For Dad - Goodbye

4 Star Commended Entry in the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest

We  sometimes  feel  sad, we  may  feel  blue                                                              
The  troubles  in  life  can  be  many  or  few
A  winding  road  soon  straightens  out,
So  trust  in  God  to  help  you  out                              

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us, whatever  we  do

We  pray  for  peace, in  a  world  of  strife                                                            
We  hope  for  a  long  and  fulfilling  life
Working  together  makes  good  sense,
So  trust  in  God  to  give  you inner  strength

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us,  whatever  we  do
                              
The  gift  of  life, is  a  priceless  gem                                                               
Given  by  the  Lord  to  all  women  and  men
We  should  make  the  most  of  our  time  on  Earth,
And  trust  in  God,  to  realise  our  worth

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us,  whatever  we  do

His  light,  His  light  shines  through , It  shines  on  me.  it  shines  on  you,
His  light,  His  light  shines  through,  It  shines  on  us,  whatever  we  do

His Light Shines Through

Don’t know why I’ve been so blind
It didn’t come into my mind
Now my heart is filled with rain
No one can relieve my pain

So much love is getting lost
All around me tears and frost
Let me sleep again by your side
This bed is now a world too wide

I don’t care if I live or die
Bury me low and let me lie
May our souls to heaven fly
In a long, long sigh....

Sigh

A little improv in Pythagorean tuning by Stacy Fahrion. I'm currently using the free trial version of Pianoteq. It's an amazing program, and so far I actually love the creative limitations it imposes by leaving certain black keys out.

D Phrygian improvisation in 5/4 with 3-limit tuning by Stacy Fahrion

The cycle in the LH is 5+6+7+6+5, and the RH is playing a 3 over 5 polyrhythm.

Meditation on Time (29-beat pattern In G Dorian)

Now that I'm exploring microtonality I spend time deciding new things like whether or not the 2nd should be 10/9 or 9/8. 10/9 seemed a bit too mellow, so I went for 9/8.

D Minor 5-limit miniature with 9:8 E

5:4 with some 7-limit cubes

Exuberance is beauty." ~William Blake (one of the more perplexing phrases from Proverbs of Hell)

A few days ago, I programmed Michael Harrison's 7-limit Revelation tuning into Pianoteq using Scala, and I feel like I could spend years just experimenting with this particular tuning. I began by playing excerpts of his gorgeous, mind-blowing piece, Revelation, and then veered off into improvising with the tuning a bit. This is the first thing I came up with, and Michael Harrison's tuning is really what makes it sound cool. At the very least, it's fun to play.

Exuberance (7-limit Revelation tuning)

Floating uses Paul Johnson's 11-limit Janus lattice, but I didn't play any of the 11-limit notes, so this is really a 7-limit piece. It's in E Phrygian/mostly E minor pentatonic, and the left hand pattern is 11 beats throughout.

Recorded on Modartt Pianoteq Steinway D.
