Synaesthesia. This refers to music that excites the Imaginination visually or in other sensory modes 
Whilst in music the primary response to the sound is aural, non-auditory sensations can occur owing to a sort of metaphorical excitement of sensations other than the purely aural, for example visual qualities or qualities associiated more with the sensation of touch (e.g soft, velvety, vibrant, harsh 'blending' of sound) so combining to give complex multi sensations ranging across all the senses. The music in this playlist excites such responses in the composers experience and so he hopes and believes it will do so in others'

Fantasy in three Movements for small Orchestra

This suite of pieces holds to the fast-slow-fast traditional pattern of the Classical period .

The three movements are: 

Allegro Vivace in 4/4

Slowly in 5/4

Andante Con Moto in 6/8

The indivual movements will be published separately to Soundcloud.

I used sound cloud mastering service on the three movements separately 

as the duration of the suite is eleven minutes, longer than the

ten minute upper limit for Soundcloud mastering.

Old Textures - Variation Avec Franck Douvin

This is a variation of a sort on a musical fragment which appears in the theme  music for the TV series 'All Creatures great and Small' and also in  the first movement of my Tripartite Fantasy and is  constructed as a free flowing set of improvisations on a simple basic idea This simple idea is treated in a linear polyphonic way resulting in a texture which moves between consonant and dissonant harmony ending on a C major chord.
N.B. A similar musical idea treated in a much different way also appears in the first movenent of my Tripartite Faantasy posted here: https://soundcloud.com/julian-cafarella/allegro-vivace-for-chamber-orchestra

Leaving The City

Solo in a contemporary style for Trombone encompassing a riddle.

The Mare

1
Guernica, the holy city of the Basques, 
Is located east of Bilbao in northern Spain.
It became known worldwide when it was
Attacked by German and Italian fighter planes 
More than 85 ys ago
During the Spanish Civil War 
Bombed the city into rubbles and ashes
And everyone else who lived there before
Guernica, one of the first airborne bombardments 
Aiming to eradicate civilians and other innocents

2
There`s no color, there’s no depth 
And for sure there’s no relief 
From your point of view
It’s monochrome and cubistic,
It makes your stomach tighten up,
When you think about everything that's happened ever since then and, 
Above all,
What is yet to come ?
What’s next upon the sleeve ?

3
There is a long and 
Pointed, deadly spear 
Piercing right through the chest
That’s like a manifest 
Just look into the frantic eyes of the dying horse
And you know and feel immediately, what’s goin’ on
It makes one wonder who the hell is comitting thus 
And for fucks sake what's basically wrong with us 
There`s no color, there’s no depth 
And for sure there’s no relief 
From your point of view
No matter what point you may choose
Will the victors again 
be writing down the history ?
It was the victors backthen,
Who wrote down history long ago...

Adagio for Our Times (Remix VIII 3 December 2023)

This is a variation of a sort on a musical fragment which appears in the theme music for the TV series 'All Creatures great and Small' and also in the first movement of my Tripartite Fantasy and is constructed as a free flowing set of improvisations on a simple basic idea This simple idea is treated in a linear polyphonic way resulting in a texture which moves between consonant and dissonant harmony ending on a C major chord.

Allegro Moderato (After Carl Nielsen) Remixed 15  December 2023

This was the third song that Steve Vervaet sent me for a collaboration. I asked Josh to record bass. We both added harmonies,  me on low , Josh on high. The original has some Organ and some guitar parts from one of Steve’s friends, I always like this as just a three-piece, so I decided to do a new mix. Hope you like it, and hope I am not stepping out of bounds, or stepping on anyone’s toes, ha… alternate versions of songs are awesome, sometimes🤔

Steve’s planet : vocal, guitar, composition
Josh Clary( Entheogenic Psychonaught) : bass, guitar, high harmony vocal 
K2 and the Three: drums, percussion, low harmony vocal

 lyrics:
So you had enough today?
I thought u'll visit us one day
Was waiting for another sunray
to hear you once again prevail

I thought you'd live forever
i dreamed our bonds would never sever
at least you did one more last endeavour
and that's why i would admire you forever

You lived your life and that was fine
it was super cool and you were on the first line
you didn't pretend , you neved showed off
you didn't have tattoos or fake persona blastoff

You lived your life, till your 49
and afterwards your soul forevermore shine
your face is now on t-shirts, your name on NY street
and that's why i sing and say....ROcknRoll kills anywayyyy

You toured nonstop for 22 years
thank god there was music and brushed away your fears
you got bullied so many times
and then you wrote the world's top class rhymes

For them you were the underdog, the freak 
for us a legend and not the weak
you gave us hope, the music & soul 
You were so true and not a fake persona blastoff

Rock and Roll Kills

"For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey What's That Sound)" (often referred to as simply "For What It's Worth") is a song written by Stephen Stills. Performed by Buffalo Springfield, it was recorded on December 5, 1966, released as a single on Atco Records in December 1966 and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1967.
It was later added to the March 1967 second pressing of their first album, Buffalo Springfield. The title was added after the song was written, and does not appear in the lyrics.
In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song at number 63 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time."        Wikipedia

Edge Ostinato is a short but intense piece for strings at a moderate to fast tempo

Edge Ostinato Remix XXII

Andante Tremolando et Cantabile is a song like prelude featuring tremolo effects in the string section.
This piece uses the Native Instruments sampler Kontact with the notation softare Sibelius.
.

Andante Cantabile et Tremolando_VI

This piece was conceived while listening to a broadcast of contemporary classical music. It evolves from some simple material by developing themes and motifs (with repetition)and moves from a sombre opening through various darker and lighter moods towards an ending which indulges in a light banter between the orchesrtra and the listener.

The Moon at Noon. (Edited)

'Bittersweet' is so called because it explores traditional harmonic structures together with more piquant harmonies combining the former with the latter to form a complex but incisive framework for the essential 'bitter-sweetness' of  and ambiguity of human existence as many experience it living in modern times.
