hibernating
the days grow dark
suffocating
so pull your boots on
walk out the door

frozen ridge line
and silver moon
distant tree line
the sleeping forest
is under snow

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

calculating
the solstice tide
enervating
procrastinating
walk out the door

frigid meadow
in moonlight glaze
dormant willow
is waiting naked
for your embrace

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

Michael and I will be introducing two new songs in roughly a month, and at that time the Fictive Sisters album "Immaculate Distraction" will be available on Bandcamp. We will let you know when and provide a link. Thanks always for your listening!

Father Winter (with Wheelwright)(Fictive Sisters)

Thank You for 1000 plays ❤️

In the late 1980s, I had the opportunity to watch in the cinema Godfrey Reggio's documentary "Koyaaniquatsi" with music by Philip Glass and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and I became a fan of the soundtrack from this film.

A few months ago I was watching the third season of "Stranger Things" and suddenly, in the third episode, in the last scene, I heard familiar sounds. Without checking, I could tell I could hear Phillip's music. And so it was. My fascination was revived and I felt the urge to create something similar to his style.
Unfortunately, my creativity and time has its limits and I haven't been able to make a full song... yet ;) But I'm sharing with you an idea, or rather an introduction to this piece. I hope you like it at least a little :)

Looking Through the Glass

method: layering
narration: the term CHTHULUCENE was coined by Donna J. Haraway, see https://mosayebi.arch.ethz.ch/en/thesaurus/chthulucene/ 
apart from that: listening to too much Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) lately has momentarily clouded my ability to avoid silly rhymes (as good as their music is). Sorry.

poem / copyright jo richter

adopting a circular angle at interrelations
we are created by our creations
‘though you can‘t put your finger on it right now
we‘ve always been earth, co-existing with the plough

averting your eyes, alien shadows will rise
while accountants still stammer out weird alibis
there is no reason to avoid one another
the same remains different, no need to bother

recording no time cannot withhold seizures
reality leaks in through multiple fissures
good manners are naughty, abstraction's obscene
arachnoids welcome the chthulucene

chtulucene

chthulucene

One hell of a trip for late Viking warriors.
Fast and furious.....

Slave to the device
I'm a slave to the device
Slave to the device, slave
I am a slave to the device 
And that is right

Friction, a false sense of addiction
Friction, a false sense of addiction
Friction, friction, more friction
Never ending friction
A false sense of addiction

I'm a a slave to the device
Slave to the device, I am
A slave to the device, a mere slave
That's right, I am a slave to the device

Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop
Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop

Slave, slave, I'm just a slave
To the device, that's right

A slave to the device, I am
A slave to the device, I am
A mere rotten slave to the device

Messing with my mind, with my mind
A slave to the device
Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop
A slave to the device
I am a slave to the device, that's right, that's right
A rotten slave to the device
I am a mere slave, to the device

SO...It has been almost a year since I have thought about playing any music,
and have barely even visited SoundCloud in the interim.

Indeed, it has been that long since entertaining any diversions at all,
as I have been engaged with serious health issues concerning my son.
After a lengthy hospital stay with an aggressive infection,
resulting in pneumonia and requiring surgery,
he is finally to the point to where he is strong enough to stand
and take a few brief steps.

So, I have only recently allowed myself enough space to contemplate music
...at least for a brief spell, or so long as it can last.


Here are simply a random collection of instruments
and the suggestions they evoked for me upon hearing them.

Evening Meditation

1. Pharoah Sanders - Thembi 
2. Donald Byrd - Wind Parade
3. Cal Tjader - Cal‘s Bluedo
4. Lance Ferguson - Voo Sobre O Horizonte 
5. Johnny Hammond - Star Bone
6. Deodato - Tahiti Hut (Ta Pa E)
7. Lonnie Liston Smith - A Lover‘s Dream 
8. Nuova Napoli - Disco Sole 
9. Bob James - Feel Like Making Love 
10. Azymuth - Despertar 
11. Bobbi Humphrey - Harlem River Drive 
12. Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band - Real Hot 
13. The Blackbyrds - Rock Creek Park 
14. Pharoah Sanders - Morning Prayer

soloing fun with another banging track by Paul aka Paploviante: https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/running-paploviante-open-collaboration-offer .... I added real tenor sax, synth - blown with Akai EWI USB and "guitar" played with keyboard (ok, that's crazy) ... so it's quite repetetive, but with different instrument colors ...

Feverish jazz-funk from Sun Creatures on new single 

‘Soi Cowboy’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
Sun Creatures is a new jazz-outfit lead by the two Danish musician/producers Arto Eriksen and Fridolin Nordsø, sprung from a shared love for 70s funk, West African rhythms, and Brazilian drum ensembles.
 
