What is it that makes you feel relaxed? I it some special place? Or the company of some valued person or a whole group? Or maybe the opposite, being alone? Maybe it's a specific colour that does the trick. If not a colour, maybe it's a sound or music that will make you lay back and simply relish being. Not sure, which of those things or a combination of several those things does it for me. But I know that great ambient tunes help a lot. But, ok, it's not the quietest selection I have for you tonight. Still, enjoy the show with tracks by Cousin Silas & Daniel Prendiville (No Title As Such...), Francisco Sonur (Then the light comes all over the land), Emilian Gatsov (Mall Womb), State Azure (Ephemeral Spirit), Daniel Coppens (The Hidden Abundance of Purpose), Ivan Black (The Gallery), Jarguna and Nicola Serena (Amongst Jungles), Wilfried Hanrath (9 years of naviar haiku), Steve Roach (Rest of Life).

Alexander Grenville - 'Snowfall' (excerpt)

I saw an old friend who's not long for this world
They're just doing their thing
I thought, "Why aren't you out there living it up?"
That's backwards I know, the question is why am I not doing
something I would continue to do if I was diagnosed like you.

Everybody tries, Everybody tries, Everybody dies
But not everybody really lives 
really lives

I saw an old friend who's not long for this world
They're just doing their thing
I thought, "Why aren't you out there living it up?"
That's backwards I know, the question is why am I not doing
something I would continue to do if I was diagnosed like you.

Everybody tries, Everybody tries, Everybody dies
But not everybody really lives 
really lives, really lives

Life is about love, I'll give love if I can, I'll share love if I can
this beautiful day may be my last
I'm right here, right now. 
I will never be here in this moment again.

Life is about love, I'll give love if I can, I'll share love if I can
this beautiful day may be my last
I'm right here, right now. 
I will never be here in this moment again.

Life is to be lived, give love if you can, share love if you can 
this beautiful day may be your last
you are right here, right now. 
You will never be here in this moment again.

Life is to be lived, give love if you can, share love if you can 
this beautiful day may be your last
we are right here, right now. 
We will never be here in this moment again.

Lyrics and Music (c) Darren Baxter

Everybody Tries

This cue is a cyclical piece that can be looped for longer scenes, especially when a character is contemplating and wrestling with ideas in their mind

Adagio

zoom20240219

I believe we are born into this world with an innate wisdom that the way of the world systematically tries to subvert. Time and again, man's knowledge and greed exceeds his wisdom with tragic consequences. If only we could easily push the reset button and unlearn all that does not spiritually serve us individually and collectively. This song is about that.

A poignant take on a classic tune. Here, I wrote this whole things bout it: https://medium.com/@joeathon/life-goes-on-a-conversation-with-an-old-friend-13ccb51ea73d

Life Goes On by Jimmy Nace

Pavement Piano

Piano, Harp, Guitar, and chamber orchestra, with solo violin, create a delicate and subtle natural atmosphere. Tempo remains  slow throughout, with layered diatonic textures, and very dense harmonies, before returning to a quiet, introspective close with piano making a late entrance to complete the finale.

I write and record songs in different genres.  

I have already had my songs played on BBC Radio 1 and 2 and loads of plays on BBC Introducing.

My aim is to have my songs published by reputable companies and have them performed by successful artists Worldwide.

Composing 50 years.  You will find every genre here.

A note about AI assist:

Regarding all my instrumentals, I composed the original works and possess the original manuscripts.  

My compositions are the source material, and for AI assist where used, I create the prompts and style instructions (which is time consuming and require hours of trial and error) at suno.com to produce the final version of the works which I feel are best. What you hear finally is at times the best of perhaps dozens of variations after much work is put in to produce the final outcome.  I try to find the right balance between what I composed originally, and what I envision is perhaps a better result with the assistance of AI.  I also aim for a realistic reproduction should live performance ever be a consideration.

For songs with Lyrics, I am the lyricist in every case, and the music is built from AI where I provide specific instructions as to style, genre, tone, key, and so forth. 

Some tracks are exceptions to the above descriptive process, and when this occurs that track itself will include how the track was developed in its description.

"Emotionally so intense... sucks you right in" - UK acoustic singer/songwriter Darren Baxter was influenced by Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke/Radiohead, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, Eddie Vedder and Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes.

Unplugged, stripped-back, raw, authentic, vulnerable and evocative, Darren delves into themes of anxiety, sorrow and mortality with unnerving honesty. 

Darren embraces the philosophy of Jeff Buckley: "be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate."
