The COVID Orchestra "cards" were put together by myself, based on the brilliant research by Dr, David Martin and video presentations that he had done. I originally created these "cards" because I felt that people needed to be able to put faces to the names to the perpetrators of this crime against humanity. I had some issues with censorship on certain platforms, so I decided to post this here with some music. Which in THIS case, is a song from The Green Rain Project CD - "ToRUTH" from 2014.

The David Bacha Band always loved playing in this intimate setting. The Wee Hideaway was always like HOME and the band regularly had some of their best performances at this tiny Pub. Here is an original tune from the Piece By Piece album. Enjoy.

This song was composed on my Korg 01Wfd with its 16-track sequencer. It was written in 1995 as a part of my debut CD which was entitled ``The Place`` (aka Keyboard Compositions - Volume 1) As I went through my back catalog, I felt that I had many pieces that I would like to upload to my channel, without trying to find enough content to create an entire slideshow. Hence the audio only posts. I will be posting many, many more of these here. Support & Purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

This is my homage to a dear friend. Composed and created entirely on the Korg 01Wfd with its 16-track sequencer. This piece is moody and brooding with a lot of ripping piano tracks and thick orchestrations. Enjoy! If you enjoy my music, please click the "Like" button here and consider subscribing to my channel.

"Herbie's Buds" was written in 2000 as a part of my CD - "My 2000 ACID Experiments" - which refers to the year of creation and to a computer program, rather than a vast number of experiences with LSD. ACID is a loop based computer program that I used, in conjunction with my synthesizer at the time (the Korg 01Wfd) to create this CD. All of these compositions were recorded on a friend's studio computer over the coarse of a few months. Unfortunately, all of the master files for this disc were lost when his hard drive melted down. Fortunately, I had burned a copy of all of the songs to a CD prior to all of the files being lost forever. This video slideshow and the accompanying piece is a little on the dark side. While I realize that there are many benefits to our health from the use of marijuana and its oils and by-products, I also know that the smoking of said product is NOT a healthy choice. Setting fire to anything and breathing it in, is just plain foolish. The title of this song was chosen to go along with the drug theme of the CD, in a very tongue & cheek way. Lots of sound effects and long synthesizer chords were used to create this song, as well as some vocal sound effects, such as the gasping for breath. Shame that no one was there to answer the phone in the end ! I hope that you enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

The David Bacha Band performs Live at The Relax Shack in April of 2012, playing a tune that was written by David in 1969 in his band The Truth. Live video recorded by Groover.

When I was originally commissioned to write this piece back in 1999 to celebrate the New Millennium, I wanted to try to compose something that was powerful and bright and gave out a feeling of happiness and hopefulness for the start of our journey into our third millennium together here on Earth. ( based on when they started counting time in our current format) I decided that the best way to do this was to combine some musical ideas I had written as a youngster at the piano and combine them with some fanfare and several types of orchestrations. (A combination of old and new ideas - which is why I included the first 2 photos in the slideshow, as these represent my ages at those times) I did all of this on my Korg 01Wfd synthesizer with its built in 16-track sequencer. This song appeared on my sixth Keyboard composition CD which was entitled "Passing Through The Pink" - There are a few points in the piece where I exceeded the polyphony of the synth and some minor drop outs are noticeable, but over all I felt the piece turned out very close to what I was looking for and was what I was commissioned to do. Ratings and comments are always appreciated, so please feel free to leave them. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the slideshow.

"Soundtrack For Someone's Seventh Life" was taken from the CD - "You" (aka Keyboard Composition - Volume #9) It was written as an anthem for reincarnation and rebirth and striving to achieve a higher plain in life. As few of us can really say what happens after we pass away, my feelings toward past lives and rebirth are strong, as I suspect that we are returned here again and again until we get it right. This piece of music has several different sections, representing the rebirth of a musical idea in another form. This song was put together with my Korg 01Wfd synthesizer, with its built in 16-track sequencer. Here are my best wishes to you in the hopes that you are able to finally get it all right this time through. Support my art & purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

This song was composed and created entirely on the Korg 01Wfd sythesizer with its built in 16-track sequencer. I originally wrote this piece for the Norman Bates character in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho.' I had composed this piece after a live performance of one of my groups, between 3 am and 7 am, while on tour out in British Columbia, back around 1994 while we were staying in some of the rustic old hotels in Western Canada. Upon reflection though, I thought about all of the mass murderers and psychotic killers that we've taken the time to put on trial, convict and then lock away for life, yet we leave the worst of this group in charge of the country and the military around the world - it is time to wake up and put each and every one of these people away, before we're forced into extinction by our narcissistic tendencies.

