Such a peaceful and harmonious composition !

Great piece, simply wonderful, beautiful harmnonies and mix 👌👌

A great piece of music. I really enjoyed this :-)

This is a beautiful meditation with ever-so-gentle bluesy phrases and subtle dissonances.  The piano sound complements your style perfectly.

This can go on forever, the tones have such depth and character.  Very beautiful music! :)

This is a wonderful walk. Thoughtful and expansive

I heard a politician say he wants to bring us back to 1952.
But I'd rather living here living in the present with you.
1952 I'd rather be living here in the present with you.

Father comes home every evening. Looking so debonair. He puts I Love Lucy on the TV set and lies around in his underwear. Empty beer cans strewn about. It’s the antithesis of Better Homes and Gardens. He lights up another cigarette and inhales the hydrocarbons. And he scratches his belly and he says to himself life is good I should feel blessed. But there’s a twinge of pain in his stomach and lately work has got him stressed.

I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952. I’d rather living here in the present with you. The old people reminisce about all the things they miss.  I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952.  
Mother has her hair up in curlers. As she cleans up the household mess. And when her husband comes home tonight she’ll greet him in a pretty dress. She reads good housekeeping diligently looking for the latest advice. But sometimes she feels like a character who’s living in a fool’s paradise. And  she’s striving for an ideal that is impossible to achieve. And there’s an itch that she keeps on scratching but there’s no way to relieve.

Nice houses in the suburbs.  Bomb shelters in every backyard.  People driving their American built gas guzzlers down the boulevard.

Junior wears his coonskin cap and he likes to shoot his BB gun. He used to play cowboys and Indians but now fighting communists is more fun. At school the kids practice duck and cover so they can survive the H bomb. In ten more years if he survives he’ll be fighting off in Vietnam. And sometimes he has nightmares where he dreams about the start of world war three. Cause lately it feels like he might be living through the end of history.

I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952. I’d rather living here in the present with you. It may have been good for some. But not for everyone. I’m glad I wasn’t around in 1952.

1952

Black sky / Only peace

Watch the devils
They tell me to run
When the devils tell me to run
Put your hand upon my face
Only peace, only peace 
shows me how to reach the shore
Tell me how long I've been away 
And where I’ve been before
Only peace, only the peace 
I'm looking for but cannot find it
Put your hand upon my face
When the devils tell me to run

Let me hear your voice that brings salvation
Only peace, only peace 
When you´re in despair
When your words remain inside 
When you´ve already forgotten how to speak
Only peace, only peace
When the demons conjure, curse, swear
Let me hear your voice that brings salvation

Let me feel your love
Only love, only love 
Heals us when we sink into the blood 
Of wounds that they has given us 
And we stagger on
Yeah, we stagger on
Only love, only love
When a thousand devils tell me to run
They tell me to run and run
Only love, only love
When the devils tell me to run
When the devils tell me to run

Put your hand upon my face
Only peace, only peace 
Shows me how to reach the shore
Tells me how long I've been away 
And where I’ve been before
Only peace, only the peace 
Only peace, only the peace 
Put your hand upon my face
Put your hand upon my face
While the devils tell me to follow

I'm continuing to explore the tones and flow that come to me whilst improvising on my ES7 Stage Piano. I hope you'll flow along with me as they unfold moment by moment.

So Thankful to be alive and able to create and share.

May you enJOY!

Reflections are blurred where identity begins. Each piece draws changing contours of thought as it looks to itself, fractured, multiplied, reensambled in silence. What listens through the gaze, which takes after the idea fades, is the secret of the mirror: a memory that develops before perception, beyond the form.

Year of Music: June 6, 2015

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 *+*
