If I Could Sing The Blues (from my Blues Lesson)

My initial piano sketch for this piece aroused associations with two styles: nothern shanty and southern work songs. So when it came to composing and arranging the full piece, I lent heavily into these styles. They blended incredibly good and the result is some adventurous fantasy piece that gave me strong pirate-vibes. Hence the cover - Arrr!

You may have noticed that I find more and more joy in recording live instruments. So if you want to have a look behind the scenes and see what and how I've recorded, you'll find quite a few shorts from this on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TorbenFugger/shorts

The bike was a really short track I made a long, long time ago

The Bike (short track) 11/09/2009

A quiet chill jazz fusion atmosphere perhaps NuJazz with minimal percussion but a throbbing beat and electro, including one synth — a marimba sounding arp like a ticking clock — that I use in this  composition and a few new songs such as Hidden Room. Time Machine is the title track from my upcoming Time Machine EP. 
..................
With respect to H.G.Wells, I daresay that the brain, and more expansively, the mind is the best time machine of the cosmos. In fact, it created the idea of a time machine and discovered the physics that can someday engineer a time travel device. Time itself is a construct or an invention of the mind.

Our minds as time machines can instantly travel to the past — retrieving data about history and the physical world, and experiences from memory as if they happened today. Our minds can also zoom out to the future — conjuring a vision of how the world could look as a mental rehearsal, a daydream, a thought experiment, and a creative process for solving problems and making art. Or building time machines. 

We, humans, may be physically limited but our minds are not. And that gives me hope, even in the midst of chaos.

Lyrics

Please pure from purr
Good feline sending word
High vibrational kitty cures
Make our bones more dense, endure

Heal with cat trapped sense
Evolution made weak expense
Mutated state some 'illion times
Imagined fashions filled in with rhymes
Existential niches clean
Little perspective is one life dream

Let's hear it as the bear
The purr becomes a roar
Be hummingbird of care
Your wings vibrate some more
Be buzzing bee
Be resonant flower
Be life's sounds
Purred power hour

Please pure form purr
Mystical musical masterful more
Appease proof,
Accede to truth clan
Please pure from purr
Present project Pi plan

Pure Purr

Special thanks to Ashesndreams for her acappella

Lyrics :
Baby no me pidas que me aparte
Yo ya te he buscado en todas partes
Solamente vengo a recordarte que estoy
Imaginandote
Una y otra vez
Que tu estas aqui conmigo
Acariciandome
No seas timido
Dejate querer
Que si dudas te prometo
Que vas a volver

No tengo miedo
Soy un kamikaze
Mi imaginacion se prende con lo que me haces
Diario yo te pienso
Te tengo en mis suenos
Eres el motor para escribir todos mis versos
No te voy a mentir te quiero todo pa mi

IMAGINANDOTE. 🎧.  feat  Ashesndreams

I hate the feeling of waiting when I know there may be something wrong.  I grow impatient, reticent, frantic, irritable and impulsive.

Waiting

Recorded early this morning on my phone, a simple take when it was quiet.
I am finding it quite difficult to play my guitar now because of my arthritis, so  good to play a little. 
Happy Solstice to all of you!!

The Telscombe Cliffs Acoustic Club
We just roll down to the pub
It's in our local neighbourhood
The Telscombe Cliffs Acoustic Club

Paul is the ukelele man
Always turns up with a plan
With humorous ditties
From many a year
He makes us laugh, that's really clear

There's Geordie Paul
With many a song
Old folk tunes
That we can sing along
A picking style we can really groove
Where there's nothing to lose

Then there's Carol on her keys instrument
From memory can't remember what its called
It plays chords with keys on a board
All the latest tunes she does afford

Kev the organiser man
Playing songs as diverse as he can
From obscure folk to Paul Simon
Neil Young to the Detectorists man

An honourable mention to 
Russ, Ian, Suzie, Tom and Ryan
With influences from bluegrass to something wild
A rent a crowd that cheer us on, 
thanks indeed to Phil, Julie and Ron

Along the way, out of curiosity
Ask me anything, I know it all

Know it all, that’s what they call me
Means I really don’t know a thing
Open my mouth
Prove it time and again

I can count to ten, three different languages 
No and yes and thank you 
That’s my specialty

Know it all, that’s what they call me
Means I really don’t know a thing
Open my mouth
Prove it time and again

Almost to the point, almost able to
Make a point, most of it pointless

Keen eye for the obvious, spot it every time
Did you catch the way made it look so easy

Know it all, that’s what they call me
Means I really don’t know a thing
Open my mouth
Prove it time and again

Smirk on my face
Cranium can’t hold it all
Sit in wonder
Such the wealth of knowledge

Listen close to what I’m saying
Say I mean it I believe it

Almost to the point, almost able to
Make a point, most of it pointless

I got super confidence, sure of myself
Stand alone atop the highest mountain 

Smirk on my face
Cranium can’t hold it all
Sit in wonder
Such the wealth of knowledge

Listen close to what I’m saying
Say I mean it I believe it

Almost to the point, almost able to
Make a point, most of it pointless

Smirk on my face
Cranium can’t hold it all
Sit in wonder
Such the wealth of knowledge
