really a song for the song lovers, excellent  composition and performance !

Nice ;))))))))) Well done my dear Bruce ;))))

hahahaahha. this is nuts. but in the best way!! i grew up with my aunts dogs (she had two ). i must say, that i am more the cat type, but im dreaming, when im retired, that my fiance and myself will have a dog ! cool idea to blend those dog sounds to this track!

Got some "techno trousers" from wallace and gromit vibes at the beginning there, very cool quirky track mat e:)

What a charming and enchanting piece of music, Bruce! Absolutely lovely work, such a delight to listen to it!

KleinFolk - Metamorphosis

I'm a huge fan of a lot of movie and television scores for a lot of the content from the 50s and 60s, and have been especially influenced by Bernard Herrmann's work with Hitchcock as well as material like this. Here's my interpretation of Mr. Herrmann's piece for a Twilight Zone episode in 1959. 

Instruments in order of their appearance: Atmospherics, Trombone, Vibes, Ondes Martenot, Trumpet, Piano, Glockenspiel, Harp, Synth, and Organ.

Music © 1959 by Bernard Herrmann

I always love it when my good friend and bandmate Pat Howell sends me his latest mandolin musing, this time with his Octave.  His musing becomes my "muse" and the ideas start to flow, this time using two mandolins and two guitars.  Just in time for Fall, and maybe my favorite season, a refreshing breeze from the Texas Highlands.  Hear more fine music on Pat's Cloud @patrick-howell-786748109

I tried to create a Celtic and Latin fusion here! Hope someone enjoys. Mastered fabulously again by my lovely and talented bf Sander! 😊🎶❤️💕🎼🎧🎤🎵🎹

CROISIÈRE (Lyrics)

With his fat belly hanging over his belt
He's a lot of fun
He's got flexi jeans and a leather belt
He's the number one
Comb that thining hair 
he's got so much flair
Macho debonair

So take that bunting down
There's no one in town
And I know there's no-one cheering
You called everyone
But no-one's come
They must be hard of hearing

Pack up your dreams and put them away
There's no heaven at the end of this stairway
You never launched that ship on your slipway
You were always waiting for someday

Waiting For Someday

For woodwinds, woodsticks, marimba, xylophone, dog recordings and percussion

A special tribute to all our furry friends who make our lives so wonderful! 
Here is a bio of each dog, based on the cover art, starting in the upper left corner, in clockwise order:

Ellie is our five year old shihpoo, who is an eight pound bundle of fluff and love.  She likes playing with her ball and her red hedgehog, as well as taking long walks/hikes, especially when it's not too hot and she knows she can "swim" in a stream. Ellie is quite the vocalist, especially when she's excited about something, or feels the need to inform us of impending danger. 

Callahan or Cal, our granddog, is a nine month old, very spirited Bernese Mountain Dog.  He loves sticks, and his toys, and it's very interesting watching him try to figure out the world such as when he decided to bark incessantly at the grill, or when he came to our house the first time and didn't want to come in the door.

Lucky, the one-eyed dachshund, belonging to our friends, was the life of the party and happily partook of anything appetizing within his reach, including a friend's rum and coke!  Lucky hated it when his pawrents (or us when they were out of town) would leave, and would howl mournfully and incessantly when left home alone in his kennel.

Angel, our dear, sweet, shihpoo passed the Rainbow Bridge 3 years ago.  In spite of having numerous health ailments, including diabetes that resulted in cataracts that had to be removed to restore her sight, as well as twice daily insulin shots, she maintained her wonderful disposition and love of taking long walks for her entire 16-plus years with us.

Jax, our pug who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last November, was one of the nicest dogs, but had a few odd habits.  Jax enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors, where he would sit staring at the sky for hours looking for airplanes, then madly "chasing" and barking at them when they appeared. The only thing Jax didn't like was the mailboxes; he would bark like crazy every time we drove over to get the mail.

The Grand Spiral Galaxy

Listen to the Cosmic Soundscapes Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/cosmic-soundscapes
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for the tinkling star bells
This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope released May 30, 2022 features the Grand Design Spiral, NGC 3631, located approximately 53 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major. The “arms” of grand design spirals appear to wind around and into the galaxy’s nucleus.  A grand design galaxy’s spiral arms stretch clearly across the galaxy through many radians and may be seen over a considerable proportion of the galaxy’s radius.  Close inspection of the grand spiral arms reveals dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions along the inner part of the spiral arms. 
For strings, flutes, celesta, field recordings, virtual instruments and percussion.

Dorothy meets the 3 munchkins and receives their advise on finding The Wizard of Oz.
From the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum: “At the East, not far from here,” said one, “there is a great desert, and none could live to cross it.” “It is the same at the South,” said another, “for I have been there and seen it. The South is the country of the Quadlings.” “I am told,” said the third man, “that it is the same at the West. And that country, where the Winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way.” . . . The three Munchkins bowed low to her and wished her a pleasant journey, after which they walked away through the trees.

From the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum:
Just then another groan reached their ears, and the sound seemed to come from behind them. They turned and walked through the forest a few steps, when Dorothy discovered something shining in a ray of sunshine that fell between the trees. She ran to the place and then stopped short, with a little cry of surprise. One of the big trees had been partly chopped through, and standing beside it, with an uplifted axe in his hands, was a man made entirely of tin. His head and arms and legs were jointed upon his body, but he stood perfectly motionless, as if he could not stir at all. Dorothy looked at him in amazement . . . “Did you groan?” asked Dorothy. “Yes,” answered the tin man, “I did. I’ve been groaning for more than a year, and no one has ever heard me before or come to help me.” “What can I do for you?” she inquired softly, for she was moved by the sad voice in which the man spoke. “Get an oil-can and oil my joints,” he answered. “They are rusted so badly that I cannot move them at all .  . . “I shall ask Oz for a heart,” said the Tin Woodman; “for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.”

From the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum:
Toto barked sharply and made a snap at the tin legs, which hurt his teeth. . . It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
