Piano From a Warm Roon

meine Krippe

und ich werde geboren ohne Kleider
ein Menschlein, klein, hilflos
wenn ich es recht bedenke

und auch mir strahlt ein Stern,
und heißt mich willkommen...

my nest

and I am born without clothes
a human being, small, helpless
when I think about it

and a star shines for me too,
and welcomes me...

Epic orchestral piece, with cello lines heroically composed and performed by Fabian Boreck! @fabianboreck_cellist

The Rise Of Genesis (Eric Heitmann and Fabian Boreck)

When Space Cat was on the way to an old friend, he discovered an abandoned space station. 

Curious how cats are, he docked at the station and entered it.
Although the station was deserted, someone or something seemed to be watching him.

Will Space Cat be able to solve the mystery of the abandoned space station and escape his pursuer?

The Abandoned Space Station

So honored to be in collaboration with 1234567890 (Peter) and Debra Buesking on this track that first started out as an instrumental lament in a Celtic style.   It is no overstatement to say that Peter is one of the finest lyricists/poets on the Cloud.  More of his music and poetry can be heard at soundcloud.com/user-264930040.  More of Debra's brilliant creativity and playing can be heard @debra_buesking.

"And so to this…a song of sorrows.
Impassive moods shimmer grey from misted hollow yesterdays,
Stolen for the bleak tomorrows strewn upon our stony ways.
In enfolded dusks we watch in thrall as snows upon the migrant fall.
A massing stream of human husks, a currency, tragic traffic monetized,
Laundered of their simplest dreams. Kindled fading hopes bestride
Whose futures market crashed it seems, for his sickly child beside.

But thence the Noel star aglow; sapphire blue flashing light of hope,
Above the seething forlorn lines is surely set to rise.
As if upon the migrant three we know, kings mimicking the trope.
Man meets man’s humanity in heartfelt care, lives to de-commoditise.

And when trafficker before the final audit bashful, fain appears,
Rancid cash in offshore banks o’erflowing billowed surplus well.
From credit to the debit side we glance, and see a soul in deep arrears;
The ledger to be set aside, replaced with first class trafficked seat to hell.

When the Virgin Mother’s tears ease at last of speared pain,
When satan’s armies’ magazines vast of vice are finally spent,
When welcome arms cross razor wires, compassions fall as softest rain.
Christian helping hands of hope aspired shall end this fair lament.
…and so to this…a song of hope.

And So to This  (1234567890; Poem and Narrator, Debra Buesking, Piano & Synth; David Dunham, Guitar)

The following is once again the source for this concerto:

[...... The Six Brandenburg Concertos
[...... and the Four Orchestral Suites
[...... in Full Score
[...... Published by Dover, 1976
[...... ISBN 0-486-23376-6
[...... Library of Congress Catalog Number 76-12016

Although this was written as a Violin Concerto,
I thought I would try to blend some other instruments together
to make it sound a little bit like a music box, or an old timey Polyphon:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphon


So the substitutions ran like this:

-----ORIGINAL: = LOGIC:

-----Violino    I = Accoustic Guitaro
-----Violino   II = Roundback Accoustic
-----Violino  III = Bluegrass Banjo

-------Viola    I = String Decay
-------Viola   II = String Tub
-------Viola  III = 80s Wave Synth

-Violincello    I = Fast Pad
-Violincello   II = Droplet Harp
-Violincello  III = Alien Lead

Violine e Cembalo = Basses


In the process as I neared completion, 
I occasionally found that, after I had done a SAVE
I then realized that I had DELETED a whole track.
So, by the time I had finished making this,
I had wished I had selected something else besides the mallets.
They were beginning to take their toll on my eardrums.

ALSO: When I was in high school, I bought a little book of Bach's 2 Part Inventions that also included the Brandenburg Concertos. I transcribed this particular tune as a piano piece. This one I played well over a thousand times and probably only got through it twice without making a mistake. As such, my mom estimates that number to be much more...poor thing.

Addendum:
I had just posted this on SC when I played it for my mom.
She passed away within a couple of weeks after that,
but she was never one to go on about these soundtracks I would make.
On this particular one though, for the first time ever,
she said, "Turn it up a little bit."

Now coming from her, that was high praise.

Short edited version of a song I made in 2017.

Duet Of Tears

Sometimes you feel like you belong to another place. A remote place in which you find out positive emotions and marvelous people; maybe an interesting and surprising person. I think about the Mediterranean while writing these words. An island is capable of enclosing all this meaning, a little spot full of dreams and strong vibes.

This piece has been composed during the confinement experienced in Spain due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

The Island

Inspired by my old studιes on classical guitar of some very old music styles, like Medieval-Renaissance (15-17th century) with a modern touch of ambient guitar playing (a classical-ambient guitar fusion!)

Sometimes it's just so Damn hard to say Goodbye.
When you know 
Dreams age gone
Feelings unclear
Do you hold on 
for something that you thought was there?

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
