This is a superb song. Not only that - it's art.

Most amazing vocal flying harmonies...wow, great song scape-ing and splashes of really cool sounds that plunge forward...excellent shape-shiftin'-swingin' song XOXOXO

How did I manage to miss this stonking great hit for so long? Loving those sublime harmonies on the 'Good' and it feels like something Bowie and Mick Ronson should have made. Hammond vibe adds so much too. Glad I eventually caught up with this beauty. Cheers Phil for sharing

ooh those dynamics. to die for.  I like the standard, modest bass in the early verse, sets a pleasant starting point to a crazy adventure.

Very impressive all around - song, vocals, instrumentation - very cool stuff

such moments last. Great belated discovery, Phil. You got me high on this

Great work, Phil and Rick, with a huge, Pink Floyd power. Love those thick chords, great dynamics and beautiful balance between the drums, guitars and vocals.

Great story telling with a retro vibe, loving  this brass!!!

The Art of Hoquet - D'Amore
November 2020
Duration: 2:45
Cover Art: John-Marc Ventimiglia

Based on the 14th century 2 part Ballade, Je ne cuit pas, by Guillaume de Machaut.  
The composition is written in a contemporary style using the technique of hoquet.

The term "hoquet" is a French word (in Old French also hocquet, hoket, or ocquet) meaning "a shock, sudden interruption, hitch, or hiccup".  Although the term is in reference to the secular music of the 13th and 14th centuries in France, the technique, under other names, could be heard in different types of music across the world as early as the 11th century.  Hoquet is the rhythmic linear technique using the alternation of notes, pitches, or chords.  In medieval practice of hocket, a single melody is shared between two (or occasionally more) voices or instruments such that alternately one voice sounds while the other rests.  Hoquet is also used in Indonesian Gamelan music, African music, Classical music, Jazz and popular music.

For strings, woodwinds, harp, bandura, celeste, virtual instruments and percussion

The Art Of Hoquet - D'Amour

This is the last upload on my cloud for the year, although I have a few collabs yet to finish. I will then take some time out, as quite a lot of things on my plate, among them moving house.
As always take good care out there, and let your love flow <3<3<3

JUST FOR A MOMENT I WAS FLYING

At first I just bounced off the floor 
Stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Now I’ve fallen over
Never really got back up
Over and over
Down I go
‘Cos of you
‘Cos of wonderful you

If there's nobody listening (do they hear?)
If there's nobody there (do they see?)
Did I trip, did I really fall (did I fall?)
Or see wonderful you? (wonderful you!)
Wonderful you?

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Hands full of air
Lungs full of nothing
And I still see you everywhere
You still knock me over girl

[Sax Solo]

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

At first I just bounced 
And stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk...

Just For A Moment I Was Flying

Love John Prine's music! This is a quick raw cover of one of his songs.
Check out John's music on YouTube.

Knocking On Your Screen Door (Very raw John Prine cover by Tony)

LYRICS BELOW
Here's a song inspired by the coronavirus pandemic (but it's upbeat and hopeful). Big thanks to Ben Lokuta, who recorded the drums remotely. Ben is an amazing young drummer currently studying at Berklee College of Music and the drummer for Distant Cuzins. I played gigs with Ben all last year, including at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Ben plays a huge drum set with two kicks, so mixing was a bit of a challenge! I told Ben to let loose in the last verse, and he really came through.
All four guitars I play in this song are Gretsches--hollowbody or semi-hollow--all with different pickups:
Gretsch 5422T with Filtertrons
Gretsch 5622T with Super HiLo trons
Gretsch 2622TG with P90s
Gretsch 2420 with Broadtrons
...so this is definitely a Gretsch song!

        Take a Minute
............Words & Music by Timothy Walsh
You say you can’t go the distance, put up too much resistance,
even though I’m telling you that I’ll be there for you.

No, I don’t even want to hear it.   No time to check out though we fear it.
The sea’s about to swallow up this human world we know.

