Great to listen again to this marvelous work Rob - thanks!

A quintessential must have treasure for those who value the distinct & exquisite intricacies of divinely mastered composition! Your ingenuity, Robert, to conceive of such a profound cinematic directive is most igniting!  I love what you do! You know this reminds me of a portion of the music in the film "A Woman's Vengeance" (1948)!! Standing ovation! I hope all is well for you & you enjoy a wonderful week of endeavors! 🥇🎥🔁🙌🏻😍🤗🏵

Not my thing but instrumentalist are high test.  🤟😑

Back for a fourth listen; Fine music Robert!

...Nevertheless, I'll go on flying.

Thank you.

As we grew older and older, we began to lose the innocence we had as children. In this composition I wanted to remember those years, at the beginning of our lives.

Innocence

www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com: "Like all of Brooks’s works, 'Airs & Recitations' is a virtuosic construction of densely complex rhythms and rigorous, dissonant pitch combinations. The marvel of it is: there’s tenderness and expressive lyricism packed into his highly organized musical language."

“Airs and Recitations” was completed in December, 2022 in Fairview, TX. The work is in three movements: Andante con moto, Largo espressivo, and Andante con brio.  Performance time is about 18 minutes. Printed and electronic copies of the score and instrumental parts are available for purchase from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com.

Living In The Future

This is a song that Chris wrote and shared with Ken and me. We all used BandLab to work on the song together. it started with Chris' badass bass line and arrangement. Ken added some killer drums, in a very odd time. then I add some guitar over the top. I really like how this sounds like we're in room jamming together. Also, Chris produced and mixed this one, and another excellent job he did! We all hope you enjoy it!

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

Original lyrics:

A lake, an ocean, to be crossed
The light shining through the surface, sometimes lost
Around the bottom of the sea we almost cried
I was never colder than that artic night

Going straight ahead is all that I can do
Up and down, all around; life's whirlpool
Lay my tail upon a rock
And dream

The schools of fish seemed lost in all the noise
A passing whale who lost his voice
A nice warm pool of a fleeting duel
A cloudy red trial, a happy ruse

The light shining through the surface is sometimes bright
The deeper you are, the harder it is, to tell day or night
Travel far and wide

The Lost Merman 🧜‍♂️

Slave To The Device - Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] 

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

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.
