A rough mix of what has been recorded so far.

A COOL, COOL BREEZE Cm 8IN 4X W Voice Synth + Heather

Over the last 3+ years, I have been composing and producing some original material. Due to my limited cognitive attention span, I spend time on one for awhile then move to another and then eventually back to the first one. I have now reached the point where I am lucky to have other musicians who would like to help in the creation process. So I am posting numerous works in progress here so they may have something to work with. I also figured other people might like to see & hear how the compositions advance thru the different levels of creation. Stayed tuned for updates!!!  :) 

APRIL SMILES AGAIN  C 8IN 3X 6TAG

Sometimes you need to just get back to the basic Blues and explore it in all keys! Yup, I got the idea from reading "Bird Lives" by Ross Russell. It seemed to work for Charlie "Bird" Parker. Thought I give it a shot with a real, down the river version. :) 

I created this backing track in F with a 24 bar intro, then 6 times thru, then 8 bar tag. Now I can just transpose this to all the other keys when I have enough mental energy. No, I won't be able to practice them 14 hours a day like "Bird" did, so it will just take me 20x more the number of years to get it down right. But the joy, is in doing something creative each day of our lives.  :)

The Blues always seems to make me smile.  :) :) :)

THE BLUES F 24IN 6X 8TAG

This composition was inspired by a picture of a section of Sue Averell's lastest paintng.

Added Heather Algar singing improvised ambient vocal lines and harmonies.

AVERELL PAINTING 1 ALGAR REMIX

Sometimes to relax, I give myself 30 minutes to just quickly paint with sounds and colors. I use samples, loops, VSTi's, Akai EWI and keyboard controller. Sometimes I then develop these further, with notation and acoustic instruments. Very healing and thought provoking at the same time.

EARLY MORNING - THE BEGINNING

This version of this track is the current tracking bed. Will be modifying and adding other instruments & voices over it. This is the current rendering straight out of Sibelius notation software.

Trying to recover from a stroke using music and art. There are so many things that I can no longer do, but I try to stay focused on the many little things I can do.
