The intro made me imagine walking through a shimmery curtain. :)

Imaginative soundscape, Graham. I enjoyed the journey.

Great plot of composition! Love these smooth transitions!

Cool electronic vibe with good sound choices and lively arrangement

Symphony for Chamber Orchestra - 1st Movt: Allegretto

Most of my songs come to me just before I fall asleep or just after I wake up. My brain's in a place of peace, quiet and openness at that time, I guess

Dream Come True


In a dream
she came to me
Claimed my heart
so easily

Sent me reeling
Barely breathing
Bedazzled me

Swept me up
in loving arms
with a dash of
magic charms

Helpless feeling
with no ceiling
God's majesty

I can't find
the words to say
to explain
that fateful day

The thunder rolled
All doubts did fold
Might seem a bit cliche

I was taken for a ride
I got to glimpse
the other side

A place of wonder
Unencumbered

It's true

Love came that day

You have made me happy Baby
Everything you freely gave me

Opened up my eyes
What a sweet surprise
You've blown me away

I will start this very day
to show you
in every way

All my love for you
For my whole life through

You're my dream come true

I love you!

You're the one. I always knew
I love everything you do

With you time just flies
Never cloudy skies

You're my dream come true

I am yours from this day on
We have found a magic bond

that no one here can take
A bond that will not break

You're my dream come true

You and I we got it all
River wide and mountain tall

We will find our way
and cherish every day

You're my dream come true

 All I know is
you have made me happy Baby
Everything you freely gave me

opened up my eyes
What a sweet surprise

You're my dream come true

I love you!

Dream Come True

I'm not sure which is more maddening these days — the situation in Ukraine or the situation in America. Hell, the middle east is also crap. I'm just mad at it all.

THE WORLD IS GOING CRAZY
The world is going crazy
The people lost their faith
They all got dumb and lazy
The age of click and bait

Wait for the sun
To dance up in the sky
The flightless birds
Will teach you how to fly

And I don’t need no guidance
To know which way to go
I jump into abundance
Of rivers in their flow

Wait for the sun
To dance up in the sky
The flightless birds
Will teach you how to fly

This life is never ending
You have to free your mind
No reason for pretending
That you’ve been deaf and blind

Wait for the sun
To dance up in the sky
The flightless birds
Will teach you how to fly

The World Is Going Crazy

J'ai remixé ce titre sortie il y a 6 ans que je n'ai jamais publié sur Soundcloud. Il est inspiré de l'univers mythique de l'écrivain HP Lovecraft que tous les fans de fantastique doive connaître.
Dans cette mythologie, les Chiens de Tindalos, lorsqu'ils chassent, rejoignent notre univers en passant par les coins des pièces. Faites de beaux rêves :)

----
Often in the night,
Alone in the dark,
I hear a bark
But there's nothing in sight

In the angles of time
I know they hide,
On another side,
Away from our mind

If you find this don't try to understand

If you ever meet
The Hounds of Tindalos
Insanity you may come across...
(Enough !)

I plastered the corners 
I masked the edges
Will these strategies
Stop the great elders ?
If you finally find this testimony,
Never ever try to learn more about me

In this quest for knowledge and truth, 
I tried to see through space and time until I get caught !
Theses creatures from ancient times do not allow such breach in space...
Since then they follow my trace

(Enough !)

If you ever meet
The Hounds of Tindalos
Insanity you may come across...
(Enough !)
-----
(Hommage à HP Lovecraft)
Souvent dans la nuit,
Seul dans l'obscurité,
J'entends un aboiement
Mais il n'y a rien en vue

Dans les angles du temps
Je sais qu'ils se cachent,
Sur une autre plan,
Loin de notre esprit

Si vous trouvez ceci, n'essayez pas de comprendre

Si jamais vous rencontrez
Les chiens de Tindalos
Vous risquez de tomber sur la folie...
(Assez !)

J'ai plâtré les coins 
J'ai masqué les bords
Ces stratégies
Arrêteront-elles les grands anciens ?
Si vous trouvez finalement ce témoignage,
N'essayez jamais d'en savoir plus sur moi

Dans cette quête de la connaissance et de la vérité, 
J'ai essayé de voir à travers l'espace et le temps jusqu'à ce que je me fasse attraper !
Ces créatures des temps anciens ne permettent pas une telle percée dans l'espace...
Depuis, elles suivent ma trace

(Assez !)

Si jamais vous rencontrez 
Les chiens de Tindalos
Vous risquez de tomber sur la folie...
(Assez !)

The Hounds of Tindalos

method: basic sequence on a minilogue xd, adornments via vc 340, further adornments created by sounds in front of microphones, incl my voice, an interview sample and a field recording taken at a supermarket parking lot .... and then Jeff picked up his guitar ....
narration: there are literature tourists following the traces of the likes of Shakespeare and Kafka. some places consider those travellers in two worlds a good source of income. There is also a different kind of tourism on the magic-realistic tracks of the likes of Borges ;-)

poem / copyright jo richter:

sleeping on rocks out in the desert
imagine time and no way to clock it
events settle as smell on the tongue of a lizard
I took hidden notes inside of my pocket

doubling-up life in another attention
sit in the wind and learn not to block it
jenga sticks and the law of cohesion
I took hidden notes inside of my pocket

field notes

field notes - the stonerjazz version: re-release

Cool Retro Backing Track provided by Studio Jam Tracks ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KSG2zITNN4

Also: this lyric was inspired by the following link.  To learn more about the stoic woman go to==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDEcNSfhRdM&t=1221s
SHE
She doesn’t crave approval
She has no need of walls
Her gates are only open to
Those of likeness she calls
No longer wearing a mask
To indulge society
That’s the kind of woman
One day I long to be

CHORUS
She is unshakable
She is unbreakable
A menace to what this world calls femininity
She’s a self-contained light
A woman in her own right
Aligned with the universe in perpetuity

Her soul is non-negotiable 
She settles for no man
She doesn’t need permission
To take a moral stand
She walks through the fire
Of stoic pedigree
That’s the kind of woman
No man controls readily

CHORUS
She is unshakable
She is unbreakable
A menace to what this world calls femininity
She’s a self-contained light
A woman in her own right
Aligned with the universe in perpetuity, perpetuity

[Music w/ clapping]

She doesn’t want the pedestal  
She wants the partnership
Not looking to forge a man
Wants a man who’s got a grip
No longer bleeding inside
In her solitude she is free
Yeah, that’s the kind of woman
One day I vow to be

She is unshakable
She is unbreakable
A menace to what this world calls femininity
She’s a self-contained light
A woman in her own right
Aligned with the universe in perpetuity

BRIDGE
So, when you see her walking alone
You need not feel pity
She’s no longer waiting to be chosen
She owns the city –
She is dangerous
She no longer plays the game
She is dangerous
She’ll never be the same

She is unshakable
She is unbreakable
A menace to what this world calls femininity
She’s a self-contained light
A woman in her own right
Aligned with the universe in perpetuity, perpetuity, yeah
