The Old Way - Leslie Javan

This is one of the tracks off my album: "Echoes from Eridu". 
I composed this music over a three year period after having reoccurring dreams about old civilizations that resembled Sumer (Mesopotamia) and Egypt. To this day I have no explanation for the dreams, apart from the fact that I composed about 33 different compositions that sounded different to everything else I wrote prior to this. This period changed a lot of my thinking around music and composition. "Song for Nephtys" is dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Nephtys, sister of Isis and Osiris and sister/wife to Seth. 

Song For Nephtys - Leslie Javan (2007)

Van die album af - "Ouma se kind" 2016. Die tune is al in 2010 geskryf en gaan oor mense en dinge in die Groot Drakenstein en n koerant berig wat ek gelees het in Die Son, op daai skynheilige winderige Maandag more. 

Vanaand - Leslie Javan

Leslie “Les” Javan is ’n voltydse komponis/liedjieskrywer en musiekregisseur  vir televisie, die verhoog en klankbane. Hy’t self ’n paar CD’s gelewer in Afrikaans, Engels asook instrumentele musiek wat hy in samewerking met ander inheemse mense en ander Afrikamusikante gedoen het. 
Sy musikale instink, kennis en omvang is asemrowend: Hy styg uit in enigiets van klassieke musiek tot blues, jazz, rock en inheemse Suid-Afrikaanse musiek – die grootste daarvan ghoema.
In 2015 het hy die klankbaan vir die TV-reeks Vlug na Egipte en Terug na Egipte gekomponeer. Sy nuutste album, Ouma se kind, is pas op die rakke. 

Les Javan - Rooirokmoles

This song is about my foster parents Aunty Katriena and Oom Frans. They took in this little baby and cared for him. Saw that, at age 3 he liked to sing and got him into music classes and singing in church from age 4 and a harmonica at age 5. From age 6 classical piano and the rest is history. When my daughter Jodi and I lived for two magical years in Tulbagh, we had a little Jack Russel called Groovy, or "Ouboet", as I called him eventually. He always used to come into the room when I record and on this day decided to sing for his supper. He sadly died soon after this in a dog fight. Those were the best days of our lives.

Huis By Die See - Eugene Wareley

This is the tragic story about someone who almost made it. This song features legandary SA rock chick Karen Zoid and is loosely based on Eminem's "Stan".

'n Hitman raak gatvol vir die kak en drama op die aarde en gaan af hel toe om die duiwel te gaan doodmaak.

Autumn - Les Javan 2013

Les Javan maak hierdie ene (hopelijk sien ons dit op 'n nuwe album).  Dis vir 'n shack-scene op die klankbaan van "Vlug na Egipte".