D E T was written as my tribute to a very special friend who passed away on Feb 20th, 2004. She was a great friend, an exceptional human being and provided a wealth of guidance through most of my younger years and was like a second mother to me. I had immense love and respect for her and she influenced me in so many positive ways, which could never properly be explained here in this tribute. I think of her very often, especially at this time of year, the month of her birth and death. I miss you terribly Doris and know that you are watching over us. I thank you for your love, trust and kindness always. Support my art & purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

This composition was taken from my CD "You" - it was composed entirely on my Korg 01Wfd synthesizer with its 16-track sequencer. If you want to remember details about anything, write it down, this will help commit it to memory. Perhaps, it is the idea of pulling a selective number of musical notes out of the song to create a melody. I am hopeful that the act of listening to this piece won't conflict with the idea of attempting to read all of the text messages in this slideshow. Definitely a challenge on the first listen to take in all of the details. I am hopeful that you might take a chance and give it a second or third listen. Please fell free to add any comments or criticisms as you see fit. Thanks for taking the time. T as in Taking noTes Support my art & purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

The Splub CD, released in 2008, was comprised entirely of total improvisations. We gathered in a studio with all of our audio and video recording gear and never discussed a thing. We just opened our ears really wide and went for it. There were no overdubs or extra tracks added, this is how it happened . . . as we each processed the information of each piece in our heads and tried to play something appropriate. A wonderful experience for me to play and record with such great players. I put together this slideshow to go along with the 2 other videos that we have posted. I hope that you'll feel free to leave your thoughts and comments about this material.

The Beautiful Blue Danube Waltz is one of Classical Music's greatest hits and was composed by Johann Strauss.. This piece of music was performed & orchestrated on my Korg01Wfd synthesizer with its built in 16 track sequencer. The polyphony limitations of this synthesizer made things difficult to transcribe an 80 piece orchestra, but in the end, things seemed to turn out OK overall. This piece was commissioned by Cube Disc Music and appeared on their Classical Music Greatest Hits CD circa 1998. I hope that you enjoy my version of this piece.

This song was written for my Father. It was composed shortly after his passing on May 17, 2004, as my tribute to him. My Father did not have a very musical background, in fact, I was once told that he had a wooden ear, or was tone deaf. For him, music was either military marches by John Phillip Sousa or any variety of Irish Jigs. Occasionally, he listened to 8 track tapes in his car by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. My attempt here was to try to combine those influences into one piece of music, which was not an easy task, but as difficult as it was to do this, it was still very simple, compared to the job of compiling enough images here to create this slideshow. I have struggled for about 8 years trying to contact all of my relatives to see if there were any images, or video of my Dad. I recently had stumbled across some old super 8mm films that had been transferred to VHS, that I in turn was able to convert to DVD and use in this video/slideshow. I am so pleased to finally be able to present this labour of love and fulfill the promise that I made some 8 years ago today. Thank you for being my Father and for all of the love and support that you gave to me throughout your life and for being the perfect role model for me to base my life upon. I love you Dad. This song is from my "Keyboard Composition - Volume #8" and was created on my Korg 01Wfd synthesizer with it's built in 16-track sequencer.

Beautiful nature shots AND my play on words for the type of music that I perceive this to be . . . Industrial = Tree All In Dust. (In Dust Tree All) This piece was composed entirely on my Korg 01Wfd synthesizer, with a built in 16-track sequencer. I hope you enjoy this piece.

