Emisarios   

La noche me encima queriendo desanimar.
la lluvia decide trayendo un tesoro
Es agua del cielo, me dijo prestá atención.
Sos hijo del suelo, sos savia, sos bendición.
hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos.
y a su corazon recibo igual.


El tiempo me envuelve, sumando me arrastra,
Mi alma y el cielo, son fuego que basta.
Son flama que grita, son guerra sin rendición,
son  furia del trueno, caida y resurrección.
Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos locos
y a su corazon recibo igual. 

Letra y Música: Pichy Sotomayor

Never Too Late

Produccion,bateria y teclados San Kajati(desde Valencia)todo lo demas yo.
Los peores sueños
                 Am-Em-Dm-Am

No voy a ir 
Dónde no puedo 
Por ahí pueden venir 
Los peores sueños 
Pensaba en vos 
Mirando de nuevo 
El juego, el color 
El otro veneno 
Las luces veo al fin 
Alumbran el piso 
Cuando vienen a mí 
Se vuelven pasillos 
Perdido en un laberinto 
Cerca del río 
Me pongo a caminar 
La salida persigo...

LOS PEORES SUEÑOS-Christian

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Archy has finally reached the elusive land of his dreams. But is it really all what it seems? Is there something evil in the air? Is there dark clouds at the horizon? Archibald Whim may step ashore, but what awaits him in this ever changing America?
This track was recorded in corporation with the ever so talented BribedAnt, that supported with bass and solo guitar along with a critical input in the mix and master process. Do look up BribedAnt on Soundcloud - it's a blast.

Il Gigante di Monterosso – Feat: Sergei Govorov
June 2025
Duration: 3:20
Music Composition - Bruce Klepper
Effects and Mixing - John-Marc Ventimiglia 
Cover Art Photography- Heidi Schnicker 
Soprano Sax- Sergei Govorov 

On our recent trip to Italy, one of the places we stayed was Monterosso, one of the 5 villages in Cinque Terre. From our patio, we were able to see Il Gigante looking out over the ocean. I am pleased to announce this new music collaboration, Il Gigante di Monterosso - Feat: Sergei Govorov, celebrating the beauty of Italy.  Listen to Sergei's music on Spotify and Apple Music.
Sergei Govorov completed his doctoral degree at the Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow with the highest honors.  In 2022, Sergei moved to the United States.  Sergei's repertoire ranges from classical saxophone to avant-garde, jazz, and pop. He has performed over 4,000 concerts worldwide.  For the last year I have been writing music for the sax and piano duo, Govorov & De Groot.  Sergei Govorov and Britta De Groot have performed my music in Colorado and have future plans for more concerts and possible recordings.

Il Gigante di Monterosso - Feat. Sergei Govorov (demo)

A tribute song to the late great Mike Peters of The Alarm who left this world in April 2025, leaving a fantastic legacy behind, one of the good guys.
This song is about my introduction to his music and how it stayed with me shaping my music taste forever.

A cold winter night in December 1983 I witnessed something special that made me stand up and take note for the rest of my life. 
I had brought some really cheap tickets for The Police from a college friend. So off we went  me & my best mate to watch The Police at Birminghams Nec arena. 
Not really giving much thought to who was supporting them. 
We walked in the auditorium to hear the support band just kicking off their set. 
Wow the noise the energy the vocals of the charismatic front man Mike Peters and his band The Alarm .
I was blown away how they rocked this Police audience with their  powerful set  of songs it felt they had took the roof off and welcomed themselves to me.
From that night onwards I fell in love with them and a moment had happened. 
Their single 68 guns was yet to be released as the album was due out very soon called Declaration. 68 guns was an hit and The Alarm had earned their status as one of the best new bands around especially live. 
They went on to support U2, Bob Dylan , Springsteen & Queen gaining a loyal following of fans. While also touring as the headliners on their own shows. 
Mike Peters even fronted Big Country on their comeback tour.
I have lost count how many times I have seen The Alarm and Mike Peters solo shows over the years. 
I watched The Police that night and thought these guys are going through the motions and Sting live never sounded like the record almost changing his vocal style. I’m so glad I was introduced to The Alarm at 16 to show me what live music should be like. 
Mike Peters died on 28th April 2025 at the age of 66 after a 30 year battle with blood cancer. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in 95. Mike was awarded a MBE 2019 for his services to cancer care.
He was a passionate advocate for cancer care, founding the Love Hope Strength Foundation with a fellow patient and using his platform to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. 
Mike Peters also gained the cooperation of a group of young musicians from Chester called the Wayriders to lip-sync the Alarm's material and pass it off as their own. The first release by the fictitious band was promoted as a cover of the Alarm's 1983 hit 68Guns In fact it was the Alarm all along, and instead of a cover, it was a re-released version. The demo enticed executives in music & music production to record an album from the band called In The Poppy Fields which saw its advance release of the single, "45 RPM" entering Britain's top 30 chart. Critical reviews of the band echoed the promoters' official introduction of the band as a tribute to bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash with even more modern acts like Rancid being compared. The truth of the song's origin was not revealed until after the song entered the charts at number 24, a credit originally earned by the Poppy Fields from unsuspecting patrons who had accepted the act as fresh and new.
In a nutshell he duped the music industry showing them as ageist and only new cool music can only come from the young apparently.
The Hairy Hippie was his first ever band formed with his schoolmates to perform at his sister's 21st birthday party. 
So Rip Mr Hairy Hippie is quite fitting really as he had a fine mop of hair through out  his career. Thank you to Mike Fox as always for making ideas a reality with his skill sets and encouraging enthusiasm and incredible patience. 
Big thanks to Ken of K2 & The Three for his Twist style drums that drove the tune. 
Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it.

