I am once again honored to have guitarist Harry Jacobson join me on this dual guitar instrumental fusion track titled “CLOCK IS TICKING”.
What starts off as a repeating set of three cool sounding suspension chords accompanied by a simple repeating motif, quickly builds up and morphs in multiple layers of guitar-work by both myself and Harry.
I really enjoyed the many additional musical ideas that Harry brought forth, that helped propel this simple futuristic sounding concept to life.

For those that like to learn about the story behind a music track they may find enjoyable, I would love to share my story!

So… a most extraordinary experience happened to me sometime during the summer of 1980, in which I woke up out of a VIVID DREAM. Unlike most vivid dreams, which are rare by any measure, this particular dream literally had no visuals to speak of. Instead, I found myself enveloped in what I can only describe as an immense surround sound like experience, listening to, and 100% engaged in an amazing musical soundscape that lasted for several minutes.  The music went through several stages and was incredibly detailed, even regarding the sonic characteristics.  

Like all dreams, this experience could only be remembered upon waking up immediately afterwards.  Vivid dreams, tend to be even more impactful to our conscience memory. 

So upon wakening from this vivid dream musical, I was truly stunned. Somehow my subconscious, in a dream, literally created and arranged an entire piece of music in my sleep!  Knowing how something like this was indeed a very special and rare event, I was determined not to lose or forget any of it.  I immediately hopped out of bed, totally disregarding my usual coffee and breakfast, and headed directly to my simple equipment on hand to play and record everything that I had just heard in my dream. At the time, I used an Oberheim DX drum machine, and a Sequential Prophet 5 keyboard synth, to duplicate as best as I could the music and sounds of what I had just heard 10 minutes earlier in my sleep. I recorded it all within a couple hours onto a Teac 144 Cassette 4-track machine, in which I eventually mixed down onto another standard stereo cassette tape.  I did not share that piece of music with too many people, because I it was conceived in such a remarkable way, and I felt it was oddly out of character with the type of music I was into at the time.

A couple decades later, for the purpose of preserving these old works, I transferred much of my older music from tape to digital, including this vivid dream creation, which for the lack of a better title I simply called “Dream Tune”.

Well, as many of you know, I’ve been pretty busy over the past couple decades creating and producing all sorts of original music.  But every once in a while I would come across and visit that old recording of “Dream Tune”, naturally recollecting the extraordinary birth of that piece.  In a way it haunted me… almost requesting me to resurrect it from the inherent poor sound quality it always possessed from recording originally on cassette tape.

I know this is a long read for many, so thank you for reading my story up to this point.
SO NOW… I’m happy to say I finally got around to redoing this piece of music in its entirety, but using today’s technology to produce a high quality sound. Also, my goal was to retain the original music, arrangement, and sonic details, just as I heard them in my vivid dream 43 years ago!
In full disclosure, regarding this updated version, I did a lot of extra detailed embellishments throughout to enhance the overall track. But, literally 95% of it is just like the original. 
The final adjustment made was to title it “Cloud Dreamer”,  reflecting on my interests in the skies and weather.

Thanks for listening and reading this! 
Audric

GRATITUDE - It's all about the music!

It took me some time to finish this tune, as I composed this almost a decade ago. For some reason, many other musical projects kept distracting me from investing the kind of time this tune, “GRATITUDE”, required and I believe deserved. 
But, I decided to not let it remain on the back burner any longer. 
I’m happy to say I finally got it done.

This tune is all about the gratitude I have towards everything that encompasses music. There’s gratitude simply for music existing in the first place. It’s my heartfelt tribute towards the art of music in all its forms. It is also just as much a tribute to ALL the musicians, from all walks of life, famous and not so famous... with some of course being highly influential and motivational for me on a personal level, all of which have been a source of inspiration in one way or another over the course of my life.

The essence of music is one of those big unanswered mysteries in the human experience. Why is it that we humans perceive the sounds of music in the way we do? No one has ever really come up with a plausible explanation, yet music remains as a special art form that has existed throughout modern civilization and has been expressed in countless ways. It’s pretty incredible… isn’t it?!

So, I conclude with the hopes that you will give a good listen to my tune “GRATITUDE”. 
After all this is a tribute to every one out there... whether you are a fellow musician, or the non-musician that simply loves to listen to music and one that embraces this wonderful and diverse art form.

I'd like to thank Audric for joining me on this song. Audric has been hard at work on some music he's eager to finish, but after I sent him this song he was kind enough to put his music on temporary hold so that he could play his blazing, virtuoso guitar solo. 

Audric and I both have our feelings about what this song is about, but we leave it up to you the listener to consider making your own meaning. Art is always open to interpretation. Art doesn't live in a binary universe; rather, it has gray areas and what I consider to be art may not be artistic at all in your view. I just ask that you listen with an open mind.

I thank you, as always, for continuing to return to my channel, and for supporting my music once again. 

All my best, 

Roger
