Rock/Pop/Dance

Middle Earth/Mystical/Historical

This Tune is a remake of "Mother Earth (2008)"
The first Home recording using my new Studio One software, It was a learning curve as I was making this tune, but finally finished it after a few months.
All guitar Instrumental

Earth Mother (2023)

This is the original version before I recorded different lead guitar

Daylight Version 1

Heavens Way (1990) Version 2

Hillage Influenced tune I recorded on tascam 4-track 1990

Cosmic Comunication (1990)

Ethereal Disco is the concept of Angels and Demons Having some time 
off in the higher realms, with their Creator Source as the resident DJ

Ethereal Disco/Funk(2007)

The final battle that brings in the new Dawn of peace, the battle between the fallen Angels of Dark and the righteous Angels.
Semi Ambient Break in the middle as the clouds part and light forces arrive to finalize victory. But after all is said and done, maybe the real battle is within.
Update:
I have replaced this song file with some changes, I've raised the volume of the lead guitar in the first chorus so it can be heard more clearly.
Added an extra guitar riff to underline the bass in two sections of the middle of track, to give some more dynamics
update 2
Back to original for now without extra guitar

Battle For A New Dawn (2024)

This was my first uploaded tune, now wonderfully transformed( with a faster tempo) by my special friend,  inspirational, creative musician and singer/songwriter, Saskia Goethals, who wrote and sung the lyrics, and added additional synthesized sounds and mystic melodies to great ambient effect. Saskia has her own wonderful music here on Soundcloud.
 I love this version. Lyrics below!!


Darklight
Day and night
See How they slowly slowly slide,
towards each other
How they colide,
How they colide,
merge in balance
Casting shadows
A light A glance,

What the moon
does for ocean tide
Pulling pushing
Waves are crushing

No matter what distance
With invisible hands moving Up and down
Takin’ over you have no controle
Without words touching the soul

both will conquer and surrender, both without a fight
Sweet and tender
Darklight, day and night
Darklight, Day and night

Pulling pushing
Waves are crushing

No matter what distance
With invisible hands moving Up and down
Takin’ over you have no controle
Without words touching the soul

You will Love like you’re never hurt
You will Scream like you’re never heard

Darklight United  (2024 Collab Dave Bayes and Saskia Goethals)

This track was recorded on a tascam Porta-1, 4-track tape machine
without beats, using delays as tempo.
The White Wizard Uses his powers and abilities cautiously as he has evolved through countless soul incarnations, sombre but profound
insight into the White Wizard

White Wizard(2003)

Astral Worlds (2008)

The Final version of this tune after three other versions.
The feeling of Earth Bathed in Light of Source
I uesd a Guitar tremelo arm to create the Glissando string effect all through
this tune for ambience.
This effect was first devised By David Allen of Gong, and also used by Steve Hillage on a lot of their recordings from early 70s onwards

The New Age Version 4 (1990)

This tune started off as a blues jam in this version but evolved to be
more ambient sounding in version 2

Landscape Version 1 (1993)

Version 2 using multiple guitar tracks and ambient efx

Landscape Version 2 (1993)

A song about different styles of music colliding, lyrics and vocals by Judith

Collideoscope (2009 Judith vocals)

This is an early 1990s recording, ambient and psychedelic in its nature.
A cry to the highest self to see clearly and understand what is the true path
in this existance

Cry to the Soul (1990) minus drum intro.

This is the original long version of this tune already on Soundcloud
with extra vocals from Judith and extra lead guitar toward the end.

Rainbow Pyramid - Full Length (2007-2008)

I used the Boss Dr Rhythm 880 Drum Machine for this Jam in a style similar to Jimi Hendrix rhythms,

Jim Jam (2018)

Guitar created music with no beat except stereo delays

Innocence (1994)

Eowyn the Elf swords maiden
Recorded this as just a sketch on Basic 4-track tape machine back in 2001-2
without drums but rithmic stereo delays on guitar chords,

Eowyn (2002)

I recorded this idea without drumbeats ang strong stereo delay to keep time to, a one take improvised jam.

Umbriel (2003 exploratory Jam)

This tune was later called Mother Earth and Earth Mother in later versions

Middle Earth (2001)

Another tune inspired by Middle Earth Inhabitants

Elven (2002)

This tune inspired by the film Excalibur and the magical sword of the same name, only the true of heart could wield it

Excalibur (2001)

A simple tune to express the loss of something or someone close to the heart

The Heart's Lament (2001)

First version of this tune
Mystical sun rays full of cosmic information.

Sunlight (2002)

This is  a Rock Idea that could only go so far,  and left as an Instrumental. But My Friend, Saskia Goethals, who has her own fabulous music on here liked this track and we decided to collaborate, Saskia composed the lyrics and Vocals.
 I love what Saskia has done here, given this idea full meaning in her own creative way, transforming an instrumental into a great song and concept.

Zen warrior lyrics

I’m not the kind of girl
That you see in me
I not even come close to who you want me to be
You see in me some kind of fighter in your fantasy
You call me zen warrior
Well it isn’t me, it isn’t me it isn’ t me , no no

I’m mostly calm and at ease, my breath is deep as a soft slow breeze
Live and let live, avoid the negative
I am I am I am totally zen
(4x)

You never see me start a fight
but don’t attack me
Don’t touch my basic right
Wanna stay out of trouble
Don’t wanne make it double
Zen warrior zen warrior

Zen Warrior (collab Dave Bayes XSaskia Goethals 2024)

A rough sketch of an idea I had in 2002 inspired by The film
Lord of the Rings. the timing is off in places but something that can be re-done properly in the future. Arwen, compassionate, intelligent and gentle, and 
eventually Queen of Middle Earth.

Arwen (2002)

This is a chord type tune that I came up with in early 20s that stayed with me, a revolving picked cord, no begining and no end, ever spinning wheel, some saddness and some joy.
I have replaced the file without EQ to original

Eternal Friend (short solo2003)

Got a second hand guitar 2016, Thomas Blug stratocaster copy, cream, and discovered its nice tone, this is the first tune I did with it and was pleased with the feeling it brought me.
have replaced file to the original beforE applying EQ

Fresharea! (2017)

I recorded this Initial Version on a Kareoke like machine that had the ability to layer overdubs in mono only.
 This track inspired me to name it The Flashing Blade from the lat 60s series about the Spanish and  French
conflicts in the 1600s, was facinated by this series.
Version 2, a stereo version will follow shortly

The Flashing Blade Version 1 (Mono 2003)

The re-recorded version of this track Inspired by the late 1960s TV series The Flashing Blade.

The Flashing Blade Version 2 (2003 Stereo)

My first or second track made on Magix Music Maker , the Dance edition, my first Daw, was just a test run using a couple of loops and recorded Guitar, but kept it anyway .

Valhalla 2020

A re recorded track from years ago I wished to update. Judith sang on
version 2, this is version3 (instrumental) but will transfer Judith's
vocals to new version

Cloud 9  2020 (Instrumental version)

I have added Judith's Vocals from the version of Cloud9 2008, now
the vocals have a more of a rock based backing.
The original version of this was an instrumental, which was inspired by spending a long sunny afternoon walking in the expanses of Chatsworth grounds Derbyshire England, a wonderous place.

Cloud 9 2020 (Vocals by Judith)

I am in the process of uploading all my recordings from 1989 to the present, some of which features the voice of Judith in the period 2007-2009. I have many musical influences, there are special bands and musicians I grew up listening to, Gong, Steve Hillage, Santana, Ozric Tentacles, Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Zappa, and from my own country, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, CLannad.
