...in the year 2023 ;)

Another quicky made with Originals Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussion. Sadly there is a bug in Epic Strings which can be heard at the beginning on 2nd and 3rd bar/tact that I couldn't avoid. I hope Spitfire resolves it and then I'll upload corrected version.

A track for imaginary game set in fantasy world.

Seeking Sorrow

The L Is For Love ( LuLu's Theme )

A Song Of The Bygones (Solo Version)

WOW, Thank You so much! I didn't expect this song to reach 1000 plays. ❤️

Happy New Year Everyone! 
It's been a bit of a crazy and dark year, but...
It's a joy of being here listening to Your music and share with You mine for the entire 2023. I'm looking forward for Your next Year music. 

This is my newest, one evening project. I'm posting this as an experiment ;) This is me as I am, playing live in one take, then edited it a bit... It was a total improvisation... The piece developed as I played it. Apart from the background music, nothing was thought out. What came out is what came out ;)
It was a test of my new keyboard Nektar Impact GXP61 which I got for Christmas from my mom. Sorry, my left hand really feels like wood ;) But now I have a reason to make it move and play... And this was pure fun to make :) 

Thank You kindly for listening and I hope you like it at least a little bit!

This is small project in which I've used only 3 instruments: Spitfire Originals Epic Brass + Woodwinds - Woodwinds Live, Originals Media Tool Kit - Piano and VSL Free Celestial Strings.

On the photo is my "gear": old - on my desk and new - on the drawer shelf :)

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is 
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

The Catch

We inhabit a space somewhere on the outskirts of avant-jazz and punk rock, Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, and full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who collaborate with friends old and new."

❤️ Thank you for buying music from independent artists! We need to pay our rent and electricity bills, feed our cats, buy food, car insurance, and all that other stuff too...You can buy our music on Bandcamp.
