Thank you from my heart Debbie, for sharing music with me. It`s such a Joy.
The Photo is a meeting in Blue. Harpa Reykjavik, Island.

We will float through the clouds
I look beyond me
And i see you there
The thought is real
So Complete
There is silence
A breath from the Wind
From a distance
I can see

"Through My Eyes" (Edit.: Mastered in 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.

You can find this track also on Youtube where I filmed myself while playing this. https://youtu.be/s5ytA3aeu6w 

I just wanted to try out whether I could do a Boogie. This is the outcome. Hope you like it and it gives you good energy. 

Composition-wise: The left is a consistent 1/8th Boogie base line throughout the piece and typically consisting of a lower chromatic line and an upper constant note (e.g., C0-C1-D0-C1-Eb0-C1-E0-C1). The right hand dances over this with a partly Staccato theme that is loosened up by repeated Syncopes, Delays and advanced notes. The piece starts in a joyous C and modulates over its course to the minor third and ends in the warmer (and for me richer) Eb. 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90.
The Cover art was created with Stable Diffusion which I continue fuddling around with. I think it is already a far jump from my previous „Sheherazades Tale“ Cover art but still not perfect. In particular, I continue to wonder what kind of music might be played with the very peculiar arrangement of white and black keys on the keyboard.

This isn't autobiographical in any way, it's just a story...
forgive my singing and the possibly (definitely) over the top background vox lol..

The way the morning broke that day
The sun was coming up in such an ordinary way
The day they sent you away
How could we get that news on such a lovely summer day?
a mother lost in all her tears
a brother lost inside his fear
How could they do this thing to you?
It don’t seem real, it can’t be true

for me the days were flying by
For you the world was standing still, i wondered why
It’s the beginning of the end
All The time that’s lost that you could never find again

And it seemed like a million years 
But the day at last appeared
Where was your life when you came home?
The world had left you all alone

And when our mother died, it finally broke in you
I know you never cried, and if i were you i’d be angry too
I found your guitar by your door
You said that you would never play it anymore
Some nights i hear it through the walls
It takes me back to times when we were brothers through it all

You were always there for me
Even when you couldn’t be
I wish they hadn’t stole your life away
For some little thing, that’s not a crime today
I hope you know, good things will come to you one day,
Just keep holding on, I’m with you all the way…

Oh, my brother,  sweet brother

Lyrics used (full lyrics on original track)
I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving - come on follow me
Step inside - feel the vibe - it’s almost heavenly
Warm and deep - take the leap - a total odyssey
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Find the frequency

Now vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me 

Come on where you been — the challenge is within
Again it all like letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain, can’t stop its happenings
The power and strength - all so ravishing
No heights, depth or lengths - never limiting
Day or night - anytime — nothing is more certain
It’s what you hear and how you feel - that's interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind - what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve and that is everything
That is everything

Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency

Vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me
 
Repeat

Vibe With Me
