Modulation Exercise in A | Vivek Patel (2019)

My first track of the year in 2020; I had no idea how prophetic it would be.  We all lost loved ones or know someone whose loved ones perished in the pandemic (still ongoing) and the heart's cry was to have "one more day" to say what needed to be said, to give them a hug or a kiss, share a laugh or a tear; to give them a fond and fitting farewell.  Annie @annie-smart-1 added a lovely vocal and piano part to this song that lifts it to another level.

For One More Day (instrumental version)

Here`s a track from my latest album which I released november 2019. One can download it on services like Itunes or Spotify

Every now and then, I'll come home from work and film myself on Photo Booth to see if my embouchure and form are ok. This has helped me adapt to motor issues I developed after contracting focal dystonia in my right hand in 2012. You can see the video that this was ripped from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMn893cuNVw.

They’re posted in no particular order and cover several genres including jazz, classical, funk, orchestral, rock, drum 'n' bass, fusion, Latin, R&B, metal, country, world, and electronica. Hope you enjoy.

Attention visitors,
For more than seven years, a hacker has set my follower count to the number of the beast, 666. I've notified SoundCloud management and the police about this bizarre crime on several occasions, but neither party has followed through with a solution. Let it be known that although I am an atheist, I do not now, nor have I ever had any interest or connection to satanism, witchcraft, voodoo, occultism, or whatever foul ideologies my persecutors will have you believe I condone.
