Why?
Music has been a major interest throughout most of my life, but sadly, I am neither a musician nor a singer in reality. In my 50s, I completed a sound/music program at the “Studio Blue” school in Stockholm. Since then, I’ve had the humble ambition to create musical content that, at the very least, impresses myself— and hopefully, keeps improving over the years.

Many hugs,
Bing Bashby

You can listen to this song in front of the Vice President's wife and not get in trouble. Maybe. :P

Lyrics 

I walk alone where shadows hide
Between the cracks of neon lights
My footsteps echo, no one replies
Just ghosts that know my name tonight


The streets are quiet, but not at peace
Every corner holds a piece of me
Reflections in the windows lie
Pretending someone else survived


I reach for silence in the noise
But all I hear is my own voice


Do you see me through the smoke and screens?
Or am I just a face between the scenes?
I’m not lost but I’m not free
Just walking with the ghosts of me


Old posters fading on the wall
Like dreams too scared to stand too tall
I talk to strangers in my mind
They’re the only ones who treat me kind


A thousand eyes and no one sees
The cracks beneath my memories


Do you see me through the smoke and screens?
Or am I just a face between the scenes?
I’m not lost but I’m not free
Just walking with the ghosts of me


Streetlights flicker like a pulse that’s fading
Hope is quiet, but it’s still waiting
If I scream into this endless night
Will someone hear? Will someone fight?


Do you see me through the smoke and screens?
Or am I just a face between the scenes?
I’m not lost but I’m not free
Still walking with the ghosts of me


Sidewalk ghosts, walk on with me...

PRIMA DONNA

This tune is part of a concept album of mine that never was, but I’m still hoping to complete it in the future (one should never ever give up!). Essentially it is a demo of the main melody for a piece that will always be close to my heart.  

 

Heart of Bieszczady (Demo)

Под клубничным небом наши губы встречаются — и реальность начинает плавиться.
Мир вокруг искрится глитч-эффектами, как в застывшем кадре архаичного фильма…
Пиксели сладко тают, словно капли ягодного сока растекаются по времени.

Bought a saxophone and tried to practice it.
Maybe not quite serious, but here I added some playing to a track I´d already finished earlier.
Well, it went, I dont know. Think i naively mistreated the sound processing thoug.

In the end I had to give the saxophone up for several reasons — one of them being that I’m allergic to grass. Saxophone reeds are usually made of cane, after all. Eventually, it led to bleeding sores around my mouth. But anyways.
Mostly real instruments.

“Misty” is a jazz standard written and originally recorded in 1954 by pianist Erroll Garner. He laid it down as an instrumental on July 27, 1954 for his album Contrasts in a classic 32-bar form .

Garner composed the melody at altitude—reportedly while flying, inspired by the view of clouds and thoughts of his wife—and, unable to write music notation, committed it to memory until he could record it later with his trio.

In 1959, lyricist Johnny Burke added words, transforming “Misty” into a vocal ballad. That same year, Johnny Mathis’s rendition on his album Heavenly reached No. 12 on the U.S. Pop Singles chart and became Mathis’s signature song.

The tune gained cinematic fame in 1971, when it underpins the score of Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut Play Misty for Me, in which a radio DJ is repeatedly implored—“play Misty for me”—by an obsessed fan.

Over the decades, hundreds of artists have made “Misty” their own. Icons such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Frank Sinatra have recorded it, cementing its status as one of the most beloved standards in both instrumental and vocal jazz.

Here I would like to present music composed and produced by myself (multitracking guitars, bass, and drums) and pieces that were created in the context of various bands since 1990. Some of the tracks are completely worked out, some are demos, some are from jam sessions, and some are live recordings. When relevant, in each single track the band name is given, the respective players are listed, and details as to the background of the music are presented.
All drawings and paintings were done by myself and, in some cases, by my wife, Andrea.
