Forgiven

Improvised this with a single omnidirectional microphone....not gonna redo it because it's what came to me at that moment and I think it captures that I'm happy where I am right now in life :)

Doodle #4 (Contentment)

Sigh ..

I recorded these samples on a recent trip to Scotland...this track contains nothing else but Scottish water from Campbeltown in Kintyre and Uig in Skye poured into my Mac. There is no EQ added, just a little reverb and delay for depth, a touch of limiter for smoothness...this track mixed itself and is free of additives and artificial flavourings. Just water.

Music Made out of Scottish Water, Dave McKeown

Here is a collaboration with a lovely old friend Liz Monument. Liz and I both studied music at Bretton Hall in Yorkshire a few years ago. Those of you who have had the chance to do something like that will know that the friendships you make there go beyond the social...you share creativity with your classmates and for me, I always keep a cozy seat in my heart for anyone with whom I make good music. Back then, Liz was a fantastic classical guitarist, but since then she has widened her range to encompass many more styles and stringed instruments....including the sparkling harp that features here alongside the guitar. A couple of years ago we renewed friendship via facebook and this year we're making music again via soundcloud. Please listen to more of Liz's beautiful playing at http://soundcloud.com/lizmonument

Here I play the Uillean Pipes and Low Whistle. I absolutely adore the pipes, but they also frustrate me as I don't think I'm physically cut out to play them to the standard I'd like to. But now and then I give them a day out. If by any chance you like the sound here, please do me the favour of going to youtube and checking out what REAL pipers can do, like Paddy Keenan, Cillian Vallely and Davy Spillane.

Liz's harp provides a perfect setting here for Louis MacNeice's amazing poem The Strand. The harp's chords lap like waves on the poet's beach. I have a strong identification with this poem; my father was also a Northern Irish clergyman who “kept something in him solitary and wild”. The last quality time I spent with my father was a wordless walk on such an Irish strand. The image attached to the song is a washed out old slide I took that very winter afternoon....'white Tintoretto clouds' behind Slieve Donard, towering above the beach at Newcastle, County Down. All that's missing is the 'square black figure' beyond the viewfinder to the left. 

The Strand

by Louis MacNeice

White Tintoretto clouds beneath my naked feet,
This mirror of wet sand imputes a lasting mood
To island truancies; my steps repeat

Someone’s who now has left such strands for good
Carrying his boots and paddling like a child,
A square black figure whom the horizon understood -

My father. Who for all his responsibly compiled
Account books of a devout, precise routine
Kept something in him solitary and wild,

So loved the Western sea and no tree’s green
Fulfilled him like these contours of Slievemore
Menaun and Croghaun and the bogs between.

Sixty-odd years behind him and twelve before,
Eyeing the flange of steel in the turning belt of brine
It was sixteen years ago he walked this shore

And the mirror caught his shape which catches mine
But then as now the floor-mop of the foam
Blotted the bright reflections - and no sign

Remains of face or feet when visitors have gone home.

It was a truly busy summer for Parov Stelar. His 5th studio album "The Princess" was a success and tickets for his shows all over the world were on heavy demand. After an exhausting summer of touring, with dozens of sold out shows, it´s now time to make a brief stop, take a deep breath and look back. Parov Stelar has chosen is a series of three remix EPs as the perfect way to reflect. In this series he and colleagues have been searching for new aspects in his sounds and reinterpreting his music. Every EP follows it´s own path and carves out some unique details.

Part one of the three-part series presents two remixes by Parov Stelar himself. Both the classic Parov Stelar track "L.O.V.E." as well as "Oh Yeah", which is from Stelar´s latest album, have been given a high gloss finish for "The Remix and Re-Edit Trilogy Part 1/3". "L.O.V.E." mutates from a rocking breakbeat monster to a chilled disco-house track with a perfect summer feel.  "Oh Yeah" has also been given the disco treatment by cranking it up a notch and creating much more pressure for the dancefloor than the album version.

The further parts of the trilogy will be released over the autumn.

"Grow Old With You", written by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy, performed by Adam Sandler.

Music by  Daniel Padilla.
-------------------------------------------------------

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the girl who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Music by Kris Farrow's acoustic guitar instrumental track off iTunes. 

LYRICS :

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.
Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.
Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.


Runt -The Way I am (Ingrid Michaelson) cover

BIG THANKS to @Rendypandugo for suggesting this cover and recording the instruments for it.

LYRICS :
I know (I know) you belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me

Although (although) we're apart
You are a part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me

Way down by the stream 
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream in The moonlight
My honey I know (i know)
With the dawn 
That you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me

"How Deep Is Your Love" is a pop song written and recorded by the Bee Gees in 1977.

Duet with @Rahne 
Credit instrumental goes to www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNc0fxcx8SA

LYRICS :
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and you softly leave
And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love I really need to learn
Cause were living in a world of fools Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
Youre the light in my deepest darkest hour
Youre my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love

How Deep is Your Love - Bee Gees (cover) @Runtlalala  & @Rahneputri

Music by Kris Farrow's acoustic guitar instrumental track off iTunes. 

LYRICS :
Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon... So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side, (just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Gotta love that afro hairdo.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer.
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

I wrote this for a short film that's being created in London...I'll add more information about it when it's released like the web link and such! 

This being my first film composition, I placed the film with no noise in front of me while I completely improvised over top of it. I feel like once I develop my style and learn how to add more parts to my songs, I'll love for soundtrack composition to be a side job for me!

Rocking ten-thousands of EDC Las Vegas visitors. Catching more than 230,000 clicks on its official Soundcloud preview. And ready to rule the speakers long after the summer season’s passed. 

The very first of hopefully many more collabs of Dash Berlin, Alexander Popov and singer Jonathan Mendelsohn has landed. ‘Steal You Away’ is here.

One of the exclusives on the Deluxe album of ‘#musicislife’, ‘Steal You Away’ is a brand new story to be told. A story of emotion, energy and musical fusion. Written by a dream-team of gifted artists, it combines the uplifting power of Dash with the proggy touch of Popov. 

After the success of ‘Better Half of Me’ and ‘World Falls Apart’, Jonathan Mendelsohn’s return to Dash’ music feels like a return home after a long journey. ‘Steal You Away’ is going to steal yo ur heart, and run away with it. Be ready to chase it for millions of miles.

Steal You Away

Dash Berlin & Alexander Popov feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn - Steal You Away

I am a working full-time musician, teaching, performing, composing, recording and arranging, and my gigs in the last few years have included jazz combo, big band jazz, folk, Irish traditional, rock, soul, latin, klezmer, funk, orchestral, chamber, minimal techno, musical theatre and more, so, safe to say, I’ll have a go at anything. 

I'm a firm believer in demolishing boundaries between genres, cultures, languages and ultimately people, and Soundcloud is a terrific place where all this can happen.
