Beautiful improvisation Jonathan!! Love it!

such a wonderful track! i only hope that someday i may be able to play this emotionally!

@cinderman: So glad you liked... thanks for comin along.

Lovely & profound piece of art! Reminds me a bit of certain Pink Floyd tracks!

May the planet of love bestow a relaxing meditative state for you to rise.

Lots of synths - bass arp, pianos, reverb and acoustic guitars, orchestral basses, cello, and French horn set to hip hop and Latin beats at 75 bpm.

I played French horn as a child from age 10-18 in a public school concert band and later marching band. So I added a brief French horn passage with cello in a short classical treatment to herald the arrival of Venus and a nod to the Renaissance painting of the Goddess of Love.

And me 

------------------------
Mère lune résonne de lucioles puis planent les parfums d'éperdus pavots à peine semés de Zéphyr sucré où s'accordent à danser le grillon et le chaton de peuplier pleurant ses pleurotes en prières à la lisière de la rivière, alors je murmure sous les astres que tu délures, le miel des demains indociles en cils dorés de pistils, sigil aussi futile qu'une île Ivre, à circlure nos serrures ou nos sourires ainsi nuitées des poussières stellaires en l'ère maîtresse sous esses serrées de désirs et défoncer des tendresses tressées par la voix lactée léchée par la douceur lunaire empreinte dans mes yeux, message nacrée au filet si peu pieux, en ce pont-levis de salive, jaloux houleux, honte feinte qu'éreinte le rythme profond siroté par l'empreinte dans ma chair douleur et éclair d'obscurité qui file au feu de ton souffle à couler l'or navigant sur les nacres de ton soudain rire tonnerre, nerf du dire âcre où tu soudes ma bouche à la faveur des fièvres crépusculaires, car renversante jusqu'au rêvuscule que je crée en traversant tes iris à la tangente des hiérogamies cosmiques où dégouline la douceur lunaire empreinte dans mes yeux.
Baisers de blêmes braises

La Douceur Lunaire Empreinte Dans Mes Yeux vespertins - Damga, HyLGZ22 & Wivresse

I met Dave Bayes on soundcloud, with his beautiful compositions and excellent guitarplay. We had already worked together. I needed a beautiful instrumental and he needed a voice,...look what happened. Hope you like it!

Zen warrior lyrics

I’m not the kind of girl
That you see in me
I not even come close to who you want me to be
You see in me some kind of fighter in your fantasy
You call me zen warrior
Well it isn’t me, it isn’t me it isn’ t me , no  no

I’m mostly calm and at ease, my breath is deep as a soft slow breeze
Live and let live, avoid the negative
I am I am I am totally zen
(4x)

You never see me start a fight
but don’t attack me
Don’t touch my basic right 
Wanna stay out of trouble
Don’t wanne make it double
Zen warrior zen warrior

Zen Warrior (collab Dave Bayes X Saskia Goethals)

"They don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us."

Acoustic steel string, for two main guitars, with occasional single note line decoration from a third. (All parts played on my Maton M225.)

Play the piano with your son.
See the coloured birds that brings the spring.

Still, I'm Glad We Met

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, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
