A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible! Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song. Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart. The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Story behind the song
Started out playing my virtual guitar (doing some chord licks) and then heard the violin part. After that, I put the piano in there for contrast. Hope you like it.

Sweet song and mix. I really enjoyed the violin and piano and the bass movement was subtly sweet as well. That last minute of bass 'jam session' was bitter - sweet... because it sounded so good and then faded... Lots to love about this song... Did I say sweet? :-)

My Mahavishnu radar reacted to this one.. (Mahavishnu was my religion during the seventhies and eighties...) Like Al says: Some serious playing here Arlen! Very very good work on that violin. And the theme is very cool. Awesome work my friend!

Love the violin piano combination. Sounds terrific, and nice solo's...Serious playing here dude. Sensational production. I noticed that your drums sit a bit differently in the mix than some of your previous work. Love it... perfect.
