Bugs

This trumpet and piano instrumental version was done back in April 2021. I always loved the way Joe Cocker did this song - so loving and gentle. I think we all have or had someone special who we think of in this way. That they are so beautiful to you. I did the trumpet part but the piano arrangement and playing was done by Doug MacKenzie from Australia. A true genius on the piano. Written by Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher

You Are So Beautiful 2021

This is my original Lightningbug Night song from like 2006.  I was reminiscing of being a kid catching lightningbugs outside and putting them in jars (and letting them go later).  Multi-layer improvisation on old Yamaha keyboard and EWI4000s and guitar.

Lightningbug Night

This is my little sister singing.  It was recorded on a phone.  I wrote this song years before we recorded it.  This recording was performed on my mother's grand piano.  There is a new remastered version available.

Wish I Were A Butterfly

At some point, I got these flies in my bathroom and I couldn't get rid of the infestation.  I tried everything but nothing was working.  I finally had to purposefully manually wipe them out every few hours to stop the breeding cycle in addition to all the little traps.  This is an improvised song on Korg Radias keyboard.

Too Many Flies

This is one of my BOSS RC 50 loop pedal 1 track overdubs.  I recorded all parts improvised over the same track using Korg Radias keyboard, and a Korg Ko-1 Kaossilator.  I wouldn't call it trance techno, but instead "drone" techno.

Tick Trick

This is the remastered version of my very very old Lightningbug Night song. It is now more reggae sounding.  Imagine you are on a beach catching lightningbugs in a jar, with the intent to let them go afterwards.

I forced my little sister to sing some lyrics I wrote on a napkin, and I recorded it into my phone for the original version: https://soundcloud.com/nostrumuva/wish-i-were-a-butterfly
This is a remastered version with more of a jazzy trio middle section.

Les Hirondelles by Elisabeth Dicker and YuRob

I released The Knight Errant a few years ago, and have thought about doing a remix of the tune ever since. I guess this is more like a rearrangement.  The original was in 6/8 The return is 4/4 and has a more electronic, and dare I say it, dance vibe!

Reflective

Safe

Safe (Ft. Debra Buesking)

An electronic/industrial piece, with some fusion elements. Out of my comfort zone here! Maybe it reflects the tempest of the times.

Cosmic Call

I am always glad that you stop by and take the time to come.
Thank you as always.Crimson, vibrant red, red that attracts success.
The deeper, more passionate red is blood!
Blood symbolizes many emotions, such as confusion, compassion, coldness, emotion, and passion.
It is blood that we inherit.
It is the source of life, a deep, vibrant, warm and important color to us.

Deep Red in Scarlet

Ascension tells the story of a protagonist following his career path, overcoming fears and barriers, getting over self doubt and adverse conditions. Or maybe the tale of a space odyssey operated by a huge company and its rise to the most powerful entity of mankind. 

Choose whatever you want and please tell it in the comments.

This is a hybrid track starting with a solo violin and piano and strings accompaniment. A constant soft string ostinato is opposed to a synth pulse. The middle part starts very ambient with spacious pads but rises in tension with the help of the orchestra.

The climax is introduced with a strong melodic statement played by horns. It's further developed with modulation and varied instrumentation.

The outro is more or less a mirror of the intro.

Ascension

German composer Stefan Kraft reimagines Bruno Sanfilippo’s ‘Danza de Reflejos’ with a graceful string arrangement that deepens its emotional resonance. This reworked version blends poetic minimalism with cinematic warmth, offering a fresh yet faithful take. Released by the reflective neoclassical label ad21.

Danza de Reflejos Reworked

Listen

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.
