balls again before the absolute gets swept behind
Change is coming you could smell it in the air
Don't know who you think you are but pretty girl you better think again
A storm is coming down the road - you better say what you got to say 
because your words are growing old the absolute is on its way

One more time!

Bossa para Uma Menina Triste

Bossa Para Uma Menina Triste

Godiamoci la vita finché siamo giovani, diceva un noto inno goliardico.
In proposito, credo che l'amore renda giovani in ogni tempo, e, quando l'età è cambiata, aiuti comunque a vivere con ritrovata giovinezza.
E mi piace anche pensare che se c'è l'amore la notte è lontana. 

------ 

La notte è lontana 

Se l'amore è una luce 
Alla fine della notte
È il sapore di un fiore 
Il calore di un sole 

Se l'amore è una nota 
Che può far rumore 
Musica che suona libera 

Baciami 
Dimentica tutto 
Quello che non va 
La notte è lontana
Ma presto o tardi arriverà 

Se l'amore in un sogno
Ha un corpo di donna
Che mi ruba il pudore
Per farmi volare 

E somiglia una nota
Anche se fa rumore
Musica che suona libera 

Baciami 
Dimentica tutto
Quello che non va 
La notte è lontana
Ma presto o tardi arriverà

Cast of characters:

RIch O'Brien-- @rich-obrien -- composition, intro guitar solo

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– third guitar solo  

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell -- Clave and organ

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, production, and mix

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–final guitar solo

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four-string fretless bass and second guitar solo

This song started as a full composition on all instruments by Rich. He asked Josh if he'd be interested in a collaboration with it. Josh jumped at the chance to share it with the Eclectic Collective. So, he invited the gang to join in, replacing most of the original instrumentation, and adding some new. 
     After Ken had added his driving, foundational drums, Josh added his bass to match. JJ soon after cranked up the funk-o-meter by adding his clave and screaming organ. Then, Josh added a guitar solo, which comes in right after Rich's intro. Stephen was up next with his badass licks in the third solo. Then Tez got a hold of it, and ripped a hole in the ether with his guitar in the last solo.
  Ken was generous enough to produce and mix this for us. And what an outstanding job he did, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Art Expressed in Music – Goya's Visions

Listen to the Playlist: soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/art-expressed-in-music-i
Remix of Córdoba, by Isaac Albéniz, with original composition.
Painting: section of the Pilgrimage to the Fountain of San Isidro (completed 1821 – 1823), painted on the plaster walls of Goya's house and later transferred to canvas.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (March 30th, 1746 – April 16th, 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker  He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.  His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th and 20th century painters. Goya became a court painter to the Spanish Crown in 1786 and this early portion of his career is marked by portraits of the Spanish aristocracy and royalty.  Although Goya's letters and writings survive, little is known about his thoughts. He had a severe and undiagnosed illness in 1793 that left him deaf, after which his work became progressively darker and pessimistic. His later easel and mural paintings, prints and drawings appear to reflect a bleak outlook on personal, social and political levels.  In 1807, Napoleon led the French army into the Peninsular War against Spain. Goya remained in Madrid during the war, which seems to have affected him deeply. Although he did not speak his thoughts in public, his feelings can be inferred from his “Disasters of War' series of prints.  Other works from his mid-period include the “Caprichos and Los Disparates” etching series, and a wide variety of paintings concerned with insanity, mental asylums, witches, and religious and political corruption.  His late period culminates with the “Black Paintings” of 1819–1823, applied on oil on the plaster walls of his house, the Quinta del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man) where, disillusioned by political and social developments in Spain, he lived in near isolation. Goya eventually abandoned Spain in 1824 to retire to the French city of Bordeaux. Following a stroke that left him paralyzed on his right side, Goya died and was buried on April 16th, 1828 at the age of 82.

EXPLORERS

================================

Hi everyone.

After three weeks sick, he seems to be starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (That's what we say in Spain...).

My precious kidney stones have prevented me from focusing on songwriting and my commitments to some friends here, and will continue to do so for a while...

But my spirit regains energy and that's why I leave you here a composition from almost 8 years ago that I don't remember having published before.

