I am very pleased after a relatively long break to release this new piano piece.  Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy.

Return To New Beginnings

And finally....the third movement of Bach's dubbelconcerto.
Allegro. Made with Audiomodelling SWAM violins, CSS violins and Altiverb acoustic and TEC breath control.
It’s all about polyphony and articulation which takes a lot of time coming to this result. 
I hope you will enjoy it!

Bach Dubbel Vioolc. Allegro (arranger/performer Ad van nederpelt)

Piano variations on an orchestral theme drawn from Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade Opus 35. Your time is better spent listening to the extraordinary beauty of this work by Rimsky-Korsakov. Behold the fire...not the shadow cast

First Variation on Op. 35 Rimsky-Korsakov

Me and the guitar.
This song is about not getting lost in your past.  Things happen that we can't change so don't linger on them, keep doing the best you can.
Little things turn into big things if we let them, live your life and look after yourself.

Lamentation

In A Lifetime

Cast of characters:
Stoner Jazz--@user-911083679—Jeff—vocals, lyrics, and original stem
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–overdriven guitar, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric clean/effects guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass and synth           

This song originated with Jeff, who wrote a poem, which he set to a beat and a key with some very cool vocal processing. He sent it to Josh, who added the bass and the synth lines. Josh, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. Ken came up with a solid, distinct beat, based loosely on Josh's first take. Josh then redid his bass line to match up with Ken's drums, which is the way they seem to work best, sometimes going back and forth like that several times until they're locked in. Then, Tez and Stephen each added very distinct, supportive guitar tracks to fill it in. Tez comes through with the very Strat sounding bells ringing throughout. Stephen really shines with his textural tremolo playing throughout, as well as the rocking end. He also produced and mixed it expertly, as always. 
This is the first time the Eclectic Collective has collaborated with Jeff, although both Josh and especially Stephen (as part of the band, The Smoking Trout) have made music with him before. We really enjoyed making a song based on his vocals, and Jeff is a welcome addition to our sound anytime. We all really enjoyed making this one. We hope you enjoy listening to it.
Lyrics:

Naked Shoulders
l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should
Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a bit hoping for a little bite hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2
You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Sald
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Naked Shoulders - The Eclectic Collective and Stonerjazz

Where tradition meets the present moment, these ten instrumental journeys capture the warmth of the season in sound. A festive album that captures the timeless magic of Christmas and elegant enough for contemplation, warm enough for celebration, perfect for the beautiful chaos of the season.

Winter nights

It was a quiet Saturday morning and I was in the mood for playing a slow, but somehow cheerful piece to brighten the day of those around me.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!
