INSUFLA

BANDCAMP

Insufla (VIDEO on description)

This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

J'ai l'immense joie de vous partager ma chanson "Mais je t'aime quand même". C'est une des toutes premières chansons que j'ai écrit il y a presque 20 ans.
Je n'aurai pas pensé à cette époque que je finirai par le publier. C'est l'histoire de 2 amoureux qui veulent être ensemble mais qui n'en ont pas le droit, un amour impossible. 

I have the immense joy of sharing with you my song “But I love you anyway”. It's one of the very first songs I wrote almost 20 years ago. I wouldn't have thought at that time that I would end up publishing it. It's the story of 2 lovers who want to be together but who don't have the right to do so, an impossible love.

Mais je t'aime quand même

Here's another jam that takes inspiration from the guitar work of Richie Kotzen on Poison's Bodytalk. 
This time I asked my good friend and great keyboardist, the one and only Jamie Rhind to join along with me! What can I say, he tears it up with me on this one!

Jamie Rhind: All Main Keyboards and Synths
Louis Taverna: All Guitars, Bass, Additional Keyboards, Organs, and Drum Programming
Here's Jamie's soundcloud: @jamie-rhind
Check out his incredibly extensive catalog of great music!

JIM ANDERS _ Jugend

Recent events in the wider world and to a lesser extent in my personal life leave me somewhat apprehensive and this,intentionally, is reflected in this composition. In particular the intermittent plucked  bass mimics a heart beat,with some ectopics and tachycardia reflecting the physical effects of anxiety on the body.

An uplifting piece with such encouragement as we travel through this life.

Journey to the New World

Partially inspired by „Besnilo” (Rabies), a novel by Borislav Pekić. „Partially inspired” means that I had been reading this novel at the time I started noodlin' with this. Also, it may probably refer to my own rabidness which... don't know what stage I'm in... haven't started to bite people or disgust water yet... yet.

Stage 1 - Incubation

A fool.

When Hope Floats Beyond Hell

Impending Danger At Sea

Forces of Fate

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). I enjoy insect photography, with a particular interest in hoverflies..
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
