Absolutely flawless production. Diversified and atmospheric with its unique and creative sound design...  :)

A fun little romp with the different instruments each getting a solo break. The handoffs are seamless.

very cool. you play all the instruments yourself?

This is amazing! How many instruments can you play?

Yes you're right about the similarity. This rocks and the piano is going super mad ! I like it

this music makes me happy..love beautiful sounds👍💙

The House Of Cards

SALTY

originally recorded as a solo piano boogie, now with a whack of instruments added to sound like a country rock & blues band. With different instruments taking turns at solos, this one’s a pretty fun romp. 

instruments include piano, bass, rhythm guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, slide dobro, organ, drums (all instruments are electronic samples, except me playing piano live, and some bits on drums, organ, and harmonica)

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

An Auspicious Day

V1:

Our good Queen Elizabeth

Bereft of mother while so young

Has weathered slingshots of outrageous fortune:

Wise has she become

She kept her wits, maintained her cool

Let no one play her for a fool

Over us has she proved fit to rule

V2:

Her coronation day they say

Was calculated by John Dee

Astronomer, astrologer

With the insight to foresee

With the planets right-aligned

Fortuitous would be the signs

To crown our sparkling jewel in her prime

*****Break*****

V3:

'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown':

So goes the famous quote

Fraught is rule, so full of danger:

Readily is that head smote

Discretion our Queen Bess learned fast:

Made sacrifices to the last:

All dreams of marriage consigned to the past

V4:

And auspicious was that

January 1559:

Gloriana cheered by London crowds

So dignified her might

And her regal status, power:

Woman of the hour

Her 'Golden Age' long reign saw England flower

An Auspicious day

Original score inspired by the Andrew Michael Hurley novel Starve Acre

Did you ever blow a dandelion clock

劣等生。　

見えないものに　怯えてる日々に
どこへ向かい歩けばいいと言うの
恐れはいつも　ここに在って
立ち向かう事も　出来やしないって

揺れる木々　喧騒です
また明日　ほら嘘つき

時は流れて　今も変わらず
嘘に嘘重ねる日々で
夢を歌えど　夢に敗れて
涙流す日々と劣等生

見えないものに怯えてる　僕は
どこへ向かい歩けば良いと言うの
誰かの影に　隠れては　いつも
笑ってただ　涙をのんで　

揺れる心　劣等感
明日なら　ほら嘘つき

時は流れて　今も変わらず
嘘に嘘重ねる日々で
夢を歌えど　夢に敗れて
涙流す　日々と劣等生

心 虚空　喧騒です
喧騒に落ちた　一点です
いつも　心喧騒です
明日なら　言えるかな

時は流れて　今も変わらず
嘘を塗り続ける現状です
夢を歌えど　夢は遥かに
涙　溺れそうな　現状です

時は流れる　明日も変わらず
僕を　乗せて走り続けるよ
いつかもし　いつか僕が
変われる時が来たら 笑って
