The inspiration for this track is a vision where I am not sure whether it is a faint memory from some childhood holiday or whether I have dreamt it  :
Standing on the edge of a rocky cliff, gazing out at the tumultuous ocean below. The waves crashing against the rocks with a thunderous roar, the force of the water sending a spray of mist and foam high into the air. In the distance a lone lighthouse
overlooking the scenery. A glimps of the power and majesty of nature and our own smallness in comparison. 

Composition-wise: The piece consists of three parts (@0:01, @0:59, @1:45) that always start with the same 5 note-motive but then develop into three distinct variations with different characteristics but throughout the track there is a certain sense of dramatic scenery.
The left hand is throughout the piece mostly in octave jumps (which became quite challenging condition-wise at the end of the piece) that segment the 4/4 beat into groups of 3-3-2 (the only notable exception is the part @0:35ff with its chromatic baseline).
The right hand alternates between lyric parts such as in the beginning or @0:59ff and rhythmic syncopic parts such as @2:30ff that leads to the final where the right hand preceeds the left hand by a beat to create a sense of energy.

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

I have dedicated this piece to my brother and sister in law, they both had and still have very difficult times healthwise...

the art picture was taken by my niece's husband Cees, an excellent photographer in his spare time, he took this picture in the Roman Catholic church H.H. Cyriacus-Franciscus in Hoorn in the North of Holland...
My niece and her husband have been looking after them in their difficult times, and this was part of an outing....

I hope you will enjoy listening...

Un matin d'hiver

A sweet little fun tune, starting off with the Acoustic Guitar trying to imitate a piano playing the Bass and treble notes all in one , bringing in the Bass 1st Chorus, then the Brush Shuffle drum kit with a lovely kick drum. Vocal & Acoustic solo . Hope you like it. 

Chorus:
Hotshot Honeysuckle 2 faced steel Buckle undermining son of Rich Bitch 
2 faced never Caring stone hearted overbearing stuck up son of Rich Bitch 
Chains rattle studded cloth's the cool girl with the super Pose 
Your just a rich bitch.


Written performed and mastered by : Johnny Mc Farlane

Rich Bitch ( Fun Song )

Second attempt covering the beautiful song, Watermark, by Enya. The strings are still not as good as they could be, but this version includes those Enya harmony hums in the middle bridge section, so it's a nice improvement over the previous version I had uploaded.

***funny note re: image art - i did a little edit job in Photoshop, morphing my face onto Enya's. Not the most appealing result, but who am I to say?! lol...

here's the real album cover for reference:

Up To The Milky Way

perfect (beautiful piano)

Legacy Broken is a cinematic orchestral concept album that explores the psychological weight of legacy, family, and emotional silence. Blending restrained elegance with hypnotic minimalism, each track unfolds like a room in a haunted memory palace—echoes of conversations, legal inheritances, betrayals, and unresolved grief.

Muted strings, fractured piano motifs, trembling horns, and emotionally conflicted harmonic structures form a sonic language of unspoken tension and decaying tradition. The arrangements resist resolution, allowing silence, repetition, and space to carry as much meaning as melody.

This album is not just a score — it’s a portrait of inheritance, power, and the long shadows of memory. The finale song "Inheritance of Silence" concludes with a vocalized song about empty love, wealth and social responsibility.

Away until 16th September 2025. I shall miss my piano enormously.
