Ship on the Horizon

Inka binka ball of 
Ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Cause here on the island 
It’s cold and it’s violent 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

The children they say it 
In their rhyme games they play it 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Tsunami is brewing 
It could be our ruin 
Don’t let it sink that ship on the horizon 
Look up in the sky now 
Children learn to fly now 
You can up and fly right off this island 
Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Mother nature’s got the ocean 
Put on your boots you’ve got the notion 
To splash in the rain 
I know you want to
Jump in every puddle of water

Inka binka ball of ink is in the water 
There’s got to be a ship on the horizon

Ship on the Horizon

Harpsichord On A Box Spring

File Updated: Added What I be (Michael Franti) section and It's a Fine Day (Opus 3) section. Emphasised the Carly Simon and NIN samples too better. One clear vocal line starting to emerge now


An important note:
This could obviously be considered suggestive.
I am strongly against the intense sexualisation we see in society. However I find it annoying that you need to tip toe around that when coming at it from from an honest non suggestive point of view like I am. Limiting art for the wrong reasons is not evolution and limits the thinking of younger people...

Taking that power back! My only intention in this song is to project and maybe even protect the funk! So I stand by it and I don't mean to offend anyone. Cancel culture only gets fixed when we have proper conversations about hard topics and suggestiveness can be both positively and negatively poignant for us I suppose...

If after reading this your still offended... Have another listen... Your life needs more funk imo... 

I have two daughters and one son. 9, 4 & 6.. Rising above the bullshit vein sexualisation of humanity will be their ticket and I'll help them flap those wings with songs like this. What does it achieve..? Enjoying words and ideas for what they are in the real world...  I'm hoping I'm transcending sexualisation with my intention and they'll be taught that when the time is right. What other adults make of this is none of my business...

If you read the words there is my non sexual intention in every single idea...

This is a very important thing society needs to learn for me. More widespread critical thinking. This train of thought reminds me of the Columbine shooting where so many young souls lost their lives needlessly. Most powerful circles blamed Marylyn Manson and other perceived brands of fear. Lyrically, when you read him, this couldn't be further from the truth .. Power circles with bias motives will always blame whoever they can creating cancel culture. We don't have to eat at their table though


Songs to consider for this:
-Cant touch this - MC Hammer
-Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice
-Michael Franti ~ What I be
-Its a fine Day ~ Olive
-Blackbird ~ Song without Words (pitch shifted)
-Ocean between the Waves - The War on Drugs


Mashup of my collaboration with Oj22, Summer Ball / No, You Don't by NIN & You're so Vain by Carly Simon. Kudos to Super Acid Sunshine for that idea! This was in his mind for our project, The Sith and thats why i thought of it today ~ Will fix the prominence of the other two ideas just need to let it simmer for a bit and will bring them to the foreground nicely...
need to record the 'you're so vain' bit better and then should find one lead vocal to knit it all throughout... Very happy with this result so far



Adjust below funk me's to mention all the artists that end up in it and give them a relevant rhyme and shout out

Provocative because sexualistion is a problem for humanity! But for Carl and the family... It's deep thought 

Funk me

Mysterious Minds

File Update 3: Added Electric guitar

File Update 2: Added cello and viola sections throughout

File Update 1: Bass / Piano and more solid vocal delivery in... Its just spinning plates


Money really is the route of our evil. In this song I made a nice connection with Earth having never really had anything to do with money. It doesn't give a shit what we do but it will cycle and change to rebalance based on what we do...

Money is really the poison of our spirits. Or at least because it's so attached to materialism then way too many of us wake up and go asleep and in-between.. just work for money...

We've created this amazing. tool called AI which we are being sold as making our lives better.. ok how? There's enough money in the world to feed everyone... we now have this amazing AI to do all that work... So where's the lifestyle shift coming from towards the greater good. It's bullshit because the top 1% of the capitalistic shit heap will benefit from AI and people won't unless we demand that. Meanwhile most get tunnel visioned programming it with LLMs making it easier for that top 1% to manipulate the situation...


Where are people doing whatever they want more with their own lives... Not seeing enough of it yet but I'm hoping we get there... Like poisonous ideas latch on quickly... Positive ones should too when enough people latch onto them and project that. We learn empathy from each other according to emotional intelligence experts so maybe we have to stop projecting how fucked the world is and start amplifying the little bits of light that make it amazing and give us a future ♻️

TITLE:  PLAYED FOR A FOOL
_______________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
He rolled into town with a sly, crooked grin,
A charm so smooth, it could cover his sins.
He whispered sweet nothings under the moon,
But every word he spoke was a loaded tune.
(Verse 2)
She gave him her heart, like a trusting child,
Believed in his stories, his ways so wild.
He promised her sunsets, forever, and more,
But left her crying on that old porch floor.
(Chorus)
Oh, he played her for a fool, like a pawn in his game,
Left her in the shadows, drowning in shame.
He took all her love, then broke every rule,
Oh, he’s just a man who played her for a fool.
(Verse 3)
She stitched up her heart, though the scars run deep,
Learned that some promises are too hard to keep.
Now she stands taller, won’t fall for the lies,
The man’s just a shadow she left behind.
(Bridge)
But in the quiet of night, when the wind starts to hum,
She remembers the tune of the man she succumbed.
Her tears have dried, but the lesson’s still clear,
She’ll never again let a liar draw near.
(Chorus)
Oh, he played her for a fool, like a pawn in his game,
Left her in the shadows, drowning in shame.
He took all her love, then broke every rule,
Oh, he’s just a man who played her for a fool.
(Chorus)
Oh, he played her for a fool, like a pawn in his game,
Left her in the shadows, drowning in shame.
He took all her love, then broke every rule,
Oh, he’s just a man who played her for a fool.

Empty Love Fosters Fiery Recompense

Played For A Fool

THIS WORLD IS GONE
If this world is so connected
Why do I feel so alone?
Bell’s gotta be rollin’ in his grave
What they did to his telephone
‘Cuz sometimes days go by
Without talkin’ to anyone
I don’t need to run away
This world is gone

[Chorus]
And I’m holdin’ on by a thread
Among the walkin’ dead
Singin’ the same sad song
This world is gone

Now, the Pope has passed away
As WOKE as this pope was
Whoever takes his place, I suspect
Will be nobody you can trust
They say it’s all about progress
But all I see are dead men’s bones
And when A.I. fully kicks in
This world is gone

[Chorus]
And I’m holdin’ on by a thread
Among the walkin’ dead
Singin’ the same sad song
This world is gone

Oooh-oooh, Oooh-oooh, yeah

[Chorus]
I’m holdin’ on by a thread
Among the walkin’ dead
Singin’ the same sad song
This world is gone
This world is gone.

Latest Updates: 
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.
