Same Whiskey, Different Piano  (Piano Improv)

I recorded first guitar about one year ago and now I decided to add second one. This is rather my own interpretation than cover but maybe someone like it.

Mi SER

Toying around in the studio today, grabbed some equipment and messed about with it. Featuring SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times going in to Rainger FX Snare Trap going into EHX Ripped Speaker, a Novation Xiosynth 25 and Roland JD-08. 


now with video thing: https://youtu.be/QL10w9Y1H_Y


lyrics:

cut through the noise
away with distractions
digital clutter
sideways impairment
of thought and inner vision
no changes were made
to consent that wasn't given
as it wouldn't feel great

a culture of bias
laidback and sullen
to sometimes relax
all of a sudden

no thoughts are given
to continued relapse
till back in the spiral
of stellar collapse

Cracks in the Fabric

This is my original composition inspired by the Japanese landscape, especially the dancing cherry blossoms.
I tried to create a Japanese instrumental atmosphere by using bass, guitar, and recorder.

Miyako no Haru ～都の春

A cover version of the song "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)" composed by Carlos Santana and Tom Coster. (Edit: Mastered with iZotope Ozone on 25 September, 2023.)

You know, for all my life I've played mostly for myself. But then I discovered SoundCloud and then suddenly as of fall 2022 I have been blessed with the possibility to play for you (in addition to listening to you and with you). 

So, here is a modest version of one of the loveliest songs I have ever heard, played here by me with the Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer. I have never had a real DX7 and I wanted to try to play a whole tune using only DX7 sounds the beauty of which surprises me every time (especially the guitar sound is incredible in my opinion). Here all but the drums are to the best of my knowledge as pure DX7 as it can get with Montage. 

The sounds used are E.Piano1, ElecBass, Guitar1, Syn-Lead1, Strings2 (converted wonderfully by Hideo Harada, Kamoda Music). The drums and drum groove are "Emulated CR-78 Kit" (Roland CR-78 drum machine) from the awesome Montage "Vintage Machines" soundbank by Easy Sounds.

Lyrics

Nid wy’n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur y byd na’i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Chorus:
Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na’r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu
Canu’r dydd a chanu’r nos.

Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Chwim adenydd iddo sydd,
Golud calon lân, rinweddol,
Yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.

Chorus

Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad
Esgyn ar adenydd cân,
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi i mi galon lân.

Chorus

English

I  do not ask for a luxurious life,
The world’s gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart,
A truthful heart, a pure heart.

Chorus:
A Pure Heart, that’s full of goodness,
Fairer than the delicate Lily:
Only a pure heart can sing,
Sing the day and sing the night.

Chorus

If I desired worldly riches,
It would swiftly go to seed:
The riches of a virtuous, pure heart,
Will reap eternal profit.

Chorus

Late and morning my wish,
Rising to heaven on the wing of song,
So to my God for the sake of my saviour,
Give to me a pure heart.

Calon Lân (@ rehearsals with Helen Roberts And Sean Evans)

This track is about overthinking and dancing to the beat of your own drum leading to either demise or surprise....
