Everybody Burns.  Steve Killingbeck

little fly hanging in a spiders web-
he's been pumped full of poison but he still ain't dead
Oh Lord, O Lord how'd you think of THAT !
Friend of mine- it's crying shame
he's got a well designed virus eating at his brain
o lord. o lord how'd you think of that?

Sometimes I feel so far from home.

Jesus Christ came to save our skins
goodness me, look what we did to him-was that your masterstroke ?

God is Love-o but then again
the only mercy i see comes from the hearts of men,
how did you think of that?


So Far From Home. Steve Killingbeck

この曲は海をイメージして制作しています。凄くシンプルな構成曲で、ゆったりとしたテンポの穏やかな曲です。リラックスして聴いて頂けたら幸いです。

This song is made with the image of the sea. It's a very simple composition, and it's a gentle song with a relaxed tempo. I hope you can relax and listen.

波間より…咆哮…響いて From the waves ... roaring ... echoing

The Golden Age

faced with the rays of heaven
you'll see everything is how it's meant to be
so let that supposition result in dancing
and the sound arising as you feel the need

quiet harbingers have walked the path alone 
and left behind their guidance in the marking stones
there is substance to these dreams of Avalon
I know you feel it in your bones

messages of love by satellite the anthem of the final days
we gather in the starless night in the last of the golden age

the heavy burdens of this life 
can make us selfish and blind
I see you there and I know
you are honest and kind

there is no weapon that will prevail against us
as we  stand our ground in the final days
you must remember love is relentless
here in the golden age 

trust that your heart will fill with joy 

it's still so early in the spring
on the spectrum of life 
more subtle is the journey as we arrive
no more hiding in half light

will you be there in the light of love

The Golden Age

This is an OLD one from the SectionZ music days. I spliced a lot of that by hand. I haven't found the DAW file yet, so here is an unmixed .mp3

Goodmorning Mr Devil

Peace begins within ourselves 💌 A musical letter to the Ukrainian people

Since this track seems to be well received, I would like to share some secrets. I used the following for this:
https://heavyocity.com/product-category/foundations/
Heavyocity - Foundations Piano. I used it as an arpeggio bass track for the low octaves.
https://sonuscore.com/shop/the-orchestra-complete/
Sonuscore - The Orchestra Complete 3. Here I loaded the instrument "Grand Piano Lid Closed" on its own sound track for the melody and staccato chords.
https://www.spitfireaudio.com/originals-epic-choir
Spitfire Audio - Originals Epic Choir. As with the piano, I opened two instances and recorded separately on two sound tracks. On the first, the "ladies" sopranos & altos: short staccato syllables, and on the second, the men's tenor & basses: short staccato syllables. On both I experimented with different expressions and dynamics controlled by the modulation wheel via controller. The ladies are more dominant here.
https://refx.com/nexus/expansion/hollywood-2-core-library/
Nexus 4 - Hollywood 2 Core Library. Here I loaded the Strings and Choir preset from the "Vocal/Choir" category. I adjusted the attack a bit to get a smoother sound. It supports the sung staccatos of the choir from Spitfire Audio as a soundscape.
Then, last but not least, I used Sonuscore's The Orchestra Complete 3 again for the horns and loaded the "Horns of Hell" preset. I reduced the internal reverb a bit for this and also worked with dynamics and expression via mod wheel here.

Since I am quite lazy when it comes to drum pattern programming: The drums and percussion are ready-made samples and come from KeepForest, HighLife and other sample forges.
All in all, there are six instrument tracks loaded here in FL Studio and three audio tracks. There's also an EQ, compressor, and delay and reverb on the master. That's it!

The spark that ignited this composition: Heart Of The Andes by Frederic Edwin Church....

"This painting was inspired by Church's second trip to South America in the spring of 1857. During his nine-week trip through Ecuador, Church made numerous sketches, and many surviving watercolors and drawings contain elements from this work. The painting was publicly unveiled on April 27, 1859, at Lyrique Hall, 756 Broadway, in New York. It was subsequently moved to the gallery of the Studio Building on Tenth Street and illuminated in a darkened room with gas jets hidden behind silver reflectors. The work caused a great sensation, and twelve to thirteen thousand people paid twenty-five cents each to see it each month. The painting was also shown in London, where it was also greatly admired."

A Fragment Of Peace

The Simplicity

Lune

My son was around for a few days wanting some help with his philosophy modules for college. We had a merry time trying to make sense of aristotle's virtue ethics, Satre's 'abandonment',  Neitche and all that jazz. Needless to say, I wasn't a lot of help. 
I misrepresented about a dozen distinguished philo-wallah's but in the interest of brevity only three made it into the song.

This is the instrumental version of the song 'Authenticity'. I think it's a good template for a new remix. Therefore I make it available as an open collab offer.

If you want to remix and publish it, please tell me, mention me in the description and in the title. The title name and cover picture can of course also be changed.

Angelina, tell me,  where have you been ?
You have the scent of another woman on your skin.

Angelina. Where Have You Been ?  Steve Killingbeck

Another one with that fine electrical guitarist Mr Keitonie.     Keitonie has a track on his site.....Funky Blues...  I put a song to it, sent it back and he laid some wild and appropriate lead to it. It's worth a listen.  

I'm the thunder in the desert
i'm the man who reads your mail
i'm the cop that shot your brother and put his ass in jail
i'm the grande fromage.....I'm the biggest cheese
don't mess with me....i'm the biggest monkey in the tree

You may call me alpha male , you may call me mr brute
i've got the concessions on all the ripest fruit
there ain't nobody living can lay a finger on me
it's plain to see...i'm the biggest monkey on the tree

i'm the liar in your kitchen
i'm the darling of the press
i'm the gunman on the border, i'm the stains upon your dress
i'm a man of substance....I flatter to deceive
I'm a vip...i'm the biggest monkey on the tree

you may call me alpha male...you may call me mr d
i'm closing down the borders to the land of the free
you should see the weapons.. in my armoury
i think you would agree...i'm the biggest monkey in the tree

-==Thats roughly what i'm singing...

Biggest Monkey In The Tree. (Keitonie- Steve killingbeck)

The Future

Talk to me- well at least say something...........
How does it feel now the cull has passed you by ?
Good friends we lost- they were drowned and broken,
you say that you're alright- I see a shadow cross your eye.
Sail away sailor girl

Tell me a tale about your life on the ocean
before the storm that blew you to my door.
Was the sun on your skin ?
Did you make it to the islands?
Was there treasure at your feet,
were the trade winds blowing through your hait ?
Sail away sailor girl.

Now you wave from the deck but there's nobody watching you,
the beaches are deserted and this harbor's seen better days.
Your sails are set-there's a fair wind rising,
I'm not the kind of man who's gonna wave you goodbye.
Sail away sailor girl....

Sea Shanti. Steve Killingbeck

It's a home-spun kind of sound.    Enjoy your dream . Stevek
