"Oh Ho" (from "Hippies Must Die", Coming Soon!).

He dreamed of writing the great American novel
But when he tried to write his wheels just spun and spun
So he started doing book reviews to pay the bills
He became the literary equivalent of Atilla the Hun
Brutally criticizing, trying to find things to hate
He became a critic because his work was second rate
It takes years of work to write hundreds of pages
Each author thinks they’ve written a book for the ages
He skims though each manuscript in less than ten minutes
Reviews don’t pay that much so he has to set time limits
He pushed himself to the limit, day after day
100 pages per hour going down motorway
Words, words, words, words, words, words
Words rebel – stretch and widen
they hide between the lines
they crowd, they crowd, they become too vague
darken him, irritate him, push him - out of the margin,
The words all swirl together and he mutters to himself
He sits at his desk for hours. It’s not good for his health
He says if you don’t like my reviews, you can tell me to go to hell
To hell, to hell, you can tell me to go to hell
Sometimes if a good book made him jealous and it got under his skin
He’d write a bad review, try to send it to the discount bin
And every day his reviews grew more and more over the top
Like a shark in bloody water, he was unable to stop
And then one day he was overrun by a train of syllables going counterclockwise
And question marks appeared as the words blurred before his eyes
The words on the page now felt empty
He’d expended all his rage
The meaning of words was inverted
He was trapped in a hopeless cage
He viciously pointed out the flaws
Of all his contemporary peers
He burned his bridges and when he fell
his victims erupted in cheers
Words, words, words, words, words, words
Words rebel – stretch and widen
He said if you don’t like my reviews, 
you can tell me to go to hell
Now he works as a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman and that’s not going well
To hell, to hell, he told them to go to hell
He saw the trainwreck coming but he ignored the warning bell

The Ballad Of The (former) Literary Critic [lyrical collaboration with Michele Ansani]

Dear listeners,
I am delighted to present my new Single “Secret Rendezvous." This song continues to narrate the romantic adventure of the two protagonists. As mature individuals, they contemplate their love to ensure it is not just a fleeting passion and decide to spend their time in the secluded spots of the French Riviera.

The story behind the song:

Whether it's the quiet, sandy beaches where the waves kiss the shore under the moonlight, the old quarter with ancient street lamps and cobblestones, the secluded park with centuries-old trees, or the renowned Café de Paris, each verse builds a refuge of love around them.

The first verses transport you to Plage de l'Escalet, where soft sand and gentle waves create the perfect setting for secret rendezvous under the silver moonlight. Then, we stroll through Le Suquet, a neighborhood full of history and charm, where their love grows like grains of sand. In Parc du Mont Boron, among the ancient trees and tranquil shadows, we find a place of refuge and intimacy. Finally, we arrive at Café de Paris, an oasis of elegance and refinement, where stolen moments of love blossom under sparkling chandeliers.

Secret Rendezvous

Axel sent me a tune he had and said " can you do anything with this ? " So I contacted Charlotte and the 3 of us created this super alternative Country song , we do hope you like it !

Another blank canvas section for the longer song I'm working on.

Insane With Pain (demo)

Agony is a song that reflects the experience of living in the metropolis of São Paulo, Brazil. An immense city that offers opportunities while taking away peace. A city that is both chaotic and beautiful at the same time.

Agony

I spend the day, the dark afternoon, inside myself;
My life so secure, filled with my fears;
My apartment, my Garden of April;
My gray day, the girl who left.
I wander every day, with no destination or place;
The Earth is my fate, the pool comes from the sea;
And this strange world;
And this crazy life;
I’m not part of that herd, no!
I’m not just anyone.
Life has left me.
Life has left me, alone.
Life has left me, just dust. My dear.
I spend the day, the dark afternoon, in this civil chaos;
Breathing the filthy air of the city that birthed me;
Waiting for something new to happen and distort;
This so-called reality that surrounds me and makes me fall;
In the depths of society, miserably all the same;
Different from the vultures that inhabit the central highlands;
From all the children of this beloved homeland, gentle mother;
I spend the day, the dark afternoon, in this civil chaos.

Agonia é uma canção decantada da vivência na metrópole de São Paulo, Brasil. Uma cidade imensa, que dá oportunidade e tira a paz. Uma cidade caótica e linda, ao mesmo tempo.

Agonia

Passo o dia, a tarde escura, dentro de mim mesmo;
Minha vida tão segura, dentro em meus medos;
Meu apartamento, meu Jardim de Abril;
Meu dia cinzento, moça que partiu 
Vago todo dia, sem destino ou lugar;
A Terra é minha sina, a piscina vem do mar;
E esse mundo estranho;
E essa vida louca;
Não sou desse rebanho, não!
Não sou gente pouca.
A vida me deixou.
A vida me deixou, só.
A vida me deixou, só o pó. Meu bem.
Passo o dia, a tarde escura, nesse caos civil;
Respirando o ar imundo da cidade, que me pariu;
Esperando algo novo acontecer e distorcer;
Essa tal realidade que me envolve e que me faz descer;
Nos confins da sociedade, miseravelmente toda igual;
Diferente dos abutres que habitam o planalto central;
De todos filhos dessa Pátria Amada, mãe gentil;
Passo o dia a tarde escura nesse caos civil.

Agony (Agonia)

Traveler (The long trek)

祈り_ A Little Prayer（Piano Hibiki）

Let yourSelf go...
I promise I will be good to you, and to your Ears. 😊

Let your Consciousness Resonate with this Tone Poem,
for if it suggests anything, it's that 'There is Peace at Center, and Center is Everywhere'.  It's just a matter of becoming attuned with it. 

What you hear first in this composition represents the Cosmic Background Radiation even now remaining from what we understand as the moment of Creation, Big Bang.  It is present throughout the piece.
(This Vibrational Fingerprint of what occurred at the beginning and whose  'radiant energy' continue to resonate throughout this entire Universe and is still present today, was theorized years ago and then revealed by  measurements by NASA's C.O.B.E. satellite.  i.e  C.O.(smic) B.(ackground) E.(xplorer)>     

Yes... i know, it all sounds kinda 'New Agey' 😉 and... perhaps these liner notes could be so construed. But in this case, this music was born out of months of contemplation of a Huge life-manifested Zen Koan i came up against!  And what an opportunity to Compose! 😊

The Koan was " What is the Sound of Manifestation?  What is the SOUND of the Process of The Stuff of Life - Arising ? As it dances, and sparks New manifestations of substance throughout the universe - and then dissolves back into 'the vacuum' out of which it arose.

 What could 'that' sound like? 
Hmmmm. Impossible, yet tantalising.

No matter .. many have found that the peace they felt in resonating with whatever IT ultimately IS, is More than Enough to keep them totally interested. ;)

If you find this composition relaxing and easy to flow with ...  
then i am more than happy.  
                                               
                                               Peace...

                           And by all means..... inJoy.   :-D

Candles & Roses   Remix

I worked In a family business for 30 years. i decided to leave because there was something missing in my life. I think i have found it! . The pure joy it brings!!! Music! I have worked with some great artists here and that has helped me so much as i learned to step out of the box!  In the end if i can say i shared what i love then i am satisfied!! It just means so much to me to see you guys sharing your soul! In the end we are all successful!!!!!

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life and a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer,  as far as I'm concerned,  our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting up with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*
