Some of my Soundcloud Favourites #3

All the sounds you are about to hear are made from real instruments, I used 3000 year old Mayan ,Aztec and Inca flute samples.
Ancient civilizations didn't used the same notes we use today, those early musical instruments like flutes were just mimicking what they heard in the rainforest, animals like birds, owls, wolfs, parrots etc...
This is by far the largest piece I wrote and I am exhausted. 

Special dedication to someone I consider a friend here on SC, Max a wonderful composer also known as Synthgrinder https://soundcloud.com/synthgrinder-1/tracks

Also and as usual a special thank you to Ray Billcliff the wonderful photographer I work with, please do yourself a favour and visit his online site, it will brighten your day for sure, he has a wonderful eye for beauty www.raybilcliff.uk/

Travel Journal (feat. Chris Dent)

And children grow up with deep eyes,
Who know of nothing, grow up and die,
And all men go their ways.

And sweet fruits grow from the bitter ones
And fall down at night like dead birds
And lie a few days and perish.

And ever the wind blows, and ever again
We hear and speak many words
And feel lust and weariness of limbs.

And roads run through the grass, and places
Are there and there, full of torches, trees, ponds,
And looming, and deadly withered . . .

What are these built for? and never resemble
One another never? and are innumerable many?
What alternates laughter, weeping and palliation?

What do we care about all this and these games,
We who are great and eternally lonely
And wandering never seek any goals?

What does it matter if we have seen many such things?
And yet he who says "evening" says a lot,
A word from which profundity and sorrow run

Like heavy honey from the hollow combs.

Und Kinder wachsen auf mit tiefen Augen,
Die von nichts wissen, wachsen auf und sterben,
Und alle Menschen gehen ihre Wege.

Und süße Früchte werden aus den herben
Und fallen nachts wie tote Vögel nieder
Und liegen wenig Tage und verderben.

Und immer weht der Wind, und immer wieder
Vernehmen wir und reden viele Worte
Und spüren Lust und Müdigkeit der Glieder.

Und Straßen laufen durch das Gras, und Orte
Sind da und dort, voll Fackeln, Bäumen, Teichen,
Und drohende, und totenhaft verdorrte . . .

Wozu sind diese aufgebaut? und gleichen
Einander nie? und sind unzählig viele?
Was wechselt Lachen, Weinen und Erbleichen?

Was frommt das alles uns und diese Spiele,
Die wir doch groß und ewig einsam sind
Und wandernd nimmer suchen irgend Ziele?

Was frommt's, dergleichen viel gesehen haben?
Und dennoch sagt der viel, der "Abend" sagt,
Ein Wort, daraus Tiefsinn und Trauer rinnt

Wie schwerer Honig aus den hohlen Waben.

'Hugo von Hofmannsthal'

Origin And Decay

When you called me this morning – the sound on your end – was so deafening – I got scared –tried not to act weird – Do I run to your place – your butt dial said everything – I bet right now that you wish I wasn’t listening
But I was…. And I heard my  whole world crash down – in a second my life’s upside down and I’m holding on to last night’s love – and today – I guess it’s a brand new day – when you threw it all away – I'm still holding on to last nights love
I tried to call you that afternoon – phone rang off the hook – and my frustration – left me contemplating – do I come over your place with gun in hand so I can eliminate what killed us
And it's all because... I heard my  whole world crash down – in a second my life’s upside down and I’m holding on to last night’s love – and today – I guess it’s a brand new day – when you threw it all away – I'm still holding on to last nights love
I get one call the said when I was arrested and now it’s 2AM and my head is spinning – I grab the gun from them and point it to my head – say one last prayer in vain Oh god please numb this pain 
And there i was.. I heard my  whole world crash down – in a second my life’s upside down and I’m holding on to last night’s love – and today – I guess it’s a brand new day – when you threw it all away – I.m still holding on to last nights love,,,,,,,,

I Want To Get Closer

Imagine the end of time as we know it!
In a realm of timelessness, worries would cease to exist...
For time would be on your side, even IF it were NOT accounted for.
Welcome to this idea of freedom, here & now, I invite you to explore those feelings in that world of your ultimate control.

Goodbye forever

This one is a bit of a glitter fest.  Inspired by the Cinderella story and my 7 year old daughter who loves to play dress up.  
I'm so grateful to Tatiana and her beautiful musicianship, helping again to class up my simple melodies with the warm tones of her bow and fiddle! @rosindust

The Future

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.
