This work was supported by many people in the winter of 2019. The listeners were mainly in various area of the United States. I am very grateful for that. I decided * WINTER 2019/2020 * for this work. I wish you a good Christmas and a good year.

This classic Beatles song is designed to raise the key by a semitone at the stage of the guitar interlude. Some people do not realize that it has been changed the key because it is so natural. I think it's a really attractive and mysterious melody. I developed it and experimented with this recording to see what would happen if I continued to raise the performance of the song by a semitone for each theme. For those who are practicing the guitar, I think it can be used as a basic lesson to aim at playing in any key, whether it is chord stroke practice or melody line practice. 
However,  I know that some people who are practicing guitar can only play the same melody line with different pitches, because the chords are different. If the songs are different, other instruments will perform quite differently. Therefore, even if your performance while practicing guitar is always doing almost the same thing, it is often the case that the listener hears it playing a different performance. What is unfortunate is the fact that you can't grow at all during that time. The problem is that you stay there for years. If you later realize that you were wasting a terrible time, you can't get it back.It's a serious wall for beginners to overcome. Even if you are a skilled top professional guitar player, if you don't pay attention to your condition, it is said that you will be playing only the usual phrases. It is the same that we should always be aware of.If you can't get out of the symptom that the melody you play is almost the same, even if you use different titles for each recording, you first need to realize that you are always playing almost the same phrase.
Such people terribly often don't know or ignore the difference between the Western scale and the Blue note scale. For example, if you add an E-flat sound to the C major scale or A minor scale, and you think it is a blue note scale, it won't cause a catastrophic failure if you are a keyboard player. However, if you are a guitar player, it will be fatal.They are even suspicious of whether they have found a usable scale from the chord progression and are starting to play.Often they do not seem to be fulfilling the important mission of matching rhythm and melody.What's more, it's impossible for a sensitive listener to allow someone to pretend to be a blues player while making a sound unrelated to the blue note scale.To make matters worse, such people do not even master the Western scale enough,many good listeners will gradually move away from the artists who release or spread the works that cannot be called works. We will need to be very careful about that.You may struggle and find someone to pass on responsibility. But that attempt will fail. We all pay laziness and self-satisfaction by ourselves.
Alternatively, some beginners can imitate the performance of a great guitar player, but cannot freely improvise. In general, it is until the early teens that a boy or a girl who is crazy about guitar playing is expected to see the future from the audience by imitating the performance of a genius guitar player.As is well known, copying and covering are completely different acts.That is also a serious wall. In order to overcome this, there is no choice but to accumulate a lot of issues from basics to applications over a long period of time. I would like the recordings shown here to be used as the first step before getting into there in earnest.

And I Love Her ～slide To End（Instrumental cover,The Beatles）--- * WINTER 2019/2020 *

Pulling myself out of a bit of musical doldrums (we’ve all been there!), I resurrected a song that sat for a long time in concept only.  I intended it to be a driven song with a Billy Cobham/Jan Hammer influence.  Something that was on my “musical shelf” and collecting a lot of dust, a victim of the doldrums, that finally sparked and I took it from a scratch idea into what is presented here.

Plains of No Despair

Lyrics:

Let it rain, overwhelm, sweep away, the old order 
It is time, for glaciers, to descend, break down borders

We set it off, this cascade, these dark boulders 
And as the shards of yesterday, tumble down, we are older 

Everything I wanted to be is consumed by plunging debris
Every sound that I'd ever heard is replaced by a single word
Deep, deep

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche is you

After the noise of the surge comes the silence
Amplified, worlds collide, we cry out, in defiance

Everything I wanted to be is consumed by plunging debris
Every sound that I'd ever heard is replaced by a single word
Every face that I'd ever known, buried by unstoppable flows
Every future, every past, covered by a moment so vast
Deep, deep

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche with you 

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche of you

Humankind has imposed its presence upon The Great Precession.
I had this concept in mind as I began working on this project.
While it seems as though its cause has been fairly well understood,
I was amazed that there is still a good deal of conjecture surrounding it.

See the YouTube:  "The Great Year"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ZDcj0kF_0

In creating this soundtrack,
I used only the instruments in Logic Pro X's ALCHEMY
and its native presets.
No additional effects, other than automation and EQ were used.

ADDENDUM: Since the time I first encountered Camille Saint-Saens' Symphony No. 3 In C Minor, Op. 78, "Organ"
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDaZfSHDpa0
in a symphonic composition,
I had wondered at the paucity of the use of the organ in larger arrangement.
Of course, with something of that size, you can't just go on a road show.

Lyrics:
Midnight, darkness all around me I can hear you calling
Whitecaps crashing on the Breakers in the pale moonlight
Alone with you I am calm; I am safe
Watching the eternal waves I'm at peace; centered
While the World spins around me in a rush........
When I'm hidden in the shadows you will always find me
Cleanse my mind; wash me with the rising tide
Alone with you I am calm; I am safe

Alone With You

DONT YOU SAY GOODBYE (Feat. Patersongs)

My song is set in the US Civil War. As in the excellent novel "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier, desertion seems the only rational course of action.  There are two desertions in this song.

By request, I've posted the words here:

I well recall your face upon the shore,
Trimmed in white lace, as I went off to war.
Don't you wait for me.  I'm not the man you thought -
Gone beyond the pale - sold ev'rything you bought.

Don't sit and dream that I'll come back for you.
I thank you for your kindness.  That's all that I can do.
I stand in line for Destiny.  I think it's comin' soon,
When the captain tells the bugler to play a rousin' tune.

There's bankers and ranchers who think it mighty fine
That we stay in the army, fighting in the line.
We are bound for glory, a wound or eternal rest.
Why don't we steal the horses and maybe head out west?

There's drinkers and gamblers on both sides here, y'see.
If we met in a saloon, not this shooting gallery,
We'd raise the roof with singing, get the piano man to play
The song that killed the captain and the bugler boy today.

Here's one last toast to the ladies on the shore,
Dabbin' eyes with lace, as we went off to war.
Here's a toast to our late captain and the bugler boy we mourn.
I'm off to fetch those horses. Tomorrow we'll be gone.

Every day, Mom told me don't be like everyone And if all of a sudden everyone starts to jump You should not follow them I do not want to go to hell 
I don't need spells Keep calm and relax, mom This is not for me, ma'am Dont worry, ma'am 
I'd rather be online Then go out to sunlight And at night I'll look at the moonlight

[LYRICS]
When it comes dawn, everything's gone,					
I know that it won't last too long					
Paint a sad song on sunlit sky					
Try to hold the tears in my eyes					
Flowery bells of the morning					
Chills in the air, leaves are falling					
Dreams we weaved on rustling leaves					
Are really too much to give					
 					
Happy times, so hard to keep					
Those eyes of mine have learned to weep					
The rustling leaves whirl in the wind					
I'm hurt so deep					
In your lifetime do what you may					
No morning sun last a whole day					
The dreams we weaved on rustling leaves					
Are really too much to give					
 					
(Bridge)					
Feelings of intense uneasiness pervaded me					
Dreams of the past are like the stormy seas					
All those songs we write and sing					
Keep circling round my mind					
Sift the sand of my memory					
 					
** repeat bridge ***					
					
Those lonely nights are just too long					
Weak morning light, I write this song					
Game is lost, pay the cost,					
I'm striving to go on					
Take a boat and sail away					
Shake off the load, call it a day					
Dreams we weaved on rustling leaves					
Slowly fade away……….

Rustling Leaves         (feat.  iHussain)

Lyrics:
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Haussmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort?
Tu te prends pour qui?
Toi aussi tu détestes la vie
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise
Un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:
