Many moons ago I had a song called Your Touch. Having just passed a New Moon, it seems fitting that a new version of Your Touch is nearing completion. The draft lyrics have been written. Now I let them simmer while I mull over them, sing along with them and generally hang out with them. I’ll also record some demo vocals and perhaps record a live version of the song to see how it feels.
Your Touch is part of a collection of songs inspired by recent events. I am hoping to release the songs as soon as I can. So I’d best get on writing and recording. But the picture and my words above should give a little insight into my songwriting process. I’ll explain more in the weeks ahead.

This past week, I have been working on several new music tracks. The way they are coming together, and new tracks seem to be wanting to join in, it feels like this could be a new album. I want to avoid committing at the moment, but it is beginning to feel that way. This week’s creative prompt is heat, which is apt as it feels like the creative heat is rising. A new album could be on the way. It’s a long way off, but the muse is beginning to weave her magic.
The current track list is:
Astral Visions
The Sun and the Moon
The Path
Your Touch (soon)
I know that is only four songs, but a couple of days ago it was only two. At this rate of growth, I might have the album outline by next Monday. And, seeing as Mondays are Music Mondays, I’ll keep you up to date.
Meanwhile, and to tie into the weekly creative prompt, here’s a version of Heat by Soft Cell that I found on that YouTube. Someone has spliced the recorded audio with an old TV recording, enjoy.

Due to a series of fortunate events, I was motivated into putting more of my music out into the world. A few years ago I released Pilgrimage and possibilities, and Transformation and freedom on Bandcamp. Since then, I have shared the music on Patreon. I have used it as background music on my YouTube videos and allowed others to use it. (And if any of you would like some music, please ask, it is a pleasure to create and share.)
Back to the series of events. Dianne Fago Art used one of the tracks from Transformation on a recent video. Now YouTube has an automatic copyright infringement detection tool. This clever AI goes through any music and video at the upload stage and flags content that belongs to someone else. This enables the copyright holder to get their fair share of advertising royalties. In theory, this is good. In practice, it doesn’t always work.
As Dianne was uploading her video, the music was flagged as belonging to someone else. Unfortunately, that person wasn’t me. The AI had got things mixed up and now there is the rigmarole of sorting it out. To point out that the AI had got things wrongs, I uploaded the piece of music to YouTube, and it didn’t get flagged. Here it is…
This isn’t the only incidence. I remember another piece of mine being flagged a few years back. Things should have improved by now, but they haven’t. Just the other week, someone on YouTube was going through a similar infringement issue when a singing bowl they were playing live was spotted by the AI. I know some people are afraid of Artificial Intelligences taking over the world, but I think it might be a way off.
Back to the music. Having remembered I had those two albums on Bandcamp, I decided to share them further. I jumped over to distrokid, where I was planning on releasing some music later this year, and set up an immediate release. If you follow the links below, you’ll now find Pilgrimage and Transformation on all the major (and many minor) streaming platforms. From Apple and Amazon to Pandora and Spotify, whatever music site you use, you’ll find my music. Alternatively, simply search for this temple eden and you’ll find me.

Today is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. I wrote a piece of music inspired by the Solstice and I am sharing aversion of it with you today. You can listen (and watch) below or click through to watch on YouTube, where you could also subscribe to my channel if you would like.
I wrote a piece of music for the Christmas holidays. I now offer it to you. You can hear it below or download to keep and listen anytime you want. I hope it brings you a little pleasure in these difficult times. As you hear the bells jingle raise a prayer or intention and perhaps you’ll receive that Christmas miracle.
Please share this page with anyone you think might like to have a little uplifting tune
If you like the music be sure to check out my Bandcamp page and this temple eden homepage, where you’ll find more music and related news and information. In the meantime, enjoy the holidays safely when they arrive and have a lovely weekend.
