Beyond Forgetting is a piece written for my mother while going through the stages of chemo brain.  The forgetting, the lack of recall, wishing for things that no longer existed... Twenty-five years of suffering until finally passing away at age 89.  She was so loved and well-taken care of during this time. We as family had a longing of what once was in her life and ours.  Humbleness is perhaps the gift that was most learned during this time.  For there was no opportunity for selfishness, but simply showing love to a dear, dear beautiful mother.

Beyond Forgetting

My daughter's quote...






























"Angels talking through your music....."

I hope you will enjoy listening......

Thank you for your time here....

A very warm welcome. Thank you for listening. So many great composers and songwriters inspire me including the work and encouragement of the contributors here on SoundCloud.

A musician writing originals since 1972. I still write my own Lyrics and Music . I perform all the instruments you are hearing. (Guitars / Bass / Keyboards/ Percussion and  all Vocals ) I do use a drum program when the arrangements are too complex.

Recommended, use 🎧 to listen to my songs

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
