From the Bill Seaman /Stephen Spera album, "Architectures of Light "  ( Handstitched, England, 2022 ). The voice was recorded by Stephen Spera in South Africa a long time ago....his friend Miriam was a member of the Tswana Tribe, hence the title. Steph asked her to sing a 'traditional song' and the piece she sang was actually an Episcopalian Hymn, altered through the years by her tribe.........
  ..."Seaman and Spera create beautiful, intricate spaces for exploration and for rest. In the closing tracks, “Dusk Till Dawn” and “Tswana Dreaming,” the world opens and possibilities unfold. Grace is tenuous, but the moment is seized on Architectures of Light as two artists build something exceptional and new.”
 -Foxy Digitalis

A Shade of Blue

A Shade of Blue Revisited: Collaboration

4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt, loving your wife who gives birth to your child will always have the same spiritual meaning even in 2025.

QUEEN OF THE NILE

Midnight ride she reaches down to feel my beat..

MIDNIGHT

This piece started again, as often is the case, with me experimenting on the organ. My daughter was intrigued with it when she heard me playing with it, and said it has film noir vibes, which influenced the rest of the composition as it gave me a target, a clear vision of where it was going.

Another version will come, hopefully soon, as a collaboration with some of my friends whom you may already be familiar with from other songs on my channel, which will replace some of the virtual instruments you will hear in this demo version with real instruments, namely, drums and bass, and probably add some additional surprises.

Releasing this version was not in my plans, but after hearing from three separate people that this version should not change, it is done, I have decided to release this one separately from the coming collaboration, so you can hear it exactly as I originally imagined it. Of course, I fully expect the collaboration will be better still, as it always is when bringing multiple talents together, instead of just me in an echo chamber.

I hope you will enjoy listening, and thanks as always.
