Little Bitty Bigfoot

When mom used to call out to us, "Kids, come on in!" - and we shouted back "Oh come on mom, only five more minutes!"

Who doesn't remember that? When time passes...

What I would give to relive those five minutes ....

Here's a little less than five minutes of that time. They are left of the beautiful, then. Enjoy! 

Because five minutes can sometimes mean eternity... 🕰️

Engagement Day - Music by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Live Synth Improv JAM | Electro Medieval Dance Pop

The engagement is on! A continuation piece following A Royal Affair here: 

https://soundcloud.com/rekha-iyern-fe/a-royal-affair-by-rekha-iyern-fe-live-synth-instrumental! 

Hope you all enjoy this celebratory dance track to rejoice with the royal couple's decision to move on forward with the matters of, affectionately yours! The green light shines brightly for them and all ties-related, to tie the marriage knot yes, it's the big yes everyone has been eagerly awaiting! But first the engagement is on followed by the actual wedding day, a marriage made in the cosmic heavens. A life-time of togetherness is on it's way! How massively exciting is that? The reigning royal couple dazzles all who have eyes on them! The noble king and queen are ready to rule their kingdom, their people, to set the big bright future!

I simply wanted to give off an impression that if one were to travel to another space and time dimension, one might see this Queen along with other foreign space beings..however, what makes them unique, is that they can morph according to your fantasty-out-of-this-world-like-infinite-desires...Of course they do come to life just to please you with a dance or simply a fine vision...in some cases, they can even make you feel!

This summer I´m working on creating a bank of topics for a group of people who do guided meditations, locutions, storytelling, etc. This one in particular, has been used as a backgroud for this beautiful parable https://youtu.be/KcFY73VYTMA

MEDITATION 13 : MOONBEAM

I wrote this song the first time I was living in Australia. I'm singing lead and an accompanied by my bandmates from my bluegrass band Cornbread. 

Sugarcane

also on my YouTube channel 
https://youtu.be/i24m5ICt48o

This song is for anyone who wants to get out of the crazy world we're all living in right now. I am finding more and more it's what is missing where we are that is what makes us all long for more.

Out of this world 
Highh above the clouds 
I want rocket ship
To soar across
Thre galaxy 
More than sea 
to sea
 I know what's missing 
is where I wanna go

I don't want to go anywhere
Else than where I can see
Us working together 
Disconnection on this planet 
Has me seeking a connection
Out of this world 

This song is written, sung and produced by Mandy Alicia

Out Of This World - Mandy Alicia

This is another simple one mic recording. I sometimes like to do this, if it feels right. This one does to me, and sometimes I would struggle to get an authentic vocal if I wasn't playing guitar at the same time, feels a bit more real. Also I've been quite busy over the summer, so it's nice to get a quick song out, and maybe I can do another version at a later date.

Bit of a sombre one, I've had this song kicking about for a little while, keep coming back to it, so thought I'd share it, in its most basic form. I'm playing my Epiphone Dove here, the picture is an old Taylor, that I sadly don't have anymore.

Cheers for listening, as always greatly appreciated.

Dear Satellite,

it all seems so long ago
when I told you everything I know
turns out that I
don't really know that much at all

golden trinket and watch
come on in boys you can take the lot
but I never really thought that I'd got
anything you'd want

Dear Satellite,

pick up my blues
thee only girl that I'm gonna choose
is you

seeds sown in happiness
keep blooming weeds but 
roots they are steeped in bliss
now that I've started to take  my head
outa the abyss

but dark time I frequent still
could make a mountain right out of
a molehill
but you reassure me that
I was never really that ill

Dear Satellite,

pick up my blues
thee only girl that I'm gonna choose
is you

you

then you shout up and ask me 
what I'm doing now
and I answered I'm still
figuring it out






Dear Satellite (Acoustic)

BAZIL

Hey you

Know your worth

Choose you and never abandon yourself for someone else. Let how someone else treats you be about them and not about what you did wrong. You are worthy of love and should never settle for less than what you deserve.

