tranquil-like being on a boat and just letting the currents take you wherever they want

Lovely composition, this is pure ear candy :)

Melancholic and thoughtful. A piece which gives one pause for a moment.

What a Grand SoundScape. Love all of these instruments...so Engulfing.

Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

AB Playlist 090 Part 1

I decided to upload the piano part of this music.  although it was great having Sophie work on the music with me, the balance wasn't right and the melody was often covered up. Only toward the end did I add a little strings that had already been recorded

I know your tired - but hey dude I am too –I'm  tired of trying to resurrect – the good in you
The good in me – has taken a back seat – and I just watch you flounder around – wondering when you'll come around 
And you walk – down this lonely road – trying to find a place you can stand still find a place you can call your home 
The real in us – We watch it dissipate – and as our life is fading away we find peace in our solitude 
But hey we’ll keep on moving with thoughts that are soothing In hopes it will get us through our day…
There’s something I been meaning to say!
Why’d the fuck you let her get away
Could’ve saved yourself from all this god damn pain
So much disease can’t figure out the strain – I'd like to hold you down and rub away the stain
2nd verse
I know your tired – But Hey dude I am too – I'm tired of trying to have your back – when you never pull through
The good in me – has taken a back seat –And I know your about to erupt – when did your soul become so corrupt
And you walk – down this lonely road – trying to find a place you could stand still find a place you can call your home – 
The good in us – we’re sick of all these games – but it’s something we’ve grown so used to there won’t be any breakthroughs 
hey we’ll keep on moving with thoughts that are soothing In hopes it will get us through our day…
There’s something I been meaning to say!
Why’d the fuck you let her walk away
Could’ve saved yourself from all this god damn pain
So much disease can’t figure out the strain – I'd like to hold you down and rub away that stain
I’m so fucking tired – but hey dude so are you – I'm tired of trying to find the words – when they all cut through - yeah!!!!

The Stain.....

Where Are You

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

ONE DAY IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
LEARN TO GIVE AND TAKE BUT CRY
A BIRTHDAY WISH IS ALL THATS TRUE
A WISHING WELL WITH NO DESIRE

TEN YEARS ON AND TO SMART TO LEARN
ON YOUR BIKE AND LOST IN STUFF
I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL DAYS GONE
WHAT WE SEE WE LEARN TO TRY

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
(break)
THE WISE GREY MAN CAN BEARLY HEAR
GRANDCHILD SENDS A TEXT OF LOVE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE SEA
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE USED TO BE

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THELINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

Long before September 11, 2001, there was a September 11, 1950; the birthdate of my wife Terry.  This song started out as a very personal musical portrait of her.  Debra became interested in the track after I sent it to her for collaborative consideration.  The result is something very special for the both of us and we hope you too.  In my playing, I address the intimate side of the song and day. In Debra's playing, she addresses the now much larger meaning of the day for our nation and the world. Ultimately I think what we are saying is that 9/11 is profoundly personal. Each of us, if were old enough to remember, know where we were, what we were doing the day the attacks occurred. The attacks also shook the world, world markets, world travel, and any and all sense of security.   Profound sorrow was draped over our country and any nation that called us friend.  "Stay With Me" is another way of saying "hold me close", "we need each other", and as the track picture suggests "forget me not".    A big "thank you" to Debra for lavishing her talent on this very personal song.    More of her beautiful music can be heard @debra_buesking.

Stay With Me (featuring Debra Buesking, piano)

This was made on the occasion of being unexpectedly called back to full time work after some years of delicious semi-retirement.

Grim Blossom, Crimson Petals is a blood-soaked boom bap opera that drapes Japanese folklore in vinyl dust and streetwear paranoia. It’s elegance with bruises—part yōkai fever dream, part noir requiem scored by Grimes Benton

Cherry Blossoms on Surveillance Tape

Soundtrack that takes me back to my first day in school and all the adventures and excitement, the friends I made and some nerves too - immersive track to chill out too and hopefully enjoy!

First Day

Step into a moonlit river of sound. Session XIX — Lanterns Over the Water drifts through the heart of Japan’s shrine and lantern traditions, weaving non‐lexical shrine chorus hums, shakuhachi sighs, koto glissandi, and taiko heartbeat pulses into a deep, meditative lounge journey.
Inspired by Kyoto’s Gion nights, coastal lantern festivals, and the still elegance of Shinto shrine waters, this session captures a ritual calm where fireflies, incense smoke, and floating lights move as one.

▸ REGION: Japan — Shinto shrine ambience, lantern festivals, Gion street nights
▸ VOCALS: nonverbal shrine chants, breath vowels (“aaa–ooo–eee”), whispered blessings (“mizu,” “tsuki,” “kokoro”)
▸ INSTRUMENTS: shakuhachi, koto, taiko, suzu bells, temple woodblock, night cicadas, water ripple field recordings
▸ MOOD: moonlit stillness • ritual elegance • drifting light on water

🎧 For meditative evenings, incense-lit moments, or midnight walks by water.

Some live looping acoustic music for a lovely day! 🙂 I wrote this song after I was stuck for many hours in a heavy rain in South Europe while hitchhiking to Morocco and West Sahara. Song is in my mother tongue - Latvian. This isn't my most latest song but this is brand new arrangement. Hope you will enjoy!

Let it Happen / Lai Notiek (Live Looping Version)

Mostly I make ambient/melancholic electronic music. Or I play the piano. 
Sometimes there will be faster songs. And sporadically I will do something different. 

Thanks to everyone who takes time to listen to my tracks, or likes them, or reposts them... much appreciated <3
