A few years back my mother, Rose, fell in love with another man, Klaus. It was an amazing love story ... and it was so cute and funny to see my mother behaving excited like a teenager. 
Unfortunately their love soon was shaded by tragedy, as Klaus became terminally ill and so both just had a short time left with each other. Nevertheless they made the best out of every single minute left for their passionate and deep love until Klaus finally died holding Roses hand. 

I created this piece in memoriam of Klaus and dedicate it to Rose. May the light still shine for you!

The image is taken from the internet and does not depict the real Rose and Klaus. 
The music is inspired by the soundtrack of the movie "In the Mood For Love".
Artist Clarke Duggan created an amazing timelapse painting movie - find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6p5h_Qcptk&amp=&feature=youtu.be

The Story Of Rose And Klaus

A TOY SOLDIER'S INCARNATE FANTASIES  

i want to be 
your little toy soldier
in your war 
against your 
imaginary 
titans

and i want to be
your fabled mountaineer
who scales new heights
for your love

and i want to be 
your foul-mouthed fantasy
and i want to be
your ecstasy

and i want to be
your revered saint
if just for a day

and if it were up to me
i would rather be 
the fly on your wall
rather than in your ointment

and i want to be
the pendulum
that oscillates
in your dreams

don't ostracize me
for all i want to be
is your 
night-serenade
sung
half-asleep.

Ilya Beshevli - Night Forest (Live old Piano)

Hi guys, please say hello to Three.

The penultimate Piece from this package of 8 I've been putting together, which collectively will be named : Numbers. Released a little later this year.

Across the recordings I've used different mic placements and combinations to try and aid what I had to say.. The mixes up on SC are where ever I feel settled.. to share, So it's always interesting to read your comments, thanks :)

Headphones are always a nice way to listen.. 
Hope you enjoy.

When I initially saw this gate I thought of passing through it as if entering into a different world and so is the music...

This Version is my first cross instrumental collab on SC and I feel very honoured that Lyod put all his passion and feel into this song to let this song become a wonderful journey beginning right behind the gate entering into a strange and mystical world of sound....

Also check out Lyods Cloud and his great music !

She Knows Somewhere Love Is Real

DICHOTOMY                                                  (copyright 2013, all rights reserved)


when  you leave
close the door softly
behind you

no one notices
the inescapable 
inertia

certainly you had
hoped for more

close your eyes now
go to sleep
when you can 
exult in glee
spread forth
like a mighty oak tree
where the herdsman
seeks shade
for his sheep

and in your dreams
you are
emboldened to be
everything
you cannot be
where the palisades end
and ivory dreams begin

dream peacefully 
you precariously 
positioned
prodigy

for when you wake
there will be 
a deafening stampede 
of the unanimity
of reality

Lyrics - 

If you hadn't asked 
Leave my answer the same 
Leo's mine 
If you hadn't asked her 
Staining my whole tongue red 

It's you I ask now 
Stirring my indulgent sentiment 
Don't, don't, fall, 
You so might as well 
Be un-done 
Lay low 
You're staining my whole tongue red 

Dying all my colours red 
How'd you get this out, she said you won't 
Fallen far a clear mile 
Bound for all the sun to spoil 

If you hadn't asked 
Made the stuff 
Made it so fine 
Leo's mine 
If you hadn't asked her 
Staining my whole tongue red 

It's you I ask now 
Stirring my indulgent sentiment 
Don't, don't, stare
You so might as well 
Be un-done 
Lay low 
You're staining my whole tongue red 

Dying all my colours red 
How'd you get this out, she said you won't 
Fallen far a clear mile 
Bound for all the sun to spoil

A tranquil moment of silence in the midst of the hectic everyday life.

Pictures (Acoustic) (McDermott/Burman)

I’ve already packed my things
And I kissed my mother goodbye
Most of the people I know will notice I’m gone
But wont know why
I’ll see you in the next life

Cause ive heard a call from the north
And I know better than not to heed it
And theres still a fire inside I’m afraid might die
If I cant find a way to feed it
Oh I know I need it

But I don’t think I’ll make it alone
Ten thousand miles from the place I once called home
But if you walk this by my side
I think there a chance we just might find
Home

I’m not looking for my reasons
I’m not running from my past
But doesn’t everyone need a change of scenery
And aint it true, that a good thing never last
When the end is coming fast

Happy Easter!
This is that Brazilian guitar I mentioned before & my slightly twisted version of a classical piece common to this time of year.

Some people ask: can one make a living from music? Let me ask back: can one make a living without music?
