Chao Heng [Abeno Nakamaro](698〜770)

Chao Heng is the Chinese name of Abeno Nakamaro.

In 717, at the age of 19, Abeno Nakamaro traveled to Tang China with Makibi Kibi and others as a member of the envoy to the Tang Dynasty in order to introduce advanced Tang culture to Japan.

Abeno Nakamaro passed the imperial examination in Chang'an. He served Emperor Xuanzong as an official in the Tang Dynasty. He also interacted with poets such as Li Bai and Wang Wei.

Thirty-six years later, in 753, Abeno Nakamaro was allowed to return to Japan.

However, the ship was wrecked by a typhoon.
, washed ashore in modern-day Vietnam.
He returned to Chang'an via Vietnam, where he ended his life of 73 years.

He never set foot on Japanese soil again.

晁衡 東瀛慕情＜Chao Heng  Longing For JAPAN＞mp3

Calmed by the ocean storm 
Cool breeze when I get warm
That covers me and takes my sorrow away

Healed by the night time sky
Love seems to pass me by
Every time I look into your eyes

Take my Love and go - Take my love, take my love and go

Lost in the desert dust
My love is only lust
I never learned what love was really about
Learned to put myself first
No water only thirst and love is just another mirage in the sand.

Take My Love and Go

This piece is about lifetime...Yes, today I'm 50 !
In this track, I used piano, electric guitar, brushed drums, upright bass, some organ and percussion.
Thanks for listening !

The Journey of Life

Lyrics:
Of all the things I've been hearing,
Hazy dreams somehow clearing.
I'll just keep doing what I'm doing,
Regardless of your past indiscretions.
Amazing things, not all are seen.
Some are meant to be confusing.
My Darling Little Monster.
Got your claws deep inside the cookie jar.
I can hear you raising the bar.
I can see you, you're not far away.
Might even be, closer than I think.
Might even hide, somewhere inside.
Above it all the piper keeps on playing.
The perfect notes, a songful soothsaying.
Lining up the mice and men are trailing,
Plans of pleasing, meaningful attaining.
Cunning visions blindly led sleepwalking.
Revealing goals, bemused they keep talking.
Much like you My darling little Starling.
Oh the songs you sing. 
Leaving your disease the fruit has fallen down.

My Darling Little Starling

Gonna Let Go

Lyrics:
Adjusting the aim, changing the mind.
Serving the dream, seeking to find.
Transmuting views, a genius, the bond.
Messiah, a muse, divine fools. (fools abscond)
Swan song release, the pearl and the wave.
The throng and disease, Wheel of life and nave. (wheel of life)
The eye of the storm, fighting illusion.
The shadow of form, the hermit seclusion.
Occlusions that seal, cover the eyes.
A cycle reveals, a giant surprise.

Divine Fools

Good Time In Dub Fantasie

Before The Sakura Fall

Cast of Characters:
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth and original seed 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar
The Eclectic Collective – composition

 This song began with JJ, as many of our songs do, who composed the outline on the keys, drums, and bass. He then let everyone else in on it immediately. Ken was first up to bat by laying his always cunning drums in there. After he had a beat to work with, Josh used his tree trunk of a five-string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, Tez and Stephen both laid their magical guitars in there. Once we had it all in the can, Stephen used his powers of production to give us a great mix.
  This one came together relatively quickly, which is a good sign that we're all enthusiastic about what we're creating. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mellow Travels (The Eclectic Collective)

an ambient track of music to listen as you go to sleep as you gently go through the emotions of the day, floating on a raft as the twists and turns of the water gently lull you into your dreams. There are 5 tracks, each only one laid in succession without listening to the one before it, letting the sound guide where the next notes fall. It took 30 minutes to record this and when i was done - then I listened back to what I played.

Drawing to a Close

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  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 also played. I learned recently that my grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My great grandmother sang and danced in minstrel shows in the early 1900's. I know 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!
