Lazy Day

Go With The Flow

A quiet contemplative moment for Piano Day.  Piano Day takes place on the 88th day --this year March 29th--because of the number of keys on the instrument.  This is my own little celebration.  Thank you for your kind listening.

Song For The Morning | Piano Day 2023

Coming Through-(Ground Floor-The REMIX)
Thought I was a lightweight
My flight plan—is up to date  
my playlist —on rotate 
beats bumping ——with tight brakes
just Call that———-solid State
Not here ——to negotiate
touchdowns—of—a—heavyweight 
I score ——and I penetrate 
Gone platinum —-straight out the gate
The crowd’s up——— we——celebrate
The pulse ——and the heart rate
No——-overtime—I’m feeling great 
The vibe’s ——love—-and never —hate
this is—-how ——-I navigate
———-Not here to negotiate 

—coming through—- with a vengeance 
declared my independence 
It’s underground not industry
I’ve got them doing penance 
that’s right—- took the high road 
not paid——-but i upload
The mix ——stirred—-to sound good
they’re hanging—— on my every word —(X2)
….On my every word

Thank god——- for his blessings 
Each track’s———a new lesson 
Hold on tight——-I’m coming through
Monument—still——collecting 
There—-Ain’t no second guessing
Looking forward—— for my next win
believe it—when—they leave—-
Like Lettuce—-cause—-I’m the dressing
—-no resting—— now—the best thing
Expanding and Investing———-
So ——Dreams are manifesting 
—-The flames I spit—-the game is lit🔥🔥 🔥
I’m burning —-down the contest
fireworks ——at your doorstep 
Scorch earth—-plan——in effect
You heard of me—-you know the rep
If you Feel the heat ——-you overslept 
Here’s your wake up call —-more or less 
Not a word —cause—-you’re speechless

Like water in the low land 
from China —straight—to Japan 
They’ll never —-know my flight plan, 
Or the reasons— that I don’t land 
Stay cool if you’re a fan——-
Calm—-cause I’ve got this
On the edge of——the abyss
A mystery they—-can’t resist
—Still—-drenched in sweat
Your Dripping wet—your look is pure anguish

No——heat —as hot—-as this
The flame’s——just infinite
That flows—polar opposites
That’s the flight of a Phoenix 
——that’s right bro ——you feel this
That’s the light of a Phoenix
The flight of a Phoenix

🔥🔥 🔥

Coming Through - (Ground Floor- The Remix)

The Feather

This is a song that I created with a few different songs in mind, most prominently Us and Them and Deep Blue Day. I needed drums, though, so I sent it to my friend Ken who added those and some acoustic guitar--exactly as I wanted them to sound. Then I sent it to Tez who added a ripping electric guitar. He also produced and mixed the whole thing. And what an expert job he did, as always. For anyone paying attention, this is a remix of the song A Separate Reality we all released two weeks ago. it's less heavy on the electric guitar and heavier on the keys. The desired effect is that it's a more relaxing version. We hope it has that effect on you!

Mixed Up Reality (with Llanpsych and K2 and the Three [and Four])

Creating this tune, I was mostly focused on rhytmical pattern and spiced up the 4/4 Beat  with a small amount of Funk essence.
And... do scratches work, implemented in electronics?
In modern productions these are almost extinct.

Movement

Hello friends, Listeners, and Music lovers. ☺

We ask you to simply Let Go... and Let the Music gently lift you up and carry you as it expands and swells... rising to the first of many Crescendos!  😉

And Remember... Timothy and I are Improvising In the Moment. We have not preordained any chord patterns or anything. I started with my keyboard... and as we Listened Deeply, we heard something emerging. And if you really settle... and Let Go... you will hear it unfold as well. 😊 
 
All the sounds in this piece of Music are created with only a Fender Telecaster Guitar thru a Fender Reverb Tube Amp & a Kawai ES7 Stage Piano.                                                                                                                 
We recorded the improvisation through a Stereo ZOOM Microphone, the Cheapest function rich portable mic available. I MiXed it later in my Home Studio to bring out the fullness of what we heard as we were creating it.

Guitarist Tim Elliot and i are Really thrilled and delighted to offer you this music...   It's our first Track as the Band _  Shekinah Fire * which will now be the vehicle for all of our future Improvisational Creations.

