It is wonderful when a previously released song has enough potential energy to be released as a new song in a different genre.  So it is with this song first inspired by Thommo last spring in a collaboration with him and Ren Faye called "Dream Catching".  I liked the initial soundscape and guitar parts enough that I wanted to do a separate acoustic release under a different title.  Debra Buesking's definitive artistry entered the picture when we were teasing ideas for another collaboration.  I submitted this to her, she loved it, and now graces it with her superb playing, actually re-inventing the song.  More of her fine music can be heard @debra_buesking 
Imagine a windswept veranda. a couple dancing to distant thunder, passions building and breaking as the storm approaches.  The original is much different, more Celtic and ethereal and can be heard here as well as Thommo's other amazing productions: soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes/dream-catching-feat-david-dunham-and-ren-faye

Dancing On The Veranda (Thommo, Debra Buesking, David Dunham)

As of 1.9.2023 this is now the official project page of Encounter 743.

An idea is a complete thing. If you stay true to it, it tells you everything from beginning to end.

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.

Alpha: A Sonic Journey Through Time and Tempo
Alpha isn't just a sound system; it's an experience, a journey through the very essence of rhythm and bass. Imagine the raw, tangible energy of old-school spinning on vinyl, where every crackle and pop tells a story, and the DJ's touch is an intimate part of the sonic landscape. Alpha honours this tradition, bringing forth the foundational beats that laid the groundwork for dance music as we know it. We're talking about the deep grooves that resonate in your chest, the kind of sound that demands movement and ignites a primal urge to dance.
But Alpha doesn't stop there. Our sonic palette expands exponentially, embracing the cutting edge with the latest techno beats. This is where precision meets power, where intricate rhythms intertwine with thumping basslines to create an immersive, almost transcendental experience. Picture relentles,, every mix, is meticulously chosen and crafted to deliver that "heart-pumping, soul-shaking" sensation. It's about more than just playing music; it's about curating an atmosphere, building a collective energy that resonates through the crowd.
So, when we say Alpha will "set your sneakers on fire," we're not just being poetic. We mean you'll be compelled to move, to lose yourself in the rhythm, to feel the music course through your veins until your feet are a blur on the dance floor. Get ready for a high-octane sonic adventure that bridges generations of sound, all designed to make you move.

Amateur de musique, de philosophie, de poésie, je n 'ai pas d'autre culte que l'amitié. J'aime écrire et mettre en musique, j'aime mélanger les genres, et mon piano aux boucles pour étoffer l'un, vivifier les autres, les déranger parfois. La musique ne connaît pas de barrière, sauf de corail!

ma musique est également publiée sur bandcamp avec comme nom d'artiste : semellesdevent

Thanks to everyone who listen to my melodies
