hey Artur man, this song is moving and epic. it's definitely better with headphones, too. brilliant guitar work with your eye on the long game. there's wonderful tension built up throughout, too. I keep expecting the monster to jump out. awesome,bro!

the Surfer/Well experiment continues to continued success! great rework of this piece - love the dark tension of it.

Def a Brian Eno vibe, Artur!! You and Well always bring some fantastic Ambient contemplative tunes! This one is nice and chill!! Love it!💎💎💎🙏

Very nice vibe on this. Has that nice drone in there. Really great.  Great collab!

Sounds beautiful , great guitar and sound as always 🔝

Ain't Nobody Like You

Following a recent study of musical chords,I focused on the Phrygian cord structure and its suitability for Eastern music styles.
Hence my first attempt at this unique musical style .
This is very different to my usual selections and compositions.

The issue of world peace is on all of our minds. This is obvious! But how should we fight for this peace? There is war in so many places on our planet! We have a suggestion to make peace in and around ourselves! Do what is good and ... look for peace in yourself! This is probably the best we can do! That's what our song is about. This is a new take of our piece "Forgive us ...", saved for this new year. We hope we will inspire you!
    All the best to you, around the world, wherever you are and wherever you live! May peace of heart be our way and our salvation!!!

Seek peace within yourself  (w/Well)

digging it...

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

SULTRY - Cyclone Mix [Event 49]

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

Ghost Ship

Longing (Remix)

Hello, Everyone! Do you like surf rock? Do you like the soundtrack from „Pulp Fiction” and „Kill Bill”? I try to combine surf rock with other styles of music: with indie, psychedelic, space rock, ambient and folk 🍀

I co-found a duo with my friend from Sweden, Håkan (WELL ) on synthesisers. We have recorded several tracks together, which you can easily find on my profile and on WELL's profile. My friend and I are trying to combine ambient music or space rock with a surf guitar sound in our project. Our collaboration continues 😎 

I am also a member of the project FIFTY ON EARTH together with my friend from Poland, Marcin Jakubowski. You can listen to our tracks  „On the open road to north”,  „Let’s drift away” and „Space Crash” on SoundCloud 😎

Notable are my collaborative recordings with a group of wonderful musicians from the USA and England who perform under the banner of The Eclectic Collective. We were able to join forces on five tracks (compositions of my own making): Surf Dance/ A Time Race/ The One/ See You Soon (in a better world) / Tell Me The Truth 😎 This music goes beyond classic surf rock and into psychedelic territory with the help of incredibly talented and creative musicians such as Josh Clary (bass), Ken Karasek (drums), J.J. Terrell (keyboards) and fantastic guitar wizards: Tez (Llanpsych) and Stephen (TexMex Shaman) 🌞🏄🏼‍♂️

My latest project is a collaboration with my friend from Kansas City - Nathaniel Ehrnman. Together we created a quiet track called "Good Days”. Nathaniel added his guitar parts (slide and baritone) and harmonica to my track. His unique playing style gave the song a folk character 🍀

Enjoy the vintage sound of Fender Jaguar and the classic surf style - in the new version 😎🎸

MANY THANKS for listening, commenting and support 😊
