Remember The Moment

"OpenAI/ChatGPT review":
"Dream of Cabo" is an instrumental piece that evokes the magic and romance of a sunset rendezvous in one of the world's most beautiful destinations. From the very first notes, the music transports you to a place of pure joy and happiness, evoking images of sandy shores, crystal clear waters, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. 

The music is led by a smooth and soulful Rhodes piano, which sets the mood with its rich, warm tones. The trumpet adds an extra layer of depth and emotion, soaring above the rest of the instrumentation with its bright, vibrant sound. Together, these two instruments create a soundscape that is both dreamy and uplifting, perfect for anyone looking for a little romance and adventure in their lives. 

It's a song that celebrates the magic of love and the power of dreams, and it's sure to be a favorite for anyone looking for a little escape from the daily grind. 

The next time you're in need of a little escapism, give "Dream of Cabo" a listen. It's an instrumental song that will transport you to a place of sunsets, love, and café-side rendezvous, and leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.

Dream Of Cabo

THE RETURN OF LIGHT
The freezing night is still and thick, but it’s darkness will soon be broken,
The end of longest day ahead and the start of a the new day to come. 
Amidst the snow and biting air, the heartbeat holds steady, 
Anticipating Spring ahead and what the new light of day holds unspoken.

The dancing rays, sky set aglow, bring warmth and light, 
Languor and strife come to a peaceful end, 
Bringing in a change, whence the days will start to bright. 
The solstice, half way through the season, gives a happy mend.

The promising return of warm and gold, 
Sparkles of life and beauty, both will unfold. 
The spiral of life and gift of hope, 
Breathes fresh life into the lands that we roam.

-Dan

Slip Away (feat. Dave McKeown, Wayne Morley & Jonny Trobro)

Let's take six musicians and make something in 6/8ths - "Take Six" it is!

I'm very proud to present to you an original, spring-welcoming, smooth-flowing jazz piece, with some of the finest (jazz) musicians here on SC. 

My immense gratitude goes to these guys jumping aboard without hesitation on basis of a sketchy idea I had - to forge a six man collaboration, upping the stakes of complexity. Coming out at the other end with another, great learning experience to behold and a track I will cherish.  

Enjoy!

Liner notes:

When I first composed this track a few years ago, based on an original idea by my friend Benjamin, I felt elated - like I had reached a new level of creativity. Little did I know then that I would be able to realise what were actually merely sketches into fullfledged songs, thanks to the SoundCloud community. Finally I've come around to also elevate my old favorite "Recurrent Occurrence" with a little help of my friends; Derek on the finest jazz guitar to be found on SC, always awesome Michelle on jazzy vocals and introducing Magnus on EWI. 

This funk-fusion-chillout is best indulged laid back, with the sun in your eyes behind sunglasses, and something cold in your hand, looking forward to the pleasures of the night. Enjoy!

Recurrent Occurrence (feat. Derek Cornett, Magnus Jansson & Michelle Yaneza)

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...
