Tribal

Written and Arranged by Amy O'Bryan

I think of you quite often.  I think of you all the time.  Your voice never leaves my mind.  I think of you in the morning, early sunshine.  I think of you when I’m tucked in at night.  And if I could wonder, I would wonder one thing.  Do you wish to see me again?  ‘Cos if you don’t I’m alright.  I guess I’ll make it through.  But I’d hate living without you.  So, I’ll think of you often, think of you all the time as your voice echoes in my mind.

Living Without You

Infinity is an instrumental guitar piece that will be track 8 on the album Into The Waves, it will be a little break from song to mark the halfway point in the album.

Infinity

The world's situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. Hatred is driving people towards slaughter. Humans were not born to kill each other, and yet, why is this world overflowing with cruelty?

That's why I believe that humans should return to the forest once again. Enter the woods, converse with the trees, and dream. Such moments seem necessary for people today.

I have created this tune that auditorily and musically redistributes such thoughts electrically while gazing at the forest.

Peace.

Let F=F

I still pretend to write songs in English. Please, have mercy on me.

I always loved the amazing beauty of Stefania Sandrelli. In the picture from the movie "Sedotta e abbandonata" (1964) directed by Pietro Germi. A masterpiece of italian black comedy. I recently had the luck to meet her and she has been very kind with me

Asleep

Pop and Ambient/Instrumental works.

I'm a composer+songwriter+musician with poor self-marketing skills and no allegiance to a style/scene. In an earlier age, I played live music (guitar, bass, vocals) with various originals bands... but I've always been much more interested in writing+recording (or jamming with talented musicians) than playing for an audience.

I'd describe the majority of my vocal music as pop (in various subgenres) with interesting lyrics, mostly performed by myself with a few instruments+microphones and some software. I also have quite a few instrumentals (adapted chamber music, soundtrack etc) that I'll be posting eventually.

Occasionally, I also play bass in a band that plays some of my songs, as well as a lot of Grateful Dead: https://soundcloud.com/savage-gulf

Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy it! Play away, and leave a comment to start a discussion; likes and reposts are also appreciated :-)
