Brilliant synth pattern lends tension to the journey coming to an end! Perfect mood for this subject...great performance and production!

Uniquely brilliant-really appreciate your style and sound man 🔥⚡️🔥

Impressive guitar, cool to read about the process, as I am a newbie who just dials up the overdrive... haha. Wonderfully orchestrated.

Really digging your whole foundation series, once again I find it so cool that you produce soundtracks to the great scifi you're reading

Little Black Matchstik Girl

No locks of gold she would have worn
Nor fair in skin she would adorn

Every time she rose to speak
No ears to listen how they sleep

No one cared for the girl with naps
How she read you like a map

She had issues with her self
All of them on a dusty shelf

For everyone to judge and see
Her human flaws plauging thee

With no one there to help her plight
Her body began to dim in light

when she died in dark and cold
No one knew her depth in soul

Who was a fire that warmed the old
A golden angel you would behold

"Love hard. Get your heartbroken. Laugh. Cry. Suffer. Explore. Wear your scars with pride. Allow life to teach you in mysterious ways. Risk it all. Put your heart on the line. Fall down. Get back up no matter what..." -Evan Sanders

Anyone who has seen The Chosen might like this song. It is about Maria of Magdala and her first encounter with Jesus. Thanks so much, Paola & Ben!

Voices

We all hear voices 
they tell us to choose!!
And we will destroy them
cause that's what we do!!

I am a cheater!! 
I am a fool!!
I am only human!!
I am like you!!

Voices

A Bossa Nova tune about a dreamy trip. Hope you enjoy!

Another track inspired by the Foundation SciFi books by Isaac Asimov. I love how his books pursue a mystery, only to be replaced by a new one just when you think you've got it... That's life for you. 
The guitar parts were played on a Duesenberg Paloma put through a pitch vibrato, plate reverb, a ping pong delay and a modern amp.

Approaching Gaia

Je suis décivilisation 
Je suis l'ensauvagement
Je suis renarde dans votre Eden
Je suis la loi du ventre
Je suis ces invincibles amarantes
Je suis chasseresse de chasseurs
Je suis tétanisation
Je suis alors fulgurance rebelle
Je suis une murmuration féerique à l'heure dorée.
Je suis endêvée par votre passivité
Je suis l'improbable qui te guette
Je suis ainsi l'assise substantielle
Je suis mycorhizes 
Je suis ces sentiers prompts à vous faire saliver
Je suis la spirale de fuites
Je suis aussi incendie désiré
Je suis violette tel l'aconit 
Je suis sagesse car sans sang
Je suis l'évolution par tous ignorée
Je suis la badass à la hache et au cœur de glace
Je suis syntropie
Je suis notre sourire stellaire

Decivilization

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

Poem “Dillard Sissman” from the Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters

Thanks for recital from LibriVox.org read by Linda Leu

The buzzards wheel slowly
In wide circles, in a sky
Faintly hazed as from dust from the road.
And a wind sweeps through the pasture where I lie
Beating the grass into long waves.

My kite is above the wind,
Though now and then it wobbles,
Like a man shaking his shoulders;
And the tail streams out momentarily,
Then sinks to rest.

And the buzzards wheel and wheel,
Sweeping the zenith with wide circles
Above my kite. And the hills sleep.
And a farm house, white as snow,
Peeps from green trees - far away.

And I watch my kite,
For the thin moon will kindle herself ere long,
Then she will swing like a pendulum dial
To the tail of my kite.
A spurt of flame like a water-dragon
Dazzles my eyes -
I am shaken as a banner!

Kite

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!
