Voilà un musique que respire bien ! Mais il me faudrait plus de temps pour tout entendre et comprendre.

I enjoyed listening Gary, it's lovely....

Great setup for the "imaginistic" tones and rhythmical assertions to follow Gary. Stellar work.

Calm flowing musical space. Provides space to breath. Really effective!

Wonderful floating keys, like an eager, curious little river, heading with full passion through valleys and forests for its path to the great sea...

Your piano is so free...could fly for hours mon ami!

A new song.........I have always wanted to write a tune about how calm and peaceful I feel when I am around water . The inspiration for this song came after viewing a beautiful photo of a a lake in the evening moonlight. So here you go.........😊🎸🎼🎶

Lyrics:

Peaceful waters calm and flowing
Soothing and refreshing
The calmness of the water
Relaxing my inner soul

Reflections and colors
Sparkling like the stars
They twinkle in the night sky
I feel one in the universe

The moonlight is glowing
Reflecting on the water
The gentle wind is blowing 
Through the trees and the leaves

The rippling waves creating circles
Pleasant thoughts within my mind
Breathing in and breathing out
The calmness I desire
The calmness I desire
The calmness I desire

If I Don't Be There In The Morning

"Cold" - A retro -futuristic, romantic track about coming out of the colder days of your life.
May you always have a warm and safe place next to your loved ones!
Big hugs, Jordana and Tom aka MOON AND ARIES.
 
"It's cold, and it's too late but I see the light 
It's cold, in the middle of nowhere I watch it all go by 
If I can't save you 
No one else will save you 
And I don't wanna leave you behind 
If you can't believe me 
Then you'll never see me 
And I'm not about to lie 
It's cold, hold my hand and we'll cross the line 
It's cold, dark and lonely as we come back to life
If I can't love you 
No one else will love you 
As much as I 
And I will be here 
Is there anybody out there
Silence pulses thru the night 
It's cold - It's cold 
From the frozen depths of my sins 
Coming to the surface I'll face my soul 
In the mist I pray for a better day, crystalize,  and escape from the cold
It's cold and I know that now is the time 
It's cold and I want your comfort right by my side 
If I can't love you 
No one else will love you 
As much as I 
And I will be here 
Is there anybody else there 
As we come back to life 
It's cold - It's cold..."

It's that time again folks.

Here's our annual Christmas offering.

Music and performed by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

Intro

It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time

It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time

Fires burning brightly feels so warm and content
Cards along the mantelpiece which old friends have sent
Time for celebration, it's Christmas time

Santa Claus is coming; he’s well on his way
Rudolf and his friends pull along his sleigh
Time for celebration, it's Christmas time

Chorus

It’s Christmas time and all is well
Can you hear that Christmas bell
Ringing out as life goes on
Merry Christmas everyone

Break

And very soon I'm sure the snow will fall
And a snow-white Christmas will be had by all

Brightly coloured presents piled under the tree
Carol singers singing their sweet melodies
Time for celebration, it's Christmas time.

It's Christmas Time (Cooper/Donkin/Granthem Collaboration)

Hambone Exotica

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Ich erinner’ mich an Nächte
Die kein Morgen haben wollten
An die Stimme, die mir sagte
Dass ich längst zerbrechen sollte

Meine Hände hielten Zweifel
Wie ein Kind sein liebstes Spielzeug
Und die Angst wuchs still wie Efeu
Der mein Herz umschlang als Zeuge

Doch ein Funke, klein und leise
Weigerte sich zu verglühen
Trug mich weiter, Schritt für Schritt
Durch das Dunkel, durch das Mühen

Nicht weil ich die Kraft noch hatte
Nein, ich fand sie erst im Gehen
Jede Träne, die ich weinte
Ließ mich klarer weiter sehen

Und der Weg war lang und steinig
Doch ich hab’ nicht aufgehört
Voller Zuversicht zu träumen
Von ’nem Herz, das mir gehört

Ich steh’ hier nach großen Mühen
Mit der Hand auf meiner Schulter
Nicht perfekt, doch endlich ganz
Und mein Stolz strahlt etwas bunter

Nicht mit Fanfaren will ich feiern
Nur ein Atemzug genügt
Ich hab’s geschafft, ich bin hier oben
Und mein Herz, es ist vergnügt

Die Erinnerung an Momente
Wo Aufgeben so verlockend schien
Wie ein weiches Bett am Abend
Das mich rief: Gib auf, lass los

