Well, this cosmic series is pretty special Bruce... love the panning in the soundscape, the rich depth of the production and the wackiness of the different dance styles.. delightful!

Incredibly imaginative and clever composition Bruce!👍👍

Thank you very much for this wonderful composition, greetings from Spain

Delightful sounds, melodies and orchestration!

Another fantastic themed playlist Bruce. I love all three. Definitely get the sense of a graceful dance in space on this one.

Desert Song

I'm very pleased to get to work with Karl's music yet again as we have collaborated on many projects together. When I first heard 'Haust' (Icelandic for Autumn), I was haunted by the richness of the bowed sound and the grinding industrial textures that spoke to me about the extreme environment in Iceland (https://soundcloud.com/sesar/haust). I asked Karl if I could contribute and a few weeks later I'm proud to present our 8th collaboration.

What was grey becomes black, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Dawn's late, later still, 
That sinking feeling, 
As darkness falls, 
Dark falls.  

Grey to black as darkness falls.

Darkness Falls by Sesar & Mark J Bennett

Ben Juul:  Drums, Mix & Master

This song is based on the great series "The Chosen", which portrays Jesus in a very different way than usual. Here you can see why He wowed people so much! Many thanks to Paola for her incredible vocals and to Ben for friendship and musical support!

To My Children

Travel the world

I have to raise my head 
to meet your gaze
to tell you how much i'm proud
my child, my hope 

Seeing you is a feast
That s worth all the billions
the treasures of the earth
so, stay with me tonight 

I will tell you 
some fables and tales 
the most beautiful stories
at thousand miles around 

and i'll take you 
to travel the world 
without even moving 
just in few seconds 
if you stay with me tonight 

Time has betrayed me 
i measure how much i'm late
have i been a good father ? 
Well it's never too late 

doubts and regrets 
i have my cupboards full 
but you know how much i love you 
so, stay with me tonight 

And i will find 
your eraser and pencils 
at the bottom of a drawer 
your airplane models 

and i will take out 
 your songs notebooks 
your violin and my guitar 
and we'll sing them along
if you stay with me tonight 

and i'll take you 
to travel the world 
without even moving 
just in few seconds 
if you stay with me tonight

hibernating
the days grow dark
suffocating
so pull your boots on
walk out the door

frozen ridge line
and silver moon
distant tree line
the sleeping forest
is under snow

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

calculating
the solstice tide
enervating
procrastinating
walk out the door

frigid meadow
in moonlight glaze
dormant willow
is waiting naked
for your embrace

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

Michael and I will be introducing two new songs in roughly a month, and at that time the Fictive Sisters album "Immaculate Distraction" will be available on Bandcamp. We will let you know when and provide a link. Thanks always for your listening!

Cosmic Danse – Waltz of the Asteroids
February 2023
Duration: 2:50
Listen to the Cosmic Danse Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/comic-danse
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia https://soundcloud.com/john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the asteroid panning/gliss/rotation tool with doppler effect that was used to compose this piece.

Asteroids are rocky objects revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets. They are also known as planetoids or minor planets. There are millions of asteroids, ranging in size from hundreds of miles to several feet across.  Of the roughly one million known asteroids the greatest number are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the main asteroid belt.  
An Earth-crossing asteroid is an  asteroid whose path around the Sun crosses Earth’s orbit; these asteroids cross Earth’s orbit on an almost continuous basis. Astronomers have mounted searches for objects that closely approach Earth, partly to determine whether they may collide with the planet, since early detection might make it possible to avert a catastrophe. It is currently estimated that there are about 1,000 Earth-crossing asteroids larger than 1 km (0.6 mile). Asteroids in inner solar system planet-crossing orbits move back and forth among the various kinds of such orbits before eventually colliding with a planet or being ejected from the solar system. Impacts of 1-km-size asteroids are believed to occur a few times every million years. Such a collision would deliver the explosive force of several hydrogen bombs, possibly resulting in global climate disturbances or huge tidal waves. The impact of an object about 10 km (6 miles) in diameter is thought to have caused a massive extinction of species, including the dinosaurs, at the end of the Cretaceous Period (66 million years ago).
For clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, harp, metallophone, bass, virtual instruments, tubular bells, timpani and percussion.

Cosmic Danse - Waltz Of The Asteroids

I was a bike messenger. It never leaves you.

