This is a collaboration with Taylor Brysiewicz.  Upon discovering an adequately functioning upright piano in the basement of the conference room at the Banff Centre (where we were both visiting for a conference on Random Algebraic Geometry), we decided to play some improvisational piano duets which led to this collaborative composition.  Taylor had the foresight to take a quick audio memo on his phone where we recorded a few excerpts alongside some commentary about the chord progression.  After returning home from the conference, Taylor turned our fragments into a completed piano part.  I then added a flute part while trying to maintain the impromptu spirit of the original, namely, by locking in some of the improvised phrases from my early takes (as opposed to indulging in my normal habit of making dozens of rounds of revisions).

The power of imagination is a fascinating and powerful ability of the human mind. It enables us to create worlds in our imagination that transcend physical boundaries. By allowing ourselves to think beyond traditional boundaries and imagine a world without limits, we open the door to unlimited possibilities and actively shape our own destiny.

In music, the term “arabesque” refers to a highly ornamental melody whose free unfolding expresses a slowing of time within the composition. Unlike the straight line, which is the most direct path from A to B, the curving movement of the arabesque creates an effect of circular phrases that conjure perpetual melodies. Debussy referred to "arabesque" as a piece of music with exquisite detail and clear repetitions of ideas and artistic balance. This term is used for various kinds of melodic, contrapuntal, or harmonic ornamentation. Several composers including Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann have used this term as a title for compositions. The term "arabesque" is taken from the Arabic art and architecture which was very ornate. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

No-One But Myself

No-One But Myself - John Buckle Collab

Hey dog it’s time for you to to go out and do your nightly canine business
Cause I’m so tired and I really just want to go to sleep in my bed.
You need to empty out your doggie bladder and intestines
So you don’t leave a surprise on the kitchen floor instead

Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog
Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog

I wish I could train you to use the toilet in the bathroom
It doesn’t seem like that would be so hard
But instead I go outside wearing a rubber glove 
And hold my breath as I clean up your mess in the back yard

I got a doggie bag in my hand and I’m waiting with anticipation.
Cause when you have a dog, that’s your situation

Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog

A dog is like a child that constantly needs your attention
And there are mornings I wake up feeling apprehension
I tread on the kitchen floor carefully because she has a special spot
And  when she feels the urge to do her business that’s where she likes to squat

Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog
Poo Poo Pee Pee Poo Poo Pee Poo Poo Pee good dog

This is a true story about a beautiful lady from the north. A million thanks to Sean for his magical strings and synths and to my friend and band mate Ben who worked very hard on this song.

Beautiful Helen from the north    you brightened up my dark phase like a torch, scared to ask you but I did      and I was happy like a kid.

You accepted my enquiry      a collaboration of you and me,
such an unexpected pleasure,      what a musical treasure!

I' d never heard a song of you before   when I saw your poster on a wooden door, your beautiful face just caught my eyes   -   I got kind of hypnotised.

You are also on SC      like many others and like me,
your music is stunning,      your voice is so enchanting.

Then I saw your video      of a song that' s called Ayo,
such a beauty, such a grace      in your lovely smiling face.

Oh Helen,      tears are wellin'      because of happiness      that' s how it is
I don' t wanna stress you  -  or possess you - it' s just about a song - why should that be wrong?

It took you ten months to drop a line      writing "sorry, I' ve got no time,
there are so many other things      and every minute my mobile rings".


1/2 VERSE   instr.

Beautiful Helen from the north      you brightened up my dark phase like a torch  and whatever you choose to do      I' ll be waiting for you.

Painting: Luncheon of the Boating Party 
Remix of “Afternoon in Paris” by John Lewis with original composition 
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841 to December 3, 1919) was a French painter originally associated with the Impressionist movement. His early works were typically Impressionist snapshots of real life, full of sparkling color and light. By the mid-1880s, however, he had broken with the movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique to portraits and figure paintings, particularly of women. Renoir mastered the ability to convey his immediate visual impressions, and his paintings showed great vitality, emphasizing the pleasures of life despite the financial worries that troubled him. Several of his masterpieces date from this period including Luncheon of the Boating Party.  Renoir had his first attack of rheumatism in 1894, and, as the attacks became more and more frequent, he spent more and more time in southern France, where the climate was better for his health. About 1899 he sought refuge in the small village of Cagnes; in 1907 he settled there permanently, buying the estate of Les Collettes, where he spent the rest of his life. In 1910 he was no longer able to walk. Although his infirmity became more and more constraining, Renoir never ceased to paint; when his fingers were no longer supple, he continued by binding his paintbrush to his hand.  Several months before his death, Renoir was able to go to Paris, where several friends wheeled him for the last time through the Louvre to view the masterpieces that he had venerated throughout his life. Renoir died in Cagnes-sur-Mer on December 3, 1919 at the age of 78.

I want to reiterate Josh's comments in the write up below... this project was the first time I'd met John and after some emails and watching some of his videos on YouTube I'm super impressed with his guitar skills.  He has mastered the LZ catalog from what I can tell. His playing has the vibe and attitude of Jimmy Page and that's not an easy thing to do.   Hope you enjoy his playing as much as I have!

Cast of Characters:

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony in the end vocals, mastering

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– production and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1  –-four string fretless bass, melody and third harmony on the end vocals

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and Josh were just sniffing each other out. They'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and Josh was having trouble with latency in his recording. Out of frustration, he recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, he got his recording issues settled and they continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 

  (Josh) In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Anyway, since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 

Anyway, our hope is that we did the almighty Led Zeppelin honor with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
