so beautiful, thank you for the journey of life in the beauty of your music.

Romantic and melancholic piece! Well done!

A lovely well arranged piece and a thoughtful project - enjoyed this a lot Pete :)

Deep music that speaks the words of emotions. I like!

Reminds me of rolling hills and a forest breeze. Effective orchestration and blending of themes

The Cascade - a Trip through Time 

From first cry, to last breath,
our thoughts and feelings form 
the cascade we call life.

Day after day, hour after hour,
some grow stronger, whilst others fade,
an endless wave to journeys end
and in the end ...

are we but just a memory ?

Mr Bouzouki Dec 2021

Background

This track appeared as a result of some words created in December 2021, that followed on from similar set of words in the Metaphysical series.  As before, the words acted as a catalyst for a the orchestral piece. This track is now track three  of the ongoing 'Metaphysical' series.

This track has taken quite a while to arrive but I've finally got an ending I'm relatively happy with. Talking of the ending. it does feature a 'book-end' moment right at at the end that might be distressing to some. You have been warned. 

I must admit I quite like the idea of life being a collection of flowing and interlocking feelings and memories. I also felt I had to have the cry of a baby and a last breath to book-end this track.

The Cascade - A Trip Through Time

A collection of songs, instrumentals and orchestral pieces charting my adventures in home studio recording and production.  All original compositions using voice, acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes using altered tunings), bouzouki, low and high whistles and MIDI instrumentation. 

I'm also using VST instrumentation to create classical compositions and integrating orchestral sounds into my songs and instrumentals.
