New Improv Album... but it's not what you expect
on: January 14, 2025, 09:28:51 PM
Not sure where this musical side of me came from, I've been very sick (like seriously sick... like death is coming soon kinda sick but watever) and I wanted to try opening my musical world.. so take what I'm about to show to with an open mind. All the music and lyrics are me performing them. As for the voices, I don't have the ability to sing so I had to input line by line and use a voice modifier hahah. I think this turned out alright, there is some of my piano music in there around the half way mark... called "the lonely rose" but go ahead... enjoy this little musical adventure. much love to all of you.

Firstly, I am sorry you have been ill and I am very pleased that a question mark exists after "will and testament" ! This is a poignant collection of well crafted pieces of deep sentiment. At seventy-seven, in contrast, it seems, to most people my age, I am ever ready to listen to and embrace new forms of creation which reach out in technique and personal expression and embody the eternal verities in new ways. I too take delight in seeing the infinite in small manifestations of life - Blake's "seeing the universe in a grain of sand" and "holding eternity in an hour", as it were. We need these insights to counter an ever menacing  world of "bona fide hell zones", to paraphrase the composer, poet and artist, David Thomas Roberts.

Hang in there mate, music has titanic healing power.
