Running
I pick up my speed
The hands of the sun
snatch at me through the trees 
My shadow goes ahead of me
Burning cold
Burning cold, she is

This is how I unravel 
The sun a-parallel to me 
Blades of sand are flying 
The sculptor working his blade
Burning cold 
Burning cold, he is

I put my legs on automatic 
and travel expanses 
across the land and the mindscape 
Built to run

And out here there's a holy harmony 
I drape it around me 
My voice finds it like
my foot finds a solid hold 
And out here demons desert my mind 
- their messages are like papers 
that I can burn now,
old letters from old enemies

Desire, the fire lit under me
The world set spinning as I run 
We have to learn to be what we are 
and hook up to some other power 
Burning cold 
Burning cold, it can be

The cells a spread of stars now 
Our blood is effervescent, yes.
I'm travelling at the speed of blood
with fire licking at my heels.
Burning heat
Burning heat within 

I put my legs on automatic 
and travel expanses 
across the land and the mindscape 
Built to run

And out here there's a holy harmony 
I drape it around me 
My voice finds it like
my foot finds a solid hold 
And out here demons desert my mind 
- their messages are like papers 
that I can burn now,
old letters from old enemies

I snake like sand 
along the vacant shore 
and throw all ill-luck 
to the cleansing fire 
I snake like sand 
along the vacant shore 
and throw all ill-luck 
to the cleansing fire 

Evil had me by the ears 
then let go and I up and ran

Evil had me by the ears 
then let go and I up and ran

Evil had me by the ears 
then let go and I up and ran

Evil had me by the ears 
then let go and I up and ran

Up and Ran

Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

The Northern Frontier

The Northern Frontier (Solo Piano)

So this song takes the idea of home and expands it outward beyond conventional ideological boundaries of what a home might be. Some of this may sound odd, in the sense of 4 walls, a floor, and a roof as home. So where might our home be? Out beyond our neighborhood perhaps, the region where we live, the continent we’re on, maybe our planet, or somewhere in the cosmos? If we settle on a suitable idea that is somewhat believable for us, it may be that our ‘home’ is, at the very least, the planet we live on. Our home planet. So wherever we go on Earth, we are home, as the song suggests. Please bear with me on this, as it may get a bit allegorical: I like that idea of this larger sense of home, as we might not dump trash, sewage, and all sorts of toxins inside our home, or pollute our home in other ways. We may begin to see what a large, incredible family we have at home. Don’t ya think? It may allow us to get along with each other a little better than we have been? (As an example, you should see me with me with my family at times, it can be frustrating… hee-hee.) We probably wouldn’t set off/drop so many bombs and blast the crap out of our home like we do now, if we saw the Earth as our home. Or ignorantly flood or burn down our home, in our stubborn refusal to appreciate the reality of what it takes to maintain a home like Earth. If we come back to the idea of a conventional home, well there’s all sorts of problems with that too. Here are some of them. Some of us have homes, some of us don’t. There are many reasons for that. Some of us have lost our homes. Some of us do not like our homes, some of us never leave our homes. Some of us despise each other for not having homes, or having too many homes, or having too large of a home, etc…. Where do we feel at home these days with the state of homeability or lack there of? My conventional home, allows me to live here, be that wherever it may be for any of us. Anyway, this song also gave me the opportunity to dust off my mandolin and recorder, as they pretty much sat there all summer with long faces wondering what I was up to. So now they’re happy and I hope this song shares some of their happiness with you….. m

I had this 8-track demo of a sad lovesong. Richard liked it and asked me to send over the stems in order to "try something". What he sent back hit me like a hammer. Damn, that was beautiful! He' d turned my sad indie ballad into a sweet french pop song with the amazing Delphine Portier on b-vocs. Merci beaucoup, chers ami!

Dedicated to Sara. Thanks for the attention!

NIGHT TIME

Sonatina in C Minor (2024)

She should have left that damn bird alone

Mama Saw A Bird

Cast of characters: 

Quanah Stewart --vocals, lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, synths, arrangement, composition, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass
 
This song began with Stephen and his friend and bandmate, Quanah Stewart who also sings this version, and who wrote the lyrics. They were in a band together for about 7 years in the early 2000s. When the band broke up, they went many years without playing together. Until, in 2018 Stephen started his TexMex shaman project and this was one of the first songs he wrote.  Quanah had moved to Austin in the meantime but on a visit back to Dallas, Stephen asked him to come over and add the vocal track you hear on the song.  
 
