Daily Drops

I hope to someday finish animation I started years ago of flamingos in the rain dancing to this song.

Synth harp, guitars, clarinet, cellos, and bass set to hit hop, conga, and bongo beats at a tango’s pace of 70 bpm. Rain audio recorded live in December 2023.

I wrote an extended version of this track more than a decade ago during a time I was experiencing intense physical pain. As I fled inwardly into creativity to escape, this music narrated the discovery of a quiet harbor from pain.

Later I became amused watching a wildlife documentary of flamingos and their mating dance. As they marched together in step, abruptly turning their heads and beaks known as head flagging to an unknown beat accentuating their synchronized rhythm, I imagined flamingos dancing the tango. Initially I had ambitions to create an animated short with Tango In The Rain as the soundtrack. With time constraints, I leaned more toward the immediacy of digital music-making than animation and discovered pain relief in the process. And as a fan of old movies, this tune evolved into my fantasy score for a different Singin' in the Rain type of musical of animated dancing flamingos.

I hope the music takes you to your own safe harbor, hopefully a place of grace, comfort, and peace. My best wishes to you.

Wonder Why (Alberta)

BBBass

This is a song inspired by a wonderful poem of the same title that I came across on the web recently.  It's written by a guy named Christopher without further information (not me though).   I eventually took the liberty & converted it into a song.  I gave it a bit of a country feel and hope you would enjoy listening.

[LYRICS]
She looks into air, herself falling rain
Dripping coldness past, memories old pain.
Drops fall, the puddling her damp water-life.
Spiraling a mirror, self-lonely strife.

Clouds a-whorl, dark sky sheltering fair heart.
But how can she joy, while taking no part?
Covering cold soul, corona of defense.
Defying the stab of her fate's intents.

This is madness, she thinks in plaintive cry.
I'm here, on the cusp, of lay down and die.
What my destiny, but an empty-off dream?
A plaything with which gods and angels scheme.

Am I doomed then to live, time never-free?
Subsumed wholly 'neath life's scattered debris?
Is justice outside this torrential doubt?
Perhaps more than sorrow,  painful fall-out?

Instrumental break

Personal paradise, which I can own,
Evoking happiness, hither unknown?
She raises from streets of lonely no more.
Light slicing through darkness, hopes washed ashore.

Her withered gait now straightening with pride.
She glides like an angel 'cross future's tide.
Caressing the ground, sing the beat of her heart.
Into the sun seeking love's brand new start.

Rust & Bones – Fetchflix TV Series – Miss Scarlett

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/rust-bones-new-tv-series-1

The voluptuous, sexy and very beautiful Miss Scarlett Page-Turner, commonly called “Miss Scarlett”, is the daughter of Ronny Page, flutist of the not so famous rock group "Led Vanillin", and Hazel Turner, full time pimp in her neighborhood brothel called “The Nuts”. Since Miss Scarlett Page-Turner was working for her mother as a call girl, she was assigned classy customers such as Dick Boneman. It did not take long for Mr. Boneman to understand how the big selling potential of Miss Scarlett would help his business. Mr. Boneman offered her a job in the sales department of Boneman & Sacks Relic Asset Management Inc. and she became sales rep for the North American Catholic market where she was meeting Bishops and Cardinals to sell them holly relics. The secret of her success was obviously the spicy extras she was offering during the sales meeting. Eventually, sales started to go low when Bishops and Cardinals where too busy dealing with sexual abuses scandals from their priests and having to hide them. Miss Scarlett lost her job as a sales rep and started a new career as novel writer. Her first and only novel “The  Bishops Secret Jewels” was a total success. Indeed, this novel was a real page turner. It was based on the unorthodox meetings she had with Bishops and Cardinals, which later were disclosed by journalist on the news. Could being laid-off by Mr. Boneman be a good reason to kill him? Naaaaah, she became his full time sexy mistress and his partner in crime for much worst sins.

Musical Note:
The double bass line at the beginning is based on the bass line of the “Lady Marmalade” song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan in 1974. The “Lady Marmalade” song is well known for its suggestive lyrics that you probably know very well. I was also vaguely inspired by the song “Scarlet” recorded in 1974 by the English rock band the “Rolling Stones” featuring guitarist Jimmy Page of the “Led Zeppelin” rock band.

She's Wrong

Godiamoci la vita finché siamo giovani, diceva un noto inno goliardico.
In proposito, credo che l'amore renda giovani in ogni tempo, e, quando l'età è cambiata, aiuti comunque a vivere con ritrovata giovinezza.
E mi piace anche pensare che se c'è l'amore la notte è lontana. 

------ 

La notte è lontana 

Se l'amore è una luce 
Alla fine della notte
È il sapore di un fiore 
Il calore di un sole 

Se l'amore è una nota 
Che può far rumore 
Musica che suona libera 

Baciami 
Dimentica tutto 
Quello che non va 
La notte è lontana
Ma presto o tardi arriverà 

Se l'amore in un sogno
Ha un corpo di donna
Che mi ruba il pudore
Per farmi volare 

E somiglia una nota
Anche se fa rumore
Musica che suona libera 

Baciami 
Dimentica tutto
Quello che non va 
La notte è lontana
Ma presto o tardi arriverà

Rich man, welcome to the club!
Cast of characters:

RIch O'Brien-- @rich-obrien -- composition, intro guitar solo

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– third guitar solo  

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell -- Clave and organ

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, production, and mix

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–final guitar solo

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four-string fretless bass and second guitar solo

This song started as a full composition on all instruments by Rich. He asked Josh if he'd be interested in a collaboration with it. Josh jumped at the chance to share it with the Eclectic Collective. So, he invited the gang to join in, replacing most of the original instrumentation, and adding some new. 
     After Ken had added his driving, foundational drums, Josh added his bass to match. JJ soon after cranked up the funk-o-meter by adding his clave and screaming organ. Then, Josh added a guitar solo, which comes in right after Rich's intro. Stephen was up next with his badass licks in the third solo. Then Tez got a hold of it, and ripped a hole in the ether with his guitar in the last solo.
  Ken was generous enough to produce and mix this for us. And what an outstanding job he did, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

I’m not the kind of guy who wants to settle down.
I’m not the kind of guy who wants to stick around.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I’m trying not to let you carry out your plan.
To turn me into a domesticated man
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I was just another fish swimming in the sea.
The you reeled me in an made a meal of me.
I was a like dog with no home who was running wild all alone
I was living my life wild and free and like animal control you came and captured me.
Now you’ve got you in your shelter and you’re taking good care of me. 
Your passion makes me swelter but sometimes I wanna be free. 

I’ll be your private Casanova tonight.
I’ll do and say all the things that will make you feel just right.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I’ll run and I’ll run, and I’ll run straight back to you.  I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run.

This song is scheduled to be included in the new album 'Portraits'.

Rekliss

In the hushed serenity of winter's embrace, the ethereal melodies of the Melody of Broken Cake Plates gently weave a tapestry of mellow, soft, and melancholic snow songs. Born from a deep connection to the quiet beauty of winter landscapes, the Melody of Broken Cake Plates's music captures the essence of snowfall and the delicate dance of frost-kissed moments.

The essence of the Melody of Broken Cake Plates's sound lies in the delicate fusion of acoustic warmth and the crystalline purity of winter's touch. The hauntingly tender compositions invite listeners to immerse themselves in a world where time slows down, and every note is a snowflake gently settling on the soul.

It Is Me, Snowfall

Marina Abramovic is an acclaimed performance artist whose shtick revolves around bodily endurance. I recently saw an exhibition of her work in Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum and this composition is my musical impression of what I saw.