It is one of the most complex electronic parts ever made.

It's true that I remastered it a few years later in my second mixing studio......yes, in my second car with BT.

I hope you like it, while I hope to expel two of my beloved stones from the four I have had since the last month.

Greetings.

Paco. ; )

Explorers

I’m not the kind of guy who wants to settle down.
I’m not the kind of guy who wants to stick around.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I’m trying not to let you carry out your plan.
To turn me into a domesticated man
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I was just another fish swimming in the sea.
The you reeled me in an made a meal of me.
I was a like dog with no home who was running wild all alone
I was living my life wild and free and like animal control you came and captured me.
Now you’ve got you in your shelter and you’re taking good care of me. 
Your passion makes me swelter but sometimes I wanna be free. 

I’ll be your private Casanova tonight.
I’ll do and say all the things that will make you feel just right.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I’ll run and I’ll run, and I’ll run straight back to you.  I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run.

Lyrics: Innovative and Creative

Chorus
Innovative and creative like day and night 
this be the one and two let’s  keep it tight 
not what they want it’s what I like 
and I do it like this cause it just feels right

Take my advice skillzzz so nice 
I’m at another level let me break you off a slice 
it’s all in the mix like lava and ice 
so hot so cold you’ve gotta think twice 

one critical decision complete the mission
Waves of ambition that’s precognition 
one focus one thought against an ocean of competition
Ain’t no playing—-class act no shame
The production—the man—the name
True to form that’s my only mind frame 
Rekindle the fire the passion the flame 
that’s the only reason that I came 
IPG1 changing the game

Haven’t you heard of me yet IPG1 in effect 
let’s be direct I’ll just leave you out of breath 
screw it if I get to real what did you expect 
the living legend an outlaw a danger a threat 
acknowledge the name—-acknowledged the game 
acknowledge the pieces ain’t the same
Just remember what I’m saying as I penetrate your brain 
stay out of my lane —to the haters fear my name
just here to entertain so much style I’m off the chain 
Now let me dull your pain like a bottle of champagne 
take a taste drink it down slow sip it like it’s Moët 
skills of a poet know it when I show it

Chorus

But Check it are you listening better keep it interesting 
While they’re repositioning ice flow into my veins 
I’m cool like air conditioning
Devastating dominating terror in the streets 
demolishing the beat with style and technique 
most wanted reward posted speech advanced weaponry 
yeah I’m Killin on the mic like it’s a felony 
proceed with caution when I’m flowing dangerously 
unorthodox styles no conformity 
unforgiven lyrics soaring high fidelity 
no fame no glory who else can it be 
It’s IPG1 and that’s the whole story—-that’s right it’s just me

Chorus

Make a difference I am the difference 
the appeal so deep they still reference me to defined the word heat 
shock wave as I penetrate the sternum 
the vibe from the rap so hot it’s going to burn em 
My haters losing hope my shits flat out dope
This be the real thing have yourself another Coke 
nope no excuses —-prayer with the pope 
precision on the mic like it’s got laser scope
Game on aim on target stop never 
not till the tracks lit solid and legit 
got them running scared I know they done had it 
Drop the Mic threw in the towel—-cold quit—-cold quit

acknowledge the name—-acknowledged the game 
acknowledge the pieces ain’t the same
Just remember what I’m saying as I penetrate your brain 
stay out of my lane—-to the haters fear my name 
just here to entertain so much style I’m off the chain 
Now let me dull your pain like a bottle of champagne 
take a taste drink it down slow sip it like it’s Moët 
skills of a poet know it when I show it

Recorded in one take - 'Lost Dream' is a sublime and super chilled solo piano track from Andrew James Johnson. Recorded at Tileyeard Studios on a vintage Steinway upright piano with the full felt treatment, the sonorous sound world is perfect for delicate voicing of the composer. Andrew writes with emotion at the heart of his music, with subtle shifts in texture and tempo to keep the listener engaged and drawn into his mellifluous sound world...

Lost Dream

The first piano interlude from the musical revue The Yellow Cake Revue  "Farewell to Stromness", has become one of Davies' most popular pieces, and has been arranged for various instruments. (1980)
