SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS: COMPOSED AND PLAYED BY DS. 

PRELUDE: here introducing the main theme which will be heavily used in a much longer and more complex follow-up piece. RECORDED: audio-in handplayed, using two brand new Yamaha and Roland keyboards.

SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS: It will be an agnostic kind of suite, in the sense that it follows no particular rules in how to develop, it simply grows, fractal style, in its own way ... The 2nd part is to 95% ready, and is extensive. It will feature more guitar work, and have more ebbs and flow. It has a bit of a different dynamics and the 'Prelude' didn't integrate well when inserted there - let's use it like this, as a teaser for the real work ;)

The inspiration came from some perfect days in the north; bright, ice-cold winter landscapes, with fine layers of snow falling, the sun still shining through ...

DS 10th January 2020.

Update December 2020: a 20-minute PART II is in the making and likely to be released early next year... polishing some transitions...

Update April 2021: As it happens, it took me more than 2 years to complete the 25 minute long Zummer Znowflakes....

(To the SC IT staff: why do your Artificial-Idiot Engine play country-music with lyrics directly after my Prelude? There are not exactly lots of similarities? Any monkey would make a better guess)

Bathed In Blue Standing Without You - Conover & McWalter

I've been standing here for way too many hours
I've been standing here for way too many hours

I don't want to fall between the cracks in the pavement
I don't want to see the bodies in the cement
Why do I think these things
The way that your mother sings
I'm bathed in blue standing without you

I've been standing here for way too many hours
I've been standing here for way too many hours

I don't want to fall between the cracks in the pavement
I don't want to see the bodies in the cement
Why do I think these things
The way that your mother sings
I'm bathed in blue standing without you

I've been standing here for way too many hours
I've been standing here for way too many hours

For those who spotted Elvis on the album cover, there's a reason for it. Elvis Presely was a huge Sex Pistols fan. After his death, it was revealed that Elvis not only had the entire Sex Pistols' albums and UK/USA single releases, but he also had in his private collection, custom made replicas of every bass guitar ever played onstage by Sid Vicious. Go ahead and fact check all you want, just don't step on my blue suede shoes.

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
