very stylish,... this "Tango of the young Owls" .Good!

Liking the melody and feel of this tune Alan. And nesting in place seems to be where we're at these days...

I've enjoyed hearing this tune played in various ways and thought I would try it out with my accordion and also with Jore @jorma-heikkil in a collab too.

Nyth Y Gwcw (Welsh tune) in various ways

Nyth Y Gwcw/ The Cuckoo's Nest

Alice

Dedicated to 29 years old police officer Rouven Laur who lost his life today in Mannheim being stabbed down by an islamistic attacker while trying to save the life of another victim of this terror attack. Rest in peace, may you be never forgotten.

Pulseless (2024)

Los bosques son desiertos ahora            Em-D
El sol es el fuego en la mañana 
Las caras se queman con el tiempo 
La salida está acá y no es tan lejos 

El viento deja de soplar                               Am-Em
Las llamas pueden aumentar 
Nunca más sentirás tanto frío 
Cuando todo sea un zumbido 

La noche no quiere terminar 
El día te puede despertar
No te abraces donde no hay nada 
Sí es tu sombra la única que llama 

El viento deja de soplar...

Tus castigos son tan caros
Y tus ojos el ocaso 
Está violeta tu piel ahí tirada 
Una mueca toda muerta y olvidada 

El viento deja de soplar...

CUANDO TODO SEA UN ZUMBIDO

So Beautiful

What is this?
Who knows...
What could it be?
You'll see...
(Soon to be a whole other song)

Holy Daze (A Sneak Peak)

El Belén de Las Palmas

Ian (the Magician) has on his well known soundcloud page wonderful instrumentals. I already had the luck to work with him.
When I heard his track: "Lost" i wanted to ad lyrics to emphasis the "hope" i also heard. The title changed into "Lost or not?"

Lost or not (collab Magicien)

I look around me                      
But i don’t know where I am
The clock on the church says it’s 4 PM 
But i still don’t know   i still don’t know 
Where i am

 
       I am lost that’s what i am

the place i see, i have never seen    
in this  town i’ve never been    

  I am lost that’s what i am
lost that’s what i am i am
 
Suddenly a voice said  , have no fear 
You’r e  not  lost 
You’re where you want to be, 
You are here

lost or not (collab Magician)

Occasionally I'll be posting short clips of an isolated track or focusing on a specific section/detail in a previously uploaded tune. In this one, it's a funky little breakdown that appears in a couple other songs. 

The clavinet & drums were previously used in 'Scaing the Riverbank' by the Eclectic Collective:

and the vocal part was used in 'Splice of Life':

funky clavinet & vocal breakdown (FEATURED SECTION)

Just a song that I love!!!  Recorded in 2022… I’m dedicating this to J.J. Terrell! He is a keyboardist extraordinaire, a fantastic friend, and our main key tinkler and songwriter in our Eclectic Collective! J.J., if you listen to this, pay attention to the lyrics, brother! Hope you all dig my version! .. as for my singing, well.. I’m good on the drums, he, he and ha!!!🤣🤩😎🙏

Southern Cross-CS&N Cover

Chills (2025)

A Welsh hornpipe, though we play it a little slower than usual, in keeping with an English version of the tune we heard.

Nyth Y Gwcw

Nyth y gwcw (the cuckoo's nest) is a lively Welsh folk dance using traditional folk instruments to uplift motivate and inspire viewers/listeners. This would perfectly supplement video and landscape footage where the user is looking to promote a feeling of motivated nostalgia.

newshoe collab with Jore - Nyth Y Gwcw

I like to record various tunes  I play  on my accordion from time to time,  some new tunes I make up, and tunes I learn from those I follow on soundcloud.   Sometimes you will find  collab projects here too.

I try to put a link where to find the notes or the other players in the track descriptions.