My own little musical interlude, created in the dead of winter. The concept behind the writing of this piece was to bring back my flute playing days of old. I wanted a very simple duet, with classical guitar and a woodwind. I wanted to give the track a little bit more life because of the slower tempo, so I chose to add some percussion to give it a lilting pulse. As is the case with a lot of my compositions, this one was composed entirely on my Korg01Wfd synthesizer, with its built in 16-track sequencer Although, for this tune, I only used 3 tracks. Winterlude was the closing track on my third Keyboard Composition CD entitled "Happy Sad" Please feel free to leave your comments or rate this tune as well. All feedback is welcome. Beat the winter blues and create your own Winterlude. Support my art & purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

This piece was the first in a series of compositions that were written almost entirely on BASS guitar. Blip having been created in late 2005, set the way for me to track and record my BASS stuff at home. All of the electric guitar sounding slide parts and even the glissando synth tones were all produced using my Roland V-Bass rig and my Washburn Status 4 string Bass. These tunes are a blast for me to play and record and they usually happen very quickly, so it is to this end that I have taken it upon myself to write a few new bass driven pieces. I hope this one is working for you. In fact, I might even say that . . . . . I hope this song at least registers a Blip On The Radar Support my art & purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

This piece was composed entirely on my Korg 01Wfd synthesizer. It was originally written back in 1994 on the evening of the vote for the Quebec Referendum and it came down to a simple choice . . . Quebec . . . part of Canada or Not ? It seemed pretty simple to me at the time, being a non-resident of Quebec and fortunately the Quebecer's made the right decision. In making this slideshow, I thought I'd update the concept to include all of the choices that we're forced into making on a daily basis. I hope that 'your' choice is to watch this video slideshow again and again because after all . . . it's your choice ! This song originally appeared on my second Keyboard Composition CD, which is called "Short & Sweet" Support my art & purchase my music HERE: https://timlangan.bandcamp.com/

On any given day each of us is bombarded with a constant stream of images, trying to get us to identify a specific product or name to a "face". Of the endless stream of models who try to promote these items, ONE stands out of the crowd for me. Sung Hi Lee is elegance, beauty, grace and style all wrapped up in one perfect package. SHE is THE ONE ! I am hopeful that you'll enjoy my piece of music and the accompanying slideshow that I've assembled for you here.

Looks Like Reign (who later became The Harrison Fjord) recorded this piece in 1993 at Spike Sound Studio in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. There have been a number of versions of this track, dating back to the mid-eighties, with a different assortment of vocalists and vocal tracks, but this one in particular, has always been the one for me. The composition has a bit of a dated sound but, over all the performances here are still quite good. I feel that both Nick and Lisa sang their asses off and were true professionals on this session. Keep on rockin Nick, I love what you do ! Lisa Erskine was also a huge talent for us and a dream to work with. Sadly, she was taken from us. Rest in peace dear Lisa. Please enjoy these Looks Like Reign posts, as they were never released commercially. They appear here as a 15 year old footnote in the history and heritage of The Harrison Fjord. Please feel free to verbally spew forth in the comments section and rate this tune as you see fit. We hope that you will enjoy it and come back for more.

Guy Zerafa asked Greg Critchley and I to come to Lydian Sound Studios in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada on August 6th, 1996. When we arrived and set up our gear and we asked him what he was hoping to have us play, and all he said was "play something funky." Greg started laying down a groove and I started grooving along with him. We did this for about 30 minutes and Guy told us that he had more than enough music to work with, given the 5 or 6 ideas that we had laid down in that thirty minutes. He then took the recordings from that day to his friend, and studio engineer, Wayne Brauer. Guy had Wayne lay down some funky guitar tracks and mixed the audio and the results are here for you to hear for yourself. I had long forgotten about the music that was recorded in this session almost twenty years ago. Recently, I reached out to Wayne and Guy and was informed that our friend Guy Zerafa had passed away. At this time, Wayne informed me that he had some music that I had recorded in 1996 and forwarded all of the files from that session along to me. After listening to the audio, I was astonished with the overall sound quality and the next day, I reached out to Greg and passed these grooves and ideas along to him. It was through this process, that we all discussed the concept of putting this music up on the web, I felt it necessary to put together these slideshows, as a tribute to our mutual friend, and the person who brought Greg, Myself and Wayne together, This was the 5th idea that we recorded that day. R.I.P - Guy Zerafa You will be missed greatly.
