Heavy Heart (ft. Stochastos)

STORM EXODUS

From the album, Long Ways Conversations.

Evaporate
Dissipate
Melt away

Evaporate
Dissipate
Melt away

It’s all I ask
It’s all I have to say
It’s all I ask
It’s all I have to say

It’s harder to hold onto hate
Than let it go
It’s harder to keep that alive
Than it is to let love flow
Anyone is more of light than dark
To be alive
Anyone is more to help than hurt
Anyone anyone

I thought of storm clouds
And salt air off the ocean
Thought of a single drop of blood
In a full bath tub
Couldn’t it be like that
And disappear
Couldn’t it be like that
And disappear

This track was inspired by life in the mountains, the Alps, the snow, the high peaks, the simple life...

Call it off

Ever since I saw an incredible Canadian band (Recipe From a Small Planet) do a live Reggae jam and seamlessly slide into a cover of 'Watching The Detectives', I wanted to try something similar. In this case, I did the opposite, starting with the cover, and adding a kinda reggae/dub section at the end, which starts at 3:15. 

For the dub portion, I enlisted the help of one of the best talents I know - @Llanpsych (Tez) - to add his magic and 'dubbify' the whole instrumental section at the end. I'm singing and playing all the instruments here using my keyboard, and some echo effects, and Tez did the rest to produce that authentic dub atmosphere into the mix. I recommend listening to that part at least with headphones, and hope you enjoy the result! Thanks so much Tez, I couldn't have done this without your mad skillz!

Sharp ears may notice the following 2 details: 

  -  In the last few seconds, I threw in the theme from 'The Godfather', played on melodica (see credit below). 

  -  at 0:39, you can faintly hear my dog barking in the background. I decided to keep it in, since she barked at the line, "red dogs under illegal legs", which I thought was funny timing!  :)

INSTRUMENTS:
bass, drums, rhythm & lead guitar, organ, piano, electric piano, melodica, steel pan drums, ukulele, synth horns, voice

Watching the Dubtectives (cover + dub mix with Llanpsych)

Hello again Listeners,

 Here's another of our recent ambient/contemporary classical improvs. 
I have several weeks of  recordings i'm going though and just wish to keep sharing the fruits of our improvisations with you.

 Far from virtuosity, we seem to discover the 'Feels' and 'Flows' that 
 organically emerge from our musical conversations.
 
 And btw... this is an Homage to All who have found their way.

                                                   -------
Anomon is on his Kawai ES7 Stage Piano, and illio is on his kinda Gypsy Classical Guitar.

May you enJOY even half as much as we did!  :-D

Finding a Way

I don't know what this is but I found a Karen pack and had to use it somehow.
