Lots of originality in this composition ....

The Walk

It's sevens-should-be-dominant-without-function-and-heels-should-never-be-flat music Friday! Thanks https://soundcloud.com/jeff_roberts for giving inspiration about what to do with a nonsense homeoffice afternoon (was also doing laundry but eventually fell asleep waiting for it).

Lydia Has Seven Flats

мечта

I keep a box 
and you can bet I keep it locked 
nightmares stuffed inside 
and 
I refuse to pay it any mind 
cause I know it’s all tangled and untame 
       So I refrain 
           yea       I refrain 

Ripples running cross the surface 
being chased
at any moment 
I’m capsized and rolling over 
and you know I want to blame the wave 
       the anger and the flame 
A fire in my belly
Lightening in my veins

Then I feel the shame 
       yea I feel the shame
so I put it all away 

In a box
I keep 
Buried at my feet 
all tangled and untame 

Yea
I feel the anger and the flame 
Fire in my belly 
Lightening in my veins

you know 
gotta put it back again

I Refrain (amped)

A tune filled with mixed emotions like life often is as well.

I often like to work my tunes around a famous (or not-so-famous) picture or photograph as a source of inspiration. I came across this fantastic photo by Giuseppe Milo, who is based in Dublin. It shows two little Irish street buskers earning their pocket money in a very inventive way. So, what’s their story? As the little boy plays, does the little girl dance, sing or just sit politely thanking the punters for throwing their coins into the case as they pass by? What tune would the little boy be playing on his accordion - an old tune, a new tune, or an old forgotten tune? I would like to dedicate the piece to all the street buskers who entertain us as we pass by. I hope you enjoy it.

On The Way Home

Before This, Beyond That

The Innocents

Incidental Music For Eyelid Movies (IMforEM). That's the style of music I write and record. It's music to be watched with your eyes closed.

When I was 14 and trying to learn to play guitar no one told me about A440 tuning. I knew how to tune the guitar string to string, but wasn't aware that records and what I heard on the radio had a standard. I soon became frustrated trying to play along with what I heard and began making up my own music. Still at it.
