Flying Notes

2021 Playback

Dark Corner Kick

Subterranean / basement offering - this is a rare outing for my guitar which I love to pick at (even tho it's steel strings numb my fingers!).
Another rarity is a wail on my old Pierret tenor sax which I've had since 1972 and still blows nice.
4 tracks sax  / 6 tracks guitar.

Dark Corner Quartet (Blues for a Dark Corner)

I wrote two sister pieces for piano and called this EP "A Wasted Weekend". The first piece, "A Rainy Saturday", can be found at https://soundcloud.com/bdrosa/a-rainy-saturday

With love.
-Bernie

PS: You can find the piano scores at my website for free! https://www.bdrosa.com/sheet-music

And it's Sunday Again

The summer is still in its Solstice. Have a warm day!

Fantasy is played on Maschine Mikro MK3 with pads and knobs. Only stock drum/bass, synth and the new polysynth. When Maschine software chocked on tracks and FX, rendered tracks into Ableton for tweaking, mixing and to play more embellishments with Polysynth as VST. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Fantasy will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled Love, some day, maybe. TNX!

Musically yours! ~ S.P. ~

Not My Neighborhood
by Nadia Selvaggi

This, this, this is not my neighborhood!
Where is Williamsburg, Brooklyn --
my crime-ridden, filthy, spray-painted 'hood?

Where is Eastern District High School?
Where is that old school cool?
Where is all the red brick?
Where are all the addicts itchin' for a fix?

I don't know this place at all
I don't smell my Grandma's moth or meat balls
Corporate greed, thy will be done,
as it is in Manhattan and the City of London

Mr. Global's mercenaries killed our low rent, 
our culture, and our authenticity
Damn the L train gentrifiers!
Damn the cold glass and bitter steal!

Bamonte's, Fortunato Brothers, Nunzio and Sons,
survived New York's perpetual reinvention
Tell me craft beer drinking, Hipster trust fund --
where is my 11211?

Not My Neighborhood by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi (w The Windscale Blues Experiment)

J'ai un bleu à la gorge !
La voix du blues ? 
La voix du bleu ?
Celles des bleus ?
Celle du peuple des abysses ?
Celle des oiseaux du ciel ?  Croa croa ?

Pulsion 
Pulsations 
Impulsion 
Ovation ....

Ark Dambient | Blink Twice | Supernumeraries Mix

Last month my friend Jeff/Stonerjazz sent me a preview of this song he was about to release (https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/01-i-still), and he was so kind to ask me if I wanted to add anything to it. We had been planning a collaboration for months, so I happily started to work on it, recording a few instrumental tracks. I got inspired from Jeff's amazing lyrics and vocal harmonies, and we're both happy about the way this tune turned out to sound.
A wonderful collaboration that we'd like to dedicate to all of you SoundCloud maestros, wishing everyone a happy new year. Peace, love and happiness...

LYRICS:

captured in the eddy of the river bright, the still life painted with the colors of the soul, the dead-eyed and the damaged wander through the landscape of the misty light without compassion for our plight.
even in the darkest night there’s drops of paint, notes from my guitar, and tiny light that usher in such lush delights, though worthless in the merchants eye, the maestro has the wings to fly…
it’s a big mess, got a hole in my chest, taken down and crushed like apples in a press, i confess to everything i’ve ever done. every single one of us… on the run.
when minds are quiet, the stink of revolution floats in the air, and the overlords they waste away in deep despair… slippin in the deep end not so quietly. fantastic sights!!
tin can rattle in the back, living in a tiny shack, standing in the middle of a two lane blacktop gazing at a cloud i saw some thirty years ago.

The Maestro | feat. Stonerjazz

Released when the clock hit 12 a.m. midnight January 1st, 2021

I welcome this new year with a HOWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

______________

I knew it this time & I’m on the run
I hear a shooting gun, a rifle shot and I blow apart
if you aim it at our heart then it’s gonna be a new start
vengeance, when we bare our teeth a little more
anymore it’ll be, more it’ll be in a moonlit mirror, madness laughs with me
I have a drink and a song & I fuck it in a song
in a war time dream madness runs along
Irish heat call a million dead next to me
when iron heels call me, crush me in the street
moon animals gotta move your feet
poor in my head, it’s war in your head or you’re dead on the street
I feel you next to me, I am a moon animal, I feel you changing in my toes up my toes
feel it in my soul in my soul, oh sweet moonshine shine your light on me!!!!
I am a moon animal I feel it feel it in my soul
aaaaaaahwwwwwoooooooooooo!!!!
moon amore one more spin in the moon I am once again
in howling night I’ll ride that music to the sky
and end where I began

Another in the 150bpm series - this track was inspired by fast flying birds - in particular the fastest of all the Peregrine Falcon (clocked diving at nearly 200mph). Image is of 'Allen' a metal sculpture of such a bird who resides by the Diamond Building at Sheffield University (and is made of 10,000 allen keys!)
