If Only We Could Love With The Passions of Hate. Incidental Music For Don Juan, Poem by Lord Byron Act 6. Scene 9. J. H. O'Callaghan

Frolicking, 
In the dense aromatic Flelds of Summer,
Intoxicated by the air we breathe, 
and the gentle touch of playful jesters  
of catch me if you can, 
Through open fields of golden warmth, 
as we blissfully stumble into a bed of daisies 
drenched in the sweet taste of us.

Fields of Summer

An instrumental, written for a short story as a soundtrack, made with different guitars and some vintage gear.

Being's mystery
Becoming - how?
Vision of beauty
Dark interstices
Will - articulation of being - hierarchy
Redemptive spaces
Creation

The Music of Sound...really!!  It's all grist for the mill.  I visualize Sound/Music as colors, shapes and forms rather than notes in a scale.  I look upon each of these pieces as individual environments and/or sculptures in which to spend some time, looking round, feeling the curves, hanging out, exploring... Each composition is based on different elements, structures and rules or lack thereof.  Consequently, each is unique unto itself.  

Blissfully free of genre, everything is fair game:  beats; melodies; disquiet; washes; pulses; broken clichés and memes; subliminals; words and voices; chaos; sonorities; field recordings; indeterminacy; world music; the holy; the gutter; otherworld music; drones; synths; samples, etc. etc.  etc.  

I enjoy entering into the mitochondria of what makes a sound  that particular sound and then genetically change it into something entirely different than what it was - with just the essence lingering.  I also like to explore the "in-betweens" - spaces between beats, frequencies, timbres, spaces, tones, etc. In large part, simply, I'm curious to explore it all.  Suffice it to say, the wider your aperture the more you will hear and experience.  Et voila!

Oh!  Headphones will likely provide a more fulsome listening experience for many of the pieces.

Some amazing sounds and artists out there!  Respect,
you all!

Jamie Hugh O'Callaghan was born in 1963 in the UK of Welsh/Irish parents and grew up in South Yorkshire and the coastal area around Newcastle. Although he was involved in music from a very early age (New Wave, electronics etc), it wasn't until he turned 20 that he realised he wanted to become a professional musician/composer. So he went back to school to obtain the necessary qualifications. 

He completed his music studies at Kingston University London in 1991.

 

During his studies he became fascinated by music theory and composition and was inspired by composers such as Debussy, Messiaen, Alun Hoddinott, William Alwyn and Arnold Bax but also by the minimalistic and spiritual nature of Hindu music and (film) composers Phil Glass and Bernard Herrmann. As a viola and double bass player he acquired hands on experience of compositional harmony and balance in various orchestral settings. His love of orchestral, minimal and film music has coloured his work ever since and can be found in his contemporary compositions, his projects and collaborations with various artists as well as in the electronic/ambient music with his ensemble 'The colour of time'. With his Celtic origins as a continuous source of inspiration.

Greg Ayers is a Detroit based guitarist and musician. Originally hailing from Virginia, he started out singing and playing tenor saxophone at a young age. In his early teen years he discovered guitar and found a deep passion and love for the instrument. While primarily playing church and rock in his early years, he later settled into more complex jazz sensibilities.

Along with a Bachelor's in Jazz Performance, Ayers’ portfolio of work includes collaborations with artists like: Tony Blackman, Grammy Award winning Michael League (Snarky Puppy), Nikki Glaspie (Beyoncé and The Nth Power), and Alex White (James Carter Organ Trio). Working with such talented musicians has driven Ayers to grow in creativity and skill.

Most recently, Ayers has been working as a side man for several Detroit artists, in addition to actively booking his own groups.

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!

If you have time, check out my first music book called Music Dreams: Six Original Pieces for Solo Piano through Barnes & Noble.  I welcome your feedback.  Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/music-dreams-jennifer-l-jones/1143986955?ean=9798891455641
