Forest Flight

UPDATE:  Right before Christmas 2023 The Gift of Life organization that handles transplant donors and recipients finally decided that the family of my for and I could personally communicate with each other. We had filled out 2 sets of forms asking to be able to talk. This took too long. I finally know who gave me life! His name is Neal. I'll keep the last name private. 

He has three young adult children. His death was sudden and unexpected after having severe pain in his head. I had a long talk with their mother Connie who told me about Neal and his children. Two of his children are musicians, one who has released albums. Best of all, except for one son, they live only a two hour drive from me in Pa. This connection has made all of us happy. Neal lives on in me. There is so much that never would have happened without this gift of life to me.
***************

Ten years ago I had a liver transplant. They never tell you who donated it because of privacy issues but you can write a letter and give it to your transplant co-ordinator to pass on to them and they can contact you if they want to. I didn't do that. The first couple years were touch and go for me and I was in and out of the hospital quite a bit. The years that followed were rough. The medicine I have to take causes cancer and I had more surgeries for that. Liver disease caused my bones to be brittle and I've broken quite a few. But about a year ago my drs said that whatever I die from it won't be my liver. It is functioning very well. The man who gave me his liver has a family. Hopefully their grieving causes them less pain. I wanted to write music for him, for them that expressed my emotions at having ten years of life I came close to not having. My doctors told me I would not have lived another two weeks before I would have gone into a coma. I would have missed my grandchildren growing up and three great grandbabies being born and a fourth on it's way.  I would have not recorded 100 pieces of music as my legacy to future generations. Not a day has gone by that I have not thought about this man. He checked the box 'organ donor' on his drivers license. We rarely know when the end is coming. We need to appreciate every day we have. If he could only now see through my eyes. ❤️

If You Could See Through My Eyes

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,

https://dominiquelebars1.bandcamp.com/track/jaime-pas

"J' aime pas quand la tartine tombe parterre du côté confiture
Ca m' rappelle que j' vais mourir un jour
J' aime pas les polochons, les chaucidous, 
Le saucisson aux choux et les chats qui sont trop mignons
J' suis pas à l'aise dans mon époque,  j' suis engoncé comme dans un froc
Bien trop serré pour mes petites breloques
J' rêve d'espace et d'impatience le soir sur le pont de mes souvenirs
J' aime pas l' béton, les sarcophages, j'aime pas les cons ni l' maquillage
J' aime pas les autres et j' m' aime pas moi
Ca fait beaucoup oui j' suis d'accord, Ca fait beaucoup oui je sais bien, 
Mais c'est comme ça.."

The Hero In Me

Darren Porter & Susana - The Hero In Me

Strongly influenced by Enigma's Sadness, for sure! I liked this drum pattern so much back then!!! And searching for this unique "overblown" flute I almost went insane (well...then little has changed in my state of mind 😆)

Narrow Minds

my contribution to the free 34-track Guxt arrange album organized by PXTUNES https://pxtunes.bandcamp.com/album/guxt-remix-invasion - a piano arrangement of the Ending theme! definitely recommend checking out this whole album, it's super creative and diverse

album art by WillThur!

Ending from "Guxt" ~Lounge Piano ver.~

Warming up my fingers and co-ordinating my hands. No thought. No reason, just playing up and down the keyboard. Still very agile. No arthritis. At this point in my life I couldn't ask for more.

Lost In Thought - #8168 By Chair House 08172022

Might turn this into a track idea. What do you think? 🤔 Also yes I did play this on the piano.

piano improv (track idea? read description)

Dorian Electra is one of my favorite artists and I am especially obsessed with their song Give Great Thanks. This was a spontanous improvisation that recorded for a lover and where i stuck to the melody and only veered off halfway through it. Check out my more abstract interpretaion of the song also on my page.
I recorded playing the e piano with my phone so unfortunately you can hear the click clack of the keys...

Dorian Electra's Give Great Thanks - literal impro

There are (5) Tinkering in The Keys. Bear with me as I explain. When I sit on my stool to play my piano, at nearly a standing position, usually the first thing I do is warm up, like a dancer has to stretch and warm up before they dance. I play a series of exercises to coordinate my hands from one end of the keyboard to the other, playing in every key, major and relative minor. My fingers are nimble and can play fast but what is the point of doing that. It is not my style. To prove what? I'm not trying to impress anyone with great technic. What is the point of the music being created? The point is for you to hear the story I'm telling and making it your own. Improvising the music I make, which is different from those who read and memorize music. ANYONE can learn how to read music. Not everyone can create music. It is not about how fast I can play but how much emotion I can create inside, for myself, playing my piano from the inside out, not striking the keys on the outside to make sound. It is about the vibration on the tones. I play for me. I let you listen.

These 5 pieces were all created inside 30 minutes. No redos, no fixes. They are clearly my style of playing cultivated over 60 years, and I'm not done yet. I usually play for an hour or two non-stop but I cut my playing this time into five pieces because no one will listen non-stop for that long. Most of it is played with my eyes closed, listening, knowing my keyboard that well. Feeling for chords that say what I feel. I don't care if I make mistakes. It's all part of the music. I don't practice music over and over until it's perfect. Life isn't perfect.

I'm not uploading the music in order but they will later be put in a playlist. My music is best listened to in the dark, eyes closed and go to sleep. In the next music descriptions I will explain what I think about improvised music and the players who play it, and what is happening to music in today's generation.

They Were Resting In The Shade Of A Bodhi Tree - #3370 By Chair House 03072023

Debut EP here including 'Amore' : https://ampl.ink/bKlmm

Amore (Debut EP available now on Spotify / iTunes)

This piece was recorded quite a long time ego. I hadn't really listened to it in a couple years. It still brought years to my eyes. It was a very emotional time in my life. All of my pieces very recorded for a reason.  Sometimes for me and sometimes as a gift for others.

There is also a music video  https://youtu.be/z9OxroRGpO0.  There is poetry for this. I have to find it

Picking up Broken Pieces

A morte, o casamento do feitiço com o feiticeiro.
É a única liberdade, a única herança deixada pelo Deus desconhecido, o encoberto, o objeto semi-identificado, o desobjeto, o Deus-objeto.
- Sample Cut Collage Mix - 
Gilberto Gil - Objeto Semi Identificado+Brian Bennett - Solstice.
prod. Lubraxx
Cafofus Records 2017.

Deus Objeto

Some days have been harder than others to go through. I lose track of what day it is because of the isolation. There is sadness knowing there are millions of people who are grieving the loss of their family and friends this year that should not have happened this way.  There are many more that don't know they are on the list. I've worked hard to make it to this point. There is so much more music to play and give away hoping to leave a piece of me with them. As I play I have another great grandbaby on the way. will my music be the only way they get to know me. I guess that depends.

This piece has other instruments, 4 tracks, which often changes the story. I have also uploaded just the piano where all the music begins. The music is layered one improv over the others. There is no mixing, only what I hear in my head as I play. It can't be changed. It is what it is, what I'm feeling at that moment.  The music is completed usually in 20-30 minutes. It either works or it doesn't.

The Beginning and the End

the title on this song seems fitting today as an american inauguration takes place. hopefully a turbulent, stormy era is subsiding and a new beginning is unfolding on january 20th.

the orchestration is by guillaume pearson, guitar arrangement by naldo. the full title of the original song by hitoshi yasui of chairhouse is: "the sweet breath of spring played amidst its branches". his beautiful piano version can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/the-sweet-breath-of-spring-played-amidst-its-branches-2448-by-chair-house-08272020

the cover art is Fandango by Milt Kobayashi

Sweet Breath of Spring

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!
