Bande originale d'un film jamais tourné 

The Bat Man

A song about that friend back in the day who never done a days graft and lived off the bank of mom and dad. Always plenty of money to indulge his party habits and a few more to say the least.
Nearly cost him his life but fortunately it didn’t and eventually learned a valuable lesson. He has his only family now and just hopes they are more sensible than himself in the teenage years.

7Saturdays 

V1 
Bank rolled by mom & dad 
Never done a days graft 
Maxed it out to  the max 
 everything you have had
(So many laughs actin daft 
 big allowances what a blast 
We envy you as young men
Out on the town pissed by ten )


Chorus 
Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night 
a 7 day weekend 
nearly killed you in the end 
And all you had to say 
is what a way  to go 
Wow Ho Ho Ho x2
Seven Saturdays in a row 
Wow Ho Ho Ho
Seven Saturdays in a row

V2 1.50 
Youth  is wasted on the young 
you lived it out in every song 
That saying doesn’t  fit 
it’s just a load of chicken shit 
still talk about them days 
Coming  close to the grave 
thank god  you were saved 
Still here for the grace of  age

M/8
It funny how life come around in a full circle 
Your Kids  are now all  teenagers
Your preaching for your mercy 


Chorus 
Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night 
a 7 day weekend 
Nearly killed  you in the end 
And all you had to say 
is what a way  to go 
Wow Ho Ho Ho 
Seven Saturdays in a row 
Wow Ho Ho Ho
Seven Saturdays in a row

Outro

Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night 
a 7 day weekend 
Nearly killed you in the end

Seven Saturdays   :   Conscience of Kings

Future Funk Vol.2

Un hommage à Rimbaud, à la vie faite d'errance et d'erreurs, d'absolue beauté aussi, à tous ceux dont les rêves les plus fous ont fini par façonner la réalité , aux antipodes de nos pragmatiques  sans souffle et au petit pied. On peut leur préférer le Poète et ses "semelles de vent". (Le morceau est long, je sais, je m'en excuse, mais le texte est long aussi et la musique se veut un peu comme un voyage)
 PAROLES
Gentil poète
Trafiquant d’armes
Tu t’es perdu dans les sables
 Non loin d’Addis Abeba
Pourquoi le si lointain là-bas ? 

Gentil poète 
Trafiquant d’armes
Pourquoi avoir rompu le charme ?
 Ton amitié avec Verlaine
Le tendre Automne et ses violons
 L’enfance chère aux étrennes
 Tout l’or des Illuminations.

Gentil poète
Trafiquant d’armes
Tu t’es perdu dans les sables
 Non loin d’Addis Abeba
Pourquoi le si lointain là-bas ? 

Gentil poète 
Trafiquant d’armes
Entre la violence et le rêve
La guerre aussi tu l’as connue
La tête en l’air, la tête nue.
Comme si tu te fuyais toi-même
Tu as écrit tous tes poèmes
« Je est un autre », nous disais-tu.

Gentil poète
Trafiquant d’armes
Ange ou démon, Dormeur du val,
 Tes rêves se firent caravanes
Comme d’autres fument des Havane.

Ton Bateau ivre dans tous les ports
 De Marseille, de Massaoua ou Djedda
Tes poèmes d’âme et de corps
Pourquoi le si lointain là-bas ?

Nouvelles Voyelles, nouvelles fièvres
Ton cri moderne sur nos lèvres
 Ton cri encore nous libère
 De toutes les Saisons en enfer.

Gentil poète
Trafiquant d’armes
Tu t’es perdu dans les sables
Non loin d’Addis Abeba
Pourquoi le si lointain là-bas ?

Nice poet
Arms trafficker
You got lost in the sands
 Not far from Addis Ababa
Why the so far away there? 

Nice poet 
Arms trafficker
Why did you break the spell?
 Your friendship with Verlaine
The tender Autumn and its violins
 Childhood dear to gifts
 All the gold of the Enlightenment.

Nice poet
Arms trafficker
You got lost in the sands
 Not far from Addis Ababa
Why the so far away there? 

Nice poet 
Arms trafficker
Between violence and dreams
The war you also knew her
Head up, head bare.
As if you were running away from yourself
You wrote all your poems
"I'm another," you told us.

Nice poet
Arms trafficker
Angel or demon, Dormeur du val,
 Your dreams were caravanned
Like others smoke Havana.

Your Drunk Boat in All Ports
 From Marseille, Massawa or Jeddah
Your poems of soul and body
Why the so far away there?

New Vowels, New Fevers
Your modern cry on our lips
 Your cry again sets us free
From all the Seasons to hell.

Nice poet
Arms trafficker
You got lost in the sands
Not far from Addis Ababa
Why the so far away there?

From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
