You Went Back Home

la_rose_rouge

This heartfelt sketch for Piano and Strings is born out of a recent Improvisation that seeks to suggest the power and passion of Love's eternal nature. Impossible to do perhaps, yet if it is freely expressed... Love seems to travel like Light and bind giver and receiver together in a warm, rich, and almost unfathomable Oneness. 

So, here's to what is called 'Forever Love', and may everyone find it!  💖

Love Is Forever

Please check out the version that includes vocal, where I also used a vocal synthesizer "Bad Man".
Thanks Laszlo

I made this music with an electric guitar, a Moog Sub Phatty, and an Arturia Pigment synthesizer, using the capabilities and instruments of the Ableton 11. Some of the drums were made based on a sound sample. I wanted to make a fusion music - originally. Listen if you like it - like it!

Hiya folks,

Time to change up my flow, Listeners. 😉

I realize I've only been posting  Ambient-Jazz Improvisations with my friend and guitarist Tim Elliot for the past few months, so now it's time for one of my Ambient Solo Piano Improvs.  

So here's my latest exploration of the sound and flow my Kawai ES7 Electric Concert Piano gives me access to. And while there is always something that folks feel is worth complaining about or being offended by... as usual, my focus is on 'the Beauty' in this Life!  

So may you enJOY both. 😉

The photo is not a Sunrise, my friends.
It's a Moonrise over Denmark, with Crepuscular Moon Rays radiating into the evening sky.

The Beauty

Awakens this video https://youtu.be/3b__QrjTi3Q and others of mine on Youtube from their slumber, please 😁

This is the fourth part of the actually completed trilogy/album: The Sovereign & The Chambermaid - https://on.soundcloud.com/VEvX

The maid - the sovereign lord's former mistress - has come into possession of volatile documents that could compress the lord's entire stately family....
So the story continues?

"Bleeding Hearts!"

＊This work is made by overdubbing my guitar playing (mainly chord work) to winkandwoo and The Turtle Project(TTP) 's work "Hold The Line".Thanks to Winkandwoo and TTP for accepting my proposal.

 The reason why I worked on this work this time is because I want to sing and play with everyone.Therefore, I prepared a simple sheet music with lyrics and chords. There is a link above.

This work is probably one of the "protest songs". If I were to compare it to John Lennon's work, I think it would be "Give Peace A Chance." Yes, there are gems that confront discrimination, oppression, and prejudice, denounce injustice, and sing against war, and this is one of them. And not just to protest, but to sing together to "express your determination, clarify your way of life, question society, and lead to reform".

When winkandwoo released this work, I thought he was a great vocalist, singing a lot of important things and weights in the lyrics of "No need for guns, no need to fight".

And now many lament: "Ukraine is my country. Russia is my country. The country is killing my country." Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced from their homes, saying most people crossing the border from Russia don't want to kill people and don't want to serve this government. There is a movement to stigmatize this movement by branding it as a "traitor" and to use public power to contain it. I think protest songs play an active role here. Their lives and livelihoods are with us.

I hope that this song will help mankind break away from the "gun society" where mass shootings occur frequently, and that it will help all those who refuse military service in Russia. And I hope that this song will help unite Russian citizens against the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops and all citizens who support the Russian Revolutionary Movement.

【Palm Muting】Also, for those who are practicing guitar, I think that this work will be a teaching material for effectively playing scales using open strings while playing low chords. This time I'm playing Palm Muting all the way through. Below are some video examples that may help you. I searched on youtube. Use this technique to sing while playing the guitar.

In the 16 bars starting from Am above, there are three short guitar improvisations. I recorded each one as if it was played by a different type of guitar player. I would like you to listen to that part as well :)

Another composition recorded before the war. I hope one day I will return to my home studio. Any support from you is much appreciated on these extremely hard times for our country, our family. 
I could have recorded much new music for the last 9 months... unless russians came to our yard to "save" us with their tanks, missiles, bombs and war planes at 4 a.m. on Feb 24th. And yes, they saved us from our house, from our normal life, from our dreams and plans. They saved my elderly parents from their home and peaceful life in retiring, saved my daughter from happy childhood, from school, from her friends and vacation by the sea. We'll never forget and never forgive it! I'm sure that russia will get what it deserves - each rocket they launch on Ukraine will turn to another 10 years of disaster for their cowardly people.
 Special thanks to Houman (@houmans) for mastering the track! Please check out his wonderful soundtracks.

la Maggior parte della mia musica è ad improvvisazione, suono ad orecchio e amo la natura, ed è proprio questo che mi dà la vera ispirazione a comporre alcune melodie che hanno come protagonista il rispetto e l’amore per ciò che questa ci ha regalato....se tutti noi amassimo un po' di più la natura che è l’elemento di primaria importanza  che ci tiene in vita, avremmo sicuramente un mondo migliore

in my thought
