Waterfall (demo)

Seriosity

I heard this incredible instrumental track and fell in love..  it had this Flamenco quality to it which is hard to master.. but I heard the musical genius in the track and for a year the song called to me.   I asked Stefan if we could add words to his amazing Guitar track, and Durge helped me bring this lovely love story to life..    Thank you Stefan for allowing us to create with you.

Lyrics:
If I only could, I’d stay awake 
And dream with you
Grace the dead of night
‘Till I saw you smile in the sunlight ....

You touched me in a way I’ve never known
Silent rain burns on the undertow..

I concealed my gaze, 
But your smile taunted me as the flamenco played
Gripped around my waist ... 
Felt your hand lift my knee onto your thigh in close embrace ..

I dreamed of you... as my hair tumbled down onto my spine
I fell for you... And I won't be the same 'till I know your heart is mine..

Burning, yearning, Set the world on fire!
Time has lost all meaning in your eyes...

No deambule mas mi amor
(Wander no more my love)
Mis brazos estaban destinados a sostener solo a ti
(My arms were meant to hold only you)
Baila conmigo para siempre
(Dance with me forever)

It was like a dream came to life when I saw you!
And I’ll never let go as long as I draw breath!
‘Cause I dreamed of You…..

Chances

What a privilege to work with Debra Buesking again on Scott Richard's smooth and slightly funky synth track.  Actually, I kind of invited myself to the party when Debra queried me about the keyboard part she had for Scott's original track titled "Ennui".  I became very engaged with her playing to the very chill synth track and could hear some acoustic guitar accents giving a little edge to the piece.  Debra's versatile playing defines the direction of the song front to back, and I'm along for the ride--but what a ride:)  Check out Scott's Cloud at soundcloud.com/the_eyes_of_heisenberg,  and Debra's extraordinary playing @debra_buesking.

Kaleidoscope (Collaboration with Debra Buesking, Scott Richards)

This is the first track of a new instrumental project I've entitled "It's All Greek to Me", as I explore the myths and legends of Ancient Greece. 

I'm using Ancient Greek instruments featured in the 'Ancient Worlds VST Library from Big Fish Audio', underpinned with classical orchestral instruments.  There are some very interesting sounds in it that do seem to evoke a time long ago. 

Since the project is based around some of the myths and legends of Ancient Greece, I wanted a generic opening track that would introduce the listener to some of the sounds and set an overall tone for the project. I really wanted a different feel from a typical 'all guns blazing' modern film score since it isn't accompanying live action but is hopefully a piece in its own right. 

So a piece with the title "A Time of Heroes" seemed like a good idea to kick off the project. :-)

Instrumentation Used

Lyre - it was one of the most important and well-known stringed instruments of Greek Antiquity.

Kithara - this was considered the “professional” instrument of antiquity, and the public highly regarded kithara players.

Kavali - this is a chromatic end-blown flute traditionally played throughout Armenia, the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey. 

Flogera - is a type of flute used in Greek folk music. It is a simple end-blown bamboo flute without a fipple, which is played by directing a narrow air stream against its sharp, open upper end. It typically has seven finger holes.

Water Pumpkins - also called “Water Drums” these instruments can be found in Africa (Mali) and other continents. Water Pumpkins are played with the hands or with soft mallets. They usually come in pairs and have a diameter of 32 - 36 cm. The deeper bowl is filled with water, the smaller one is set on the water. The pitch of the water drums can be tuned by changing the water level inside the floating shell.

Antique Cymbals - are the ancestors of the modern metal cymbals. During the Minoan period, they arrived on the island of Crete from Asia.

Pan Flute - this is an ancient instrument, associated with the demigod Pan, who was the protector of the woods and the shepherds. Variations of the instrument used a number between three and eighteen pipes. The classic Greek Pan Flute used pipes of the same length.

Charlie Watts was one classy drummer. 

Hey let him follow you down
Way underground wind and he's bound
Bound to follow you down
Just a dead beat right off the street
Bound to follow you down
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On stage the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
He ain't tied down to no home town
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless
And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your heart away
And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies
Who's gonna help him to kick it
And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your heart away
And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
