Growing up I loved listening to a Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd, and Eric Clapton, I certainly put you in their league…You are avery gifted musician.👍🏻🎶🎶🎶

Wonderful sparse notes, Mike, with so much vibe!

Returned for hearing your vibrant guitar voice, lyrical stuff my friend!

So beautiful cover! The stratocaster sound and style is really close to Oldfield's signature tone! Could you please tell that signal chain (from pickup postion to the digital domain)? (

Had a couple of hours to myself today, sitting on the East coast of Canada, thinking of my parents. Found a copy of this song last week while cleaning out my studio... ah, memories.

Composer: James Gordon (Canadian)

Arranged by Tamarack (Canadian folk group founded by James Gordon)

Frobisher Bay - a cappella cover

Ils ont la part du lion , les plus malins
Ils écrasent le monde les plus malsains
Ils imposent leur pouvoir avec des lois d'airain
Ils savent toujours vous briser les reins
Des gens faibles et peureux
Des gens qui sont si malheureux
Qui pensent qu'il leur faut un père
Mais ce père est en fait un pervers
Alors, le pouvoir laisse loin derrière
La justice et l'amour pour la guerre
Mourir pour eux mais dans l'ordre c'est important
Les gens donneront tous leurs enfants
Un jour après tous les cimetières
Et après toutes ces mises en bière
Les survivants prieront les mères
De pardonner toutes ces guerres

in an accent long unspoken
in an ancient dialect
curses, blessings, symbols, token
the janitor, the architect
born to care and to dissect
and dream the dream of the unwoken

like a bird within a flight of thought
falling upwards, held within
an endless tunnel copper-wrought
bats, the arching acrobats and next of kin
to passage-dwellers of the interim
who cuddle up head-down and midnight-fraught

about to take flight to the light
like a silent spell and serpent word
burning brightly in the night
like a river’s moon shedding a midnight beam
sheathing the last, unseeing and unseen
sheathing the last remaining sword

Jaunt through colors of Autumn

This album was originally released for streaming in 2020 and is appearing on SoundCloud for the first time now.  It was my first album featuring works for a large ensemble with music performed by Camerata Philadelphia conducted by Dr. Stephen Framil with guest artists Brett Deubner and Peggy Pei-Ju Yu. Tracks include THE FOUR ELEMENTS for viola and string orchestra, PAVANNE FOR A WORLD WITHOUT WAR for string orchestra, IN PRAISE OF REASON for cello, 2 horns and string orchestra and MYSTICAL SONGS for soprano, viola and string orchestra setting poems by the Spanish mystic Fernando Rielo.  The album's title comes from one of his poems.

Learning To Fly (Tom Petty cover)

A guitar cover/improvisation and collaboration by David Svensson and Mike Hilton, and a dedication to the life of Dr Oldfield, whom sadly passed away recently.
Father to Sally, Mike, and Terry Oldfield.
We dedicate this version of "Let There Be Light", one of Mike Oldfield's brilliant pieces of music to the Oldfield family, we are also greatly inspired by these gifted and very talented musicians.

David, asked me to perform some guitar on his version, and is one of his favourite pieces by, Mr Oldfield, and I gladly accepted. 
This is also one of my first at an improvised cover, and a great choice by, David, indeed.
And I must say it was an absolute pleasure working on his superb arrangement.. a very talented player devoted to music, and sincere friend. 
More of, Dave's, great music here.. https://soundcloud.com/davidjsvensson

Let There be Light (cover)

Let There be Light (Mike Oldfield cover) collaboration with David Svensson.

With all that's going on, sometimes the heart just wants to flee to a place of innocence. Maybe we could meet there...

Return To Innocence

Welcome and thanks for listening.. 

Composer of guitar instrumentals from Australia, producng music & film from the home studio in my spare time purely for enjoyment.

Inspired by some of the guitar greats & instrumental bands from the 60's and 70's era. 
I produce mostly original instrumental guitar tracks. a few covers & tributes, and involved in the odd collaboration.

In the spirit of the old Classic Soundcloud, please feel free to leave a comment or like.. would be greatly appreciated. In recent years it's been difficult to leave timeline comments possibly due to some AI issue, but i will certainly try to return by mutual interaction where possible.

To family, followers, friends and Soundcloud, thanks for all the support and inspiration over the years and hopefully many more to come.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the music.