With their new single, ‘Soi Cowboy’, the duo crank up the fury. The sound is keyed up and light on its feet, racing through frenzied grooves with impressive dexterity. Dizzying percussion-dribbles, rogue basslines and distorted horn-riffs worked up into frantic screeches. Latin influences melt into the raw street-funk ooze and kept in check by an unmistakable technical skill.

Sun Creatures - Soi Cowboy - s0719

♥️ Thank You very much for over 1800 plays! ♥️

This track is a tribute to genre which flourish in 90's, a love letter to bands like US3, Jazzmatazz, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Groove Collective and of course Miles Davies and his marvellous "Doo-Bop".

I started working on this piece around July 2022. I've stuck on my inability to do any advanced jazz solos/improvisation and embellishments so this track ended up in my "musical drawer".
Luckily, after finishing my previous piece "Vital Signs", where I used sax VST, I shyly approached Jörg aka @joerxworx with a request to evaluate my saxophone scribbles and a proposal to finish my unrealized piece.
Jörg turned out to be a nice, understanding guy who willingly joined this project. At this point, I would like to thank him very much for this wonderful contribution to this piece, a lot of advice he gave me and a lot of patience for my slow work.

If You like this piece You should definitely check Jörg's page, he created lot of amazing tracks!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> @joerxworx <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

@r-u-r-pl R.U.R.: Composition, Programming, Mix and Mastering, VST Sax, VST Muted Trumpet, VST Drums, VST Piano, VST Bass and VST Misty Sky Hit from Kontakt's Lo-Fi Glow Library.
@joerxworx Jörg S.: Tenor Saxophone – embellishments and solo, lots of advices on mix and mastering

I've used 1 sample loop: Jazz Brushes 70bpm from Ableton Live's Core Library.

Thanks for reading this, listening to our track, and I hope You will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it!

The Two of Us // R.U.R. (feat. joerxworx)

main thing about this is the fun to blow one of the cool Respiro* presets ... *(a physical modelling synth) with my Akai EWI breathcontroller. This preset delivers a kind of hybrid breath instrument, with a range from sounding like a bari sax in the deepest up to a harmonica in the higher register. All instruments by me, a few "guitar" loops are self played on keyboard, breath solo is in go ! photo: Philip Myrtorp, unsplash

Jazz in My Salon - Parallelle

A highlight from Reginald Chapman 'Accretion' (FSX-057) – out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/accretion

'Accretion’ is a double-album exploration in carving out a refreshing new territory in modern Jazz – one that strikes a balance between hard funk grooves and complex music theory, complicated arrangements and heavily headnoddable beats – all tied together with universally engaging melodies and textured with a “refined grit” palette to forge a sound that is uniquely Chapman’s own.

The album serves as an exciting manifesto for a step forward into the future of traditional brass music, and it’s one that we’re honored to help bring to the world.

Written, Produced & Arranged by Reginald Chapman

Personnel:
Reginald Chapman - bass trombone, bass trumpet, rotary flugelhorn
Marcus "Tennishu" Tenney - saxophone, trumpet
Reggie Pace - trombone
Andrew Randazzo - bass
Corey Fonville - drums
DJ Harrison - keys

Mixed & Recorded by DJ Harrison @ Jellowstone – Richmond, VA

Mastered by Kelly Hibbert @ Almachrome

The Lamp Is Low - Laurindo Almeida

My old SC mate Micah played drums to test a friend’s recording set, and sent me some cuts full of improvised breaks and tempos. I love time changes, yet this was really challenging!

I finally chose two of them and jammed with bass until I learnt his story telling.
Then, I clicked on the red button, again and again.

If you use AI in any form to create "your music", don't bother with my profile, you are not welcome here.
AI music generation detector: https://www.submithub.com/ai-song-checker
I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.

---------------------------

Born in 1970. Music fan since 1985. Now heaving fun with making music. I'm self-taught, playing everything by ear. Started in 1990's but due to certain circumstances left in 1998 until April 2022. My music is created in Ableton Live 11 Intro (until december 2022) and 11 Standard with mostly free plug-ins. Fan of soundtracks (my personal heros are John Williams, Clint Mansell, Philip Glass, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and much more), world music (Dead Can Dance), chillout (Bent, Zero7, Groove Armada, St. Germain, Air, Röyksopp, Kosheen and more), trip-hop (Massive Attack, Portishead), acid jazz (Us 3), fusion (Pat Metheny Group, Dirty Loops), progressive rock (Porcupine Tree), classical (Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Debussy, Orff, Mussorgsky) electronica (Imogen Heap), IDM/House (Moderat, Apparat, Plaid) and electronic music (Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Isao Tomita, Marek Biliński, J.J. Jarre).

Still learning how to produce music.