And so... 
to each and every Listener who has enJoyed, commented, and supported our endeavors over the past year or so, we extend you a huge Thank You!  🤗 

And May you enJoy! 😊

Explanation:  Emerging from a Cosmic Egg, the star in the center of the Egg Nebula is casting away shells of gas and dust as it slowly transforms itself into a White Dwarf Star.  Indeed... the Egg Nebula is a rapidly evolving pre- planetary nebula spanning about one light year. It lies some 3,000 light-years away toward the northern constellation Cygnus. Thick dust blocks the center star from view, while the dust shells farther out reflect light from this star. Light vibrating in the plane defined by each dust grain, the central star, and the observer is preferentially reflected, causing an effect known as polarization. Measuring the orientation of the polarized light for the Egg Nebula gives clues to location of the hidden source. Taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2002, this image is rendered in artificial "Easter-Egg" colors coded to highlight the orientation of polarization.

*** RISE ***

Can you see the dawn arising
Can you see the light inside your mind
Can you feel it ?
Love will never die !

Be majestic like a phoenix 
You can be as golden as the sun
You can reach it
Nothing ever really dies !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

The universe it has no corners
There's no boundary 
You are not alone 
Are there edges to the oceans' waves ?

So the grass it may be greener
And the rivers may run clearer
So - How'd you know -
If you can't look to the other side ?

RISE
Shine like the sun
Wishes and dreams
And watching them all come true 
You'll see
That finding your way
Is all that it takes 
If you can wait for them to be...

RISE MAJESTIC 
RISE PHOENIX
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

La mirada de Julia (With Andy McLean and Álex Ventura)

Thank You for 1000 plays ❤️

In the late 1980s, I had the opportunity to watch in the cinema Godfrey Reggio's documentary "Koyaaniquatsi" with music by Philip Glass and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and I became a fan of the soundtrack from this film.

A few months ago I was watching the third season of "Stranger Things" and suddenly, in the third episode, in the last scene, I heard familiar sounds. Without checking, I could tell I could hear Phillip's music. And so it was. My fascination was revived and I felt the urge to create something similar to his style.
Unfortunately, my creativity and time has its limits and I haven't been able to make a full song... yet ;) But I'm sharing with you an idea, or rather an introduction to this piece. I hope you like it at least a little :)

Looking Through the Glass

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

This song is unfortunately never irrelevant and I am uploading a new version. 

LAMENT

I read the news today oh boy
Oh brother, did you see what happened, 
another killer
And it makes me sad, I can’t get mad
It feels like a curse, it could get worse

And still, the things we think we know
Their in tow, how much do they owe
And I just don’t understand
Why can’t we all just make a stand

You’re my sister, you’re my brother
You’re my neighbor, you’re somebody’s lover
You might have a different mother
Let’s come together, stop killing eachother

Oh brother
Oh brother
Stop killing eachother
Oh brother

I saw the news today oh boy
Oh brother, we’re losing friends one after another
No need for enemies, we still got our rights
And still I fear, the end’s not near

The things we’ve already seen
It’s enough, its enough, we’re not that tough
We’re over-equipped, and we need a new script
Let’s be true, drop the blue and red hue
 
You’re my sister, you’re my brother
You’re my family 
You’re my neighbor, you’re somebody’s lover
Anybody’s lover
You might have a different mother
Let’s take care of each other
Let’s take care of each other, stop killing one another

Oh brother
Oh brother
Stop killing eachother
Oh brother

"Believe again"
When i was a kid, i never cried
many books have closed
and the tears are flowing now
how to trust again
how to still believe
to all the promises

When i was, a teenager
head full of positive things.
many pages have been turned
now the rivers have dried up
tell me how to believe again
in all this confusion
tell me how to believe again
in this illusion...

when i was in my thirties
nothing scared me
but fire and blood in our lives
makes me fear the worst
how to trust again
how to still believe
in this crazy world

once, the sky was clear
but time has done its job
could you tell me the secret
could you tell me what to do
to go back, believe again
to go back believe again...

