A long overdue tribute and credit goes to long time collaborator and most excellent and versatile drummer Walter Kelleher. 

Don't take my word for it. Have a listen to this variety of tracks and argue against me. 

You have all my respect, and hey, let's do it again ;-)

Go check on more what Walter can do at: http://www.cooldrumtracks.com/

Enjoy ;-)!

Collabs with Walter Kelleher (drums par excellence)

Chill and Smooth

Manuel Muzzu times two indeed; bassist and drummer par excellence. Great melodic and rhytmic sense, infusing every track with backbone and life. When Manuel joins a collaboration, no words are needed - he knows what to do and I trust him completely. Enjoy his skills to which I'm eternally grateful and obligated.

Lyrics:

Walk these mountains
Feel the fresh air
Watch the skyline
Free to wonder
What would happen
If I fall

The world belongs to me
Up here I’m feeling free
To let go

Flying high
Save goodbyes
Come what may
Gone to the sky

Hold on tight
The sun is bright
Have no fear
Live your life

Flying high
Save goodbyes
Come what may
Gone to the sky

Hold on tight
The sun is bright
Have no fear
Live your life

Find the fountain
Drink from wisdom
Reach for wonders
Be strong, don’t flounder
Take your chances
Just let go

Imagine what would be
A vision,  and you’ll see

Flying high
Save goodbyes
Come what may
Gone to the sky

Hold on tight
The sun is bright
Have no fear
Live your life

Up the Mountain, Into the Blue (ft. Rudi Lockefeir, Padruna, Flohbold, W. Kelleher & J. Trobro)

Remix  May 2020

No more fancy schmanzy jazz and piano melancholy; time for some epic Progressive Metal to rock your ears off.

On top of the sizzling bass/drum combo of pro rockers Jonny Trobro and Walter Kelleher, you'll be rewarded with one of this year's finest guitar solo performances from the burning fingers of Jerry Kramskoy.

Also, got to give it up to Italian prog metal unit DGM and their fantastic track "Reason", which inspired me to do this track.

Looking forward to re-master "Cut the Line" in the future with a real rock singer. If you know anyone who's willing and able, gimme a shout ;-)!

Rock on!

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Another war, another crackdown
Whatever for, it’s only a letdown
The core of evil is locked in the mansion
Whatever for, has evil been sanctioned

Verse 2
Across the world, bullets are flying 
Bombs are thrown, rockets explode
Screams are heard and people are dying
Blood is flowing and hope implodes

Bridge 1
Why, oh why
Why, oh Why

Chorus
Stop the madness
Cut the line
Have your reason
Fighting crime

Find an answer
Take your time
Solve the riddle
Cut the line

Verse 3
Across the world, people are tired
Fed up with bull, that nothing is done
Now is the time, to throw out the garbage
To hit and run, and bend all the rules

Verse 4
Change the old guard, lay down those weapons
Clean up the slate, get rid of the hate
Bring it on hard, cut through all sections
Almost too late, to change human fate

Bridge 2
The core of evil is locked in the mansion
Whatever reason, has evil been sanctioned

Lyrics: 

I’ll wait till the sun is high
And I’ll say those words you hide
No
Ho… Hey you
Oh… I’ll save you
I’m just here
I’m here to heal
I may be or not the same
I’ll wait till love releases our shackles and chains
I know we’re innocent but as it seems it’s the way
All I’ve ever thought is that you’d be yeah that you’d be
Far too weak, just off your freaking mind
Oh when my heart is fantasy
You’re the one for me for such a suave Art
Oh when your love is fantasy
Tie me up tie me up tie me yeah

And I’ll make love to your heart
No
Ho… Hey you
Oh… I’ll save you
Might sustain endeavour to release your icy chains
Oh just stay up night and day
You’d better stay (un)til blown away
I’ll wait till love release our shackles and chains
I know we’re innocent but as it seems it’s the way
All I’ve ever thought is that you’d be yeah that you’d be
Far too weak, just off your freaking mind
Oh when my heart is fantasy
You’re the one for me for such a suave Art
I’ll wait till love releases our shackles and chains
I know we’re innocent but as it seems it’s the way

Shackles & Chains (Bennborn/Kosmee ft. Daniele Turani & Manuel Muzzu)

It's a true honor to realize visions, the potential of an idea, through collaborations, with people from near and afar sharing the same passion - in this case, music.

