"Through My Eyes" (Edit.: Mastered with iZotope Ozone 11 on December 4th, 2023)

This is a partly improvised "smooth jazz" or "lounge" track made as a humble tribute to my - for the most part American - collection of the wonderful musical adventure called smooth jazz that has given me so much over the years (maybe also the term "Westcoast music" could be relevant here). 

I shall call this track "Through My Eyes" because it kind of tries to capture and present something about the American smooth jazz tradition - as seen through my eyes. 

This track was loosely inspired first by Mr. Keith Jarrett's two wonderful songs, "The Good America" and "Country" which both express an enormously positive and hymn-like feeling, and second by Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 3 in F Major, III. Poco allegretto (Op. 90), the beauty of which has been "haunting" me for many years (and maybe also to some extent by Mozart's Symphony No. 40, I. Molto allegro, and Schubert's Symphony No. 8 "Unfinished", I. Allegro moderato, etc.).

I have not found out much about the origins of the two Mr. Jarrett's songs but in a recent interview he talks about them and rightly describes - if I understood correctly - the song "The Good America" as almost like a prayer. I also got the impression that both of these two Mr. Jarrett's songs kind of represent a view of America. 

I have also gotten inspiration here from the music of one of my all-time favorite jazz bands Spyro Gyra and from all the wonderful music that Mr. Carlos Santana has provided to the world. Last but not least as a source of inspiration I shall mention the music of Mr. Burt Bacharach (especially his breath-taking song "Bells of St. Augustine"). There is again also a bunch of other classical and popular music and jazz lurking on the background as a source of inspiration. 

The instruments and plugins I have been privileged to use here are once again my old workhorse Korg SGProX digital stage piano (master keyboard), Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer (CFX Concert) and the wonderful instruments from Scarbee (Rhodes, EP-88S), Native Instruments (Abbey Road 80s Drummer), the UVI SonicPass and Arturia V Collection. The drum grooves, fills etc. are from the 80s Drummer and edited by me.

Sleep Therapy
Music can be a powerful tool to help you fall asleep, relax and de-stress. Music has the ability to slow down your heart rate and relax your entire body. It can also help to drown out background noise and other distractions, which can prevent you from getting a good night's sleep. Listening to calming music can help to take your mind off of worries and anxieties, allowing you to drift off into a peaceful sleep. There are many types of music that are suitable for helping you fall asleep, including classical, jazz, and even some new age music. It is important to find a genre of music that you find soothing and calming, as different types of music can have different effects on people. You can also experiment with different tempos and rhythms to find the perfect combination for helping you drift off.

Picnic in the Park  - Watch my video short! https://youtu.be/Z90D8qLSHjY?si=9lbkSdG-aeu_zr4H

A glorious day 
For a Picnic in the Park
Birds are chirping, 
Swans are swimming
Children laughing, 
The sun is grinning.
On a blanket of grass, 
We lay 
Side by side, 
Savoring each taste
Of food, drink, 
A kiss, 
On this lovely day.
