The UN's Panel on Climate Change, August 2021 states; 
“It is unequivocal that humans are warming the planet. The warming has made changes to our planet that are irreversible on timescales of centuries.
The oceans will warm. Glaciers will melt. For much of this, there is no going back.”
Scientists say a catastrophe can be avoided if the world acts fast.
                 There is no time for delay and no room for excuses.
                             This is a “Code Red” for humanity.

This piece was a long work in progress...so grateful to have finished it, to have had the honor of coloring with these brilliant crayons:

The mix is named after a Star Trek TNG episode ,"Children of Tamar". Picard and the gang were trying to establish relations with people who only spoke in obscure metaphors. The 2 captains were beamed down to the planet to learn communication through engaging in battle together...a common goal. 
Music is a universal language....for emotional expression and common ground. These 3 guys from Skeleton Key came together to play some fantastic , well grounded , industrial metal and it is my honor to have been allowed to use their music in this mix. Please check them out as well as the rest of the pallet please.....

SKELETON KEY - Skeleton Key (Tamarian Mix)

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗮 𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮 nasce do contacto revisitado entre a minha música e a poesia do Nuno Mangas-Viegas, com quem tenho partilhado esta sincronia entre som e palavra de tantas formas e há tanto tempo.
Musicalmente este tema é uma expressão muito autêntica de "onde eu estou agora", no que toca à forma como oiço música, componho e toco.

O poema "Queima o fogo a lenha" faz parte do livro de poesia e fotografia "Súbito Silente" e pode ser comprado aqui: https://particularec.bandcamp.com/merch/s-bito-silente-poesia-e-fotografia 

João Svayam : percussão (darbuka, tadu, cajon, djembe)cordas (guitar, bass), voz cantada
Nuno Mangas-Viegas : poema e voz declamada

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗮 𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗴𝗼 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮 is born from the revisited contact between my music and the poetry of Nuno Mangas-Viegas, with whom I have shared this synchrony between sound and word in so many ways and for so long.
Musically this theme is a very authentic expression of "where I am now", in terms of how I listen to music, compose and play.

The poem "Queima o fogo a lenha" is part of the poetry and photography book "Súbito Silente" and can be purchased here: https://particularec.bandcamp.com/merch/s-bito-silente-poesia-e-fotografia

Queima O Fogo A Lenha

Sometimes I just need to music without words

I Was Looking For Art  Then I Saw You

Sur un texte fort et malheureusement toujours d'actualité de Jean-Claude Manceau

On a strong and unfortunately still topical text by Jean-Claude Manceau

Souvenez-vous !

Souvenez-vous !
Des autos chargées de matelas
Dans le ciel, la ronde des Stukas.
Dix millions de Français en déroute 
Fourbus, bombardés sur les routes.
Souvenez-vous !

« Des vélos, des tandems, des brouettes
Les odeurs de ferme des charrettes,
Paysannes, chapelet en main »*
Sans savoir ce que sera demain.
Souvenez-vous !

Des marcheurs, maisons sur le dos.
Dix sous pour un simple verre d’eau,
La quête épuisante pour manger
Trouver du lait pour les bébés.
Souvenez-vous !

Des chats, des chiens abandonnés 
Ces bêtes, errantes affamées,
Et une petit fille en pleurs,
Ces vaches meuglant de douleur.
Souvenez-vous !

Un convoi de cyclistes
Tant de morts sur la piste,
Des guimbardes calcinées,
Des corps dans les fossés.
Souvenez-vous !

« La France marchait,
La France boitait. » *
Sombre période.
C’était l’exode.

Alors, bonnes gens,
Les migrants…

Paroles de Jean-Claude Manceau, éd. Parole et poésie, 2020
*d’après « Le peuple du désastre » d’Henri Amouroux, éd. Robert Laffont, 1976
Musique de Myckaël Marcovic, 02 mars 2023

Remember!

Remember!
Cars loaded with mattresses
In the sky, the circle of Stukas.
Ten million French people in disarray
Exhausted, bombed on the roads.
Remember!

