The Haze

Since I heard Hang Massive work for the first time, I got obsessed with the need to hear Hang Drum sound. Now I enjoy playing it too, software of course. In particular Soniccouture as Native Instruments or Ableton Live device. 

Made this track last year, riding my bike along the picturesque hills surrounding Silicon Valley. The grass, burned to Gold for the most time of the year, looks (and smells) great. Giving California its Golden State name.

Ableton Live 11, Arturia MiniMoog, Soniccouture Pan Drum, Omnisphere, UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, FabFilters.

Golden

Been feeling emotional lately due to my grandmother's  health. Although she feels like a broken flower, I will always see her as the most beautiful flower 🌷. Because whenever she smiles she blossoms and fills the room with sunshine. ☀️

This song has been produced and dedicated to my incredible grandmother (Nana), who I love dearly with all my heart. 💖

My submission for this open collab from the great P a b l o.
@pablomoretti

The original percussion was so well done that I opted to leave it pretty much intact, then allow it to inform and inspire the music I wrote for it.

Lyrics:

Forgotten. this morning.
it never gave fair warning.
the flowers in paper,
but I'm still water vapour.
it's okay, you tell me,
but there's nothing to quell me.
afraid of my shadow
so come again tomorrow.

Isn't it glorious?
Sincerely.
Doesn't this moment smell alive?
I saw the whole world made from petals.
I saw the reason we survive.

the clicks of deciding,
the hand that you are guiding
so dearly. So nearly
but I can't see me clearly.
I'm laying here,
you're laying here
waiting for faith to reappear.
til my lifeboat
sails from your throat.
And I hear you say...

Isn't it glorious?
Sincerely.
Doesn't this moment smell alive?
I saw the whole world made from petals.
I found the reason we survive.

Yūgen (Nic Evennett and Classical Glass as Cellar Door)

Moving quietly through the sky, varying all the time, forming, shrinking. Come from and go to invisibility.

This pandemia shut me down from my friends & peers, and my life became trapped in a bottle in the middle of the sea of loneliness....

LOST IN A SEA OF LONELINESS

Sometimes life seems to be 
Trapped in a bottle lost in the sea
Somedays a bird comes to me
Just to sing what I have to be
And the wind opens my door
To let the secrets take me to the moors
And all I know is that I want more
Of your love to push me to the shores
Oh yeah!

If only the waves were my dreams
I wouldn´t feel as it seems
My solitude is like a beam
And I can´t even scream!
How can I get out of this bottle?
I know that I´m lost in my castle
My life feels unsettle
I´m nobody´s apostle
Oh no! no, no

We´re lost in sea of loneliness
Lost in a sea of loneliness
Lost in a sea of loneliness

Sometimes life seems to be 
Trapped in a bottle lost in the sea
And the wind opens my door
To let the secrets take me to the moors
And all I know is that I want more
Of your love to push me to the shores

LOST IN A SEA OF LONELINESS (Alfonso Llorente)

Do You?

This tune came out of a wonderful convergence (happy accident); my collaboration with @devin-locke on "Theme and Variations" and a renewed interest in the painting of Bob Ross. One of the variations I became so taken with, I wanted to develop it into a full track using the original steel string voice of the collaboration then adding nylon string to enlarge the melody line.  "Happy Accidents" was a favorite saying of Bob Ross as he would go about his painting on Public Television.  I saw how it applied to me in how I have composed guitar music over the years;  the unexpected note or chord I first thought a mistake became a turning point for a phrase or melody line.  Some would call it "serendipity", for Bob Ross it was a "happy accident".  If you listen closely toward the beginning, you can hear my granddaughter Lily in the background, a bit of a cameo and very much a happy accident:)

Happy Accidents (For Bob Ross)

A little rant on what is happening to humanity these days. IMHO. 
Opted for a raw sort of sound for this one.

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Lots of friends on social media,  noone’s talking noone’s listening
Why is it more people,  feel alone and dejected
Common sense not so common,  talking about decency
Where’s the courage and resolve,  to stand up for what’s right

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Respect and kindness,  should come naturally
Instead self serving, lies and egos,  drive daily life
Leaders with no shame, no heart,  no sense of compassion
Oblivious to world needs,  and the plight of humanity
 
Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Don’t give in to fear,  intimidation and complacency
Rise up, be good and just,  to everyone you meet
Race, color and culture,  shouldn’t drive hate and violence
Time on earth is brief,  wake up for humanity

Whatever happened, To empathy and decency
Whatever happened, To respect and equality
Whatever happened, To honesty and kindness
Whatever happened, To humanity

Whatever Happened
