The Flying Flute

Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ.

New music, composition, encompassing , the vocals of 'the original song, Danse Danse': Kadish, Lucas, Scott, Slater (Apra/Amcos 2022)

David Lucas and his late father, Bill Lucas, an acclaimed Sydney architect attended my voice workshops held by the "Once Extra Dance Company" back in the "80's". Adventurous , creative souls with no holds barred on what was the beginnings of Danse Danse. It was then called "Dance Out Of Beat" and was a commentary on the club scene that I'd very much been a part of in the "60's" In recent times I invited Annette Scott on board who has brought it brilliantly to fruition along with my longtime collaborator, Jazz pianist/composer, Kirk Kadish. Now we have a new take on the current dance scene with a touch of empowerment as to who has the final moves.

“NOTHING TO LOSE is the 3rd song with the saxophone support of soulful, wonderfully gifted saxophone player Joko Magic (Hanna M.). We have the other two songs "Traffic" and "A Love Revival" in the style of smooth jazz, funk soul and retro RnB - and now we are releasing song number three in this style! 
NOTHING TO LOSE has been the mantra for our Moon and Aries musical journey from day one. To take risks and to go all in. Because there is much more meaning and good stuff when you do so. You win no matter what, when you honor your deepest passion and embrace a huge reason why your eyes open every morning.”

PS: With another visual artistic collaboration with the amazing "carainaae" back with her brilliant pen work for this cover art!

This track is about a man who can’t change his life because of loss. Many years later he thinks about what could have been. 
I was really interested to write a story for this song. 

Music video out on Friday - You Tube and TikTok

I play the piano on this song and it’s recorded on an iPad.

Whisper Lyrics

Here is a man 
With his head in his hands 
Falls from his fingers
Golden yellow sands 
These are the grains 
Of his life passing by
How quickly it went 
And he starts to cry

His life
What had he done
Buried his head
Forgotten his son 
These years had gone 
Melted away
Held out his hand
For his wife to stay 

Here is a man
With his head in his hand
A life of pain
Full of demand
All he wanted 
Was a future of peace
His head hurt so much
When would it cease 

There was a man
Now just spirit and soul
Together again with his wife 
Now his heart is whole 

There was a man
Now just spirit and soul
Together again with his wife 
Now his heart is whole 

His life
What had he done
Buried his head
Forgotten his son 
These years had gone 
Melted away
Held out his hand
For his wife to stay
