Gated Synths From a Warm Room

Keep It Simple

Keep It Simple 2

Send in the Bagpipes

This song is a a mixture of an analog tape recording I did years ago accompanied by new synths. I used Studio One 5 to extract a chord track and then obtain a midi track via Melodyne. What you hear is the original tape, midi sounds and playing along with new synths. The analog tape is faded in and out. Any time you hear the harp being arpeggiated, that's the old tape.

And My Parking Space
 
I saw a building go up today
In a city that didn’t need another building
And My view was blocked when I didn’t even have a window,
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
And I saw a gated park today,
In a city that had a thousand parks already.
And it was locked and required a key
And I was arrested when I tried to enter. 
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
And I wondered why I bothered
To make this place my home
When I couldn’t even manage
To make a space my own,
 
And I saw a sidewalk being built today
On a street where no one was in a hurry. 
And I heard a shout to cross the street
When there wasn’t a light to warn you. 
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
Instrumental
 
And I wondered why I bothered
To make this place my home
When I couldn’t even manage
To make a space my own,
And why a woman without a child
Walks a lonely road to find one,
Or why a man who wants a mate,
Takes all the steps to be alone. 
And why the things we want to keep,
By time and chance move on. 
It’s not like we don’t see it,
But when we do, it’s gone. 

And my parking space,
And my parking space
Gone.

Pigments Song

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.
