Amazing & sophisticated Jonathan. I love your work 🙏🏽

highly cinematic.  most beautiful.  the guitar makes me think of Wild at Heart.  

an amazing feeling of suspension is created here somewhere between something

I enjoy these expressive pieces quite a lot

I love the unique tension that something is about to happen! Great guitar representation!

Unity

Don't give me your body if I can't have your soul 
Struggle to find something to fill this hole 
I get high because I feel so low 
People you've gotta try not to be so cold....to your brotha

Don't let those rumors contaminate your mind 
The truth will free you of this bondage in time 
People come together, you've gotta do it quick 
You've gotta care for your brother when he gets sick
You’ve gotta stand firm, join hands and help someone
You can only regret what you have not done

Come together, Jah Love, Come together children

—Chorus—
We need Peace, We need Love, We need Unity
 Down with hate, down with violence, down with brutality

We've turned guns each other every day and night 
Nobody even remembers what is wrong and what is right 
The government argues with them self to avoid any resolution 
People need hope so they cry revolution

Come together, Jah Love

—Chorus— 

—Bridge—
You, you, me, me, All we need is Unity
Peace, Love, You, Me, All we need is Unity
Unity and Love

Greed is a disease of the mind and the soul
Only culture may save us from losing control
Children must seek the truth, don’t hesitate
You’ve got the power to save this world from certain fate
One man is weak, community stands firm
Educate your brother and the world will learn

Come together, Jah Love, One Nation, I-ration!

—Chorus—

Train to Scandinavia Is an album of new age, electronica and ambient music recorded entirely on sleeper trains and hotels in Scandinavia during an 18 day round trip from England to the Arctic by train. It captures the atmospheric and beautifully haunting landscapes of the far north during the winter months.

Scandinavia

It's like the warm embrace of a true self, at last emerging from a long winter of alienation; an ode to radical authenticity and unabashed self-expression; a gentle reminder of the richness and interconnectedness of the human heart. To an increasingly cold and complex world, this waltz answers with simplicity and warmth—an expression of personal beauty and longing for connection, reaching out to other contemplative souls. It is the latest composition from Utah-based neoclassical pianist Daniel Driskill.

Galaxies.
A new single by Jude with Lemonade.
Thanks to Lemonade for one of the best lyrics I've ever read, and for her voice! Here are the lyrics...

GALAXIES
are you dreaming tonight?

tossing and turning
in galaxies so bright
your star ships rotating in the light

the sun is so much brighter
out here

all the mirrors pointing
in the stratosphere

all the energy of stars
travel
they travel
they're shining here
tonight..

galaxies are spinning into each other
tonight

black holes kissing
black holes
spinning tunnels of light

is this what you’re dreaming tonight?

oh how I wish

oh how I wish the stars would come down

tell me how they started
this time around

every moment
we are twisting

I just want to know
what they’re twisting about….

is this what you’re dreaming about?

all this glowing dust
that shapes the void?

all these galaxies
all the stars we know nothing about
is this what you’re losing sleep over?

all the places we will never see
all the space
all the stars..

they’re glowing…nothing you see is here
a thousand years ago
you should go to sleep....
they’re just memories you know

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

I’ll give you a minute
Then maybe an hour
But I don’t like the look of you
Or your ivory tower
Are you a candidate?
You don’t smell of the street
The pavement don’t suit you
Trips up your feet

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

There’s rain in the forecast
There’s time in your eyes
Flags in the furlough
Waived by the wise
The church door was open
Granite and still
The boys went in
And the pigeon came out

I'll give you a minute
It won't hurt for long, oh no
I'll give you a minute

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you

A couple of years ago I dedicated this song to Sandra. After listening she said: "Mmm, yes, nice, but I prefer another piece, that one that you let me listen a few months ago".
Damn sincerity! :)))

Lately i decided to record it again with a different arrangement, this is the new one.
But this time I'm not sure i'll let her listen again :)))

Here you can find the other previous version, the "rejected" one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhvv6Rw2zWo

The other piece, her favorite, was this:  https://soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/la-danza-della-lontananza

Take Me to Another World

I tell you….after this daily yo-yo….up and down…..total contradictions and craziness of governments and the medias, I need something light and happy to make me smile. 
So close your eyes….empty your minds…..let go of the outside world, and for around 4 minutes, enjoy some happy cheerful vibes. Enjoy and smile. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
