This is a really enjoyable and calm listen

nice guitar, well played and loving melodies and harmony!

Absolutely beautiful!! Great job!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🤩

A world of wonderful guitar sounds and DUO phrases.

This started off as a solo finger-picking guitar tune but I ended up improvising over it. Now it is a guitar trio. I enjoyed getting my acoustic guitar out of  mothballs...

Myth wave version of "Patterns" of which the original remake can be heard here: https://alicedeeper.bandcamp.com/track/patterns-1996-remake

So, yeah, that myth wave album is definitely coming.

Patterns (Myth Wave version)

Paul put this revved up open collab out there under the title "Rock a Car"...well I took it for a reckless joyride.  I was using it to get those ripping, rockin' runs under my fingers. Yes, I may have hit the guardrails a few times with Paul's badass muscle car. But it was a helluva ride! ;0

Stolen Car (Paploviante "Rock a Car" Collab)

Purple Microdot---Released 11/13/22
To me the best part is art —-so draw your own conclusions
A Kaleidoscope filled with hope ——-not illusions
Color in each track ————-just to keep you grooving
Glitter fills the Road—-street rhythms keep you moving

If you don’t know —-here you go 
but keep it on the down low 
my minds corrupt ——but whose mind is not
acid drop—— old-school hip-hop 
baseline—-roof top ——gonna rip —this track up
Full-blown goosebumps —when I hear a beat drop
from the bottom to the top —desire goes nonstop 
going without knowing —but it has to be done 
Raw yet polish —-and created for fun
 
Chorus
Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when my stars align——You know I’mer get mine
Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire 
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
A suit of Bob-wire

Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—call it —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya
And you know that I’m truly a  part of you——so That suit is gonna fit ya

----------Chorus-------

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow 
Are Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
a God’s made —-to love it all——-that—— purple microdot


This that aftershock—-Tha aftershock—-Tha aftershock
From the acid drop ———Mine corrupt 
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop 
bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot 
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts ——kilowatts ——kilowatts
of purple microdot 
hip-hop Woodstock ——hip-hop Woodstock ——-hip-hop Woodstock

LYRIC

Far along the beaten path
No end in sight 
What supplies we have are poor and running low
We’ve so far to go

Some split off
We’ve seen their camps
Maps they study by weakening lamps
The light will die out and then
They’ll join us again

We march on
It’s our purpose
 We march on
We endure thus we survive
And that’s our true goal
Stay alive

In the distance mountains loom
The darkening skies mean winter soon
We’ll find an old tree down
Build a fire to gather round
But not a shelter
We’ve lost that skill
Our arms are weak
As is our will
Besides we don’t have time
There are mountains we must climb

We march on
Tired but trudging
We march on
No use judging
Why we do
It’s just another day
to get through

Elders tell of a homeland
Their own elders told them of and
Maybe it’s all true
Who knows what they knew
But maybe it’s all true

The trail is lost
We’re on our own 
Our courage sapped
Our fear has grown
We can’t give into dread
Salvation lies ahead

So we march on….

We March On

This song came about because I thought I'd try my hand at making my very own real-instrument percussion track, just for fun and to see if Mark could flesh it out... I think he may have had a go, bless him, but, even if my tapping and shaking didn't make the cut, we got this reggae-style thing as the end result.

I'm just trying you must see
To fit the pattern
Your routines
I'm just trying as I ever do
To fall into step
Inside out you oh oh oh

Watching stitches
Shades of green
Making time move rhythmically
It's been two hours 
An inch apiece
And thank god good love
Coming back to me

This is the roar of the roller coaster
Living breathing
I'd rather be riding than us flat-lining
This is the heady
Fall arrested
Sooner or later 
You come to the rescue
You're the rescue

Make with mind 
As with my hands 
The coffee scene
The waterfront
Walks along while dreaming of
Comfort days with you

Every Conversation in June

The Rollercoaster

Buy me if you love me

The Rescue

February 2023 DIAMC prompt was to write a song inspired by a name, which was to be included within the title. 

Yesterday I sat down, wrote and recorded, this song about - and for - my beautiful almost, almost always friend. We met when I was 9 and she was 10. 


Gwendoline

Northern lights watched late, from garage roof
Swung on swings with Walkmans, in our youth
Oh my darlin’, times were simpler then

There’ve been darker days, tears amongst laughter
Can’t stay kids for ever, and after
Oh my darlin’, growing up can hurt bad
 
I just hope that I always had your back

Wish I still took time and wrote more letters
To have and hold, with love from sender
Cos my darlin’, you know I’m really glad

All  these years you’ve been there for me too
The  lovely  things you say,  and that you do
Oh my darlin’, you’re the friend I’ve almost, almost, always had

Through all the good and bad
The happy and the sad
Lucky to have Gwendoline

If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you fall
If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you’re falling

Welcome. I'm having a bit of fun experimenting with different music styles these days so there is quite a variety here - ambient, jazz, blues, rock and experimental... anything goes!

Hope you enjoy listening.
