Really enjoyed the orchestration here, Steve...excellent work, my friend

The bassoons are rocking! I used to play so I'm obliged to love this sound :D

@studio-little: Thanks! Your comments are appreciated!

Having just completed my third solo album, I thought I would do another acoustic guitar instrumental and it now being the month of May.................

The Month Of May

This song is a result of trans-Pacific cooperation at it's best. my his friend Mikey McFaffington, of Geelong, Australia, sent me some guitar chords and a smoking sax riff. I took them both, added an arrangement, bass, organ, guitar, and a beat. This is the result. We hope you like it. You can find Mikey on here, too, under his name.

Ulanara（1718~1766）

Ulanara is the second wife of Emperor Qianlong.
In 1750 she was made Empress by the strong recommendation of Empress Dowager .

(1765), during the Jiangnan tour, she was directly sent back to Beijing, incurring the emperor's wrath. It is said that she cut her hair, which was taboo for a Manchurian, but it is not clear.

She was subsequently stripped of all powers and she was not buried as Empress after her death.
There is no figure of her in the picture scroll depicting the empress and consort of the Qianlong Emperor.

Check out the music video for the song here!(≧∇≦)ﾉ

乌拉那拉是乾隆皇帝的第二任妻子。
1750年，在皇太后的强烈推荐下，她被立为皇后。

(1765年)，江南巡视时，直接被遣送回京，招致皇帝震怒。据说他剪了头发，这是满洲人的忌讳，但并不清楚。

她随后被剥夺了所有权力，死后也没有以皇后的身份下葬。
在描绘她的皇后和妃子的画卷中没有看到她的身影。

I'm A Believer - The Recursives

Eine Kleine Dämmerlicht Musik

Here's an old one recorded in 2005 and remastered today 02.05.23.
A simple Tango with plenty of little quirks.

Tango 4

These songs are influenced by images from the poem Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold. I’m not sure how this poem came to me, I’m not a big reader of poetry, but there is is. I used several images from the poem to name the songs, as well.

The Tide is Full

The Light Gleams And Is Gone

Production and all orchestrations By Teth Sin
Lyrics and Singing ------by Stonerjazz

The Maestro

captured in the eddy of the river bright, the still life painted with the colors of the soul, the dead-eyed and the damaged wander through the landscape of the misty light without compassion for our plight.

even in the darkest night there’s drops of paint, notes from my guitar, and tiny light that usher in such lush delights, though worthless in the merchants eye, the maestro has the wings to fly…

it’s a big mess, got a hole in my chest, taken down and crushed like apples in a press, i confess to everything i’ve ever done. every single one of us… on the run.

when minds are quiet, the stink of revolution floats in the air, and the overlords they waste away in deep despair… slippin in the deep end not so quietly. fantastic sights!!
tin can rattle in the back, living in a tiny shack, standing in the middle of a two lane blacktop gazing at a cloud i saw some thirty years ago.

The Maestro  featurlng Teth Sin

A medium-up jazz tune based on Eddie Durham's "Topsy" and Ellington's "Five O'Clock Whistle. With Henning Wolter (piano), Wolfgang Kohlert (bass) and Christoph Behm (drums). Recorded by Reinhard Kobialka.

Swing Ticket

Pipe O'clopsy

words and music K Gennery

A song inspired by one of my favourite tv programmes, BBC's detectorists.

Words:
Fly on a recce surveying for clues,
a reflection or a sparkle, means the world to you.
Then you swoop down and take it and hide it up high,
a treasure trove of goodies, sway in the sky. 
And we all know.

Sunlight is your accomplice in tandem you toil,
hour after hour, through bush, grass and soil.
Probing for that moment, discover like no other,
decades lay unfound, riches abound.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

When you find your rainbow,
with it's own crock of gold.
Keep it to yourself secrets never to be told.
And I'll pop on my top hat and tip it towards you,
a gesture for tradition somewhat long forgotten.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

Love Never Felt So Good [Single]

Thank you for visiting and listening. I appreciate your comments and messages. Please feel free to say hello! - Steve
General life - info / bio - - -
I began my musical education with listening as an infant and at the age of 7, in 1958, composed my first piece of music which was a brass quartet.

Early influences were guided by the musical taste of my Mother which was often Tchaikovsky and other romantic composers, with an occasional diversion to Big Band and pop music of the late 40's and early 50's.

The Boys Club Band, Grade School Choir and High School Band were a great education in basic orchestration and harmony and in the mid 60's, and self taught as a guitarist, I began live performance, which lasted until 1999.

Music and technology have always been my main interests and as those two elements continued to merge through the late 90's to the present, they have led me to the point where I now can successfully realize my earliest childhood dreams of musical expression in composing for full orchestra.

Special thanks to Mom for the great listening experience, brother Greg for the continued guidance in music from a formal perspective, and brother Lew for the technological expertise.
