This is my submission to 'The Piano Cloud's -  'Ebony and Ivory' Challenge (initiated and hosted by Simon Reich), the first part of which involves creating a piece using only the white keys. The next part will involve only playing those black keys, yikes!   …. after a time of 'music block', I've had great joy in just playing again, and ended up with about 10 improvisations, thanks to the encouragement of some dear friends once again, thank you! (am hoping to put a more detailed description up shortly, about this piece and what it means)

If you'd like to listen and give some feedback, its always much appreciated :-) xx

As The Garden Grows - Megs McCarthy (White Keys Challenge)

Radioactive

After a longer break a new original song for my main project "heartscore". I looked, when I had released the last one and it was six month ago! Time is rushing … While the last original songs like "Mary, Maggy, Molly and May" and "Sylvester's gonna die" were based on older ideas this new track developed very fast during a creative phase after my last vacation. The poem was written by the famous poet Emily Dickinson. Hope is personified as a bird. While this sounds cute at first Dickinson is finding also some dark words like "abash", "storm", "chillest land" and "strangest sea", which let the reality break through sometimes.

Chris: Lead vocals
Dirk: Background vocals, guitar
Lyrics: Emily Dickinson

Musical notes: The verse-section is pure pentatonic and was influenced by asian music a bit. In the middle-section I play around with a motif going through all instruments and getting shorter and shorter until it ends as a single tone. I thought on fading hope while writing this part. This leads into a gospel/soul-part and then going back to the verse section. That's it.

Recording notes: I recorded the guitars with my Ibanez FRM-100, a single-coil guitar. I looked for a clear heavy-sound and ended up with the bridge/middle position, maybe unusual. Because the guitars are quite high during the verse I wanted a strong counterpart and added distortion on the bass-guitar. The Modulation in the middle part is a flanger applied to the main bus. As usual for the "heartscore"-songs Chris from studiopros.com took over the lead-vocals.

Hope is a thing with feathers (by Emily Dickinson)

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

I'm especially in love with this set, an extra- trippy one : make yourself comfortable, enjoy the beautiful little piece of my friend George - https://soundcloud.com/giorgos-tagtelenidis - introducing the journey, and then, let yourself go!!! At some point, Earth Connector - https://soundcloud.com/earth-connector - shares with us his gorgeous interpretation of India : a special thank to him for letting me use this new tune! And, at the end of the trip, just before the amazing Ahmed Gado closing it, meet, for those who could ignore this French personage.. Amélie Poulain!! I love this movie, I love this girl!! &lt;3 

Shalom! Peace! Peace on you, on me, on the world!

RFSC Bro - Hey Jude (Original Mix)

"Before The Battle" is a superb Prog Metal Rocking piece of music Stefan posted a few months ago on his cloud. It was very much one of those pieces that instantly appealed to me to do something with. Now this week at last I have finally been able to get around to working on it and this is the end result, to which I am well pleased with.

For best results I suggest you play LOUD and follow the lyrics as the chorus sections do contain me speaking in a dark evil voice which may be hard to catch all the lyrics without reading them as you go along. 

I would like to thank my good friend Stefan for giving me the opportunity to work on his truly Fantastic music, and this one purely ROCKS and I hope you enjoy....

The song as been made available as a free digital download @ Bandcamp and can be had from the link here: https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/before-the-battle

Before The Battle (Music by S. Kruger/Words by L.C. Lucas)

Lee Lucas - Vocals - Artwork
Rock Flexible - Guitars - Bass - Drum Programming.

The lyrics are as follows:

The hours upon us
we must prepare for the battle ahead
they'll know were coming 
so best make hast and be prepared
with Faith among us
we must be strong and stand up tall
show no fear for the enemy 
take courage and we'll win the war

With our life's in our hands
we will make a stand
and fight to the death
and shed blood and fear across their land

Before the battle
we must be prepared for war
Before the battle
we must sharpen all our swords
Before the battle
Before the Battle 

In the battle we will show our rage
let them feel the wrath of our swords
we must not be afraid
not when it comes to war

Don't ask for mercy none will be give
fight for your life it's yours to live
have the courage and the might
to take yourself
through this fight
and you will win my friend...

