Blimey, this could be my theme tune - recognise the dynamic of unforgiving regrets that eat at you your whole life. Great song, Gaz. Really great.

oh yeah this one's got some *soul* in it, and I dig it!!!

Love the guitar solo,  and great song!😊

Super impressive vocal!  And great song too.

This a Poem written by Jo Richter Aka (Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches) He also is the maker of the Natural Weather,syth,bells track  and the Art. The drums come from Roland/Boss at 164 BPm. This is another wonderful poem from Jo. Many thanks to everyone!!

Solstice Weather Report
 
These solstice eyes 
have learned to disagree
with the varnish and dies
of vain pleasantry

The ugly devices of self-serving goons
casting their angst ridden bases
only to float their ego-balloons
have erased all the sky's visual graces.

This Solstice skin
has learned to shy away
from the deceptively Thin
pvc overlay.

this discount-priced vortex of dime-store illusion
raises hope from the ground at it's gust front
only to soil soils with futile pollution
as it scatters it's load in the minds of those stunned.

These Solstice ears
have learned to listen in
to the grumblings of fears
in the voice therein

Bared. in the open, prone to transform
Buds turn to flower when graced by the soft rain
fears provide courage to transcend the norm
letting go and becoming are one and the same.

Solstice Weather Report(A poem by Jo Richter)

This is a collaboration project named Under This Sun with Sarge a musician and producer from my home town Birmingham.
A song about the things that we aren’t proud off and stay with us forever.

Hi guys, really proud today introducing a very fruitful collab with my friend Dirk Taubenheim from The Gatsbys. This song means a lot to me, as this is my very first song I partly wrote almost 15 years ago. I only finished music and arrangement last year, and considering the great welcome this song had from you all, I decided to carry on the work and write lyrics. 
Once it was finished, I offered Dirk to sing it, as I always thought he had the admirable rocky voice this song deserved. He accepted straight away to sing it, which was an honor for me considering his prolific songwriting career. If you don't know him yet, you definitely have to visit his SC page : https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and best wishes to you all.

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Nič ni tako srečno

Nič ni tako srečno kot poletje, 
ki je opustilo svojo stražo,
ki je stopilo naprej 
in našlo svojo senco
v soncu.

Music: Alessandro De Oliveira Bastos

Nič ni tako srečno

A trip into a forest to sight an elusive tiger. Enthusiastic calls, tension, a roar, release...and home again!

Lots of pianos, guitars, basses, synths, percussion...Had so much fun with this one...I hope you do too! :)

Points of Reference.

Here's the first Anomon & Elliot recording in a New Series of musical conversations in 'The Livingroom', in February 2023. And today (Feb. 21st it's #2 on the SC New & Hot Ambient Chart in North America. 

The tones and textures Tim created on his guitar as we began improvising reminded me of the Erhu.. the two stringed Chinese instrument played with a bow. It felt like we were actually looking out over the amazing horizon in the photo above, filled with wonder. Shortly after, we found our way into the musical equivalent of Para-Gliding over the clouds in very cool n joyous groove that continues to pulse through until the finish.

We hope you'll enJOY, too. 😊

Spring time (Guitar solo)

NEW!!!  4 Track EP ~Conscience Of Kings . Don’t Come For Me  Unless I Send For You  featuring Nat Daniels 
https://open.spotify.com/album/0rAxRMpDwcR53nBwRUpsaV?si=GHeDw9TjSmqYBENBRBS83w




DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW ! 🔥CONSCIENCE  OF KINGS 
https://open.spotify.com/album/2Ei1Yv0MVoQ9HOZ5rPZPQq?si=KkZzBHqPRF6cS3TRisQKDw

Finally after recording over 30 songs we have narrowed it down to 11 of what we consider our best work to date. 
I hope you will check it out and follow us on what ever platform you listen on . Thank you for all the support you have showed on Soundcloud it’s very much appreciated.
60,0000 songs a day get released on Spotify so just a little splash in a massive ocean is all we can hope for but who knows!
We have already had publishing intrest  in the material from the point of moving the material on for other artists and sync work.￼
Acorns turn into oaks but is a long process. 
Since the album release we have gone onto to release singles and EPs on a regular basis.

Gaz Brown, a singer songwriter and the other half of Conscience Of Kings with producer and multi musician Noobly.  Also I’m  a writing partner for Under This Sun with producer and multi musician Sarge.

I fell back into writing during 2020 after a 20 year absence. I think the hiatus￼ must have done me a world of good as I haven’t stop writing since, with over 150 songs recorded in studio or demo form. It’s just great to be back doing it again and not having to rehearse in sweaty lock ups and constantly playing live. I have the comfort of my own small studio room and do everything remotely
Having previously only ever fronted bands, the most successful one being 90s psychedelic original underground indie band This Elegant Chaos. I finally bothered to learn guitar and keyboard in the past couple of years .I just wish I had bothered when I was 15 as I might be decent by now!
My songs on this page are just born out of being creative and probably don’t sound nothing like my influences unlike the band page on sound-cloud of This Elegant Chaos.

Influences include late 70s new wave, late 80s indie guitar bands and the 90s explosion of ￼￼the Brit pop era and anything else that’s decent, whatever the style. If it’s good it’s just good!

The demo songs have all been recorded on a Boss Mini BR80 that fits in the palm of my hand. 
It’s all my own work except the  collaborations that are listed under Conscience of Kings, Under This Sun, Jeff Roberts, The Gatsbys and Mike Fox. 
Always open to doing any collaborations with other Soundclouders, don’t be shy to ask. 

Conscience Of Kings is an ongoing project with Noobly that is available on all streaming platforms. 
The aim is to keep recording enough quality material to release in single, EP or album form all on all major streaming services. 

Hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment and follow. I will always check out genuine follows who put a shift in on my music . 
Remember this is a music community and support is vital without it what’s the point . 
Thanks Gaz 👍