Doch ich blieb, ich blieb im Stehen
Auch wenn alles in mir schrie
Denn ich wusste tief in mir:
Diese Flamme stirbt hier nie

Die Stärke, die ich fand in mir
In den Momenten größter Schwäche
Führte mich direkt zum Ziel mit dir
Als wenn die Welt aus den Fugen bräche

Jeder Schritt war eine Antwort
Auf die Frage: Schaff’ ich das?
Und ich steh’ hier als Beweis dafür
Dass ich mehr bin als ich weis

Ich steh’ hier nach großen Mühen
Mit den Narben meiner Reise
Jede einzelne erzählt
Von dem Mut in meiner Weise

Und ich sag’ mir sanft ins Ohr
Du hast es wirklich gut gemacht
Nicht weil alles perfekt lief
Sondern weil du nicht aufgegeben hast

Nicht das Ziel allein hat Wert
Jeder Schritt war pures Gold
Ich klopf mir auf die Schulter heut’
Weil ich mich endlich selber mag
Auch wenn dein Feed nur Sieger zeigt
Du bist genug, genau so wie du bist

In der Stille nach dem Sturm
Find’ ich endlich meinen Frieden
Bereit für neue Wege
Die das Leben mir beschieden

Bereit für das nächste Kapitel

English:
I remember nights
That seemed to have no tomorrow
The voice that told me
I should have broken down long ago

My hands held doubt
Like a child holds its favorite toy
And fear grew silently like ivy
Enveloping my heart as a witness

But a spark, small and quiet
Refused to burn out
Carried me on, step by step
Through the darkness, through the struggle

Not because I still had the strength
No, I only found it as I went along
Every tear I cried
Let me see more clearly

And the road was long and rocky
But I didn't stop
Full of confidence, dreaming
Of a heart that belongs to me

I stand here after great struggles
With a hand on my shoulder
Not perfect, but finally whole
And my pride shines a little brighter

I don't want to celebrate with fanfare
Just one breath is enough
I made it, I'm up here
And my heart is happy

The memory of moments
When giving up seemed so tempting
Like a soft bed in the evening
That called to me: Give up, let go

But I stayed, I remained standing
Even though everything inside me screamed
Because I knew deep down:
This flame will never die here

The strength I found within myself
In moments of greatest weakness
Led me straight to my goal with you
As if the world were falling apart

Every step was an answer
To the question: Can I do this?
And I stand here as proof
That I am more than I know

I stand here after great effort
With the scars of my journey
Each one tells
Of the courage in my way

And I whisper softly in my ear
You did really well
Not because everything went perfectly
But because you didn't give up

It's not the goal alone that has value
Every step was pure gold
I pat myself on the back today
Because I finally like myself
Even if your feed only shows winners
You are enough, just the way you are

In the silence after the storm
I finally find my peace
Ready for new paths
That life has in store for me

Ready for the next chapter

The third movement of the orchestral suite "The Life and Death of a Corsican." This woman's fate was fantastic. But was she happy?

«Joséphine». Op.19-3. (2018).

Chapter 256 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of consciousness and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

Here's to the State of Donald J. Trump

Here's to the hackers of Vladimir Putin
Who rules the world through cyber war in a kleptocratic form
Made a deal with Manafort, Kushner, Page and Flynn
Working with Julian at Wikileaks, it was the beginning of this coup

Here's to the land, you tore out the heart of
Vladimir Putin find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the government of Stephen K Bannon
Who led the online platform Breitbart, serving the alternative right
Learning from Evola and Dugin, he deconstructs our nation
His racist, sexist policies is what we need to fight

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Stephen Bannon, find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the land of Donald J. Trump
Who has no informed opinions on how to improve our lives
Making decisions like reality TV, without any moral compass
Autocratic will to power that is built upon his lies

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Donald J. Trump, find yourself, another country to be a part of

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Donald J. Trump, find yourself, another country to be a part of

ROBOT RECALL

The Selflessness of Rivers and Streams has always Inspired me.       
Yeah... they nourish and bless everything they touch on their journey to the Sea, asking nothing in return but to Flow.
 
However... there are times when they find themselves Kissed by the Sun and can't help but Gleam with Appreciation.  :-)

And what they must see on their way to the Sea is surely a Tale to be told. Perhaps this musical flow might suggest a few other images to your minds. :) Have a Listen on 'Repeat' and see what happens.

Gleam... and Flow

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life as well as 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 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 *+*