Fast forward to 2024 and Stephen wanted to remix this along with a few other older tunes. He asked his good friends and teammates Ken and me if we'd like to help, and of course, we were super enthusiastic.  This is what Stephen had to say about the finished product. "Their parts blew me away.  Beyond what I expected and it made it a whole new song.  Very grateful to them both for their time and talent." As are Ken and I very grateful to Stephen for sharing his awesome rocker with us.  
  The title comes from trying to think of the stupidest song title Stephen could come up with, on a bet. And it’s close. 
  Of course, Stephen did the honors of mixing and producing it. Ken and Josh had a lot of fun brining this song back to life with him, whose creativity and skill are unparalleled. We all hope you (and Quanah) enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

I hold my cards close to my vest
Don’t like to share my political views. 
There’s people out there who poke at me and try to light my fuse
They say we’re in a downward spiral, the world’s spinning out of control
They try to get me fired up, pull me down their rabbit hole

I roll with the punches; I try to do the best I can
The world’s a complicated place and I’m just a simple man
But one thing that I’m a hundred percent certain about
I’m sick and tired all these angry people who like to scream and shout

They say one guys goanna drive us off the cliff, the other one's goanna lead us to the promised land.
And there’s books I have no desire to read, that they say should be banned.
They say it’s bad to be woke, but I’m not even sure what that means
And the reason I’m living paycheck to paycheck is because we have too many drag queens.

I roll with the punches; I try to do the best I can
The world’s a complicated place and I’m just a simple man

All these people trying to shove their views down my throat
I wish I could dig a virtual moat
Encircle myself and live in a cone of silence, that would be nice
I’m not interested in joining a cult
I wish that I had a catapult
So I could take all that stuff they’ve been shoveling and throw it back at them. That would be great.

It took a long time for us to get into this mess
And if you say you have a simple fix
I suspect it’s probably just a bunch of smoke and mirror tricks
Politics is the new religion
But unlike belief in heaven and hell
You don’t need to die to find out if your choices turn out well

Roll With The Punches

There often is no rational reason for the level of hate and extent of death and destruction for most of our self inflicted tragedies. I think if we ask ourselves the simple question that the spider asked me and if we are true to our own selves and not blinded by paranoia/false leaders. then this can stop

lyrics
I woke up in the morning and went to the kitchen like I always do
to get some coffee and some bread to toast
to my fright and surprise
crawling on the floor before my eyes
A big black spider..hairy and awful
heading to the web he had made the night before

without thinking much,I walked over and picked up my foot
to bring down on his head and end his life for good
but to my surprise and shock,the spider turned and looked at me
and said.."Why?? ...is this something your God would do?"

I held my foot in the air,,I didn't know what to do
First I was shocked that a spider was talking to me at all
but mostly, I couldn't answer his question
I couldn't think of a reason and mostly I knew God would not approve of killing something for any reason

So I stepped aside,got my coffee
the spider went to his web for his breakfast
and we both had a great day

so before you raise your fist in anger again
before you hurl another horrible racial slur
before you burn someone,throw a rock or kill someone
be sure you answer the spider's question first

and if you can';t
then don't..do it

the spider's question

One of three separate guitar solos to the same backing track, this one, the clean solo.
recorded on a Boss micro Br-80, which has some very nice guitar tones and eband backing track loops, so to be more spontaneous
I could not resist playing to this backing track .
I changed the image, now I feel happier that I did, because of the Deep appreciation for this Guy's talant and his chosen musical Pathway.

Give Up

See me weaving through these rain drops.
Pick it up. Take it slow.
It’s not the only way the pain can stop,
But it may be the only way I know.

See me weaving through these rain drops.
Cut ‘em off. Cause a scene.
Wishing it could be the way it was
But isn’t that the way it’s always been?

Since the last time I let ya down, I let ya down
All I did was fall in love.
She did her magic and she kept me round, she kept me round
But I can’t have it all at once.

I wrote a letter and I signed my name, I signed my name
But don’t know who to give it to.
The choice is obvious and I’m to blame, yes I’m to blame
I’m sorry. It was always you.

Here I am in this kitchen,
A blurry vision of the world I’ve been missing.
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still living.
So, please don’t let me go. Don’t make me go.

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

Don’t put me out. I promise now,
you’re the only habit that I wanna fall into.
See my eyes. Realize.
I’m the man you love and holy shit do I miss you.

Hand out. I stand down,
fully at your mercy as I pray that you reach back.
And I know, you move slow
But she don’t, I can’t do it on my own.

Here I am in this kitchen,
A blurry vision of the world I’ve been missing.
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still living.
So please don’t let me go. Don’t make me go.

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need

It’s all for you
You’re all I need
It’s all for you
You’re all I need