40 quarters
in your pocket
strap your helmet
grab a lane
asphalt pinball
in the morning

rocket on
marathon

trucks and taxis
coming at you 
double dance move
get away
asphalt pinball
it’s a hustle

canvass bag
cargo tags

cop in bike lane
traffic ticket
time is wasting 
run away

open car door
broken window
glass on pavement 
shitty day

chain links clicking
through Manhattan
red light running
all the way
asphalt pinball
burning muscles

it’s the same
in the rain

Asphalt Pinball

This is a song about saying goodbye while the heart still wants to hold on 🖤

Lyrics:
Only in dreams

When we kissed
beneath the twisted tree
and love changed colors
like the autumn leaves
that kept falling to the ground
without a sound…

Maybe we were
never meant to be
and all that‘s left now
is a memory.
We became a sad story,
a poem that doesn‘t rhyme.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam,
but it‘ll be okay.
It could have been
rare and pristine.
Only in dreams.

Oh, oh, Ah, Ah,
You’ve inspired me
to be nothing like you.

A back-and-forth
between the heart and brain.
don’t want to make
the same mistake again.
I‘ve asked myself, what did I do?
The problem was you!

Everywhere I go,
I see your face,
and there are thoughts of you
I can‘t erase.
You were the first one that I loved,
the first one I lost.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam, but
I’m gonna be okay.
It could have been
rare and supreme.
Only in dreams.

Oh, oh, Ah, Ah,
You’ve inspired me
to be nothing like you.

It‘s just the feelings that I miss. I keep
feeding them with memories.
But both will slowly fade
over time.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam, but
I’m gonna be okay.
It could have been
rare and supreme.
Only in dreams.

Oh, oh, Ah, Ah,
You’ve inspired me
to be nothing like you.

Only in dreams.
One stich away.
Torn at the seam, but
I’m gonna be okay.
It could have been
rare and supreme.
Only in dreams.

Only In Dreams

Here’s my latest song and arrangement with lots of piano, strings, bass, drums, guitar, synths and vocals. 
Thank you sooo much to my lovely Sander for another fine mastering job. @wane-of-summer 😊🎶🎹🎤🎼💕❤️🌷

FEELS LIKE HOME

Mill Lane is our temporary rehearsal space this year - located in the nth suburbs of Hobart its a huge warehouse that is in the process of being emptied of museum equipment. Each week the space gets bigger and more cathedral like as the crates go out the roller door. Heres a little taste from the other night.. you will need to excuse me on 2 fronts - My zoom seems to be reaching the end of its life so the recordings is pretty scratchy and 2 I reckon i am a bit out of tune... anyway the energy is good and the ears locked in to what the other musician is doing which I guess is the main thing. Happy Riffing

Kirby/Ward riffing at Mill Lane

Firstly on easy listening 6/4 bars, I cut some notes out of the main theme so as to give it dynamism, and finally obtained a prime amalgam of 17 quarter notes. I hid any recognizable thing in the accompaniment, and for the organic lines (voice and guitars) I tried the strong rhythm would not fix too much the melodies, first paying a lot of attention, and finally ... just letting me go.

Translated lyrics:

Oídos sordos (17 negras)  /  Deaf ears (17 quarter notes)

Quiero gritar todo lo que siento, estando solo;  /   I want to shout out everything I feel, being alone;
pero gritándolo al viento y si no contesta,  /  but shouting it at the wind and if it doesn’t answer,
dime, ¿de qué me sirve? (bis)  /  tell me, how does that help me? (bis)

Todos los vientos conocen mi historia  /  All the winds know my story
pero no hacen nada.  /  but they don’t do anything.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

He estado aquí y allí gritando como un loco,  /  I’ve been here and there screaming like a madman,
pero todo sigue igual.  /  but it’s all the same.
¿Será que no me oyen? (bis)  /  Perhaps they don’t hear me? (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Ahora sé que no sirve de nada;  /  Now I know it’s no use;
el viento sois todos que callais al verme,  /  all of you are the wind, silent when you see me,
y dejáis que hable y hable,  /  and letting me speak and speak,
y dejáis que hable y hable y hable.  /  and letting me speak and speak and speak.

No creo que vuelva mañana  /  I don’t think I’ll be back tomorrow
a escuchar vuestro silencio.  /  to listen to your silence.
Quiero encontrar a alguien. (bis)  /  I want to find someone. (bis)

Quiero gritar…  /  I want to shout out…

Mysterious, Magical, Music is Wonderful!

Thanks for visiting!  Please feel free to share my music.  Enjoy!

I studied music composition in the 1970's and received a degree in music composition and theory. I wrote music for many years but decided never to  make a career of it.  In 2014, I retired from business so I could devote myself to my true passion, composing music.  I am currently involved in writing music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) and collaborating with other musicians on SoundCloud.

NOTE: there is no compression added to the tracks in order to preserve the full range of dynamics. You may want to listen with headphones or increase the volume on some tracks for the best listening experience.
