ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH C’EST FOU CE QU’ELLE DÉVORE 
ELLE EST DE L’ESPÈCE DES SOURIS PAPIVORES
OTHELLO MACBETH COOPER FENIMORE
BIEN SÛR MONSIEUR TESTE AND SO MANY MORE

AND IN A WORLD OF WORDS SHE LIVES UNDER THE SPELL JUST LIKE A MILLION BIRDS QUI LA FRÔLENT DES AILES

PLEASED TO MEET ELSPETH
MAIS NI REGRETS NI REMORDS SHE’S ALREADY FOUND HER BEST FRIEND AND SO MUCH MORE
YOU LUCKY ANDY

ET DANS SON MONDE DE MOTS SON UNIVERS DE LETTRES 
C’EST DES MILLIONS D’OISEAUX QUI LA FRÔLENT PEUT-ÊTRE

COMMENT ELLE S’APPELLE ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH 
COMMENT ÇA S’ÉPELLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL 
AD LIB
AND IF YOU DON’T THINK PARIS WAS MADE FOR LOVE GIVE LONDON ONE MORE CHANCE

LA SOURIS PAPIVORE (Lyrics) song for Elspeth

I was going down the high road
When he saw me there
At first, I thought that I was dreaming and he said
Let's go for a walk, no no
I don't want no walk
I don't want no talk
I just wanna go home
Then he talked a little while
My eyes were fixing in the sky
All I wanted to remember
Was to keep on watching Peaky Blinders
I don't want no walk (I don't I don't)
I don't want no talk (I don't I don't)
I just wanna chill
I dreamt that I was never say yes
I deamt that I was out of business hey eh yeah eh yeah
How can I ever reach my mind
If I don't let it do what it wants to
Don't let it drive and think too
I don't want no walk (I don't I don't)
I don't want no talk (I don't I don't)
I just wanna chill
How can I ever reach my mind
If I don't let it do what it wants to
Don't let it drive and think too
Don't let it do what it wants to
Don't let it drive and think too
Just wanna feel so lonely

Song written because of an observation I made of so many grandparents raising young children. Originally written for a friend to sing in the vein of John Mellencamp. He had done an excellent version of one of Mellencamp's songs.
I'll link to it as soon as I find it.
Sadley, my singer friend got sick and passed away. 
So, I was forced to do the vocal.

THE FLOW is a guitar piece where the music goes through gentle modulations in a continuous stream of moods. It flows along different sections, some soft, some strong. It’s like the river I live next to, that has passed three different countries and many different places, it’s like my life’s experiences, the styles of music I came across, the feelings it tapped into… 

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”― Rumi

Here is my musical flow, I hope you’ll enjoy!

Mike Benoit is a wonderful sound artist who reached out to me this year with the idea of taking some raw improv piano playing and reworking them to produce original tracks. This appealed to me because 1 - I ain't the greatest piano player so this was flattering and 2 - I spend so much of my time reworking other peoples sounds it would be awesome to be on the receiving end for a change : ) .The album features 4 tracks, each one originally recorded on a different piano then given the treatments by Mike.

lyrics:
And then i ask my self, is there a way out, could i be heard loud?
And then i ask my self, could it be?

And then i turn my head, up in the sky and wondering why?
could i turn back time or live it again?

Chances are thrown away, anothers have won not gone astray
but that's a blessing not a curse so thank you!

You think is over...over now, just shake your head and face now
face the truth and all the greatness around

Don't need nothing else, i got everything that completes me
all the rest is just a dusty grain of sand

Forward and upwards
No need to look back
When I hear your voice
I almost see your face
Give me that reality check

Detours and sideways
as push came to shove

Windows and doorways
(crawling out, pushing through)
loopholes and timeframes
Forward and upwards
(don't come back, don't look down)
fragile but agile
I know we can make it okay

I see you are wearing a mask 
 (lay it down)
to hide from the gazes

We're okay with everything
We're okay with everything

U-turns and ley lines,
cruising and loosing myself
every inch of the way
Can you shed a light
(show it to me)
on this conundrum now?
I'll wear my heart on my sleeve

Occupy where are you now?
Did you find a way for salvation?
(show me the way now)

Forward and upwards
)how to get myself out of here)
I'll only transmit on your wavelength

Forward

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

EVH 5150 Series Standard Stealth Black EB guitar
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Olympic White RW
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM Mahogany Natural
Paulino Bernabe, Taller de Guitarras, Model-50, 2001, classical concert guitar
Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar
Joan Cashimira, modelo 145, spruce top w/ cocobolo sides and back, Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), 2015

I hope you will enjoy my music.
