Amazing work on the atmosphere and the beat. Very nice piece!

"Strawberries", demo, 2023

Continuing with my revival project.
This is a new recording of a very old song of mine written back in my university days.   I studied engineering but I never practiced and eventually became a supply chain guy in the I.T. industry.   I hesitated in sharing this one because when I listen to it now so many years later, it really doesn't mean much. It was all aroused by the inferior complex of being in a second stream college.

Just hope you would still like the song.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
There was once an erratic city					
	Inside was a few dominant factories				
With the principles of jigs & fixtures					
	Making components to build up the picture				
					
There's a product A and there's a product B					
	In fact there is not much difference in quality				
Brand A produced a smaller quantity					
	By logic it’s of a higher degree				
					
"Brand A is much more expensive					
	(but) their reputation sure fits me well"				
That's what the customers said					
	Never mind the technical detail…………				
					
Oh well, here they go				
	Inject materials and do the show			
Choose the speed, apply the feed,				
	Leave to the machines to complete			
				
Which way does the wind blow				
	Don't ever ask us, we don't know			
Fourier Series, Surface Integral,				
	Daily routines, off we go………….			
				
Here we are, back in the mixture				
	of lousy jigs & inaccurate fixtures			
As long as we can build up the picture				
	Who will care about the surface texture ?

Jigs & Fixtures

Like most of the guys playing parts on this song, this one's a pretty special one for me, because of my dad's love for country music and being an amazing guitarist who was a big influence on me to play music. Thanks to Josh for reaching out to invite us along for this one, and to all the guys for putting their hearts into the performances here!

Dedicated to Dad.

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Lead and harmony vocals, synth guitar intro, auxiliary percussion, mix, arrangement, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, banjo, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and vocal harmonies
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, mandolin, and lap steel

This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured his son, Marshall, singing the lead with him, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to elder Clary. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. 
 
 The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 
  After presenting Josh's dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the John Denver, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break in the middle now. He also added the guitar lick around the beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his terrific harmonies. Mark threw down a harmony line as well during the verse, and one of the 2 high chorus harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

(song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver)

"The Golden Point (From Soulless Point Game)" is an EP released on March 7, 2023, conceived as the soundtrack for the early stages of the psychological game Soulless Point, currently in development by Per Triangle Productions. The game, set in an abandoned asylum with a PSX aesthetic and inspired by titles like Half-Life 1 and Portal 2, proposes the player a solitary and claustrophobic escape—and the EP embraces this atmosphere.

The opening track, "The Golden Point," delves into IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) territory, punctuated by sound effects (SFX) that suggest footsteps echoing in empty corridors, creaking doors, and flashing electric monitors. The rhythm is fragmented and unpredictable, evoking tension and uncertainty—perfect for a game where the goal is to escape a place that feels alive.

The remaining tracks transition into a universe of acoustic pop and ambient pop, serving as a counterpoint: soft acoustic guitar melodies, subtle piano, ethereal synths, and diffuse pads. These themes function as emotional reflections, possibly tied to the main character's narrative—moments of pause amidst the chaos, sensory memories, sounds from the past, or glimmers of hope, designed to humanize the player's experience.

"The Golden Point" functions as a balance point between extremes: the electronic chaos of IDM and the spiritual calm of ambient pop, as does the game's transition between imminent threat and reflective interludes. The EP showcases Ramon Inc. exploring the boundaries between gameplay music and authorial identity, creating a soundtrack that serves both gameplay and solo listening.

The Golden Point's epilogue is sonorously and emotionally strategic—where each escape process becomes music.
It's the sound of doors closing and memories turning on—mission and melody intertwined.

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.

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.

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.
