You can find this track also on Youtube where I filmed myself while playing this. https://youtu.be/s5ytA3aeu6w 

I just wanted to try out whether I could do a Boogie. This is the outcome. Hope you like it and it gives you good energy. 

Composition-wise: The left is a consistent 1/8th Boogie base line throughout the piece and typically consisting of a lower chromatic line and an upper constant note (e.g., C0-C1-D0-C1-Eb0-C1-E0-C1). The right hand dances over this with a partly Staccato theme that is loosened up by repeated Syncopes, Delays and advanced notes. The piece starts in a joyous C and modulates over its course to the minor third and ends in the warmer (and for me richer) Eb. 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90.
The Cover art was created with Stable Diffusion which I continue fuddling around with. I think it is already a far jump from my previous „Sheherazades Tale“ Cover art but still not perfect. In particular, I continue to wonder what kind of music might be played with the very peculiar arrangement of white and black keys on the keyboard.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe” Teil V. (31.12.2023 )

Die Kraft der Musik.
Ich habe es bewusst Pianomeditationen genannt. Zart und mitfühlend.
Wenn auch andere Instrumente begleitend mitwirken.
Ein Hauch von fließenden und wellenförmigen Klangharmonien.
Hier also die Fortsetzung meiner Klangresonanzreise mit diesem fünften Teil der Pianomeditationen.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe“ Teil IV.. könnt Ihr unter diesem Link anhören:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-iv

Klaviermusik einmal anders arrangiert mit zarten umwobenen Klangformen. 
Das Klavier bleibt immer noch im Vordergrund der Komposition.
Jedes Klavier hat seine eigene Mystik und Klang. 
Sich auf den Klang einlassen und intensiv hineinhören ist gleichermaßen auch eine meditative Fokussierung auf die Musik.
Folgt den Klängen ohne Gedanken. Nur auf sich selbst zu konzentrieren und entspannen. 
Musik ist heilsam für uns Menschen. 

Ich habe frei von allen Mustern der Klanggestaltung mich von den Klängen inspiriert leiten lassen. 
Improvisiert, mich dem Gefühl jeder Taste von Ton zu Ton leitend hingegeben.
Ohne auf einen richtigen oder falschen Ton zu achten.
Denn eigentlich gibt es keinen falschen Ton. Alles ist Klang.
Ich komponiere nicht, ich werde komponiert.
Die Komposition ist bereits da, ich horche in die Stille.
Das Leben ist eine Komposition.

Jeder Körper ist anders und hat unterschiedliche Schwingungen.

So mit starte ich eine musikalische Reise mit den Tasten die ich liebe.
Eine Klaviermeditation zur Entspannung, zur Erholung, zur Heilung unserer Klangkörper.

Ich wünsche Euch liebevolle, beruhigende und entspannte Klangmomente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“The keys I love” Part V. (December 31, 2023)

The power of music.
I deliberately called it piano meditations. Tender and compassionate.
If other instruments also contribute.
A touch of flowing and undulating sound harmonies.
So here is the continuation of my sound resonance journey with this fifth part of the piano meditations.

You can listen to “The Keys I Love” Part IV at this link:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-iv

Piano music arranged in a different way with delicate, interwoven sound forms.
The piano still remains at the forefront of the composition.
Every piano has its own mystique and sound.
Getting involved with the sound and listening intensively is also a meditative focus on the music.
Follow the sounds without thoughts. Just concentrate on yourself and relax.
Music is healing for us humans.

Free from all patterns of sound design, I let myself be inspired by the sounds.
Improvised, surrendering to the feeling of each key guiding me from note to note.
Without paying attention to a right or wrong tone.
Because there is actually no wrong tone. Everything is sound.
I don't compose, I am composed.
The composition is already there, I listen to the silence.
Life is a composition.

Every body is different and has different vibrations.

So I'm starting a musical journey with the keys I love.
A piano meditation for relaxation, recovery, and healing of our sound bodies.
I wish you loving, calming and relaxed sound moments.

Thank you for your valued attention.

LYRIC

As it was foretold
As I get more old
Than anyone’s ever been
My childhood world’s the perfect place
To get lost within

This one’s too crowded
And everything’s shouted
An unsupervised playground
You know how kids act
With no grownups  around

If you need someone to help
Please ask me last
Better learn to help yourself
My time has passed

Too many choices
All the raised voices
Trying to catch an ear
A toddler banging on pots and pans
Genius of the year

Let me just regress
I’d rather see less
Than more of what we’ve become
Despite how loud
Still dumber than dumb

If the end is on its way
Please make it fast
I’m not made for the world today
My time has passed
It’s up and gone
So get off my lawn
My time has passed

For good or ill
I’m over the hill
My time has passed

My Time Has Passed

Long Time ago....a girl walked out of my life.....telling me
 " she had to leave"

She Had To Leave

Country Christmas song about the life of a touring musician at Christmas

ImWant To Be Home At Christmas

I Want To be Home At Christmas

So much trouble

Building on the first album, the Beau Williams Band's second album deepens its roots in Southern rock, country, and folk while venturing into new sonic territories and genres. The conceptual feel-good journey continues, this time exploring the themes of nostalgia, growth, and the unbreakable bonds of community. The live jam session feel is still very much present.
The intricate guitar work and layered harmonies remain a signature element, and the album offers a dynamic range, from foot-stomping, front-porch sing-alongs that evoke a sense of shared history to intimate, soulful tracks that feel like a quiet conversation between old friends. It’s a perfect companion for a late-night drive home, a walk through a familiar landscape, or simply savouring a moment of quiet reflection.

SPOTLIGHT: Sexagenarian Volume VI is now complete after the addition of its twelfth tarck, "where once...". Check out the other five (5!) volumes of Sexagenarian as well. 

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
