Fighters is an epic cinematic work that transforms intensity, inner struggle, and the power of rising again into sound. The track begins with a dark foundation and gradually builds to monumental climaxes, carrying both hope and determination.

To create this atmosphere, I combined several orchestral libraries:

Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One – providing the orchestral foundation, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Long notes, staccatos, and orchestral swells are featured here.

Spitfire Originals Epic Choir – with soprano and alto voices delivering long “Ahh” phrases that heighten the epic and hymn-like moments.

Spitfire LABS (BBC Symphony Orchestra) – delivering warm, soft viola layers that add emotional depth and a classical foundation.

EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator – bringing in powerful brass sections, driving percussion, and orchestral unison parts that push the track forward cinematically.

Each library contributes its own character:
The Abbey Road Strings add vastness and a majestic tone.
The Epic Choir creates spine-tingling moments, reaching beyond the fight into the spiritual.
The BBC violins & violas bring warmth and melancholy into the heart of the piece.
The Hollywood Orchestrator Brass & Percussion release raw, combative energy.

The result is a composition that feels like the soundtrack to an epic movie – a musical companion for battles fought both within and without. Fighters is not just a track, but an experience: dark, powerful, vulnerable, yet full of hope.

Fighters ist ein episch-cineastisches Werk, das die Intensität des Kampfes, die innere Zerrissenheit und die Kraft des Aufstehens in Klang verwandelt. Der Track beginnt mit einem düsteren Fundament und steigert sich stetig zu monumentalen Höhepunkten, die Hoffnung und Entschlossenheit gleichermaßen transportieren.

Um diese Atmosphäre zu erschaffen, habe ich verschiedene Orchester-Libraries kombiniert:

Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One – für die große orchestrale Basis, aufgenommen in den legendären Abbey Road Studios in London. Hier kommen vor allem die langen und staccato gespielten Streicher sowie die orchestralen Swells zum Einsatz.

Spitfire Originals Epic Choir – Sopran- und Altstimmen, die mit langgezogenen „Ahh“-Phrasen die epischen und hymnischen Passagen verstärken.

Spitfire LABS (BBC Symphony Orchestra) – für warme und weiche Violaklänge, die dem Track emotionale Tiefe und ein klassisches Fundament verleihen.

EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator – für kraftvolle Brass-Sektionen, markante Percussion-Elemente und orchestrale Unisono-Parts, die den Track filmisch vorantreiben.

Jede dieser Libraries trägt ihren eigenen Charakter bei:
Die Abbey Road Strings verleihen Weite und majestätische Klangräume.
Der Epic Choir schafft Gänsehaut-Momente, die über den Kampf hinaus in das Spirituelle reichen.
Die BBC Violinen & Violas bringen Wärme und Melancholie ins Zentrum des Stückes.
Die Hollywood Orchestrator Brass & Percussion setzen die kämpferische, rohe Energie frei.

So entsteht eine Komposition, die sich wie ein Soundtrack zu einem epischen Film anfühlt – ein musikalischer Begleiter für innere und äußere Schlachten. Fighters ist damit nicht nur ein Track, sondern ein Erlebnis: dunkel, mächtig, verletzlich und dennoch voller Hoffnung.

Fighters

I decided to take another stab at this song (went down a rabbit hole for about 10 hours and completely re-played and re-sang the song).  I struggled with the vocals on my original version so I changed the key to E which made it easier to sing.

Lyrics
In the planet of the ape’s movie in 1968
Astronauts crash landed on a planet that was in a sorry state
They stumbled across a society intelligent of apes who could speak
And there were humans, but they were mute and weak
They’d been asleep in their hibernation pods and 2006 years had elapsed
And somewhere during that time humanity had collapsed
And the astronauts didn’t realize they were on the planet where they’d been born as the apes hunted them and they hid in a field of corn
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that monkey fate, hope we smarten up
I wonder what those apes are thinking as they’re sitting in their cages at the zoo
Are they biding their time, making plans for what they’re goanna do
Are they dreaming of the day when they’re on the other side of that glass wall
Are they patiently counting the minutes, waiting for humanities downfall
The apes killed one of the astronauts and they stuffed him and put him on display j
Just like trophy hunters do with animals today
The Astronaut named Taylor, he got shot in the throat
He was unable to talk, so he got a pen and showed the apes what he wrote
The apes realized he was intelligent, and it shook them to their core
And the forbidden zone was a place they weren’t supposed to explore
Taylor met a girl he named Nova, she couldn’t talk but she was pretty.
A couple of apes helped them escape to what used to be New York city
And they rode together on a horse on a beach that looked like the west coast
Until they found that statue and realized humanity was toast
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that Monkey Fate, hope we smarten up
The planet of the ape’s is supposed to be science fiction
Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be an accurate depiction

Recorded in 2021. remastered.  I have to have a new way to play the piano. My sister and my son are doing that. They are working out a way to bring the piano to my hospital bed. I can no longer sit up, even in my powerchair. It's too uncomfortable and hard to breathe. I don't have functioning back or abdominal muscles, and I can't lift my head off my chest unless In laying back. Only my arms and hands are semi-functioning. My thumbs are going bad. I can't pull a zipper. I won't be able to play as well and I don't know how I'll work the sustain pedal - but I'll do my best! 😊🎶🎹🎶

The Battle

Vocals: @Oddrun-Eikli 
Trumpet: @Arne-Hiorth
Lyrics: @user-264930040 (Peter)
Piano: Debra Buesking
This piano composition takes its cues from Beethoven's Bagatelle "Für Elise".  It seemed a bit of fun to give Beethoven's famous piece a new twist and so we have.  Thank you to my dear friends Oddrun, Arne, and Peter, for this marvelous and joyful experience of working together.  It brings us all a bit closer together.

An Autumn Pastorale

The year’s getting late, now summer’s sleeping
I contemplate how autumn’s creeping in.
Berries shining for the birds
As they harmonise each others’ words In a chorus like the angels heard.

The year’s getting late, for carefree living

Lazy times, with honest give and take.
Simple joys like baby smiles
And climbing hills to see for miles
The evening star switching on…year’s getting late

The year’s getting late, memories clinging
Better times, that sweet hope’s bringing in
The last of this year’s butterflies
Mother nature’s neat surprise

Can’t those days come back please? … year’s getting late.

The blue lullaby

Today’s #MusicalMinute evokes a calm morning view, looking out over the sand dunes towards the sea.  The pitch-class set is 5-35, which seems to be the most popular mode this month.  In fact, you could say that this pentatonic is almost chameleon like in the way it can represent many cultures around the world.  Perhaps it will play an important role in next year’s musical explorations.  What do you think?

My music pieces are all piano improvisations expressing emotions. It is music telling stories without the words. In my earIy years I sang and played piano in piano bars or fronted bands of different styles, from country to heavy metal and to 40. I've been composing, teaching and performing most of my life.  I'm getting old(er) now 😔 but the great thing about creating music is it gets better the longer you play, and you have more to write about! 

This is what I leave of me to my generations to come who wonder where their desire to make music comes from. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My son is also exceptional.  My great grandmother and gr grandfather sang and danced in minstrel shows (vaudeville) in the early 1900's. Kids today have no idea what life was like before moving pictures.  I now have great-grandchildren. They will know who I am through my music. When I am gone my music will still be here. What a wonderful thought!
