City Life

I like many am shocked and appalled at what is unfolding before us. In the midst of this darkness I salute the people who are opening their hearts and offering assistance to the refugees from this disastrous conflict.

Here are some UK links to appeals providing humanitarian aid. I'm sure each country has equivalent appeals happening now.

StateOfGrace

I went down  to the corner market
To talk to the local prophet
He said $   12.50 please will that be cash or charge

Went home to my one room kingdom
To drink of the liquid wisdom
And let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

Called in to the Tex Mex Shamen 
He said yea man keep on rocking
So I practice my licks till I feel in my finger tips

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me back
To a State of Grace

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Solo¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

So I search out the online gurus
To yourself they said to be true
The more you know the more that you will grow
And so it goes

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace
To a better place
To a State of Grace

Wasting Time

feels wonderful from here
and it seems worth mentioning
thru the early morning chill
see the world awakening

and so it is
and so it goes

see the luminescent leaves
dancin' with the breeze
the critters start to seek
a way to go

the butterflies that float
together carelessly
bring beauty to the day
already beautiful

Jens sent me a treasure trove of original loops. This is going to be fun!

This song appears on an album called Synthastic alongside those some other amazing musicians with whom my Swiss friend, the very talented and gracious Karin-Maria Brunner collaborated. It's an album centered around the synthesizer, whatever sounds one can get from it, based on her ideas. I cannot properly express my depth of honor and gratitude to her for including me with musicians I admire, like Frans Beelaard, and for sharing her creative seeds with me. Karin-Maria is a truly exquisite musician, with a very disciplined style and mind for musical precision, as well as beautiful melody. You can find her on here under her name. She actually shared two songs with me for this project, and this is the first of those. I tried to come up with an interesting, modal melody for both, in hopes of impressing her. I hope it has the same effect on you. I also provided the beat and bass line for this song. You can find the entire album on your favorite streaming service. We appreciate your listens!

Silence After You Leave

My 'Adagio for Expanded Chamber Orchestra' draws heavily on the music of the late romantic composers Bruckner Wagner and Mahler but does its (acknowledged)borrowing in a uniquely improvisational and individualistic style style for which I make no apology.
The music in this piece is sometimes dramatic, and as the piece unfolds, its structure in terms of the golden section durations it employs become evident and I hope pleasing to the listener
This track was mastered by John Cafarella.

Adagio For Orchestra An Exercise in Late-Romantic Harmony (Remix 24 February 2023)

This is a song I'm very proud of because it's a musical family photo of the first time my son Marshall and I ever played string instruments together. He had just turned 9, and had only been playing the fiddle for about two months. I told him to hit an open D and the E for four beats of two measures, only I didn't say it like that. I just played it for him and he was able to keep a good rhythm for about four minutes! Originally, this song was just him on violin and me on mandolin, but I went back and added some bass, too. I really hope you enjoy my Fathers Day treat. I told him I'd let him know how many people listened to it, and show him the comments. He's come a long way since then, about 7 months ago, but this recording is very special to me, and I really wanted to share it with my SoundCloud family. Thank you so much for giving it a listen, and happy Fathers Day to everyone who is or has a father!

If Jules Verne proposed a  round-the-world trip in 80 days, Jean Toba offers us the chance to go very far in just a few minutes. Perhaps you'll feel like you're traveling through Asia, or even a short trip through the bush, or maybe you'd prefer a walk through the African savannah...
It'll be up to your imagination, but walking on the wonder rhythm of Jean Toba's cinematic music. 

For this track, with the help of his synthesizers Jean Toba begins his sonic journey with Asian-inspired sounds, later the rimshot of a drum sets the tempo and introduces a more epic change in soundscape. Finally a keyboard, the voice of Jean Toba and a clarinet take us for a delicious final walk spiced up with some well-placed hit sounds.

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I like your music, I say how it affected me, maybe something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I'm blown away by how many amazing artists are out there, so many folks who are recording their wonderful musical ideas, and doing it on a shoestring budget! I have a bit of a musical split personality, mainly writing music in two different styles: pop/rock songs, and jazz-rock fusion/prog instrumentals. Main instrument is guitar; I also play a Fender P-bass on most of my tracks. I am not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough to make my work sound ok.