All too often we blame ourselves for how we are treated, but people show us who they are and when they do we have to believe them and not place blame on ourselves when people are unkind to us.

This is just a friendly reminder from someone who has walked this path and learned a few things along the way 🙂

Much ❤️

Shut And Lock That Door

This is an afrobeat song that I came up with based on a beat I boosted from BandLab. They have all kinds of great beasts on there, btw. Anyway, I sent it halfway around the world to my friend Mikey McFaffington in Australia. he proceeded to summon his magical saxophone throughout the song, bringing it to life. We both had a lot of fun making this one, and appreciate you taking the time to read this. I'm playing bass, guitar, electric piano, and synth horns on this one. 

No Such Thing as an Enemy (with Mikey McFaffington)

This is an old Neil Young song from his album On the Beach. The very talented Chris Maness is on guitars and high vocals, while I'm on bass, synth, banjo, and low vocals. The rhythm is a looper I boosted from BandLab. I've always loved this song and used to sing it to my son in his crib. We hope you enjoy it as well.

Psychedelic dream projector

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocal
Gary Reeves: Drums / Drum arrangement
Hans Albers: All instruments, backing vox, arrangement & production

Cover art by Jooinn.

This is a totally stolen idea gleaned from another one of those phone conversations with my brother Gary. We talk to each other every few days and normally end up sounding like two old men sitting on a park bench putting the World to rights.

I’m sure a lot of what we say has been said many times before (what hasn’t?) but one day, out of the blue, Gal says to me “ Sometimes I find things too difficult to deal with. I would love the opportunity to step off the world for just one second and clear my head a bit...” At the time I just accepted it as the type of thing we say to each other but two days after the phone call the idea of stepping off the world to escape the pressures of daily life returned when I was playing my guitar. The words “I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off” fitted with what I was playing and the start of a new opus was born.

Once a song seems complete, I generally record a quick demo and send it off to Gal to see if it has any potential. If he thinks it has, between us we try to put a better demo together to send to Hans.  If he thinks it’s any good, he’ll work on an arrangement and more often than not sends back something back that sounds way better than what we’d imagined.  

We might chip in a few ideas here and there (as Gal did with a totally new drum arrangement on this) but Hans is definitely the one that gives it most of it’s final shape and sound.  I love every step of the songwriting process.  It provides a kind of therapy and the creative process gives every day purpose and interest.  You could say it’s my way of stepping off the world for a short moment.
(Terry Reeves)

I’m stepping off the world
To give myself a chance
For a moment of reflection
Avoid the need to dance 
One thousand miles per hour
Never firmly on the ground 
Gravity with no connection 
Spinning fast head going round 

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
Stepping off the world 

No New Year's Revolution 
Rotating much too fast 
Survival of the fittest
Fittest days are in the past
Step off every Monday
Not back until Tuesday week
One moment makes a difference
Like a lifetime so to speak

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
Stepping off the world

Don’t want to give a reason
Good feelings are oppressed 
Try different constellation 
Laying down has more interest
Stepping off a single second 
With no single past regret
Not a care for single thinking 
Avoid joining one single thread

Stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off
I’m stepping off, I’m stepping off the world
Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world, Stepping off the world...

Let It Fly

Artwork: Robbie

Lyrics:
Fine light filtering the far shore. Firelight faltering in soft glow. Moonlight melting in a halo, as we sing low. Foggy fantasies ascending. Dream-lost scenes are now remembering. Pagan poet's mind is blending with a song flow. // Visioning a crack appearing through the silent sky, opening to worlds as yet unseen. Holy golden tones of sound are rolling through the night. Music from a choir beyond the screen. // Leave us loving on the far shore. Leave us burning with a soft glow. Leave an everlasting halo, and a song flow. // Ah. Ah. Oh. // Leave us loving on the far shore. Leave us burning with a soft glow. Leave an everlasting halo, and a song flow. Oh. Oh.

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

Disconnected

"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.
