this meanders a lot and ends up feeling like each new place is exactly where it was meant to be!

Wonderful piece of improv, thoroughly enjoyed it 👍

Just listened to your old stuff.... pheeeeew....and I must say: great!

An August improvisation... a Quest of sorts. 
Why?
Well... sometimes one just can't help but reach out for something Beyond the MatriX.   :-D

I strained my wrist playing guitar while practicing a new piece I hope to post in a month or two. For us guitarists, holding a large stretch (in this case a 5 fret stretch on the third fret) for periods of time can cause problems! (Guitar players nodding their heads right now 😊). Anyhoo, I can’t play my guitar at the moment, so I decided to freshen up a short piece I had on SC from a few years ago. It’s very simple, a musical meditation, towards peace; the dove of peace carries this message, through many cultures and religions. Peace is needed now, more than ever. Hope you may spend 2 minutes with me to meditate. 
PS. Wasn't able to master this with clarity, so headphones/earphones best.

Peace Dove

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

Phat Landing

At the time of the birth of jazz, the role of the guitar was primarily as a rhythm instrument. I enjoyed this recording while remembering the lives of the great guitar players of the time, wondering what it would be like if we translated that atmosphere into a modern style. I am extremely grateful to Vocalatti and Mark Dorricot for agreeing to release this collaboration.

When I listened to this music work by Vocalatti&Mark Dorricott, I thought what a wonderful voice it was. And I was amazed by the piano playing. The bass and drums were cool. Yes, it was very natural for me to think that I could overlay my guitar playing on it. 

This time, I focused on playing the rhythm guitar, which is modest but has a strong presence.

I am honored to be able to release this collaboration here. Please enjoy Vocalatti's wonderful vocals and Mark Dorricott's excellent performance.

This recording does not include my solo guitar parts. My role is primarily to highlight the wonderful vocals and piano playing, but another reason is that I want my friends who are learning guitar to take this opportunity to experience the reality of blues playing. I would like them to try the following.

===============================================
The chord you are sensing while listening to this recording is probably Dm7/G/. That's certainly how I play my rhythm guitar this time. However, I believe that this wonderful work was clearly written for those seeking an introduction to the blues.So, while listening to this recording, let's play the chord progression shown here = D7/G7/ along with the song. A three-finger arpeggio would also work. I think that alone will make you feel a little strange. That's exactly the entrance to the blues. The more perfect this basic recording is, the more we want to play it on the D7/G7/. I would like each of you to listen to this recording thoroughly and experience the joy of playing the D7/G7/ together. If I am happy enough to reach a stage where I think everyone has enjoyed it, I will be able to move into more specific ways of playing the guitar with you in my own way.

 The D7 and G7 positions I recommend are in the link below.

I Bring The Noise - IPG1 & Paploviante

So much has happened in the World since I was last active on Soundcloud, nearly 3 years ago. The onslaught every day of so many people, animals and our precious Earth suffering, and no end in sight. I have been writing and painting how I feel, but my first recording is far from this, and of another time, a short, simple, and light offering for now.
I was born and raised in a small rural town that saw large amounts of snowfall in Winter, despite being the South of Scotland. We had plenty of hills to sledge down and no need to go to the Highlands. Through the years, in the many places I have lived in, my best walks were snow filled ones with the dogs, and in the mornings setting off when everything was pure and dazzling, and your whole body felt alive. The dogs would leap about so happy, and in turn affecting us, so that we were just as daft playing with them, totally energized! I give thanks for having had this.
This is for my beautiful wee Bridie, who died nearly 2 years ago.
Good to be with you all again on the Cloud!
Lyrics
Up with the lark and away we go
Treading so lightly in the snow
Skippin, and runnin, and jumpin so high
Scenting the air, as we touch the sky

Rollin and diving, and sliding away
Playing in a magical snow filled day
Skippin and runnin, and jumpin so high
Scenting the air, as we touch the sky

We play, all day, we play

Ooooh Ahhh
We're riding high today
Ooooh Ahhh
Love's shining all the way

Snow Skippin Days

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life and a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer,  as far as I'm concerned,  our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting up with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*
