Human Light

For Virginia Guiffre Tempo is 41 BPM to mark the age Virginia was when she passed and key of G major for her surname. I used the nicest sounding pad that began with V in logic, a Vowel Pad. The piece has an 80's beat marking the decade Virginia was born, a few pea head voices, piano, minimalistic psychedelic electric lead, one plec acoutsic rhythm run and one acoustic picked run with harmonics. I'll add more as it comes to mind Rest in Peace Virginia🕯️ Chords are // G / Bm / D / C // G / Bm / D

Upload 777. Can't think of a better subject for that. Peace 🕊️ De-radicalisation can begin with acceptance of each other and acknowledgement of the radicles that exist within both societies poisoning the planet for the ordinary people that just want to live. Jews/Arabs/Secularists/Christians etc etc. Much love from a pea to you all 🫛 Here's to a lasting peace being found. We won't find it with an overblown ego we will find it with our hearts and compassion for eachother We found peace in

Heart

2025/10/06

Broke my rot.... Decided to write one about the heart and it stuck. Had a good few days of everything I tried sounding the same and needed that reset ❤️‍🔥 Thanks Heart 🫡 If we are lucky enough to grow old it will beat around three billion times and pump 159 million litres of blood through itself and around our body. What a beast 🫀 I'm trying to make sense or pay homage to the filterer it is for morals. In conjunction with a well wired head it's the feelings in our chest that work with the brain

Kardia

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/09/29

Kardia is 1 year old soon so I decided to completely redo my vocal. I think it's closer to the timbres I want now. Kardia was inspired by my Auntie and spiritual seer when she asked me to write a positive song. I decided to base it on the core of our beings and in the light of what we project from ourselves out onto the world and each other. Positivity is our key to balance and in my opinion, survival. With Kardia, musically, I stopped limiting myself with what other people thought about what I

We are Sound

Whatever about the song... In the pic we get my Daughter Alma's (4) tree, she calls it "Tree Flower" When I got it for her she said, Eh Dad it doesn't have a pink flower... So Alma fixed that with it's name. How cute man. It's still her favourite plant in the garden inspite of it not having pink flower. In Ireland we have a widely used euphemism to describe anything good. That's 'sound' of you man! Let's all be sound please, for Alma! If we are going to believe in anything on this wonderful planet
