There is beauty in decay... 
Like the ancient crumbling monuments we so revere, inspiring vivid dreams of the past- and hopefully pushing us forward.

I would like to dedicate this track to these three awesome amigos: Justin (https://soundcloud.com/grevusanjl), Rob (https://soundcloud.com/spiralizer) and Robert (https://soundcloud.com/r-salchaks-mood-exhibit). Your amazing support, friendship, musical inspiration and influence throughout all these years is beyond words: Infinite Love to you, my dear brothers!!

Congratulations to Marco on reaching haiku 500! :)
Andrea Cecon's peaceful haiku led me to this improvisation (in D Dorian - yes, it's probably my favourite mode). Played on LABS (by Spitfire): Soft Piano VST. Recorded and mixed in Reaper, with added effects: Valhalla Shimmer and Valhalla FreqEcho. Mastered with CloudBounce.

Remix of a Wildsilences track that can be found here : https://soundcloud.com/indiiwildmoon/when-the-words-have-no-space-to-breathe

when the words have no space to breathe
the stories you tell sing and spark a fire
ashes of guesses floating by covering me in flakes of sky
maybe we can pretend together
an outline of shadows
souls on strings autumn dreams phosphorescent leaves
maybe we can spark a fire with the bones of broken things.
don't pretend i know what it's like
don't pretend to see when they're not looking
when the words have no space to breathe...

When The Words Have No Space To Breathe - Wildsilences * Progeny -1 Mix*

Deviating Waltz

This tune was named by my granddaughter Dejah who sang the "Baby Fox' song when she was 4. Now 9 and has a real talent for art! The photo was not her, just an image off the net:)
Guitar is a 2004 Washburn R304 parlor guitar
and my 1928 Gibson A2 mandolin.

Beautiful Violet Waltz

A much needed embrace

longing for her embrace

New piano and orchestra work for #PianoDay2020…Different from my norm, this work is fantastical, whimsical, and uses granular synthesis as well as tuned percussion, harp, and guitar. String flautando and harmonics create the sotte voce effect. Dedicated to my friend Lisa who has terminal cancer. Just learned Lisa passed away on 4/1. May she be in eternal peace...

The Marian Circle Drum Brigade is a musical project started by Michael Bostwick of Pipe Choir, PC-ONE and P C III in 2010.

According to Bostwick, The Marian Circle Drum Brigade was inspired by his love of marching band drumlines ever since he was a child. When he was in high school he tried to join the marching band but due to his inability to read sheet music was denied the opportunity.
Inspired by this memory, Bostwick conjured up The Marian Circle Drum Brigade, a virtual marching band in the summer of 2010

The Marian Circle Drum Brigade is a project that features primarily a loud high energy drumline (performed entirely by Bostwick) and is accompanied by an aggressive industrial alternative vocal approach reminiscent of Ministry’s Al Jourgensen.  The Marian Circle Drum Brigade described by Bostwick as a combination of the Top Secret drum core and industrial alliterative metal band Ministry.

The Marian Circle Drum Brigade has released one self titled six song album available on Soundcloud and Free Music Archive.  The Marian Circle Drum Brigade's music is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.
