Dope track Laura! You should google 'bullet rank', they are promoters that give 500 free plays to anybody!

Ever wondered what would happen if you combined David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes", with Britney Spear's "Hit me baby one more time"? Ha Ha! Well if you weren't before, then surely you are now? Here is my original take on interspersing these two iconic songs played by a band & me fronting the outfit on keyboards & lead vocals. Enjoy!!

Bardo I: “Enter the Mystic” (11:09)
An open ominous drone appears upon the horizon, introducing a new surreal drama. Out of this nebulous tone a dark cluster emerges insinuating a frightful hue (1:15). We hear for the first time, the raining succession of two intervals of the sixth sounding in the violins and cellos, known in many ancient traditions as the

“Mystic Interval”(1:55).
A series of grounded, heavy, thick chords strikes us and we are led into Bardo I, an earthly portal of desire and attachment. (2:48) Beginning from a place of shame and confusion, the “Fool” commences his spiritual journey. He yearns to find an insight of peace through liberation from the powerful gravitational pull of his negative perceptions. The swirl of these serpentine, self-destructive emotional states fluctuate between gradual swells of inspired yearning, empowered by nostalgic memory and the inherent struggle to transcend the abyssal trap of
these destructive mental formations.
This yearning finally culminates in a breakthrough (7:43), as an intuitive aspect of his consciousness drives the Fool to directly face the churning storm of dark destiny emanating from his own mind. With a newfound but naive determination (8:01), his gaze turns directly within, as he crosses the threshold marking the source of his intensive suffering (8:57). In this deeper recess of awareness, the Fool is brought unto the scheming presence of the tyrannical Oligarchs. These mistakenly righteous beings have fabricated a system of supremacy for themselves far above the embrace of the earth and its natural way. Believing they are immune to nature’s order, they create illusory rules and constructs to feed their hungry egos, as a trumpet song shouts out their dominance upon the world below. (9:57)
Their proclamation settles, and a series of final harmonies stream down into a foreboding cloud. The Fool, now a necessary witness to a powerful sequence of ancient archetypal events set into motion long ago, is drawn directly into the heart of the inexplicable tunnel of darkness-- with no choice but to surrender.

Using musical instruments to portray things we see, is not a new phenomenon, but I really love the pictures music can conjure up in your minds eye. In this case I went for a storm brewing, with lightning & then light rain. I recorded this piano & then used the sides & frame to generate thunder noises. A heavy use of reverb, helped add the final illusion of a storm.

Rain on me

Rain On Me

Since Covid 19 has been around, our state in Australia has been through various lockdowns. Some have lifted, to then be applied again, as numbers unfortunately rose. Since being at home in isolation, the only thing that denotes a difference in my life is Night & Day, otherwise, each day rolls into the next. This piece of music was born of these feelings.

Lyrics:

LULLABY IN THE STORM
The night is coming
The dark is growing
Goodnight to everyone.

I'm rocking lightly
I'm sleeping quietly
The lightnings light the sky.

The storm is coming
My sleep is flowing
Dont'care what's going on.

The wind is stronger
The rumble's higher
but I keep dreaming on.

I see my life thru the dreams I can do
(The storm is going on...)
I see a young child. I see a man wild
The memories are growing up.

The tears in my eyes. The joy in my cries
The fact of being alive
My wounds are over
(The rain is closer
like lullaby in the storm...
...in the storm...).

The night has come now
The dark is all round
Goodnight to everyone.

I'm rocking lightly
I'm sleeping quietly
(The storm is breaking all...)

I see my life thru the dreams I can do
(The storm is going on...)
My wounds are over
(The rain is groover
like lullaby in the storm...
...in the storm...).