Chorus

You’re watching all your screens.  Never get outside.
Stand among the trees.
You’re always stuck inside like a person who’s confined
never walking in the breeze.

You say the clock is ticking—watch as the whole world is sickening.
I just say that you have got to think beyond us two.

So roll up your sleeves and pitch in—no use just always bitching.
You have got to use your life and stand up for what’s true.

Vocals, guitars, bass: Timothy Walsh
Drums: Ben Lokuta
Recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees)

TU ME VOIS TU ME REGARDES MAIS TU ME FLASHES PLUS
TOUT JUSTE SI TU PRÊTES GARDE À MON PARDESSUS
AH C’EST DUR DE SE REVOIR M’A DIT JOHNNY EN RÊVE
AVANT DE S’ÉVAPORER DANS LA NUIT DE SAINT-TROPEZ

ALORS J’AI MIS MON PARDESSUS MES BOTTES ET MON CHAPEAU
ET J’AI MARCHÉ DANS LES RUES SOUS LE GRIS CHAPITEAU 
J’AI ESPÉRÉ LE REVOIR MAIS COMME DANS UN RÊVE
C’EST TOI QUI M’EST APPARU MON VIEIL AMI DISPARU

DIRE QUE JE TE CROYAIS MORT ET RAYÉ DU PAYSAGE
COMME ON JETTE PAR DESSUS BORD SON EXCÉDENT DE BAGAGES
C’ÉTAIT BON DE TE REVOIR AILLEURS QU’EN RÊVE
DE POUVOIR RAFISTOLER LE TISSU DU PASSÉ

ET PUIS J’AI SUIVI MA DÉROUTE JUSQU’AU PÉRIPHÉRIQUE
ET DE LÀ J’AI PRIS LA ROUTE DESTINATION L’AFRIQUE
J’AI TOUJOURS VOULU REVOIR CE GRAND FLEUVE DE RÊVE
OÙ LE COUCHER DU SOLEIL CHANGENT LES EAUX EN MIEL

MAIS L’HEURE N’EST PLUS AUX VOYAGES AU PASSAGES DE FRONTIÈRES
Y’A CHANGEMENT DE PAYSAGE SUR TOUTE L’ÉTENDUE DE LA TERRE
ET PLUS MOYEN DE REVOIR SAUF EN RÊVE
LES PAYS QU’ON A AIMÉS LES AMIS QU’ON A SEMÉS  

ENFIN LA NUIT SUR PANAME RETOMBE EN DOUCEUR
EST-CE LA NUIT DE L’IGUANE OU CELLE DU CHASSEUR
ON SE CROISE SANS SE VOIR COMME EN RÊVE
PARFOIS UNE AILE NOUS FRÔLE UNE MAIN SUR L’ÉPAULE

ME REVOILÀ DANS LE NOIR ET BLANC DE MON LIT
PAS MAL ÉTONNÉ D’AVOIR RÊVÉ DE JOHNNY
PLUTÔT QUE DE TOI MON POTE MAIS LES RÊVES
N’EN FONT JAMAIS QU’À LEUR TÊTE LEUR MISSION EST SECRÈTE

ALORS AMIS DISPARUS Ô CHERS ABONNÉS ABSENTS 
QUI DU PASSÉ AU FUTUR SEREZ TOUJOURS PRÉSENT
JE VOUS DONNE RENDEZ-VOUS DANS MES RÊVES
VOUS LAISSANT LE CHOIX DU LIEU, DE L’HEURE ET DE LA NUIT

 TU ME VOIS TU ME REGARDES MAIS TU ME FLASHES PLUS
TOUT JUSTE SI TU PRÊTES GARDE À MON PARDESSUS
C’ÉTAIT COOL DE SE REVOIR M’A DIT JOHNNY EN RÊVE
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE VOIR DANS LA NUIT DE SAINT-TROPEZ

JOHNNY EN RÊVE (Lyrics)

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe Vinyl & CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

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.