Quand j'étais enfant, je ne pleurais jamais.
de nombreux livres se sont fermés
et les larmes coulent maintenant
comment refaire confiance
comment croire encore
à toutes les promesses

Quand j'étais adolescent
la tête pleine de choses positives.
Mais de nombreuses pages ont été tournées
maintenant les rivières se sont asséchées
Dis-moi comment croire à nouveau
dans toute cette confusion
Dis-moi comment croire à nouveau
dans cette illusion...

quand j'étais dans la trentaine
rien ne me faisait peur
mais le feu et le sang dans nos vies
me fait craindre le pire
comment refaire confiance
comment croire encore
dans ce monde de fous?

autrefois, le ciel était clair
mais le temps a fait son oeuvre.
pourriez-vous me dire le secret
pourriez-vous me dire quoi faire
revenir en arrière, croire à nouveau
Faire demi-tour et croire à nouveau...

Believe again

An Jazz track inspired by one of the very

Many thanks to Julie.

Un titre Jazz inspiré d'une des très
belles photos prises par Julie lors d'un récent
voyage en Thaïlande.
Un grand merci à Julie.

---- Pas à pas  -----

J'irais là où tu voudras,
j'ferais fi de tous les aléas,
et même parfois si je faiblis,
si je suis même anéanti,
je marcherais toute la nuit,
à tes côtés et sans un bruit,
malgré le noir et les embûches,
et même parfois si je trébuche,
j'irais là où tu iras,
te suivrais pas à pas,

Light The Candle Please

A Fortunate Affair

This is a song that originated with JJ, who was kind enough to share it with Ken (K2 and the Three, and the K2 and the Four), Tez (Llanpsych), and me. I have to say that this was the most fun I've had on a song in a while, mainly because it allowed me to play out my Miles Davis fantasy that I've had brewing for the past 30 or so years. I like to imagine my guitar part as a trumpet part. The reason I'm able to do this is because of JJ's amazing modal keys parts. He's playing a major against a minor riff over an uncommitted bass line. That bass line happens to be rolling along over top of some highly innovative drumming by Ken. It sounds like water falling or someone tripping down the stairs to me. Perfect! After we had it all recorded, we sent it to my man in Manchester, Tez, who painstakingly put it together into a live sounding, balanced song. This was truly a team effort and one of which I'm extraordinary proud.  We all hope you dig it, as well.

This is the 7th song posted from the album I have been working on using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! I can't believe how fast time has passed and how long we have been working on this project. 4 songs from the album are based on a graphic novel that Wou-Wou had started before the pandemic began. The rest of the songs are reflections of the weird times we were living in.

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for still being here after all these years. I have known and worked with people on SoundCloud probably longer than I have known high school friends, college friends, and friends from various jobs. Huge thanks to Guitar Wizards of the Future. I remember when I first began participating in the SoundCloud community, I would always eagerly anticipate a new GWOTF track, especially because I grew up in Oakland California. I look forward to hearing a new one someday! In the meantime, go check out the classics on their page!

Would 
You like to 
Skip work and go to the seaside
Would 
You like to
Go tubing by the riverside

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go 

What 
About going 
For a naked bike ride
What 
About going 
To a dispensary and getting high

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me hate 
Another day though 
I been poking at my plate
Each and every day though 
Just staring in the mirror
Watching as my hair grows 

Would
You like to 
Visit a park 2 feet wide
Would 
You like to
Be my voodoo donut bride 

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go

narration: the term CHTHULUCENE was coined by Donna J. Haraway, see https://mosayebi.arch.ethz.ch/en/thesaurus/chthulucene/ 
apart from that: listening to too much Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) lately has momentarily clouded my ability to avoid silly rhymes (as good as their music is). Sorry.

poem / copyright jo richter

adopting a circular angle at interrelations
we are created by our creations
‘though you can‘t put your finger on it right now
we‘ve always been earth, co-existing with the plough

averting your eyes, alien shadows will rise
while accountants still stammer out weird alibis
there is no reason to avoid one another
the same remains different, no need to bother

recording no time cannot withhold seizures
reality leaks in through multiple fissures
good manners are naughty, abstraction's obscene
arachnoids welcome the chthulucene

Lyrics:
Nos vies sont des bateaux que les années emportent
Sur des océans calmes ou bien des mers trop fortes
On navigue au hasard et l'on cherche fortune
Prêt à livrer bataille pour décrocher la Lune

Et si le vent du nord
Gonflait nos voiles
Irions nous vers ces ports
Où rien ne se dévoile
Mais les hommes ont si peur
Du bruit de la fureur
De leur propre douleur
Et de leur créateur