“Bicycles, tandems, wheelbarrows
The farm smells of the carts,
Peasant women, rosary in hand”*
Without knowing what will be tomorrow.
Remember!

Walkers, houses on the back.
Ten sous for a simple glass of water,
The exhausting quest to eat
Find milk for babies.
Remember!

Abandoned cats, dogs
These beasts, wandering hungry,
And a crying little girl,
Those cows mooing in pain.
Remember!

A convoy of cyclists
So many deaths on the track,
charred jew's harps,
Bodies in the ditches.
Remember!

“France marched,
France was limping. » *
Dark period.
It was exodus.

So, good people,
Migrants...

Words by Jean-Claude Manceau, ed. Parole et poésie, 2020

𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚈𝚘𝚞.

I have played and recorded in international settings, a multitude of percussion instruments, guitar, bass, harmonica, some flutes, keyboard, and if you push me - a very fine jaw harp.

In fact, if I break it down.... I just love to offer-up music, in a living room, a bar, a concert hall or an intercontinental, interactive satellite coordinated concert. 
  
I became fascinated with percussive sounds from around the world… especially African and Latin American rhythms. I fanatically traveled the world collecting anything that you could bang, scrape or hit.
What I learned? Border customs people really don’t appreciate the true value of handmade African caxixi shakers or a Brazilian berimbau. They just want the serial number.
More importantly, a single clicking or ringing sound in a song can make or break that song.
  
I toured Canada, USA and Europe and recorded many “world music” albums (before it was called that), with my late, musical soul mate, Dario Domingues. We played in grand churches, the water reservoirs under Munich, on an island where 100,000 doves were released at the climax of our performance, the first-ever “simulcast”, live satellite, intercontinental concert and then, the humbling experience of being involved in Berlin, in front of 500,000 people, for a series of anti-apartheid concerts featuring ‘Sting’.  For our 'world music' efforts, we were awarded the Deutscher Schallplattenpreisan (1983) accolade by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie, an association of recording companies of Germany that recognizes outstanding achievement in the music industry.  
What I learned? Music is truly a universal language. Around the world people are drawn to music. Of course, different strokes for different folks! 
Whether you play in front of a half-million people in a field, or 10 people in a bar, your role as a musician never changes.  
 
“Dream of the Drum” – I was commissioned to compose and conduct a score for 40+ percussionists from all corners of the world... Jamaican fire dancers, Trinidadian steel drummers, Japanese kodo drummers, African djembe players, military drummers,... the list goes on.
What I learned? The language of music respects no geographic borders. 
Also, never start your outdoor concert, with a lone Native Elder's rain drum song. The drum's magic works!
 
I helped build three innovative recording studios plus, my current production studio. I academically taught musical acoustics and production for several years.
What I learned? All the mathematics and physics in the world can’t replace a good ear.
 
As a producer, I've had the wonderful opportunity to work in great studios in NYC and Nashville with amazing session musicians such as: Eric "Roscoe" Ambel - best known as lead guitarist of Steve Earle’s band the Dukes; Dan Baird of the chart-topping 'Georgia Satellites'; guitarist extraordinaire, Warner E. Hodges, founding member of 'Jason and the Scorchers'.
What I learned? Great musicians tend to be humble but they sure have opinions! In Nashville, I was bluntly told -"No, I won't raise the tom level - in country music, we use toms for holding our bourbon glass." I never did get the toms louder.
 
I spent many years as President of the Ottawa International Jazz Festival and met some of the greatest musical geniuses in the world.
What I learned? "Man, if you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know."
 
Music for jingles on radio and TV. Documentaries.
My personal favourite was coming up with suitable music for the mating rituals of pigs or, how to create 60 minutes of Arctic wind sounds for the movie 'Never Cry Wolf'.  
What I learned?  You can tell an entire story in a 29.5 second radio jingle and music is the glue that holds a great video together.
