I present you with the first 'airing' of our New Jazz Piece 'Mysteres et Nuances', which features 'The Wind Man'... @GeorgBoehme. 😎

This was originally a Solo Jazz Piano Piece of mine from years ago.  
To revisit it and read the Liner Notes with my thoughts on the piece Listen here @  https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/sets/mysteres-et-nuance
                   
A month ago I offered Georg the opportunity to lay some Baritone Sax on it, and thankfully, he accepted and sent several stems. Working with all of them, i molded their essences into this Arrangement and got very very close to what i had imagined. 

It speaks on many levels, but now... in this new version... 
Imagine what possessed early humans when they searched the skies, felt the Call...  and began the greatest journey in history; the move Out of Africa! 

So set back... don't expect anything... 
and enJoy 😎

Mysteres et Nuances _ Featuring Georg Boehme

This is another Iteration of my composition 'Mystères et Nuances', a free flowing 'Long distance - Improvisation' featuring Wind-Man Georg Boehme @GeorgBoehme 

"The reality of Quantum Entanglement has always intrigued me, and Georg has given me a wonderful Birthday gift today by offering to adventure with me into that realm where Time, Space and Tone tend to Murmurate, like Starlings. 😁                                

'The Groove' within the seemingly timeless Pulse of this piece is really suggested by the Tonal harmonics and inherent rhythms within them! At least that's the way i hear it. 😉

In any case, it's been particularly delightful to work with him. His tonal dynamics are a wonder. 

A BiG Thank-You  Georg! 🙏  🎷 🎶 

May we continue to journey together again within the infinite space in which Music is born! 🕊️

'The Path To The Secret Doorway (Feat. Georg Boehme)' This has been a tremendous musical journey with Georg. And for me, a very special one. Georg's wind arrangements are nothing less than sublime and it's just been an honour for me, sharing this journey with him.
The "Path" is the music and behind the "Secret Doorway" .....well that's the secret, isn't it?
I hope you enjoy this piece and look forward to hearing any thoughts you may have after listening to it, should you have the time or inclination to leave them in the comments.

'Imagination Becomes Reality' A Jazz Fusion Track inspired by how the title reads really. If we can imagine something then it can become real. The important question is, What is imagination and what is reality? Are they both "real"?  An age old question, which can only be answered by an inner search.
The piece is shared with the " very real and very imaginative" playing of Wind Master, Georg Boehme, whom I can't thank enough for being involved with me on this musical journey.
 Wind Instrument List: Bass Clarinet/Baritone Sax/Tenor Sax/Alto Sax/Soprano Sax.
Drums & Parcussion: Superior Drummer 3
Basses: Spectrasonics Trilian 
Keys: Arturia/Native Instruments
Mix: DAW - Steinberg Cubase 12

Georg Boehme joins me on my special rendition of Wayne Shorter's "Footprints".
When I initially invited Georg to join in on this track, I did not expect to get from him the additional sounds of a small sax/brass ensemble. 
But evidently that is what Georg loves to do, and I'm thrilled with the added dimension of sound and music he created here!

FOOTPRINTS (Audric Jankauskas/Georg Boehme-2022)

'Alone In A Crowded Place' is a fusion track inspired by the experience of feeling alone whilst surrounded and in the midst of a large group of people. Composition is shared with Georg Boehme, whilst Georg's wind arrangements are simply mind blowing as is his soloing on this track. So then once again I have had the exceptionally good fortune of sharing another musical journey with this extraordinary player, arranger and composer.
Thank you for listening and please leave your thoughts in the comments should you have the time and/or inclination to do so.
Alan.

What a privilege to have the fabulous Georg Boehme join me on this.
 "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" was first performed in 1932 by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.  Written by Ned Washington and George Bassman.
Do yourself a favor and listen to Georg's music ------> @georg-boehme

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You feat. Georg Boehme

'Accessing The Inner Worlds' is a jazz Fusion piece inspired by a feeling of freedom to search our creative gifts on this musical journey. No contraints on having to stay with the boundaries of a given or perceived "genre". I hope we have achieved this goal and once again for me, a priviledge and pleasure to share the composition and arrangement with my friend Georg Boehme. Georg's wind arrangements and playing on this piece once again illustrating his immense skills as a player, arranger and composer.

Accessing The Inner Worlds

Accessing The Inner Worlds (Hamilton and Boehme)

'Armachairon' is a Jazz Fusion track.........We have no doubt all heard of the expression 'Armageddon', well this is 'Armachairon' and is my personal strange sense of humour. As we probably all spend far too long sitting in/on CHAIRS, and probably all moan at some point about a sore or stiff back, well this is 'Armachairon' My teacher used to say that the only good thing that the back of a chair was useful for was hanging your jacket on. How right he was.
However the track itself is shared by myself and the inimitable Mr Georg Boehme. Georg being responsible for all Wind arrangements and Wind solos.The overall arrangement and all other instruments are by me, including production.
Georg's own page is here https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme
Again my huge thanks goes to Georg for his part in the track and again just honoured to share music with him.

Light The Candle Please

Armachairon (Hamilton & Boehme)

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.

Best described as eclectic, my style is a soothing mix mirroring my personality: mostly mellow with the occasional outburst.  Although I have a background in classical piano I have always loved to create and improvise,sometimes to the chagrin of my teachers.  Now I see how formal studies and improvisation fit together perfectly.  I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all my endeavors.

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul! As an enthusiastic Student of Life and a Passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer,  as far as I'm concerned,  our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting up with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*

WELCOME ALL to my SoundCloud page!

It's always a pleasure to discover through SoundCloud the wealth of wonderfully talented and creative musicians out in the world... all sharing their own distinct and artistic creations.  I'm very happy to be a part of this amazing, creative, and supportive community.

My main instrument is the guitar (mainly electric... sometimes acoustic). I also play on occasion bass and keyboards (strictly for recording on my own compositions).  Most of my music tracks on SC are created, recorded, and produced in my home studio.  Recently, I've been making good use of midi sequencing to ultimately produce tracks that I otherwise would find almost impossible to do by other means. 

Fusion (my mix of jazz, rock, funk, soundtrack, etc.) is the best way to describe most of the music that I produce these days.  I've enjoyed playing and recording many styles/genres of music in the past, and all these past musical experiences influence me today in the way I compose and play.

You will find here on my SC page samplings of new and older works of mine.  The track picture icons more or less help identify what tracks belong to other associated tracks. And I will try to present some extra information for the individual tracks for those that are interested as well.

Thanks for reading... and I hope you enjoy listening!