On dérive parfois sur des courants d'hier
Les yeux pleins d'horizons pleins de frontières
De nos sillons blessés on revient les mains vides
Et ce temps qui nous double après la dernière ride

Et si le vent du nord
Gonflait nos voiles
Irions nous vers ces ports
Où rien ne se dévoile
Mais les hommes ont si peur
Du bruit de la fureur
De leur propre douleur
Et de leur créateur

Nos vies sont des bateaux que tout brise sans cesse
Pauvres marins échoués sans signal de détresse
Naufragés ridicules sur de pauvres écueils
On se noie dans un verre en buvant notre orgueil

Et si le vent du nord
Gonflait nos voiles
Irions nous vers ces ports
Où rien ne se dévoile
Mais les hommes ont si peur
Du bruit de la fureur
De leur propre douleur
Et de leur créateur

Et chantent les sirènes et partent les curieux
Tentés par des chimères et qu'importe le lieu
Courageux ambitieux sur les chemins du sort
Ignorant les étoiles et l'ange qui s'endort

Our lives are boats that the years carry away
On calm oceans or heavy seas
We sail at random and seek our fortune
Ready to fight for the moon

And if the north wind
Were to fill our sails
Would we head for these ports
Where nothing is revealed
But men are so afraid
Of the noise of fury
Of their own pain
And of their creator

Sometimes we drift on yesterday's currents
Eyes full of horizons full of frontiers
From our wounded furrows we return empty-handed
And this time that doubles us after the last wrinkle

And if the north wind
Would fill our sails
Would we head for these ports
Where nothing is revealed
But men are so afraid
Of the noise of fury
Of their own pain
And of their creator

Our lives are ships that are constantly being broken
Poor sailors stranded without a distress signal
Ridiculous castaways on poor reefs
We drown in a glass drinking our pride

And if the north wind
Would fill our sails
Would we head for these ports
Where nothing reveals itself
But men are so afraid
Of the noise of fury
Of their own pain
And of their creator

And the sirens sing and the curious depart
Tempted by chimeras and who cares where
Courageously ambitious on the paths of fate
Ignoring the stars and the sleeping angel

Lyrics:
Heat’s bubbling everywhere——coming to the surface —-
Straight from the underground ——so don’t go ——getting nervous
———don’t go getting nervous——
Nothing but dopeness —————-
both a product and the service——-

———checking ———in——- where you been
—————get in ——where you fit in
Standing room only—close the doors and let us  begin
And If All the seats are taken———-consider that a win—-win

Nah!—Y’all ——can’t hold back the vibes—-

—————Now Bounce It!

Braking down—— the of elements
Tune me —-as a reference
Acknowledge —-the —existence 
So what’s the big difference
—————-Tried and true—eloquence
—————-brand new—-it’s evident
 I’m Betting that’s your——preference
Really don’t stand a chance

—where’s the —competition at —-What’s their -name—
——Tell me ———who?
Only two I’m—-worried bout —-is IPG1—- and there’s Lou
That’s ——me myself and I ——-cause I really ——-ain’t scared of you
No overselling bro————yo!—this is what I was born to do

——My styles never——basic—I bend the bar and twist it
tryin match —-my cadres —-well that’s ——your first mistake
Check out——How I operate—chill——- lemme demonstrate 

Decision’s made—-coordinate
Drop that beat——anticipate
I rock it  ——-and—— I—-regulate
Now it’s time ———to——-devastate——
off the top ————-decapitate
opposition ———seal their fate 
While—————-my flow accelerate
Catch the wave— I dominate—-
hope your will ——is up to date 
eliminate ——and terminate
I just had to ———set things straight 
Game over——checkmate 

Part of me——- part of you—
————-ignition———————Now Bounce It!

Dropping heat’s no issue
It’s IPG1 —-and it’s LOU———this is just what I do

Deep for me ———and for you—-
Nothing late and —-nothing’s new—-
nothing even overdue
Boost the volume——-Lemme ——through—-
Lemme change your point of view
nothings basic——like the flu 
Nothing’s crazy—-like voodoo 
simple facts—-a quick—-review
Catch the vibe ——it’s simply Lou
No holding back just bouncing through (X2)

The Alert Rap Vocals 150 BPM

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

Combatir la soledad (Comido por la ciudad)

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
