Ambient Jazz Chill

Dreams Unfold v2

Lyrics:
A Mystery to Me,
How You move,
through the flame,
so easily, 
it seems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Mystery to You,
Is how You move,
Through the flames,
So easily,
It seems.

It Seems

Some messy acid jazz.  Everything recorded into TEOP1 keyboard 4 track using some cheap headphones with a mic so I could hear the levels while I played drums (thank you Ruben for giving me your drumset, RIP).  Then added TEOP1 organ and then TEOP1 bass, then some vocals with delay.  Just an improv song in the middle of the week after work.  I randomly decide to scrape my drumsticks on the side of the cymbal for like 30 seconds in the middle of the song...

LYRICS:
Messy.
Messy me.
Dissonant and messy.
I'm so messy.
Messy me.

Messy Me

2 layers of some intentionally messy drums (switching between tribal and some breakcore-ish stuff), then 2 layers of TEOP1 keyboard (organ and a weird oscillating bass).  Just random improv inspiration feeling on this quality friday night here...  The middle of the song kind of gets into something more connected for a bit.

Disorganized

My AI gives the following description of this song: 
"This song begins with a restless, pulsing electronic groove, the sound of life, work, pressure, and the constant rush of everyday life. Then, at 1:20, a soft piano enters like a deep breath, a symbol of age, calm, and reflection. The melody rises and expands, carrying us into a space of serenity.
But nothing stays. At 2:24, the track breaks into jazz-rock and prog-rock textures, the sound of death, transition, and transformation. By the third minute, the lyrics unfold the central theme: that everything is constantly changing, but nothing truly disappears.
At 5:30, the music grows almost silent, contemplating the meaning of existence, before rising once again. And then, at 7:20, an unexpected trumpet leads the way (a rare guest in prog rock) guiding the rebirth, the transformation into something new.
The song closes on the mantra “it never dies”, fading into a long outro that feels like it could stretch beyond time itself."

Enjoy the ride.

Lyrics:

The rose exhales its scent,
Its final breath is spent.
An angel's gentle hand
Enfolds it in the land of silence.

A leaf, a fading star,
A word that breaks apart.
The world lets slowly go,
A withered, silent glow.

In passing sounds a song,
That drifts in silence long.
What dies is never gone,
But blooms in a new dawn.

The solid ground gives way,
A crack in timeless day.
But beauty stands prepared,
In change alone is shared.

In passing sounds a song,
That drifts in silence long.
What dies is never gone,
But blooms in a new dawn.

A silent yes... a speaking...
That names for us the ground of being...

In every break, a grace
That finds its gentle place.
A silent 'yes' to time,
For something more sublime.

A silent 'yes' to time,
For something more sublime.

In passing sounds a song,
That drifts in silence long.
What dies is never gone,
But blooms in a new dawn.

It breathes it all back in,
Where new worlds can begin.
Transformed is but the guise,
Held in the heart, it never dies...

Nothing's Never Gone

Your Wicked

Electronic horror song with dynamics at the beginning and end.  Lots of sliding trumpet.  Inspired by my other Evil Organ Grinder song.

My Little Puppet

Living Loving in the 80's

TEOP1 Field Keyboard and Korg Kaossilator, lots of Audacity post filters.

Halibut

For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.
