isnt there some kind of tin-man in all of us? we're living in a world where things get more mechanical

you know that little organ in the background is something which makes me tingle allover

Wonderful ! 
Oh very wow shift of gears!! Awesome. And then back to lofi lazy feels.

Very cool piece with a nice surprise in the middle!

One nice thing about being laid out for such a long time is all the tracks I have to catch up with.

Wicked sounding rock at 1:01 & after! Love that part so much...Beautiful chill out groove-mood XOXOXO

Here’s a strange one. It was made as an assignment for a continuing education class such as I must periodically take to maintain my professional license, a license which has little to nothing to do with music. The radical A/B/A form of the piece as well as its brevity resulted from the nature of the assignment. What the hell any of this has got to do with the Tin Man also relates to the specifics of the class, and I won’t bore you with those. But making the music certainly made the class more fun than it might otherwise have been!

Lyrics
As you walk to the window there’s people passing by
wonder if they’re feeling what your feeling deep inside
There’s something missing I feel like you should know
I had a good friend tell me,  many years ago

You got to move to know what it’s all about
It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.

just a matter of time before it comes your way
not always easy when, just another crowded day
Things start to happen It all falls into place
Now you're on your path to living your life filled with grace.

It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.
It’s just a matter of time feels like a dopamine rush

Dopamine Rush

Solstice Weather Report
 
These solstice eyes 
have learned to disagree
with the varnish and dies
of vain pleasantry

The ugly devices of self-serving goons
casting their angst ridden bases
only to float their ego-balloons
have erased all the sky's visual graces.

This Solstice skin
has learned to shy away
from the deceptively Thin
pvc overlay.

this discount-priced vortex of dime-store illusion
raises hope from the ground at it's gust front
only to soil soils with futile pollution
as it scatters it's load in the minds of those stunned.

These Solstice ears
have learned to listen in
to the grumblings of fears
in the voice therein

Bared. in the open, prone to transform
Buds turn to flower when graced by the soft rain
fears provide courage to transcend the norm
letting go and becoming are one and the same.

Hi guys, really proud today introducing a very fruitful collab with my friend Dirk Taubenheim from The Gatsbys. This song means a lot to me, as this is my very first song I partly wrote almost 15 years ago. I only finished music and arrangement last year, and considering the great welcome this song had from you all, I decided to carry on the work and write lyrics. 
Once it was finished, I offered Dirk to sing it, as I always thought he had the admirable rocky voice this song deserved. He accepted straight away to sing it, which was an honor for me considering his prolific songwriting career. If you don't know him yet, you definitely have to visit his SC page : https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and best wishes to you all.

My first electric guitar recording after many, many years.

Birds In Flight

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people.

Here's the first Anomon & Elliot recording in a New Series of musical conversations in 'The Livingroom', in February 2023. And today (Feb. 21st it's #2 on the SC New & Hot Ambient Chart in North America. 

The tones and textures Tim created on his guitar as we began improvising reminded me of the Erhu.. the two stringed Chinese instrument played with a bow. It felt like we were actually looking out over the amazing horizon in the photo above, filled with wonder. Shortly after, we found our way into the musical equivalent of Para-Gliding over the clouds in very cool n joyous groove that continues to pulse through until the finish.

We hope you'll enJOY, too. 😊

I had a song writing prompt to create a rap!
It's called 'Paradox'...it's a bit ranty - bemoaning the after effects of catching COVID - but I think that's alright for 'a sort of' rap 😁

Lyrics, vocals and production : Anna Howells; Loops: Garageband

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.
