I listened to IDIOM's beautiful and soft piece of music Home Leaving, and found it magical. He very kindly said that he would be happy for me to write some words for this. I think it is always going to be a piece of music that should stay as it, as it will never need lyrics, but I thought I would share the words that came to me almost instantly. I think they are quite pretty, hope you all do. Melsi<br /><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Last year we a little bit late with this song ,...so we wait and now...lol.. it´s Halloween again...</span> <br /><br />A dark journey in a own style Syntopia and RedEye c `s "Halloween"<br />When you have time open the gate and listen our song<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.musik-page.de/ms-syntopia/halloweencover.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />http://www.mixposure.com/Syntopia_Music/music.php<br /><br />Thanks so much for your Time Sven & Bob
I've been playin' Guitar since 1986 and I play mostly Heavy Metal. I write alot of lyrics, some guitar parts and have someone else help to put it all together, That way I still write songs but I also get influences from others so I don't wind up having all of my songs sound the same [How boring is that?] Currently I can't play much because as I grew up playing, I was never taught how to correctly hold a guitar while I'm playing, so it eventually took a toll on my wrists..<br /><br />I still play and write, but now I'm having to convert my writing into clips/riffs. I'm starting to incorporate alot of MIDI even though I can't create as much passion, but, you never know, I might wind up creating a new style of Metal?????<br /><br />I mainly play a Peavy Mystic (circa 1980's) and a 4-space Rack Mount Pro-1000 Tube Randall Head with a Randall 4X12 cab. I can get it to make alot of noise, but I like the power it's got more than the tone, so I added a Digitech ValveFX and a BBE Sonic Maximizer...... WOW, killer sound, 80's tone mixed with 90's Bass tones. It's something else. but, guess you'd have to like that kind of music to appreciate it.<img src="images/smilies/face-devil-grin.png" border="0" alt="devil" title="devil" /><br /><br />

Between songs I like to take a few photos. This is one of the cows coming home. They`re taken up to the Higher Alps in July and brought home at the end of September..This pic was taken from my garden last week..Last Saturday the big herds were brought down...They were all decorated with highly embroidered collars with HUGE bells hanging from them (The sound is incredible when they`re all together in a herd)
They had wonderful garlands of flowers and grasses attached to their horns and they looked so proud. It`s amazing to think that this is literally on our doorstep. Hope I don`t step in it. Hahaha, lol. I wanted to make the pic bigger but don`t know how.
ehheee<br />

You can go on vacation, have an hour to yourself or attempt to meet a deadline and time hits fast forward and you're battling against the clock, but why, oh why, on a Sunday when you think it's time for dinner it's only 2.30pm and you've had enough of the day already?<br /><br />Let's examine: <br />I've cleaned the apartment, done my washing, showered, made lunch, worked solidly on a track, been to the store to get some things, chatted to the woman in my life for probably an hour and a half and browsed Mixposure, and I crawled outta bed at 9.30. On a Saturday, or any other day of the week it would now be 1am and my day would have been full. <br /><br />Is there a Sunday Conspiracy Theory? Does the world revolve a little slower? Why is there never anything to watch on a Sunday in the UK except re-runs of the stuff that was on during the week? Is there really need for an Omnibus of the 500 soap operas we have here? <br /><br />I know Sunday is a day of rest, but that doesn't mean an extra 60 seconds into every minute so the minute hand doesn't have to move around the clock so fast!!<br /><br />Ahhhhhhh...always good to vent.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, birthday in October. I want a 1 TB pc with a 40 GB memory, 60 inch monitor and a home theater system for cool sound quality<img src="images/smilies/face-devil-grin.png" border="0" alt="devil" title="devil" />
Hi, folks. I have to appologize for being so scarce around here. As some of y'all know, I've been on a five-month work-related detail in Texas since early May. I am wrapping that up Tuesday and will begin the three-day, 1830-mile drive back to New Hampshire around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1<br /><br />There is a good chance I will be moving to Texas sometime before hard winter sets in, or early next year. If the opportunity presents itself, I'll be DFW-bound in a heartbeat. But, the instructing job, combined with three huge projects I've been involved with here in Texas, has eaten up a bunch of time. Hopefully, once I get back, get some vaction time in Maine done, and get settled back "home" (mid October) I will be back here visiting with y'all a bit more often.<br /><br />Finally, I hope you'll check out a few "live" recordings I posted here this morning. They were recorded on Aug. 31 at a festival gig me and my band did in New Hampshire while on a home visit from Texas. <br /><br />These songs ("Rumble". "Skat4Alvin/Living On The Edge", and "Mustang Driving Mama" are rough at best, and represent the mix of the tracks as they went through the master board (we had no control over that feed). I certainly didn't play my best, but the energy more than makes up for it.<br /><br />It's amazing that we pulled it off at all. Because of my detail in Texas, Dave (bass) and Doug (harp) and I hadn't played or practiced together since last October! Kris, the drummer, was amazing -- he has never shared the same room with any of us, even though he is the drummer on most of the "Mustang Driving Mama" CD we finished earlier this year. We captured his drum parts for the CD via electronic track swap, but we never met face-to-face or played together until the day we did this festival.<br /><br />Enjoy the tunes.
