Thank you Tom, please ping it to me in a message. I will listen for sure!

Very nice Tom. A sweet beat and marching rhythm. It almost has a late 50's swing to it.

There seem to be a large collection of songs entitled, Foolish girl. None of them seem to line up with this in terms of lyrics, etc. The backing for this track has a kind of oompah quality, and the vocal goes along with that mostly, with a series of vocal updrafts. I suppose I'll discover this is a remix of one your own songs. Serve me right. If I had to summarise, the word, raucous, comes to mind. A deliberately out-there and over-the-top song.

"Foolish Girl"   (Jan 2023 remix)

Cosmic Danse – The Planetary Shuffle
February 2023
Duration: 3:00
Listen to the Cosmic Danse Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/comic-danse
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia https://soundcloud.com/john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the planetary panning/gliss/rotation tool that was used to compose this piece.

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.  The four inner system planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars—are terrestrial planets, being composed primarily of rock and metal. The four giant planets of the outer system are substantially larger and more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the next two, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of volatile substances.  The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus, though all except Mercury are very nearly circular. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane, called the ecliptic and defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit.  The orbits of the planets, based on Earth's 1 year orbit, are as follows: Mercury .24 years, Venus .61, Earth 1.00, Mars 1.88, Jupiter 11.86, Saturn 29.46, Uranus 84.01, Neptune 164.80, Pluto 248.80.  They all orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise looking down from above the Sun’s north pole; all but Venus, Uranus and Pluto also rotate in that same sense. 
For alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, trumpet, metallophone, piano, bass, virtual instruments and percussion.

Cosmic Danse - The Planetary Shuffle

AIMER TROP ÇA COÛTE CHER
LE DERNIER MÉTRO LA CHAIR DE MA CHAIR
TROP D’AMOUR ÇA REND SOURD
ET FOU À LIER SUR LE PALIER
EN CHIEN DE FUSIL ENROULÉ

AIMER TROP C’EST L’ENFER
ON Y LAISSE LA PEAU ON Y PERD SES REPÈRES
TROP D’AMOUR ÇA REND LOURD
TAPI LA NUIT SOUS LE BALCON
PLEURANT SOUS LA PLUIE COMME UN CON

TU PASSES D’HEUREUX À MALHEUREUX                      
PUIS LE CIEL CHANGE ET VIRE SOUDAIN DU NOIR AU BLEU 

AIMER TROP C’EST TROP CHER
ON Y LAISSE DES PLUMES ET DES LAMBEAUX DE CHAIR
TROP D’AMOUR TUE L’AMOUR
ET ON EN OUBLIE D’OUBLIER
SON VIEUX CHIEN DE FUSIL ROUILLÉ 

ELLE FAIT TA PLUIE E T TON BEAU TEMPS
QUAND ELLE S’EN VA TOUT FOUT LE CAMP
 
AIMER TROP ÇA REND FOU

AIMER TROP (Lyrics)

Each winter here in the UK, small birds enact one of natures great spectacles. Each evening flocks ranging from a few hundred to over 100,000 individual Starlings form up into a single flowing entity swirling above their communal roosting sites. 
Why they do this is not fully understood, with theories ranging from a strategy to distract predators, to a grand display designed to draw more birds to the flock for the purpose of maximising the body heat being generated by the mass of the flock in the roost. 
Whatever the purpose of this behaviour it creates a unique and magical aerial display of great beauty.

The track began with the repeating mallet sequence, then the strings and lastly the piano. I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to improvising around basic chord progressions at the moment and this is another product of this approach. I'm  resisting the temptation to quantize or mess around with the midi in post, so it's all as played and of the moment. 

Thanks for listening, it's really appreciated. 

Murmuration

Always thrilled to work with my good friend and awesome composer & synthmeister, John Buckle (@john-buckle-166792889) 
This is Chapter 3 of our Elvenland saga. Hope you enjoy :)

It begins as Chapter 2 ended, with the the horn of Gildor fading out as the Elven leader sadly fails in his attempt to save Raewyn from capture. She laments the ill-fated rescue attempt, but then, in the distance, she hears familiar sounds - could Gildor's Ancient Message Ritual herald her freedom?

Elvenland #3 - Ancient Messages

Elvenland #3 - Ancient Messages (feat. John Buckle)

Innocent Man

A collaboration between :
Shane Beck, The Last American Poet (Words)
progettosonoro (Music)

A forlorn tale of the poet who buried his heart in hollow ground
Coping with the smirking shadows without a whisper or hardly a sound
Let me hide away the trauma of this loveless soul without a single chance
The Loneliness Of One & the night we held each other during that slow dance

Yes I too deal with things & forever disguise the burning tears that sting
Shove aside the hurtful memories knowing what the light refuses to bring
They often say the sad pain will go away & eventually subside
Hear it from me & never forget, it is untrue & they have lied
The Loneliness Of One, the poet who still walks until he bleeds
Accused of waiting on truest love & so called selfish needs

Shane Beck & progettosonoro - The Loneliness Of One

*** RISE ***

Can you see the dawn arising
Can you see the light inside your mind
Can you feel it ?
Love will never die !

Be majestic like a phoenix 
You can be as golden as the sun
You can reach it
Nothing ever really dies !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

The universe it has no corners
There's no boundary 
You are not alone 
Are there edges to the oceans' waves ?

So the grass it may be greener
And the rivers may run clearer
So - How'd you know -
If you can't look to the other side ?

RISE
Shine like the sun
Wishes and dreams
And watching them all come true 
You'll see
That finding your way
Is all that it takes 
If you can wait for them to be...

RISE MAJESTIC 
RISE PHOENIX
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...
