Exquisite! Agree with Alan - you get this amazing almost orchestral musical vista - with the most minimal personnel and equipment! A really emotional and thoughtful journey. You guys must have to psyche yourselves up to produce this kind of work. Incredible.

Tu déploies bien ton univers musical, de belles idées.

soft and dreamy-that pic is the perfect mate!

Cool guitar playing. Great music production🎶🎶

Greetings friends and Listeners,

We love and Appreciate you all.  And today Tim Elliot & I are finally releasing our next track as the band Shekinah Fire*.  

It's called Beyond Belief * and it's an improvised Tone Poem, a harmonic flow created in the moment. It's our follow up to Shekinah Fire's first release, Radiations* @ https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/radiations-shekinah-fire

So we trust you'll Let Go, and let your Ears, Heart and Soul guide you in this epic sonic Journey. 
For a Journey it is. 
All 16 minutes of it!   :-D 

It's an Electric Symphonic piece for Electric Guitar & Stage Piano, and is comprised of several movements that proceed in waves.   

So please  immerse yourselves in the Flow and enJOY the Changes in Tone, Harmony, Timbre, and Intensity. 

And bear in mind that Tim and I are Improvising, and doing some very Deep Listening ourselves!  So deeply in fact, that we have almost completely forgotten ourselves to the point where the Music is playing us. May you do the same... as you let it transport you to Zones and Places and Spaces you've never experienced before.

May you go Beyond Belief, and enJOY !    :-D

Music created Live on my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano

Beyond Belief * by Shekinah Fire

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 *+*