Expedition Journal

10th June
The hieroglyphs are faded and unclear, but the riddle might be solved.

15th June 
A secret entrance, long buried in the sands of time, finally a way inside the Sphinx.

16th June
We hear the sound of an ancient mechanism and an opening appears. Stepping inside, we discover chambers of wondrous size and form, but all are empty. Our flickering torches show air still moves inside this wonder of the ancient world.
 
Suddenly we find ourselves in danger and running for a possible exit. A mechanical sound of rock sliding over ancient rock. We barely escape with our lives.

17th June
Our entrance and hurried exit are both now fully sealed from intruders. There will be no second chance.

Flying away in the helicopter, the enigmatic Sphinx looks on.

As it always has.

As it always will.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave had worked hard to create a great template of ideas in a fully realised track. Whilst thinking of the title the idea was formed of making it an almost 'Indiana Jones type adventure' with explorers finding a secret way into the Sphinx. This resulted in the journal entry above to set the scene. 

I spent a fair bit of time getting the Phrygian Dominant scale under my fingers for the electric guitar work to contrast Dave's sinuous, winding synth lines.

The end result hopefully does lead the listener on the adventure, with a grand start, a way inside, wonder, peril then danger, before a hurried escape by a different exit as the Sphinx defeats the intruders and seals all the doorways forever. Finally a tiny reprise featuring a departing helicopter closes out the track.

THERE'S SOMEDAY'S IN YOUR LIFE
YOU WANNA RUN AWAY AND HIDE
THE FALLING SKY IS UPON YOU

I'M TRAVELING IN A LONELY RIDE
SOMETHINGS GONNA MAKE ME CRY
I WISH A LITTLE LONGER I HAD YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

ALL THE BETTER DAY'S AHEAD
THE CLEARING SKY IT SAYS
EVERY SINGLE DAY IS ALL SO NEW

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM LOVE
EVERYONE DESERVES JUST ONCE
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR
(break)

IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO START
SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

Magdalen Green, Slight Return

A song lamenting the ability of some to recognise the frailties of human nature in others.

Saturday's bottle fell from the table
And shattered on Sunday's floor
The sound didn't make it through the haze
Of what I had the night before

I'm not perfect,I am flawed
But you get what you see
When you peel away the layers,well
It'll all still be me

I'll never be a politician
Never flatter to deceive
I've no coat of many colours
My heart is on my sleeve

It wasn't meant to be this way
To end up alone
Beauty is only skin deep
But ugly goes to the bone

I'm not perfect,I am flawed
But you get what you see
When you peel away the layers,well
It'll all still be me

I'm not perfect,I am flawed
I lack some discipline
I'm no fine example of
A model citizen

First album of songs. 'Flying Solo'.
https://vancemagill.bandcamp.com/album/flying-solo

And on Spotify
https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
This is my first solo venture. It's an album of ten songs and it can be downloaded  from bandcamp free,or for whatever you deem it worth. I'd be happy if you just take a copy and listen to my musical ramblings. 
Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

Follow on Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
