J’aime vraiment beaucoup l’atmosphère lente de cette chanson, l’originalité et ta voix, ça donne un côté très sensuel !

I’m a fan of Velvet underground so listening to this is a pleasure. This is real to the core, you can get lost in it 👍

la poetica delle piccole cose. mi piace molto!

@francescocartocci Grazie per le tue orrecchi e il tuo amore, amico. Lo apprezzo. :)

Thats a great guitar sound youve got down Scotty.

This is a gentle embrace in musical form, where the soft strumming of the guitar and the soothing voice blend into a perfect harmony. It feels like a quiet moment shared between lovers, where every note and lyric captures the tenderness of being lost in each other's presence.❤️

Nothing More

Feel the wind in your face
blowing across the bay
you stand up tall
with your back against the wall

watch the waves raging
and the seagulls chasing
you’re so done with seeing
what the world has become

All that is left
is here with me
nothing more nothing less
just me and my fear

through the eye of the storm
there comes a barque
it carries a load 
so precious but worn 

And when the day was done
and darkness had been gone 
you’re starring stunned at
heaven’s vault in the sun

All that is left
is here with me
nothing more nothing less
just me and my fear

Nothing More

in a garden
she is gazing
at an apple

she is naked
doesn’t realize
and she wonders

in the sun
asking:

“Listen honey,
would you like some
just between us?”

perilous
picnic

she don’t worry 
she can take the heat
Mother Courage
ends up in the street

east of eden
she is toiling
for her children

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

Rarely is an instrument as linked to a mood as cello is to melancholy

Cello Mood

I was honoured to be given the OK to add some accompanying instrumentation to a lovely song written & performed by Takken Wish (https://soundcloud.com/takken-wish). The lyrics crept up on me as I was listening to the song for musical ideas; it reminds me of a similar long lost old friend from my younger years who drifted off to somewhere...

I'm playing the upright bass, organ, and cello here (all on keys), and we've each uploaded a slightly different version of the cello part. Check out Takken's version, which has a more layered cello arrangement:

An earlier, alternate take with no additional accompaniment:

Thanks so much Takken for writing this touching song, and letting me sprinkle on my own touches!

lyrics: Scotty & Gems

Baby, paint your nails green today,
naked on the couch as I play with my lady.
As the sun shines through the curtains delicately. 
And the birdsongs that surround us match my melody. 

Greeeeen naaails.
And soooo free.
Come back one day and make me feel this way.
One day.

Trying out some sound samples from the popular Splice website, and whipped up this thing in just a few hours, combining sampled loops with my own playing. Most of the track is from samples I chose and arranged, and my playing contribution is mainly the organ, drum fills & effects, and most of the middle 'Funk' section, including the vocal bits (Funk section is my favourite part, ha!). 
Not sure if this is a final version, but kinda fun experimenting.

Any critique / suggestions from you electronic music peeps out there, or anyone, is very welcome! (as always.) Here's a couple other electronica tunes I've got buried in my collection. There's more in there somewhere...

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.
