love the way you layer your vocals, this is a catchy tune! your imagination is endless!

man what a great 60's folkadelic tune!!  fringe, beads, and love for free

just 'cause I played this four times in a row you can't assume I love, so I'll tell you:  I love this!!!!!

no skin off my nose/though/all time all great/it grows/cool one/ great ones/ onions

my eyes are itching seeing those onions, liké thé music!

The aim was to use a very simple melodic phrase then point the data at lot's of plucky synths and mangle them within an inch of their lives.

Then extracting more data from the outcomes of each sound and piping that into the fx control functions.

Song composed during an artist residency with the Fredericton Arts Alliance, 2021. Guitar music performed and composed by Bryan McDaniel. A song about the resiliency of the human spirit.

Glacial Melt

V1: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, 10,000-year-old glacial giants
Snow white to deep aquamarine
Floating down the current to the warm gulf stream

Icebergs are edges of glaciers
Broken off and slipped into the ocean
90% below the surface of the sea
As deep and as hidden as a secret me

V2: Down by the Labrador
Icebergs, frozen giants, compressed snow and water
Crevasses a deep blue
and volcanic eruptions encased in ice cold.

Ocean currents hold me, waves forever blow me
As long as I am deep blue
Try to stop explosions, wind forever blowing
Ocean currents growing too.

V3: Far from the Labrador
Icebergs run aground and begin to start melting
Growlers by the shore
The water that is melting innocent and pure

I feel the force of currents,
my inner momentum
Ice bergs are unstable
but that’s not my story

Melting ice is stronger
Melting ice no longer
I become the ocean
By a warm gulf stream.

Glacial Melt

I like many am shocked and appalled at what is unfolding before us. In the midst of this darkness I salute the people who are opening their hearts and offering assistance to the refugees from this disastrous conflict.

Here are some UK links to appeals providing humanitarian aid. I'm sure each country has equivalent appeals happening now.

Empathy For The Agony

This song features Dave Cooper on vocals and rhythm guitar.  This is a variation on a song I wrote a little while back and placed on YouTube.  I play mandolin and fiddle on this version.  Dave Cooper added new music and melody for the original lyrics.

Here is a link to the original version of this song:

Do Right, Do Wrong

Verse 1:
Way back in the 1500’s
In Stratford upon Avon
The Merchant of Venice 
Shylock is good and a menace

Chorus 1:
To do a great right 
Do a little wrong
That is what
Shakespeare said

Verse 2:
What does it mean
To the play’s scene
Why must one do wrong to do right?
That is the situation Portia had to fight
How can this possibly be
Why would he make this plea

Verse 3:
When Bassanio urges Portia to break the law in order to thwart Shylock

Final Double Chorus:
Sometimes it is necessary
To do a little wrong
To create a situation for a great right

Do Right Do Wrong (with warfydave)

Simple Times Ahead

the lovely Belle on flute
Straddie at full moon

can you hear that sound

high above the full moon glows
throwing shadows on the world below
far below

can you hear that sound
rising up with the northern wind
climbing up to heaven on high

maybe it's the sound
turns it all around
maybe it's the mood
you do

we'll be coming off high
as the innocence dies
we'll be running on low
as we hit the open road

something tells me that it don't get better than this right now


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_HpsMZXiPQ

sound

I can’t stop the time from passing
I can’t stop time…
How would I not know you
Sister in spirit brother in arms
Taking comfort in the absurd
The fleeting joy of transient bodies
And strange faces
How would I not love you
How would I not pursue you
Weapons of indifference
Shields of sarcasm
Do not deter the ardent adventurer

Here's another fabulous work of art from Morten Jeamland -a club remix of my song Better World.

Better World - Morten Jeamland Club Remix

Remember when the Yamaha DX7 took over the world? Well, not the entire world, but the world of music for sure. And all kinds of music, not just electronic music. Entire albums had nothing but the DX7 and it's module cousins + various sequencers on them. Oh, and I DARE you to find a 1984-onward Phil Collins ballad without the DX7 sound on it! You will not succeed. 😄 It's a wonderful instrument, but it did get a bit overused at the time. Still, I love the sound, which is why you'll hear it on a lot of my older pieces. 

This isn't a DX7, though I did have a later model, the DX7 IID at one time. It's a sample of a DX on my EX7, and just like the DX it's very metallic / bell sounding. It does sound a bit like mid to late 80's smooth Jazz / Jazz Fusion. There's a Bob James (best known for the theme to "Taxi") album from the mid-80's that I haven't heard in forever ... yet it still inspired this. Here's "DXter". 🙏
