I'm sure some of you are familiar with Mike Milillo the composer, but may have been unaware that he is a gifted sax player as well. He has rediscovered his passion for playing, and I am fortunate to have him play on my latest track ... AEON GROOVE.
Aeon is Greek for an immeasurable amount of time, and that is how I view this piece. The beginning and end are an infectious straight time groove that could go on forever. The middle section is also straight time, but with an extremely syncopated keyboard line that was loosely played live over a seven measure structure, after which it repeats again on the downbeat.
I'm trying to blur the line between complexity, and groove, to find new ways to create music.

Hi Brian, ooooh just love the sax intro to this, (my fave. Beautiful sultry and haunting. This is a wonderful piece of music all round, with all the different sounds you offer, you never quite know where you are being taken with you're imagination. Very artistic and super! Wishing you well, Melsi

Very cool and full of all the good stuff. The sax is inspired. Love the break in the middle. I think the way you bring it back to the main theme with the light drum fills is great - (are those live drums?).
Ahh - gently fades out.... fantastic!

<p>I was a professional drummer for 15 of the last 35 or so years, playing clubs, concerts, and studio work. About 13 years ago I found it too limiting, so began writing around a midi keyboard setup and my computer. I spend most of my time developing piano and synthesizer lines for my music. My style is an eclectic mix of influences being a mix of Progressive, Psychedelic, Classic Rock, SciFi , Soundtracks, Classical, Jazz, New Age and Electronic music. Most songs are mixed genre ... but they do vary quite a bit, so if you don't find something you like, try something else. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the musical journey. Brian</p>
