Name: THE CLUSTER OF WARNINGS by DavidSvensson
Duration: 5 min

@monsooncortex: Thank you!! I am honoured!

In spite of the basic rhythm gluing everything together, this feels like a timeless sculpture of sound... Can't really give an accurate description of this, but I like it !

Classical flute unaccompanied.
Played by Chris Scheri.
Bach Inventio 4.

Chris Scheri Solo Flute: Bach Inventio 4

*Some deny it, but the consensus is strong. As more and more data is accumulated, the cluster grows ever stronger. Will we act upon the warnings, break the trend?* 

Composed and recorded while working on another (longer) instrumental composition...  

Instruments: 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars, electric guitars, keyboards, midi-handplayed bass and percussion, + drum loops. 

Both ClusterOfWarnings and CambrianExplosion have been derived from themes also featured in my 25 min long multi-instrumental:

To re-use ideas, modify them, and let them be the basis for new compositions has a long tradition; already Vivaldi and Bach did this (all the time). From a theoretical standpoint, it interests me; how flexible and potent is a single idea ... 

Cluster of Warnings is possibly the piece I am most satisfied with, so far. 

I appreciate your time here, thanks in advance for any likes/repost/comments!

Words from the man himself : "I worked on it around the time Pope John Paul II died, 2005, and what a fascinating and wonderful life he had; when he died, it didn't feel like he was gone, and it all just seeped into my consciousness, and ended up with this title. For me, it encapsulates the whole man's lifetime, and his death"

A tribute to Mike Oldfield with a Guitar Instrumental rendition of the classic tune, Moonlight Shadow.
Thanks for listening.

Information gathered from Wikipedia;
Released as a single on the 6th May 1983 by Virgin Records, and included on his eighth album, Crises, of the same year.
It has been suggested that the lyrics of the song are a reference to the murder of John Lennon, despite the fact that the events in the song do not correspond with those of Lennon's murder.
When asked whether "Moonlight Shadow" is a reference to John Lennon's murder in a 1995 interview. 
Oldfield responded..
"Not really... well, perhaps, when I look back on it, maybe it was. I actually arrived in New York that awful evening when he was shot and I was staying at the Virgin Records house in Perry Street, which was just a few blocks down the road from the Dakota Building where it happened, so it probably sank into my subconscious. It was originally inspired by a film I loved – Houdini, starring Tony Curtis, which was about attempts to contact Houdini after he'd died, through spiritualism... it was originally a song influenced by that, but a lot of other things must have crept in there without me realising it".

— Mike Oldfield

Lyrics;

[Verse 1]
The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on, worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through

[Verse 2]
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through

[Chorus]
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven, far away
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven one day

[Verse 3]
Four A.M. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Stars move slowly in the silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night?
But she couldn't find how to push through

[Chorus]
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven, far away
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven one day

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Far away on the other side
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side
But she couldn't find how to push through.

Moonlight Shadow

Moonlight Shadow (Mike Oldfield Tribute)

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: ZUMMER ZNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and one of my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS.

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS, possibly my best track ever.
