All My Shields Were Down A simple love song that I have written both music and lyrics for. Lots of acoustic guitar. I sing the song myself though I am not a schooled singer. The guitar is actually played in the WI Guitar app on an iPad and sent to Logic as Midi live as I play it. A great way to play guitar with no skill at all. Requires some practice for a few days though.	26 Oct 2011	Pop
Amid The Roses This is quiet song I wrote inspired by a poem by John Banister Tabb. It was originally published in a book "Child verse; poems grave and gay" (1899). When you read this poem a melody automatically happens in your mind. This is the one I heard inside my head and recorded. I sing it softly because to me this is the obvious lullaby. A father sitting at side of the bed of his child and singing a quiet song. In the improved version 2 I have listened to the good feedback and changed the balance in the instruments. I also changed the piece between the verses adding a new theme on the violins and moved the old theme to cellos and damped it down. The last piece also has some small modifications. Vocals have been worked hard on.	26 Oct 2011	Classical
Hey Folks Hey Folks - a folk song. It is mainly meant to be a song that puts a smile on your face.	25 Oct 2011	Pop
First Impression The first jazz piece I composed and recorded. It is very traditional and very Danish in its nature. A bit like a TV theme from the late 70s. Easy to listen to. I do not really play the piano so I practiced and practiced and took it bit by bit. A real jazz pianist would have made a better job. But the project was mainly to prove to myself that I could write a jazz tune.	24 Oct 2011	Jazz
Cold Beer On A Quiet Night Imagine yourself outside on a summer night. Not a wind. And you have served yourself a nice cool beer. That is the mood I pictured inside myself as I composed this song. It is simple. It is pretty rough sound. But it is exactly how I wanted it. Plain and honest.	23 Oct 2011	Rock
Easy Easy - a slow blues about a rather pathetic man who is happily married but cannot forget an old girlfriend that left him. Vocals, Lyrics and basic melody:: Jan Mathorne Arrangements and solos, Music played by: Kenneth Lavrsen This is a blues that my colleague Jan Mathorne sings. I play the instruments and did the mixing. Jan wrote the lyrics and the basic melody. And he challenged me to do the arrangements and record all the instruments. A challenge I could not say no to. Unlike myself, Jan has trained his voice for many years both in barbershop group and in choirs. I have Jan's permission to upload our collaborative work here.	22 Oct 2011	Blues
Three By Four in C Major I challenged myself to make a piece of classical music and this was the result. My dream is to hear this one day played by a real orchestra. It actually started its life on an iPad in Garageband. I was playing with the acoustic guitar in Garageband and recorded the chords as muted chords and the beat turned out to be in a 3/4. I pulled it into Logic Studio and before I knew it I had a theme going. And then I just started adding more and more instruments and added more parallel themes. End result is a short piece of classic music with strong ear hanger melody lines and a big sound. Not quite the traditional orchestra setup. There is also 12-string guitar in the line-up. Enjoy.	22 Oct 2011	Classical
Values It is hard to tell what kind of music this is. It has a hard slow metallic beat. It uses symphonic classical instruments and male and female choirs mixed with very electronic sounding instruments. It is ambient. It is classical. It is big sound but with a relaxing mood. One gave the comment that it music of the Vangelis music tradition. That is a good description. It sounds like some of this later live performances where he used a real orchestra to back him up with choir and strings etc.	20 Oct 2011	Electronica
