Sometimes we lose those we've loved the most. As I write this (in October/November 2023) it's beyond painful to witness the scenes of grief and loss countless others are experiencing in our world in wars, seemingly, without end - where the powerless always suffer the most. It makes any attempt to give voice to one's own personalised sense of loss seem self indulgent. But in the hope that one grief observed, though only a drop in an ocean, can add something to the pool of human sympathy at a time when it's so sorely needed - a song of farewell:

"And so the final scene
Where fancies all are slowly stripped away
Who knows what might have been
Had fate been kinder to our dreams
But no regrets - our hearts were true
And in the end it's all that matters
Old friend adieu - I'll wait for you
Somewhere beyond the blue" 

With many thanks to:

And not least, a little inspiration from J S Bach (BWV 998) -  a never ending font of inspiration, is old Bach. Vielen Dank JSB

Somewhere Beyond The Blue Dave

Late in life, Thomas fulfills his passion for creating and performing songs. Alice, one of his two daughters, adds her touch and her voice. The songs are for some in French and for others in English, and interpreted either by Al(Alice), or by To(Thomas), or in duet or by guests. We hope you will like it and encourage us to continue!

Hi! This is my musical sketchbook – a collection of improvisations, cinematic ideas and happy accidents.

I use piano, guitars, analog and orchestral textures to score imaginary scenes, tell stories and drift into experimental soundscapes.

By day, I work on visual effects for films. After hours, I create music to explore different worlds.

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Sometimes introspective; always driven by a wider social conscience and a sense of human fragility. Touching on topics that tear at the heart of the human condition (loneliness, love and loss, homelessness/poverty, social exclusion).  And, there again, what’s a songsmith if not a conjurer of dreams? Dreams to lift us, if but for a moment, above the dull vicissitudes of life. Dreams of a world reimagined, that brave souls will always aspire to whatever the cost (Martin Luther King Jr...). A glimmer of unfeigned empathy. A glimpse of sunshine after rain. Music offered as a little healing for troubled times; a solace for the soul; a little heartfelt scattering of dreams - tread softly! 'Our life is no dream; but it ought to become one, and perhaps will' (Novalis)

Ich erschaffe Klangwelten, Sehr dunkele Klangwelten Gedankenwelten so wie Ambient Welten. Habe mir alles selber beigebracht. Notenlesen Hab ich nie Gelernt. Lebe in meiner Gedankenwelt. Meine Klangwelt erstelle ich nur nach Gehör. Es Freud mich wenn ihr meine Klangwelt Hört.

Salut aux Unes, aux Uns et aussi, aux Autres !
J'espère n'avoir oublié personne.😊

Sur cet espace -dans l'espace- quelques maquettes de chansons ruminées au fil du temps qui passe en revue mes humeurs, mes envies, et mes névroses.

Bien que l'extraordinaire expérience LeBAROUF [ACOUSTICBAR'OUF] soit terminée, je demeure un peu parolier, un peu compositeur, un peu interprète. Confortablement installé derrière cet -oh combien- subtil pseudonyme, je persiste à joindre les mots et les notes, en regardant le passé, en profitant du présent, et en espérant l'avenir.

Evidement, vous pouvez [me] suivre, [me] partager, [me] complimenter - ou pas😁!

A bientôt ici, là ou ailleurs.
