SUMMER SNOWFLAKES: variations on a theme. Intended to be released at the first snow fall, but it never came... So I kept recording.

INSTRUMENTS used: Electric Guitar, two steel 6-stringed guitars, 12s guitar, classical guitar, two hardware keyboards (rendering the pianos, organs, bass guitar, chimes, bells, flutes, strings), pedal effects.

The music grew like a fractal in all directions and became quite vast in scope: should I have split it into shorter tracks? Many would say yes, but I didn't fancy that and instead went for the ”LP option"; an instrumental, meditative journey, inspired by the genre invented by Mike Oldfield in the 70s.

When I first heard his work, many years ago, I didn't first get it, but I was intrigued. "What is the purpose?" was my early reaction. But I couldn't shake it off and became hooked to the complexity of his instrumental music, and how it seemed to constantly mutate into new sections. I kept listening, and gradually discovered the many hidden secrets. And it led me to become very interested in classical music.

SUMMER SNOWFLAKES is made in this tradition. Not explicitly trying to mimic Mr. Oldfield, but admittedly clearly influenced by his method. And why not? Was it wrong that Brahms wrote symphonies just because Beethoven already had done nine legendary ones? Would the world have been a better place if Shostakovich had stayed away from writing Preludes and Fugues for the piano? Should no pop songs have been allowed after Beatles? I say, let us be shamelessly inspired by the gigants and make some efforts to create something! Throw an egg if you must, but I think any sincere attempt to compose is welcome.

When I decided to go for a full length track, my vision was (somewhat childishly) the thought of the younger myself; the days when I was a die-hard Oldfield fan and had stumbled upon a new release: always a rare event, an instant buy, running home, headphones on, expectations high, launching it: the first sacred discoveries ... My track may not live up to this, but is a tribute to those days and that feel.

The recording was quite an undertaking and I didn't want to let myself down. I worked on it since December 2018, and was occasionally quite frustrated about it. I avoided midi, and tried to hand-play it all (for the fun of it) - often leaving me in big trouble. I admit there are some sun spots due to this, but I consider them as my finger prints and evidence that a human did this, not a machine. .

Art cover: by DS 2021, reflecting the heavy reliance and overlaying of pianos and organs, and the combinational nature of the music.

Special Thanks to Mark Hermse, Mike Hilton and Wojciech Langner for support and inspiring discussions!

Never been to Birdland though I’m a big Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker fan. This track, however, is more about the Tweetie variety, they are such a delight, I love listening to their toons. If you have time, I urge you to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdIoL2YLu7Y . Ghislaine is such a talent, her photos and videos just capture the magic.
  
I’m on my way to Birdland
That’s where I wanna be
Modern day living so unforgiving 
It’s not a place for me

You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be

I just love their beaks
Their feets, their tweets
And they’re so reet petite
So why’re being so thoughtless
Turning up the heat
We’re the pest
Messing up the nest and…
You know the rest  
You know the rest
You know the rest 
  
You’re better off in Birdland
It’s so plain to see
Ask the crows coz they all know
Birdland’s the place to be
Birdland’s the place to be 
Birdland’s the place to be

Dead can't dance with Jennifer Roe

'For Now' is a dedication to "Mother Earth and is in part, the sorrow that I feel for the desecration of Planet Earth. The piece is in the form of a soundscape, for the want of a better genre description. However that aside, I still have a positive attitude towards over coming the forces of darkness, that are intent upon destroying this beautiful place that we all call home. So Happy New Year to all and health and happiness for 2022.

For Now

A hike to the park, past the concert garden, out into the no man's wood land and back.

Eine Wanderung zum Park, vorbei am Konzertgarten, hinaus in in den Niemandsland Wald und zurück.

I was inspired by some older synthesizers for this song. So SQ80, Wavestation and D50 were used, along with some modern VST plug-ins. The song refers to an older song and thus connects past and present.
Ooh yes, i cooked the picture myself once again ;-)

Zu diesem Lied haben mich einige ältere Synthesizer inspiriert. So wurden denn auch, SQ80, Wavestation und D50, neben einigen modernen VST Plugins, eingesetzt. Das Lied nimmt Bezug auf einen älteren Song und verbindet somit Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.
Ach ja, das bild hab ich mal wieder selbst gekocht ;-)

Lazy Day Return   /   Ft. Ed Cunningham

About saturated leaves and dreams while walking.

November

Polaris, also called Alpha Ursae Minoris, Earth’s present northern polestar, or North Star, at the end of the “handle” of the so-called Little Dipper in the constellation Ursa Minor. Polaris will be closest to the north celestial pole in about 2100, and, because of the precession of Earth’s axis, in several centuries Polaris will be several degrees away. Polaris is actually a triple star, the brighter of two visual components being a spectroscopic binary with a period of about 30 years and a Cepheid variable with a period of about 4 days. Its changes in brightness are too slight to be detected with the unaided eye. The apparent visual magnitude of the Polaris system is 2.00. It is about 447.6 light-years from Earth, and, because it is the closest Cepheid variable, measurement of its distance is important for calibrating other means of measuring cosmic distances.

Composed, played, recorded and mixed by Davor Dojchinovich. 
Recorded at Happy Cloud Studio Seattle, Master Powered by Dolby 3/1/2021.
Davor: Piano, Bass Guitar, Fretless Bass Guitar, Guitar, Keyboards, Percussions, Vocals Programming, Guitar Sampling and Production.
