A peppy little tune written for my fourth granddaughter 11 years ago (she just turned 13) but newly arranged and recorded.  A distinctive feature heard throughout this song is the falling 3rd interval that sounds like I'm calling out her name which I do from time to time whenever I get to visit.  Hopefully it will put a little spring in your step:)

Calling Abby

Three Days and Three Nights

At 6:00 am, the world still seems fine.

☯️

In this Tune I tried to capture some innocent morning mood.

( like James Last did at 7:00 am.) 

Maybe it can be used as a peaceful wake up tone on an alarm-clock؟

Gotta Keep It Real - FRAWSTAKWA (prod. Assá)

Hello people, 

Delighted to share this recently recorded Improvisation with my dear friend, guitarist Tim Elliot. 😊 It's been over 6 months since we recorded 'Autumn Jam' and several other tracks. But you can still hear most of them in the following Playlists @ 
https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/sets/looking-up    and 
https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/sets/chilled-flowin

'Covid' and one thing or another kept us apart for it seemed an age, but finally... we were able to get together in Tim's living-room around a Stereo Microphone and get back in the saddle to resume our musical conversation.  😊 And btw, that's me on his Upright Heintzman piano. 😎

And yes, it's a long jam... 
But... hey, there are plenty of surprises throughout as tones and patterns rise to the surface and sparkle for a while ✨ then transform again. So do finish the journey with us, for as we both humbly noted at the end, "There's some good stuff in there." 😉

May you enJoy! 😎

So Good To Jam Again _ an Improv with Tim Elliot

THE SECRET OF REASON.

=================================

Some political events in my country during the year 2017 inspired this composition. I wanted it to be kind of hard and melodic at the same time. The base of the melody is a strong electronic harp

23 native instrument tracks from Music Studio and forum Xewton, and one track from kv331.

Made in 2017, mixed, edited in my car (Parked...) and composed on ipad (ipad mini, in this case).

Remixed and re-edited July 2022.

All the percussions of this theme and all the others are programmed without the use of preset samples. They are composed using each percussive sound independently on a track-by-track basis.

Thanks for listening and commenting.

Paco.

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 *+*