I am so grateful for having the opportunity and means to pursue my musical dreams; there's really no excuse for me not to "Reach Higher", but my own imaginary limitations.

Listen to these guys go epic in between symphonic rock, pop, jazz, fusion (yes, I couldn't care less about labeling my music) in 6/8ths, originally inspired by a Norwegian progressive rock track and Pat Metheny Band and ended up...somewhere Florian, Manuel, Walter and Noemie took me - on an inspired journey. 

The song is my idea, but it's truly our song. Enjoy!

For me the sound of "West Coast" is a celebration of life; of joy and passion. It makes you look good, behind those sunglasses, driving your convertible in the setting sun, from L.A. to San Francisco on Highway 1 ;-)! 

Delusions of grandeur aside, I feel that my musical companions and I have reached yet another level of meshing our sounds and styles together effortlessly into the flow of music. Thus I am really proud to present "Solitude in Motion" to you all. Enjoy ;-)!

"I'm calling out to you again, lets try another time..."

I'm very proud and extremely happy with this first foray into Adult Oriented Rock (AOR) ballad land, infused by West Coast rock, with inspirations drawn from iconic Toto, among others. The all-star line-up this time around include James' soulful vocals, Daniele's pitch-perfect Steve Lukather guitars, Manuel's spirited bass, Walter's pure, syncopated drums and MoodyMo's, as always, elegant percussion that gels it all together. Thank you guys, together we are strong indeed ;-)!

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

I live with a heart
full of sweet memories of camomile
and what became of you
I find that our time
was far too short
and every time you cross my mind
I'm reminded of your Libra mind

Diplomatic and gracious
you were a fair minded soul
but you were very indecisive
you carried a grudge that took it's toll
However far away with your Libra mind
I'm calling out to you again 
lets try another time

The soul has a mind 
and it knew that our chemistry
was meant to be a bonafide reality 
and every time you cross my mind 
I'm reminded of your Libra mind

Diplomatic and gracious
and you ruled my very soul
but you were very indecisive
you carried a grudge that took it's toll
however far away with your Libra mind
I'm calling out to you again
lets try another time

Lyrics:

""Ah, the games we play..."

It’s the same dance as always
Same procedure every time
I move forward
You move back
For no reason and no rhyme

Just the shadow of your smile
Makes me smile inside
Just the smidgeon of a frown
Makes me doubt, again

Just the winking  of your eyes
Makes me wish I tried
Just the crinkle of your lips
Makes me wish I’d hide

You don’t care for the Devil
You don’t care for me
You don’t bare to be troubled
Oh, no, no, no

You don’t care for me, honey
You don’t see what’s right
You don’t care for the money
Oh, no, no, no

Thus
 if you don’t change your mind
I’d rather see you
dead

The devil may care
The blood running through my vein
Demands that you to dare
To share my pain

I want you to stay
To enter my personal hell
To share an eternity
Of passion

This Love (Higher)

/verse/
there's a feeling that I get 
when you're close to me

and it's more than attraction
it's more than chemistry

in your eyes I can see
every possibility

you are the answer to
and the source of every mystery

/chorus/
and I can see this love is like a flame
that is burning 
brighter than desire
girl you take me higher

this love is like a flame 
that is burning
one eternal fire
love will take us higher

no one else above this
nothing else could touch this
brighter than desire
girl you take me

no one else above this
nothing else could touch this
one eternal fire
love will take us higher

/verse/
when I'm locked inside my cage
you hold the key

you subdue my mind
and you set my spirit free

in your eyes I can see
every possibility

you are the ending
and the beginning 
of all I seek

This Love (Higher)

I hope you like my smooth jazz mix.  I am new to djing so my transition into each track is not as smooth as the jazz!

I intend to do many more of these mixes, as I need the practice, and I hope I continue to soothe your ears!

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...
