In remembrance of my mother of 78 that just passed. Mom, we love you so much, "All This Time." Vocals by Synthesizer V's Hayden and Solaria. Words, programming, and music by Steve Sink.

(Chorus)
All the memories make me, make me, cry--oh why?
I can't let myself to forget you
For loving me, all this time
All this time 

Starting with the birth of me 
Going through the worst of me 
Loving you was always what we do.
Long after the step was gone 
Right before the worst would come 
Right before the end is here
We will miss you. 

Chorus

Never had the luck in men
Staying through the worst of them
Loving you was always what we do.
Long after the Wayne was gone
Right before the Jim would come
Right now is the time we fear
We will miss you.

Chorus

Always gave your love for  free
Turned your cheek to Hate, Envy.
Loving you was always what we do.
Long after my faith was gone 
Yours stood strong and still kept on
Right before the End Time's here
We will miss you. 

(Bridge)
Now or then or forever when
Amen, we will  see you again
All this time, all this time, all this time 

Chorus

Never had the luck in men,
Staying through the worst of them
Loving you was always what we do

Always gave your love for  free
Turned your cheek to Hate, Envy
Right now is the time we fear
We will miss you 
Starting with the birth of me, going through the worst of me
Loving you was always what we do 
Long after the step was gone, right before the worst would come,
Right before the end is here, we will miss you 

Chorus

(Ending)
All the memories make me make me - cry oh - why - oh - why - oh - why - - all this time, time.

Somewhere Beyond the Horizon

Somewhere Beyond the Horizon: Collaboration

Original melodic guitar blues-based rock instrumental.

Featuring a collaborative effort between multi-instrumentalist me (keys, NS/Stick bass/guitar, drums, etc.) and several different algorithms to generate melodic lines. I generate several versions of the melodies using "algos" (algorithms, but shortened to sound cool and techy), wade through them and edit them, and prune them, and splice them together; or stitch in new MIDI captured by me playing keys. I also feed my melodies into the algos and have them chop them up and drop mathematical equivalents of psychedelics and generate new variations of my lines. A true collaborative effort between man and machine to make music.

Once Upon A Time -- Rock melodic instrumental

Blues rock piano with the crooning vocals of Synthesizer V's Hayden, and then backing vocals by Solaria (Soprano), Natalie (Alto), Kevin (Tenor), and then Ritchie (Bass). Blues rock piano using a classical A Harmonic Minor chord sequence that I invented for several classical piano pieces in the past (Am Dm G C F Bb E Am) and have thrown all of my favorite blues piano tricks and riffs onto that classical structure.

“I Want the World (You)” by Stephen Sink

As a young boy I swore
I’d never sell out.
Now I’m older and I’m
Selling every way.

As a young man I swore
I’d never lose out.
Now I’m older and I’m
Losing every day

Chorus
I want the world to see
I have you girl with me
I need no guarantee 
What I want is what I need 
And that’s the two of you and me
 
Making it anyway we can
We won’t find out now 
Until the end of time
How this all ends

Chorus
As a young boy I swore
I’d never get out
Now I’m older and I’m
Getting it every day

As a young man I swore
I’d never make it out
Now I’m older and I’m
Making it every way

Chorus
Making it anyway we can
We won’t find out now 
Until the end of time
How this all ends
Chorus

I Want The World (You)

"Don't Go" - Synthesizer V vocals

I started out trying to make a J-Pop style pop tune, as you do, and all I had was a MIDI drum loop that I found on the internet that was labeled "J-Pop Disco" and no other backing tracks. So I thought it would be fun to bring in country-flavor baritone guitar, and some Celtic fingerpicking on a 12-string acoustic, and make a country J-Pop song. And then I added fiddle to the whole thing, and suddenly I had my hook with a catchy melody and real song sections. I actually have vocal melodies all blocked out and ready for me to figure out what this song is going to be about. 

But for now, here is the instrumental I'm calling "J-Pop Country."

J-Pop Country (Instrumental)

Psychedelic Prog Rock with analog keyboards, big stadium drums, pyrotechnic guitars, and layered vocal harmonies.  

"Infinity's Canvas" by Stephen Sink and Udio.

A mandelbrot set in motion, don't blink your eye
Zooming deeper, there's a world to unveil
In the heart of the math, a truth that never fails
Preceding 
As it unfolds, the beauty grows, ah

Verse 1
In these geometric throes
In patterns bold, and edges sharp, ah
Let these shapes compound, 'cause I'm drawing near
To Fractal Lands
Infinity's reel
And chaos forms the perfect bout
Fractal dreams forever

Symmetry spirals, it's a wondrous sight
Across dimensions, we take our flight
Chasing borders that will never end
Through the fabric of space, we blend

[Chorus]
Edges twist, they turn, they dive, ah
In this complex world, we're alive

Every line's a journey, every curve's a tale
A never-ending maze that we traverse
Infinite in essence, in this fractal grail
We're riding on the edge of the universe

[Chorus]
So we soar through this fractal dimension, ah
In a dance with the echoes of mind
In a dance with the echoes

[Solo]

Now gaze upon the Mandelbrot shore, ah
Castaway in a sea of math and lore
Escaping time in an algorithm's bind
Complexity that's one of a kind
Absorbing the chaos, pure and raw, ah
Within the silence, a hidden awe

Infinity's Canvas

Spherical Inversion

Guitar instrumental featuring melodic rock riffs and searing solos over crunchy guitars and piano and finger-picking acoustic guitar.

Laid Back, Laid Forth -- melodic guitar instrumental

"Funky Clav" is one of my personal favorite instrumentals of 2024. I later turned it into the song "Don't Go!" but I'm now liking the instrumental version much better than the vocal singing version. In spite of the funky clav throughout the piece, I'm doing most of the lead on Hammond B3 organ, with NS/Stick 8-string bass, and some Fender baritone guitar and lots of 12-string acoustic guitar.
