Genre breaking... part world, part classical and part folk. Interesting.

Lyrics
Are you a fixed star 
of unknown location?
Strumming a particle guitar
Celestial creation.

Are you the beat of a solar storm
Travelling Earthbound
Of elemental form
Worshipping sundog.


To the sound of the whistling sun

Strumming a particle guitar

Are you a shooting star
in an absent moon sky
Dancing past
Jupiter and Mars
Through a billion and one stars?



Steve Pumphrey's inventiveness, musicality and virtuosic guitar playing have infused Particle Guitar with celestial splendour.

"So Easy" Electronic music with guitar and vocals

so easy

Relaxing slow funky (slunky ;-)) song with duets of trombone with sax, guitar and trumpet.

All Those Colors, in my mind. Fills my heart, when life's not kind. 

All Those Colors

ICE CORAL..

Intermezzo n°1 - Aube mystique

A little old school jazz — piano, keyboard, guitar, bass, and drums, but with an electronic drum kit — all of which was produced using MIDI keyboard, plug-ins, and DAW. Originally created in GarageBand in 2011, but updated this week.

COVER ART that features a grand piano was inspired by J.J. Terrell and Neno J. who alerted me about the 10th anniversary of Piano Day, March 29, 2025. Check out their Piano Day releases:

A personal musical note: The beat in the outro is very reminiscent of the “cool beat” that my student marching band's rhythm section played between songs during practice and parades.

In my dreams there's chili pasta

Lap steel happy hour
the Whirlwind has me whole

In My Dreams

Helen and I agreed that, once again, it is music that gives us hope and joy in the tumult of our times. And who expressed this feeling better than Franz Schubert in his song "An die Musik" (To Music). Composed in March 1817 for solo voice and piano, the lyrics were taken from a poem written by Schubert's friend Franz von Schober.

lyrics

Du holde Kunst, in wieviel grauen Stunden,
Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt,
Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb' entzunden,
Hast mich in eine bessre Welt entrückt,
In eine bessre Welt entrückt!

Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf' entflossen,
Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir,
Den Himmel bessrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir!

English

O blessed art, how often in dark hours,
When the savage ring of life tightens round me,
Have you kindled warm love in my heart,
Have transported me to a better world!
Transported to a better world

Often a sigh has escaped from your harp,
A sweet, sacred harmony of yours
Has opened up the heavens to better times for me,
O blessed art, I thank you for that!
O blessed art, I thank you!

An die Musik (Franz Schubert - with Helen Roberts)

Hi ! Long time no see (almost a year) but I've been there listening to your fabulous tracks. As I'm concern if I been that much quiet since so many times the reason is simple : no inspiration at all, almost a year as I said without anything to share, arrange or give to all of you.

But still so many of of you have kept listening / commenting and sharing my tracks ; new people came in and I still can't believe all the love I have any day, any time from this community.

Less talk, more music, been working on this one since three month now but, is forcing himself to compose is better than wait for the right time to make it ? I let you judge.

Anyway, there is the fourth piece of the Green Side Chromatic EP ; one left for it. More to come soon I hope.

Love, 

Rahab.

The Bard, The Witch And The Moon

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).
