Phil you are a sonic magician . Embraced Proudly up on SOTDD.Your truth Brothers Pace & Joey D

don't really hear Tormato, I get the pg references, but what I hear is Brian Eno on a good day - I dig it!

A further trans-atlantic collaboration with the very talented @ray-mcginnis. Always an honour and a pleasure. You can also comment on this track on Ray's cloud too: www.soundcloud.com/ray-mcginnis/can-you-hear-me-mcginnis-mcwalter

Ray sent me some superb stems, I just put them in an anti-grav vase. Luckily the new arrangement worked with our rockets' décor... but please dim the LEDs, get comfortable, turn it up loud and dream along out of the space station in disembodied flight down to the new world below being explored by your AI's...

Author's Note: The enigmatic implication of the repeated question "Can you hear me?" may mean your AI drone may sadly never receive the response that we hear... (before losing power or having to return to base unrequited?)

Ray: Keyboards, bass, guitars, drums and space girl/AI!
Phil: Vocals, lyrics, melody, additional lead keyboards, production, mastering

Can You Hear Me?

I’m wondering how we never met
Wandering here should have put us close 
As close as we’ll get (as close as we’ll get)
And we never touch, we never talk
We never look, we'll never walk yet
The mountains are all around us
Seas surround us but
The mist, it's in our eyes 
"Can you hear me?"
.
.
"I can hear you..."

YOUNG BUZZARD by #AdaDaveed and Roger Walker .

Creative Spirit Online: "Colorful and engaging from beginning to end, this is the latest of Robert John Brooks’ virtuosic offerings. The three movements (Rondo, Variations and Finale) are scored for large orchestra—a twenty-minute journey through sometimes tender, often energetically playful, occasionally threatening, and ever-changing musical textures. Brooks’ musical gift lies in his ability to create highly structured, clearly defined musical gestures within the context of a challenging and thoughtful harmonic and rhythmic language."

“Contrapunctus III” was completed in February 2024 in Fairview, TX. The work is in three movements: Rondo, Variations, and Finale'. Performance time is about 20 minutes. Printed and electronic copies of the score are available now and instrumental parts will soon be available soon from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com.

Poem (as published in
A Single Loop of Fortunes) /
copyright jo richter:

once I stood, Pygmalion said
on a pile of rubble, all
of which was not-she

to surface, Pygmalion said
is a destructive endeavour
as the chisel precludes the sculpture

now I drink, Pygmalion said
entangled drafts of air, all
of which is not-she

and craftsmanship, Pygmalion said
oh, craftsmanship engenders the
sanding of the soul

rubble

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...

Most of my tracks are available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, etc, just search for Phil McWalter or follow the link below the track and stream or buy as you wish. 

Wow!!  417K plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends 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), 'sing' if unavoidable, 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 Ultimate 14, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples. I love Hollow Sun.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Mackie 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 compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please just ask!

P.S. I use SC Repost to publish my work to other stores & streaming services. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
