A Place To Be

Was happy to participate in another Josh Clary jam!  
This one has an awesome vocal from Steve's Planet and the usual line up brings it here as well with...
Josh on the monster bass
Tez ripping the guitar rhythm and leads
Ken pounding out the beatz and 
JJ making it pretty with those keys. 
I was able to work in the solo in the second half and, with the help of K2 Ken get out a solid production with a nice mix and master.   I believe Tez may have added a bit as well to the post production. 

Basically it was really a true group effort.   Josh is really good with keeping things group focused and having the whole band work within his idea and vision for a song and yet still having the ability to contribute your own unique sounds.

Another fun time with a great group!

Music, poetry, rehearsals with musicians, singing... In the absence of all this, you have to do everything yourself... :)

Poetry in Russian:

Хмурым утром, холодным, туманным,
С корабля я сошел на причал.
Не найдя в море лжи и обмана
Все, что в тщетной надежде искал.

Крики чаек, 
Серых волн прибой.
Разве ждал встретиться с тобой?
Словно чудо, ты явилась вдруг,
И светом все озарила вокруг!

Понял я - путь мой был не напрасен,
И не зря ветер дул в паруса.
Радость жизни вернула мне снова
Глаз твоих изумрудных краса.

И теперь, позабыв все печали,
Каждый вечер я жду, ангел мой,
Нашей встречи с тобой, чтоб сначала,
Жизнь прожить под счастливой звездой!

English translation:

Gloomy morning, cold, foggy...
From the ship I went to the pier,
Not finding in the Sea of Lies
All that I sought in vain.

The screams of seagulls,
Surf of gray waves...
I did not hope to meet someone like you.
Like a miracle, you suddenly appeared
And the light illuminated everything around!

I realized that my path was not for nothing,
And wind blew into the sail not without reason -
The beauty of your emerald eyes
Returned me again the joy of life.

And now, forgetting all the sorrows,
Every evening, my angel,
I wait meeting with you,
To live my life again
Now under a lucky star...

"Emerald Eyes"

Sound advice: Jack


He’s quite useless
Not much of a catch
Like a big smile, toothless
For you he’s no great match

But if the scene could be different 
And if our minds would reset
If we Ignore the raging current
Could it be much of a threat 

Many miles in his worn out shoes
Doing this, doing that. Doing what he’s been told
I think he’s looking for clues
But he ain’t got silver nor gold

Stick
If he point out a spot
Showing something you haven’t got
Kindly offer you a cup of tea
Would you share a short time with me

He’s not much of a threat

Locked-in

Get away

Get Away (feat. Aude Declaf)

Lyrics - Andrey Voznesensky
Music - Nadir Shamuhamedov
(When I sang it for the first time, I was 23 years old and madly in love...)

English Translation:

Play, grasshopper, play,
Oh, my acoustic grasshopper!
And in these delicious musics
Save all meadows of August...

Play the azure of forest
And  the organs of Lielupe pines,
Sing me a song about the happiness
Of an flighty woman,
Because she is all, I live by...

Play, green music fan!
Our romance is orchestrated with sadness...
Love is not a musical toy,
But it’s also scary to break it.

Play, grasshopper, play, don't stop,
After all, your life is even shorter,
Than the lives of other musicians,
Even though they are not eternal too...

Welcome, thank you for visiting my profile!
📍My mother had a stroke and is still receiving inpatient care in a clinic. Please excuse the fact that I am rarely here at the moment. (April 24, 2024). 📍

I'm a former cellist, soprano recorder-, piano-, etc. -player. The violoncello has inspired me since early childhood. 

1977: Several years soprano recorder solo lessons, private teacher.
1981: Some years private cello lessons with her husband, cellist of Alte Oper Frankfurt/Main.
1985 Cello lessons at the conservatory of Akademie fuer Tonkunst Darmstadt, music theory, ear training courses, 2 years piano lessons ibid. 1st and solo cellist in school orchestra, family chamber music and other occasions, bass in school choir, cornet in my father's car, etc. ... 

I particularly like to think back to the first student exchange between Hungary and Germany in 1989, after the borders were opened, in which I took part twice with the school orchestra of my high school in Szeged in southern Hungary shortly before my ‘Abitur’. Later, I travelled there again privately with my cello.

I grew up in Southern Hesse and began composing in Darmstadt, just before my father was diagnosed with a orange-sized glioblastoma, shortly before Christmas in 1989 one day after my sister's birthday. 

His passing at the age of 48, nine months later, shortly before my birthday, came at a time when I was preparing for my Abitur in Music and Biology. For finger tendons health reasons, I had to consider music as a hobby after school instead of starting a professional career as a cellist after Gymnasium. Since 1993, I have lent my piano to a family for life, so to speak, with whom I have no contact today. 

After school and then 15 months of diaconal inpatient geriatric care as an alternative to military service, I briefly studied at the tax office authority, but left it soon to pursue a career as a music retailer, specialized in classical and Orff etc. instruments, sheet music, and sound carriers. After IHK and practical examination in Bonn, I managed a ‘one-man’ music store branch for four years. Then I transitioned into the book trade.

Married since 2003 and nowadays living in Baden Wuerttemberg, I'm currently on disability retirement after a shoulder surgery 2014.

But music still lives in me and I love to compose. You will hear Noteperformer 4 or other software-plugins within Dorico Pro 5 instead of recordings. I use Dorico since September 2023. Prior to this, I used the German Capella program for many years, then also MuseScore for a few months, and, traditional, paper and pencil. 

All of my compositions are available as PDF file sheet music, unless stated otherwise in the description, for noncommercial use upon receiving a personal and confidential request. 

I feel blessed through music, that's why I share it for free. 

The cello works I love the most are the concert pieces for cello and orchestra by Max Bruch, especially Kol Nidrei, which I was taught at the conservatory, and I love the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, who took lessons also with Max Bruch. And, of course, I like many more composers and genres/styles as long as they touch my musician's heart...
