We Lost The Way (Lyrics by Vera Francis)

I used to believe in first love,
the one who left a mark on your heart

The one who was clean and pure as rain,
falling on a spring night

It will always be in my head,
like that song of ours

when used to dance it until dawn
getting wet in that rain

But now they are no longer that song that made us dream
of our love, of our love
(bis)

I still believe in first love,
even if It hurts and hurts

I will invoke what is inside,
of me over and over again

Until the wound heals it can
take a long time I know,

but it will be worth trying just,
to feel it inside of me again

All that has vanished like a very subtle ray, 
in our hearts,in our hearts
All that has vanished like a very subtle ray,
we lost the way,we lost the way

We're all we've got on SoundCloud my friends!✌️

Not too long ago, Mocha(pictured)😉 asked for some early 70's Jazz Funk mainly for his music listening reference and to share his Jazz Funk experience with y'all! As a Jazz Funk enthusiast, Mocha thought that he ain't got enough Jazz Funk! Spoiled cat! 😉

Tribute to legendary Jazz Master award winner Jimmy Smith (Jimmy was cats lover by the way) and his highly regarded West coast crew!

What happened on February 8, 1972 at the Bombay Bicycle Club, Los Angeles, California? It was rumored that invited guests including Donald Byrd on trumpet, Joe Farrell on tenor sax, Fred Wesley on trombone, Herbie Hancock on second keyboard, Billy Cobham on second drum-sets, Al Green lead male vocal, Nina Simone lead female vocal and Hot Buttered Soul Unlimited background vocal in addition to this live session! Shit didn't happen as venue promoters were low on cash plus potential legal challenges amongst records labels...etc, it would have been a f**king awesome session! 😉

Here's the timeline:
00:02 to 00:38 Introduction by Jimmy Smith (Unofficial) never before on vinyls or CDs 
00:00 to 00:46 Bluesy mood enhanced by St. Germain 👍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRvjSe6yBU&t=1s
00:46 to 11:28 Early jam session prompted by excessive Redbull consumption 😉
11:28 to 17:14 More Redbull consumed plus top quality Blunts 😉
17:14 to 24:52 Oh oh, low on Redbull, extremely low on Redbull and perhaps 30% THC found in those Blunts😱 
24:52 to 36:40 Redbull consumption resumed with Vodka, mucho Vodka added 😉 Root Down!
36:40 to 42:52 Redbull, Vodka consumption continued on with big help from high THC Blunts! 👍 Entire planet were feelin' happier knowing the 10 years senseless Vietnam war nearly ended! 😉 Yeah, let's stay together people! We're all we've got! Humanity rules! Wars suck! ☮️ 😉
42:52 to 52:54 Late jam session triggered by more Redbull Vodka mix happily consumed plus the introduction of Delta-8 Peace out!✌️Lol
52:54 to 64:56 Session ended with alternative version of Root Down! (Previously excluded from vinyls release)

Seriously😉, I was there with few crates full of Jazz Funk records hoping for a 2 hours after party DJ gig but shit didn't happen when studio, records label executives, venue promoters asked me same question "WTF do I know about Jazz Funk?" Besides all, bouncers said I was little too young to be inside the club & you know the rest of the story! To top it off, Mum said Jazz Funk was accountable for my Vodka, Lucky Strike non-filter cigarettes consumption and the use of made in U.S.A Zippo cigarettes lighter at my early age! 😉

Mixing, mastering notes: Raw 24/96 digital audio files continuously mixed using Sony Acid Pro 7 (without beats mapping and EQs involved = Spinning records on turntables without pitch, tempo controls and no DJ mixer)😱 
Final mix mastered with several different mastering specs for different listening environments! This version was specifically mastered for my car reference audio system and I hope it'll work with yours! Happy listening!

Walking

In Concept

In the night that covers the trees with blossoms,
I was frightened by sweet ghosts,
A round dance swung in the garden,
Which I crept upon with silent foot;
Like tender fairy chorus in the ring
A white, living shimmer went.
I boldly questioned the shadows:
Who are you, airy beings? Tell me!
- I am a little cloud, reflected in the lake. -
- I am a row of stumps in the snow. -
- I am a sigh up to heaven! -
- I am a secret, whispered in the ear! 
- I am a pious, dead child. -
- I am a luxuriant flowering plant -
And the one you choose, and to whom it is bestowed
The favor of the hour, she becomes a song.

Day 30. Wanted something with a little more energy for this one. I sang do re mi and put the whole thing into a simpler and sliced it. Played around a bit and transposed a few bits and this came together eventually. Had to trust my gut a bit, but I'm glad I did.

"Sadness & Adventure" is the main theme for my pixel art RPG.
A melancholic and mysterious ambiance, balancing calm and tension, written to accompany the player through a magical world shrouded in darkness.
Composed for a timeless adventure, this track reflects both the hero's solitude and the greatness of his mission.

This is a remaster/remix of the original song(s) I published. Very experimental and made by reusing my stems and tracks with Riffusion after multiple passes through other AI. May contain hallucinations/errors.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
