Renaissance Melody

Woah-Check it out right?
So stoked to being working with The Weighty Tree https://soundcloud.com/theweightytree
once again on our noir psyche thing- we must be related somehow because we are locking up on this shit, yo!

Much love to all who leave comments and even those who don't! repost for love of the song people and pump this up so I can get mark on some more tunes. Feel me on this one-from the heart people. 

this song is kinda crazy idea I had about "a video" kinda thing, I though something with a classic move like "dark Passage" filmed in my home town San Francisco-about a criminal that gets plastic surgery to hide his identity. Most of the movie is just Bogarts voice and the camera is shot from his POV- so its crazy film Noir from 1947- Netflix, Yo!

So for heavy mellow I have been writing tunes with the  intent to collab, so IM thinking get a vibe, keep the feel open so anyone can see they have a place there-

Still vocal version to come but we wanted to post this because we think it stands on its own, so Love from the south coast of the UK and the west coast of the US- 
Cheers!

BELLY OF THE BEAST-feat Clouders for... collab. see description

I've no idea what the title means. I think it came from a joke where I was making things up awhile back. But the words just sound like a title to me. You can pretend it's a deep and meaningful statement though of course, if you wish. Thank you for listening!

Unabashed Conjecture

Summerland (Jazz Bossa Nova)

This is a song I started a few days ago.  I had the melody about a week ago.  I have been adjusting it for a few days.  Trying to get all of the sounds I like.  I did a little section in whole tone scale in the middle for my friend Dirk.

The Journey (ahsan-ul-hadi-adil: guitar & Michel Martineau: Clarinet)

Alan’s description for this song:
The real fear and uncertain outcome Was the fear of the family, knowing that she had cancer And only a miracle could unite the love within. The struggle continued ,and expected arrangements would have to be made the reality of life was hurting and painful. Then the moment came when a meeting was held to announce the news that she was free, she was free. The miracle had blessed the family and in the face of Having to say goodbye for the last time, she was here to stay.

After I heard Alan’s composition I was in love with his piece, and after he shared the meaning behind this song, I asked him if I was allowed to re-arrange and re-produce his beauty.
I told him about my own experience with my daughter, she conquered and fully cured from Leukaemia, so I know this triumphal feeling from deep inside, but also the struggle she had to endure, and how powerless I felt as a parent not being able to do more for her.

I tried to put in my own experience onto this piece of music in sections as you will.
The flute in this song is the child, the piano the parents, the drums the fight, the strings the cure (the love from the parents, family and friends standing side by side for this child), the French Horn Sections the medicines and news brought by the specialists. 

The 1st  part, is the news that we got from the specialist how sick she was, the drowning sound within is the cancer (which at the end of the song will be conquered completely fade out), the weak piano are the powerless parents not knowing what to do or to expect yet (it’s like their world crumbles)

The 2nd  part “The flute” is the cry for help of your child, the choirs are the angels standing beside her with the soft strings are trying to comfort the child.

The 3rd  part “The Piano” are the parents grabbing all their power to be there for their child, and the flutes already start to feel the strength to fight, with the strings building up the power for the cure to set in.

The 4th  part the intermezzo, does the treatment work, and what news will the doctors bring?, the drums are fighting hard and the strings trying to ease the pain

The 5th  part, the child feels the strength coming back, and she becomes stronger each day, and because of that hope grows stronger each day also for the parents (piano comes in too)

The 6th  part (at 3:00) the crescendo, she won the battle, she conquered the cancer, the big triumph is felt everywhere, and pain and suffer makes place rejoice and happiness.

The 7th final part the cancer is defeated, and has to make place for peace and happiness for all.

This is just my experience, and how I felt while I was working on this beauty, and I am so happy that Alan and his family loved my version of Alan’s song immediately, and he asked me to share it with everybody in the world asap, as he said: this song is finished now.
So thanks Alan, for trusting me working on your beautiful composition, and I am honoured that you sincerely feel that this is what your song should sound like.

Both Alan and me are hoping that everybody in the world will feel the comfort within this song, that’s the reason why we want to share this triumph of this “Brave Angel” with you all.

This is a track composed I asked AndAWan to do the mix and add some melodies. First we thought we could work within our DAW Cubase but that took a bad turn when we discovered that our versions wasn't direct compatible.....So this is what came out after some technical struggle....
Thank you AndAWan for your patience and support all the way!
This is the music played while the beautiful Circus Horse performs for the children at a Circus somewhere far far away in a land time is standing still....at least while the horse is showing the tricks....
All kind of comments and feedback are as usual welcome and appreciated!
Enjoy the Circus Horse.....
Take care!
