lovely ........full of emotion and passion

Pskc

"Faded Memories" is a piano track that tells the story of a person who, over time, retains only the positive memories of a carefree youth. The piece opens with a sweet and nostalgic melody played in a high register, evoking faded images of happy, distant moments. The light and airy tones recall days of youth, full of laughter and freedom.
The middle section introduces soft arpeggios and warm harmonies, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and reflection. Here, the music explores the deeper and more affectionate details of the memories, capturing the essence of past experiences and the emotional connections that shaped the protagonist's life. The notes follow one another like fragments of memories, each with a special meaning and unique emotional nuance.
Towards the end, the piece reprises the initial theme but with greater depth and harmonic richness, symbolizing how memories, even if faded, retain an intact beauty and purity. The track concludes with a delicate and soothing coda, leaving a feeling of peace and gratitude for the past.

Those recited by David are verses from one of the most famous poems and one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century (Eugenio Montale). They are taken from the collection entitled ‘Ossi di seppia’ ('The bones of cuttlefish'), published in Italy in 1925, and several times translated into English (alone or together with other works by Montale).
Many thanks to David (@david-dunhamuser589535203), who agreed to collaborate on this little creation, also adding his refined guitar phrasing. All the (usual) imperfections are mine.

Lyrics (ENGLISH / ORIGINAL ITALIAN)

Perhaps one morning going alone in the air of glass,
arid, lookin back, I shall see, with the terror
of a drunken man, the making of a miracle:
nothingness at my shoulders, the void behind me.

Then as on a screen, suddenly, trees house hills
will assemble themselves for the usual deception.
But it will be too late; and I shall go on, quiet,
with my secret, among the men who do not turn

---

Forse un mattino andando in un’aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s’uno schermo, s’accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l’inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me ne andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.

Perhaps One Morning ... [Michele Ansani - David Dunham] **

a week ago I discovered a track by @mark_f_2019 - https://soundcloud.com/mark_f_2019/jesse-demo ... and asked wether I might remix it, respectively, add saxophone. I'm glad he agreed, and somehow I could play, what I had in mind :-)

Jesse (demo) by Mark F // Sax Remix

There was blood on the doorframes 
of the homes that were spared
as the weeping of Egyptian mothers 
was heard through the night. 
Innocents died. 
Mysterious are the ways of the righteous fights.

So strange that innocent blood is the price of freedom.
We were told to eat and drink to remember.
And, as I seat at the sacred table, 
I refrain from looking around, searching for the traitor.
It could be me…

Mysterious Are The Ways (based ond Debra Bueskings' "The Sound of Memory" solo piano version)

Here's one with our great friend Santi Caballero Mendez, who played the beautiful flute here on Summer Showers and so much more.  Cheers Sam

Here's a playlist of the more than 55 tunes we recorded together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-santi-caballero?si=1aa4beed04554be18fbaf3635fadb00a&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel  --MD—effected vocals

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, trippy synth

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and seed idea 

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began about half a year ago, as part of a three song set that Ken started with some really cool beats. Josh was first to the trough for here, laying in his fretless bass groove to complete the foundation and give it some tonal direction. 

Stephen came next and laid in the really trippy textural guitar that you hear throughout. JJ was next with his serious, no joke organ playing, which sets the mood for the whole thing. 

Last, but not least, Tez joined by adding some really cool accent guitar throughout.

  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so we tapped Stephen to do the honors on this.

  We had originally made this and the other two song with the intention of having The Mysterios Decibel and his friend Modes About Me sing on them. However, life got in the way, so we sat on them. Finally, MD let us know that he wasn't able to complete the project with us, much to everyone's, including his, disappointment. However, MD did lay down a rough vocal demo for us, which Stephen very ably processed to sound almost like another instrument in there. So, we're releasing this song as a tribute to them both, with gratitude, especially to MD for all the great work he's put in with us. If you're not familiar with either of them, do yourself a favor and check them out. Modes about me is at  @modesaboutme and the link to The Mysterious Decibel can be found in the link in the cast of characters above. 

  This is an example of what it sounds like when the whole band composes a song together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
