The Eagle - Instrumental

Composed in StaffPad on iPad.

A powerful sorceress named Scarlett has been living alone for years in Magick Bayou, isolated from the rest of the world.  She knew it would be only a matter of time before the Army of Dark Witches took over her land, so she gathers the courage to travel by broom with her feline companion to Forgotten City, a Safe Haven where all good magick users can live without persecution.  Little did she know how important she would become in the near future.  She would  eventually become the High Sorceress of Forgotten City and Gatekeeper of Safe Haven.

Voici une pièce que j'ai faite il y a un certain moment avec Gary Courtland-Miles (Anomon).  Il m'a demandé si je pouvais ajouter des orchestrations sur une de ses magnifiques pièces de piano.  Sur le thème de l'Amour et l'importance de sa place dans nos vies.

Here's a piece I did some time ago with Gary Courtland-Miles (Anomon).  He asked me if I could add orchestrations on one of his beautiful and heartfelt piano pieces.  This is all about Love and the importance of it in our lives.

It's Something Like This - with Anomon

“Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.”
~ Oscar Wilde

A very special thank you to my 3-year-old grandaughter, Charlie on the vocal bits. 
She's quite awesome :}

Exploring New Lands

 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Falling Slowly

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar playing on the work "Lover's Prayer" by Lisha Nandi.
https://soundcloud.com/lisha-nandi-124733328/lovers-prayer
--------------------------------------------------------
When I first listened to Lisha's this work, I was completely fascinated by it. I think the vocals, lyrics, composition, and performance are all excellent, and the balance between them is wonderful.When I suddenly returned to myself, I was holding my Les Paul, and have started recording with it.

The original work released by Lisha can be thought of as a completed "acoustic version".If I think the purpose of adding and releasing my guitar playing to it is to promote and disseminate the existence of that wonderful "acoustic version".

＊If you are practicing playing the guitar, please use it to master the performance of "C # m Pentatonic Scale".I think there are several ways to practice playing the guitar with this song, this time I mainly played and recorded it using the "C # m pentatonic scale".

If the foundation is neglected, there will be no future development. Those who neglect their proficiency in the pentatonic scale and act as if they have mastered not only the pentatonic scale but also the blues scale will most hope that listeners will misunderstand that their guitar playing is good. .. It's a very dangerous adventure.

I eagerly want anyone to get out of that dangerous situation as soon as possible.Any guitar player who hasn't mastered it can't get out of the "beginner". I think.

If you know that it is used in the following representative songs, everyone who has not used it before will surely say "Oh, is that a pentatonic scale?"

The Beatles --Let It Be
This song has different solo performances on the single version and the album version, but it is a guitar solo called "A minor(C major) pentatonic scale textbook" from the time it was released.

Led Zeppelin --Stairway to Heaven
Even in this song, a guitar solo will appear at the end of the song. This is a solo performance using the "A minor Pentatonic Scale", which is a little more difficult than the above.

Eagles --Hotel California
A very famous guitar solo will be developed at the end of this song as well. Since it is a twin lead, it is a more difficult solo performance. The "B minor pentatonic scale" is used.

The guitar playing that I layered on the original sound source is very simple. Some may say it's too simple.However, it doesn't make any sense to crush the sound of vocals and other instruments to make only the sound of the guitar.

There is no guitar solo in this attempt, and I didn't play the chords and tried to accompaniment phrases. This is because it is meaningless unless the listener can easily listen to vocals and other performances. Therefore, I think it is easier to practice the scale using the guitar.

PS
There are quite a few artists I would like to collaborate with someday. Lisha has long been one of the representatives, and I have long waited for the opportunity to come. Recently, I have actually had the opportunity to dramatically improve the collaborative environment. Even with an already completed sound source, it is impossible to completely separate it for each instrument, but now it is possible to separate files into several major parts. 

In this work, even if the volume is set a little louder to maintain the sound quality of the guitar, the vocals are cut out from other parts, so the volume and sound quality of the vocals could be sufficiently maintained. That is one of the major backgrounds that made it possible to release this recording
(I've uploaded a version here that matches the genuine Apple earphones for the iPhone, so  it's a good idea to set up an equalizer for your listening environment).

Lisha approved my this attempt to be published here. I thank her sincerely for her generosity.

Fast Motion Journey

I've been trying not to work on music, but almost all of this song came to me while I was lying in bed playing with my 3DS this week so I figured I'd upload it for now.

On June 28 2011 I lost one of my long time life friends. Bleu Ocean was one of the real rock and roll heroes of his generation. Little known in the commercial world, but loved and a real icon to so many of us. He was the original drummer for the backup band in the Monkees and even more important was the founder of the Ocean Star Band (which I was a member of) of which this song was the theme song that we wrote together. Here it is in a piano arrangement for all of you to enjoy. Please pass on his name. He died while jamming at a gig on his drum set. Rocked until the last minute of his life, as I always knew he would. I'm gonna really miss him.

This song makes me think of a ghost, wandering in a rainy forest

Ghost in the Forest

I found this on my hard drive. It dates from four or five years ago. At the time, I thought it wasn’t enough of this or enough of that to post, while thinking it was also too much of the same thing. But now I like it, especially from the guitar player’s point of view. The sounds and interlocking parts please me. Maybe you will like them too.

I remember that I made this in vague tribute to one of my favorite players and musical mentors-at-a-distance.  He shall remain only partially named.  

For some reason, the “head,” such as it is, comes at the end. Go figure…

I compose this song in the memory of James Gandolfini.

Moments Of Loneliness

When consciousness awakens, perceptions of life grow ...
In this piece I used piano, violins, cello, oboe, flute, horns and some cymbals.
Thank you for listening :)

Do colors have their own special sound? What if colors sounded like piano? Red of the warm and cozy fireplace? Yellow - playful and sunny? The relaxing serenity of Green? The deep and moody Indigo... I invite you to the world of colorful piano! Today is the time for ORANGE!
