Lovely flowing piece Bruce, and masterfully arranged as usual :)

amazing flow Bruce! happy and very well composed. Bravo :)

This is about as close to a "dittie" as you get in the synth VST world. I loaded up 5 different VSTs, four from Logic Pro X and 1 from Kontakt, mapped them into 5 different and sometimes overlapping parts of the keyboard and played it all in one go. In other words this is a one man band piece that can be performed live - there are no overlays just a single play. It was kind of fun doing this and I felt like one of those street musicians playing on a pedestrian street in front of an old-fashioned department store while playing. Maybe some of you will enjoy.

Song Of Freedom - Special Cecilia & EMmy (Original Short Mix)

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

ひとり刹那 / beauty in sadness
========================

風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった

ひとり刹那の　波に揺られ

いいことばかりじゃない
わるいことだけでもない


たたずむ　今日もあれ　見えない距離
やがてこの地上も　雪の音を　聴く


風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった

ひとり　音無し　路に置かれ

今年も　また　ひとつ
歳は　離れ



祈る言葉さえ　どこ吹く風
やがてこの地上も　雪の音だけ　聴く


風のささやく声が　通りすぎて　今

夏を連れていった
想い出に変えていった


ひとり刹那の　波に揺られ

いいことばかりじゃない
わるいことだけでもない

ひとり刹那 / beauty in sadness

A trip into a forest to sight an elusive tiger. Enthusiastic calls, tension, a roar, release...and home again!

I know… if I look away
I’m better off to see…
Time in a different way
And how it should be…
The minutes move so slowly
And sow their seeds…
Morning takes away the darkness
Eventually…

And if…I don’t miss the chance
To take it all in inside
Before walls come crumbling down
And we run and hide…
The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

The hours show so little mercy 
Don’t you see
That we’re given what we need
Eventually…

The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes.

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.