We must make a stand
with our life's in our hands
we must be prepared
for the battle ahead
we must stand up tall
and take them all
fight to the death
and shed blood and fear across their land
their land

Please find time to leave comments to which are always very well appreciated and many thanks for listening.

Lyrics: 

my consciousness is not in me
i am in my consciousness
i am not in my body
my body is in me

this body's all i got
your body's all i want
this body is my temple
why don't you come pray with me

My temple is where I play
Your temple is where i wish to pray
Our temple is where we meet in heaven
Why don't you come pray with me

she looked at me, then
i looked at her

and then she said there ain't 
nothing wrong
with this
physical plane, but lets just sit and meditate 

We were once lovers, I knew you from a past time
and you knew me
I once was a luminous sphere of plasma
And you were my gravity
I remember when we were two sets of interlaced threads
In a beautifully woven tapestry
I loved it when you rubbed against me
Friction
There were times when we exploded like when we of singularity
wasn't that something
How we did grow, exponentially
Especially me haha
All things come from you
And all things emerge internally
Blessing to our dreams may they always be a source of our prosperity
I once dreamed we were two facing mirrors under an ancient tree
On another planet in another galaxy
In the past of a future time in an alternate reality
But the point is, I was in you and you were in me
How we used to make love
Energetically
those were sacred moments when the spirit filled us with clarity
Yo I got mad abundance
Won't you come pray with me

---
Please enjoy my improvisational tribute for one of the maestros - for Bach. I appreciate subscriptions to my YouTube channel ;-)

I'd also like to announce the upcoming release (18th of December!) of my 4th original piano album "Spirit of Journey". The album will be available as a digital album on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc. 

The album is available on BandCamp already, both as a digital album and on CD! I will gladly sign the first ordered copies :) https://milana.bandcamp.com/album/spirit-of-journey

Whenever I start improvising, I am taken on a journey. Melodies and harmonies constantly move and while they do, they let me create scenes from places I've never been to. Yet, the music has the spirit that unites and translates all of that to the listener. 

I invite you to share the spirit of this journey with me. This piano album is about a constant movement, dynamic rhythms and rich harmonies on the edge of jazz and rock. Cinematic soundtracks will take you to mysterious gardens, detective stories, a maze of surreal dreams and a moonlight stroll. 

With huge thanks to my husband and family. They are my own spirit, my journey, my music. 

Yours, 
M.

Marginalia

I love impressionists (that's why Claude Monet is on the cover) and wanted to explore the same Impressionism in music. There is no single apring, all shorter strokes and drops. Rather hues and hints. The Shadows if you will :) 

Other challenge, I indulged myself was to make this SYNTH-phony, using only MOOG sounds. It was so tempting to play guitar or strings or flute. I wanted to stay focus played my favorite Arturia MiniMoog, Moog Modular, and AniMoog. Otherwise one piano, percussion made in Korg Gadget, produced in Ableton Live 9 with IK Multimedia mastering tools.

 I extracted this quote from Robert Moog, greatly respected engineer and artist of sound, from his interview available on YouTube:

"It is something between discovering and witnessing" - Robert Moog

Some parts, like the wobbly/slides/something sounds you can distinctly hear in the into, I played by hand and ear on AniMoog. This is the iPad app invented by Moog Foundation. You slide over iPad surface to design and create unique vibes and sound colors. I know, if there is someone thinking to "throw a tomato" at the iPad musicians, please prepare one for maestro Jean-Michael Jarre, he-he :D  I'm not placing myself anywhere close, of course, but was so excited, after played this AniMoog part here, to see the one JMJ video, where he is playing the same app for his number one album of the year! In one of Electronica 1 video you can see the iPad on the right, green-ish look of AniMoog. 

The cover art is a fragment of Claude Monet "Water Lilies", 1920s. I took the photo earlier this year, in Museum of Modern Art, New York. I noticed and specifically took a shot of "THE EYES" I saw (see them in right lower corner?). Nice, can spend hours when get a chance. Thank you ALL for the support!

Musically Yours.
