Improvised lead lick over a rhythm (Dittox2) - a live take recorded on an Iphone using Spire app. I used my old Fender Strat for this and an early Trademark 60 amp. 

Thanks for listening.

On The Road To Find Out - Yusuf Cat Stevens
Well, I left my happy home, to see what I could find out
I left my Folk and Friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well, I hit the rowdy road, and many kinds I met there
And many stories told me on the way to get there 
(Chorus)
So, on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out 
So, much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (throughout)
But in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song, saying not to worry
(Chorus…..and then instrumental)
Well I found myself alone, hoping someone would miss me
Thinking about my home and the last woman to kiss me
Well sometimes you have to moan, when nothing seems to suit ya’
But nevertheless you know, you're locked towards the future
And I found my head one day, when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, ‘cause there is no use in lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin…..Pickup, pickup a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup the good book now
(Slower) Yes the an-swer lies with-in, so why not take a look now
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup The Good Book now

On The Road To Find Out - Version

Elon raves on with Electro Dub

May we be in a state
Of discarnation
Beyond
Without a physical body
Do you not love being there?

Discarnation

White Owl (part 1) - (pinkdot & my antiques in my index #2 prod. by pinkdot)

'Accessing The Inner Worlds' is a jazz Fusion piece inspired by a feeling of freedom to search our creative gifts on this musical journey. No contraints on having to stay with the boundaries of a given or perceived "genre". I hope we have achieved this goal and once again for me, a priviledge and pleasure to share the composition and arrangement with my friend Georg Boehme. Georg's wind arrangements and playing on this piece once again illustrating his immense skills as a player, arranger and composer.

Space Within #6 (from the field)

Album mêlant titres de rock et néo-classique, le tout dans une ambiance rebelle et mélancolique 

Thème (Partie 7)

The title of this album my attempt at translating the Farsi phrase قارچ‌های غربت to English. It comes from the poem "The Sound of Water's Footsteps" by Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri. 

A more literal translation of the phrase would be Mushrooms of "Ghurba", an originally Arabic word that has several meanings, including senses of estrangement, alienation, loneliness, being away for home, and longing.

I composed many of these pieces during and after Israel's 12 day war on Iran in the summer of 2025. Being  an Iranian living abroad for 15 years, I had never felt Ghurba the way I felt it this summer, as I realized more and more that Iranian lives matter to exactly no one.
Ghurba and all its meanings overshadow most of the pieces in this album. 

The music heard on this post is the final track, which is an improv piece with the same title as the album.

In the album art, I tried to depict a mycelial network creeping up the piano and my body, and expanding into the ground, maybe a thread or two reaching the other side of the world where home is.

As Sepehri's poem says "Who cares if sometimes the mushrooms of ghurba start to grow?" 

You are right Sohrab, nobody does...

Improv 10 - Mushrooms of Longing

“Alone in an uncanny room, the man sits on his stool. The walls around him seem alive—watchful, silent observers of his every breath. In the stillness, the music becomes his dialogue: hesitant notes, resonant pauses, an ongoing search for calm in an unsettling place. It’s not simply a moment of repose—it’s a confrontation with what lies behind the eyes of the room.”
