In Search Of Purpose blends delicate solo piano by Francesco Adornetto with the haunting, ethereal voice of Blackbird — a sonic reflection on longing, surrender, and inner stillness.
This piece invites the listener into a meditative space, where questions echo softly and answers float just beyond the horizon.

I ran my vocal through a pitch shifter, so I could self-harmonise ... with some interesting results...

Lyrics:
Did you want it?
Absolutely
It's perfect
So quiet
Nothing to say...

Ooh, that's great
I have a harmonica
And a ukulele in dire need of playing

Ooh, I like that
Distracting myself
Reading about Victorian Era psychology
As my bed time story

Conscious control
Vital sympathy
The lifted veil
Ooh and some poetry

I hope you have the most wonderful day
Begging the Cosmos to tell us our name
I like your story
I like your story
I like your story

A tribute song to the late great Mike Peters of The Alarm who left this world in April 2025, leaving a fantastic legacy behind, one of the good guys.
This song is about my introduction to his music and how it stayed with me shaping my music taste forever.

A cold winter night in December 1983 I witnessed something special that made me stand up and take note for the rest of my life. 
I had brought some really cheap tickets for The Police from a college friend. So off we went  me & my best mate to watch The Police at Birminghams Nec arena. 
Not really giving much thought to who was supporting them. 
We walked in the auditorium to hear the support band just kicking off their set. 
Wow the noise the energy the vocals of the charismatic front man Mike Peters and his band The Alarm .
I was blown away how they rocked this Police audience with their  powerful set  of songs it felt they had took the roof off and welcomed themselves to me.
From that night onwards I fell in love with them and a moment had happened. 
Their single 68 guns was yet to be released as the album was due out very soon called Declaration. 68 guns was an hit and The Alarm had earned their status as one of the best new bands around especially live. 
They went on to support U2, Bob Dylan , Springsteen & Queen gaining a loyal following of fans. While also touring as the headliners on their own shows. 
Mike Peters even fronted Big Country on their comeback tour.
I have lost count how many times I have seen The Alarm and Mike Peters solo shows over the years. 
I watched The Police that night and thought these guys are going through the motions and Sting live never sounded like the record almost changing his vocal style. I’m so glad I was introduced to The Alarm at 16 to show me what live music should be like. 
Mike Peters died on 28th April 2025 at the age of 66 after a 30 year battle with blood cancer. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in 95. Mike was awarded a MBE 2019 for his services to cancer care.
He was a passionate advocate for cancer care, founding the Love Hope Strength Foundation with a fellow patient and using his platform to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. 
Mike Peters also gained the cooperation of a group of young musicians from Chester called the Wayriders to lip-sync the Alarm's material and pass it off as their own. The first release by the fictitious band was promoted as a cover of the Alarm's 1983 hit 68Guns In fact it was the Alarm all along, and instead of a cover, it was a re-released version. The demo enticed executives in music & music production to record an album from the band called In The Poppy Fields which saw its advance release of the single, "45 RPM" entering Britain's top 30 chart. Critical reviews of the band echoed the promoters' official introduction of the band as a tribute to bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash with even more modern acts like Rancid being compared. The truth of the song's origin was not revealed until after the song entered the charts at number 24, a credit originally earned by the Poppy Fields from unsuspecting patrons who had accepted the act as fresh and new.
In a nutshell he duped the music industry showing them as ageist and only new cool music can only come from the young apparently.
The Hairy Hippie was his first ever band formed with his schoolmates to perform at his sister's 21st birthday party. 
So Rip Mr Hairy Hippie is quite fitting really as he had a fine mop of hair through out  his career. Thank you to Mike Fox as always for making ideas a reality with his skill sets and encouraging enthusiasm and incredible patience. 
Big thanks to Ken of K2 & The Three for his Twist style drums that drove the tune. 
Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it.

Final mix of this tribute to all pollinators. Vanessa atalanta (aka Red Admiral) was formerly known as 'The Red Admirable'. This beautiful butterfly is on the ropes and in need of our help. The admirable creature needs long grass and not manicured lawns.

Vanessa atalanta ['Red Admiral' -  final mix]

I sit inside the screen inside the room — inside the hum,
each pixel rehearsing a version of me that flickers —
time-lapse roses opening in fast-forward, then rewinding to a seed.
The laugh track is a swarm of moths beating at the lamp of memory;
credits roll backward, naming my ghosts as executive producers.
Doors opening onto seasons that dissolve like wet chalk.
Somewhere a remote pauses the storm before it speaks my name

A fire burning dark-goth-rock song about how love is now dead & gone but the memory still remains! The forever longing continues to haunt but we can only re-visit the grave, re-visit the once cherished love of all loves...sadly, it's now, all-only-dust!

Old Energy - Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe]
 
Wo Oh Oh Oh
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ow
Old times
When we were alive

Old time energy 
It's comin' over me, me
Just wanna feel you 
In my veins

Babe we are long gone
Eh Ee Yeah
Eh Ee Yeah
Eh Ee Yeah
In the grave, grave

Eh Ee Yeah
Ahn Wo Wo Wo
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Wo Oh How

Well, well, well
We are once alive
Heart to heart

Once alive 
In that old time energy
That keeps me movin' on
Even though we are 
Lost and gone, Yeah
Lost and gone Babe, Oo

Yeah Ee Yeah
Can you hear me callin'
Do you hear me call
Call your name, a name

And the fire burns me
In, in the grave
In the ground
It's only dust

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!

Welcome on my profile.

As a young boy, I learned to play the piano with my grandmother, who was a concert pianist. Thanks to her patience, I was brought closer to music. It was a hard but worthwhile way.

After I ended my school training and started my vocational training, the music got into the background. However, the music has accompanied me throughout my life. With increasing age, the music again got a greater status in my life.

First with the old piano of my grandmother, who had long since died and then with a keyboard, I started making music again.

I don't have a studied musical background and make music as a hobby without really had learned about orchestration. I find myself slowly into the topic and I am happy to have found some listeners.

Inspired by many lovely people, who also make music, I develop myself even at older age and look forward to further listeners.

Therefore, have fun hearing my modest works and thank you for the nice comments.

Tim
