Morning Sunrise

Somewhere between a 9/8 jig and a folk tale for piano (2011 revised 2023)

The Spinning Wheel

Samurai Crescendo: The Resonant Blade, is an electrifying instrumental composition that takes listeners on a thrilling journey through the clash of the Samurai's steel. With the spirit of an Edo period's samurai duel, the track blends dynamic overdriven guitars, intense drums, and the traditional sound of a shamishen. As the rhythm draws inspiration from middle eastern and Greek influences, it weaves a tapestry of bold rhythms, creating an atmosphere of assertive aggression. The melodic line serves as a bold statement, reflecting the unwavering determination of a warrior engaged in a historic duel. The fusion of world influences and folk rock elements culminate in a symphony of sound, echoing the triumphant spirit of a warrior's crescendo.

Samurai Crescendo

"To Yassemi" essentially celebrates love and dedication. The intense electric sounds represent in rock music the passion and the need for free expression.

Part 3 of a small suite using field recordings captured in the 19th arrondissement of Paris in January 2020... also Part 1 of a new project that looks at the harmonic possibilities of human speech.. i have always been fascinated by the rhythm of conversation and this new project developed from manipulating spoken word pieces. The original text was provided by Cy Bianne who some of you may know as Société Cantine on Soundcloud/Bandcamp. It was written by Pierre Charras about the inspiration Francis Bacon found for his paintings on a beach one day. The recording has been heavily manipulated to create melodies, harmonies and textures from the raw words. Eventually I am going to attempt to build a choir with spoken word pieces in as many languages as i can find (i may approach some of you for reading!). This track is pretty rough, just a start i guess. also if you want to hear some really imaginative music i highly recommend you check out Cy's page or bandcamp. He writes amazing stuff   https://societecantine.bandcamp.com                                                                          https://soundcloud.com/societecantine

La Plage Était Un Vaste Village Dont Il Était L'idiot (Paris 19th Arrondissement part 3)

Been writing a lot of slooooooow music lately, so this was a circuit breaker. And an excuse to check out the latest free notation software options as i cant really justify paying for  Finale or Sibelius as I dont write much stuff like this these days. This software is called musescore - was one of the better ones i played with; easy to navigate but of course with 'free' comes some pretty rough sampled instruments. Okay back to the slow stuff and thankfully the restart of rehearsing in person now the lockdowns are easing : )

3 a.m. in the morning
 My sleep is breaking and I'm stranded here until you ride
You came for that feeling.
You came for that feeling.
You came for that feeling again.

Now I feel like I'm waisting my time
You've got me Nullified
You've probably done this many times.
Feel like I'm falling
Being pushed by the wind
but your were going to feel my courage baby
When you come back for that feeling again.

Repeat and don't muck about...
