Senpri Faita Un Arguen

'Ink on paper' is an improvised guitar instrumental that can be listened to as the second track of a set starting with 'The Himalayan Letter' (first track). I imagine the letter being read by the addressee... The Himalayan Letter can be found here:: https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring/the-himalayan-letter-open-for

Detail to the track is that I recorded it on the sofa 5 weeks ago and I completely forgot about it. Until I listened to my little experiments and found this piece. I mixed it giving extra attention to the reverb.

Ink on paper

At the beginning, Jamie and I wanted to create a jam session with 3 keyboardists. We started the track with Calaminus at the organ solo, Jamie at the trombone patch and me at the electric piano. Later, Mirko "StringBurner" joined us on the bass, bring us beautiful bass arrangements and an outstanding solo. Thanks to Mirko and thanks to Jamie Rhind & Calaminus  for their amazing keyboards solos.

The great bass player Mirko Borach, aka Stringburner https://soundcloud.com/stringburner, sent his wonderful original piece called "Mysterious" to Julien Apelian https://soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 and me to see if we could add our touch and instruments to his warm singing bass sounds. It is a track that is reminiscent of several typical seventies and early eighties bands and sounds, ranging from, for example, a Black Sabbath type oriental riff, to more Return to Forever-like sounds, to even a hint of the Doors in some of Julien's playing. We had great fun working together again, arranging parts and adding solos and the wonderful mixing and post production by Julien tops this collaboration off!

We hope you'll enjoy this fusion of styles and our playing on Mirko's original called ...Mysterious...

Redemption is an original track set up by Mirko Borach soundcloud.com/stringburner. In Mirko's words: "The title Redemption aims to signify the balance between the human soul and nature in a spiritual way of life far away from the hustle and bustle and the drab monotony of everyday life.".

This track brings to mind the glorious days of seventies fusion with bands like Return to Forever, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Weather Report. Mirko, aka Stringburner, sent us the outline of this track with some splendid bass work and percussion. 

Dan van den Berg soundcloud.com/danarchx on acoustic guitar, Jamie Rhind soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind on synthesizer & Julien Apelian soundcloud.com/jules-keys-1 on piano and keyboards joined in on Mirko's request to really make this a virtual band effort where each player is featured. We are very proud of the result.

We had a great time pulling this together and hope you now will too. The photo of the beautiful waterfall was taken in Costa Rica by Jamie. As always we really appreciate your comments, likes and shares!

Redemption - Mirko Borach, Dan Van Den Berg, Jamie Rhind & Julien Apelian

22 Dec i've had a concert for the closing ceremony of the Antinoo's exhibition at NMA, in Athens.
Performed the 3 compositions of Antinoos's album and 2 new unpublished pieces with lyrics by Pessoa.
Excellent artists accompanied me :
the string quartet of the first violinist of the State Orchestra, Jannis Georgiadis (https://www.facebook.com/jannis.georgiadis.5). 
the baritone of the National Opera, Christos Lazos (https://www.facebook.com/chris.lazos.9?fref=ts) and 
the soprano of the National Opera, Gina Fotinopoulou (https://www.facebook.com/gina.fotinopoulou/?fref=ts).

You can see the performance on youtube: https://youtu.be/XklmMzHIqs0

The "Antinoos" music has been commissioned by the Numismatic Museum http://nma.gr/ and the International Council of Museums http://icom.museum/, for the "International Museum Day"

From the poem:
That deathless statue of thee I shall build
Will be no stone thing, but my great regret
By which our love's eternity is willed.
My sorrow shall make thee its god, and set
Thy naked presence on the parapet
That looks over the seas of future times.
Some shall say all our love was vice and crimes.
Others against our names, as stones, shall whet
The knife of their glad hate of beauty, and make
Our name a pillory, a scaffold and a stake
Whereon to burn our brothers yet unborn.
Yet shall our presence, like eternal morn,
Ever return at Beauty's hour, and shine
Out of the East of Love, and be the shrine
Of future gods that nothing human scorn.

Live - Antinoos, Pessoa - feat G.Fotinopoulou (Soprano), C.Lazos (Baritono)

Thanks to Chris Andrich for the sound of sea...

This is a love "story", a "story" of sadness, loneliness and longing.
