I hope to someday finish animation I started years ago of flamingos in the rain dancing to this song.

Synth harp, guitars, clarinet, cellos, and bass set to hit hop, conga, and bongo beats at a tango’s pace of 70 bpm. Rain audio recorded live in December 2023.

I wrote an extended version of this track more than a decade ago during a time I was experiencing intense physical pain. As I fled inwardly into creativity to escape, this music narrated the discovery of a quiet harbor from pain.

Later I became amused watching a wildlife documentary of flamingos and their mating dance. As they marched together in step, abruptly turning their heads and beaks known as head flagging to an unknown beat accentuating their synchronized rhythm, I imagined flamingos dancing the tango. Initially I had ambitions to create an animated short with Tango In The Rain as the soundtrack. With time constraints, I leaned more toward the immediacy of digital music-making than animation and discovered pain relief in the process. And as a fan of old movies, this tune evolved into my fantasy score for a different Singin' in the Rain type of musical of animated dancing flamingos.

I hope the music takes you to your own safe harbor, hopefully a place of grace, comfort, and peace. My best wishes to you.

Tango In The Rain

Whilst you're all waiting on the next album, here's an EP to keep you going.

The Ballad Of Wood Heart And Cold Bone

I don't know any japanese, sorry if it doesn't make sense :)

Forward GO! - Miku

An attempt at a pop tune, but can crossover to other genres. The songwriter in me had this love ballad tucked away, and seemed time to finish the tune. I've got some lyrics too. Kind of sappy but that's okay.

The main guitar carries the melody. Slow, simple, and gentle.

Dedicated to whom I've given my deepest love. And to those who need some extra love to counter hate or fear they might face.

The feeling I had when I was writing the music was what I get from a King's "You've Got a Friend" and Richie's "Endless Love" (I wish the song could compare!). 

Guitar synth, keyboard, and harp set to shakers with a heartbeat kick for a relaxed 58 bpm.

Something different for the holidays.

A lot of synths, keyboard, guitars, bass, bassoon, sleigh bells, shakers, tambourine in a mix of beats from hip hop to pop at 85 bpm. Migrating geese in flight recorded live October and November 2023.

So I had recorded geese calls to use in music. What developed was a surprise to me, Wild Geese music that came pouring out in one eight-hour period on the day before winter solstice. Don’t know if it’s good — just what happened when the geese took me on the journey with them, flying high to their good weather hideaways or on a trip home.

Wild Geese
