It's curious how the sound is just slightly bitter. The musicality is evident, so it's a subtle flavour rather than a flaw of some kind.

You created a fantastic and magical atmosphere...love it !

Come back for some more of your craft 🔥❤️🔥i really like the atmospherics you create 🔥🔥🔥

A wonderfully relaxed consideration of the slowness of life. Really cool. ;)

Some brilliant Noodling Jonathan--such wonderful tone and timber :)

Lyrics:
So far away
I am sitting here
And you are sitting there 
So far away
I ´m here on my own 
And youre there on your own
So far away
You´re my shiny star
I love you from far
So far away
One day you´ll be here
Take me in your arms
now you´re far away.

Grace

I almost chose the name "Free Agent" for this track b/c it maybe would better describe my playing, meaning e.g. that I do not always see the borders between different music genres or styles as very decisive for my playing and in music generally. That is why I for example earlier made a version of the Albinoni/Giazzotto Adagio in G Minor orchestrated for Rhodes electric piano sound.

I first came to know the acid jazz genre especially through the giants Jamiroquai, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies in the mid-1990's and before that through the Australian band Directions In Groove (D.I.G.). I most certainly am not a trained jazzer but that did not stop me from trying to make an improvised "smooth acid jazz" track. Played by me with my Korg SGProX digital piano using the following sounds: the Lounge Lizard EP-4 (the top class Rhodes electric piano and lead sounds), the Scarbee Jay-Bass (played from near the bridge) and the unbelievable Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drummer. The basic drum groove made by me. I tried to decrease the "boxiness" of the kick drum and bring out the bite of the bass but I don't know whether I managed...

Edit: Mastered with Ozone on September 29, 2023.

Just Hangin'

This song is a tribute to beautiful lives cut short. Back in November 2022 last year three University of Virginia football players were shot and killed by a former teammate as they returned from a trip to see a play in Washington DC. It happens all too often in this country. These three were outstanding young men much loved and mourned by the community.

The amazing Ceci Wynans paid tribute in song at their memorial service:  https://youtu.be/VLA6biZDTx0

The art is a painting by D'Sean Perry, one of the three young men lost. 

This is song is sung from the imagined perspective of their parents.

Brother Gone

I still see a little boy running hiding from me and laughing then
I'd like to think that losing you had some higher reason in the end
but how can anyone know how hard it is to let you go

you were the one who always knew everything is in God's hands
but you're not here and it's so hard to understand

just look at all these people standing here
calling out your name
this would be the happiest day of my life if you were here by my side
instead all I've got is this heartbreak and pain

how was I to know it'd be the last time
that I'd see your shining face next to mine
they can take away the good years that should've been yours to claim
but they'll never take away the good man you became

I'll always see a little boy running hiding away from me
but this time you're not coming back
and I'm not sure how I'm ever gonna live with that

God I need some peace of mind
I hope that it isn't far away

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.
