Original song I wrote in 2021. Inspired by yes..A girl in a red sweater:) The picture was from a gig I played at around 11 years ago now on Valentines Day on a back patio of a bbq joint in Burnet TX.  Time flies! Hope you enjoy this live take I did tonight of this, it was my first take and although its full of flaws, unlike my second take, I liked it better because it had more expression and energy, always a fun melody to play.  Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

Red Sweater

When I met you 
Red sweater
Oh those emerald eyes
Life quickly got better
Take me with you 
I've no future
Like the stars on oceans 
You really do shimmer
Weeks have gone by
Feels like a few years
I've never laughed so much 
My heart is switching gears

For you 
For you 

Oh we took the long road
After dinner
Sunset on your skin
Nothing else could matter
When I got home
You just lingered
All throughout my mind
My heart has been triggered
Day by day now 
First time with no fear
Close my eyes your picture
My heart in highest gear

For you
For you

I see the world really shine
When your hand sinks in mine
Capable of stopping time 
Never thought I could make this climb
Something runs right down my spine
In those moments I feel you're mine

Oooo  ohhhh ohhhh

My heart has fallen, my heart has fallen

For you 
For you 
For you 
For you

Red Sweater (Original song live)

File Updated: Day mode in. Powerful angry vocal the way it should be since its directed at the worlds maga scum. They make nothing great except their own ego's in their own heads. NOW america is a little greater with this LOVE!


Lyrics

Watch out!
There's a lier about.
It can explain none

It's TV of doubt
It's motives' to stun
The confusion weapon
Who needs right when all in all is wronged

You got your cult
Waco went national
Now burn crying wolf
Evolution likes natural

Mute your maga mouth
You sold us out
You're the cult of country
Shade for the sun
73 million seeds of lying scum
Blinded and 'free'
Smell of singe
Bullshit bubbles burn
Inferno till we're free
it's ok... We'll tell the kids
Burn baby burn...

Watch out Lier about

Bird Song
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
artificially enhanced using SUNO 

Lyrics:

I saw a bird in the treetop,
I saw a bird the other day,
And I tried to catch the bird,
But the little bird flew away.
The little bird flew away.

So I took my gun from the rack,
And I spotted the bird in the air,
And I lined it up with my scope,
And the little bird is no longer there,
And the little bird is no longer there.

So eat your sparrow soup,
And eat it right up,
And let’s give thanks to the Lord above,
For sparrow soup in a cup,
For sparrow soup in a cup.

Bird Song

Across Endless Space
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
artificially enhanced using SUNO

Lyrics

There are times I dream
While others sleep
Reaching for stars
Out of an open mind.

Reaching for something,
Across this infinite space. 
A galaxy of others,
All keeping their faith,
Dreaming together. 
Reaching together.

Interlude

And for a moment,
I feel a touch,
Then another,
As though a  search
Has found mine,
Across endless space, 

Across endless space. 

I can't stop dreaming,
I can't stop reaching,
Someone is waiting,
Someone is calling.

Across endless space.

Across Endless Space

A song about what it was like to be a teenager with "autistic traits", without understanding why nothing seemed to align with the majority.

[Verse 1]
I am Christine, with borrowed air,
lost in hallways lined with eyes.
Tried to speak, but silence wins—
my thoughts too loud, my mouth too shy.

With Borrowed Air [I Am Christine]

Torvysl_02

I was told today that I had been the 
devil's prey...
that evil eyes and hexes follow me everywhere everyday
that jobs and friends and money were 
taken by the eye...the eye
of envy jealousy and pride
yea
excuse me queen for ur cup I just 
knocked over
sometimes I go blind
as justice is with lovers
and I extend my grace...if ur ready to face
the judgement U give to others
and have U met my friends
laying on the floor so humble in their
hunger...they gnaw upon the bones
of the multitude by numbers
yea
and some insist that we have souls
but not the beasts or trees or 'others'
but...truth is we are the ether...yea
excuse me queen for ur cup I just 
knocked over
sometimes I go blind
as justice is with lovers
and I extend my grace...if ur ready to face
the judgement U give to others

Humble In Their Hunger

I wrote this in the age of 19 for guitar. This is a variation of it.

Latest Updates: 
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic.

All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set.

If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
