Here's another cool composition that @nic_nic_nic Nic sent over for me to color on.  Like Vast Fields and Torres Strait, it's got an understated moody kinda vibe to it.   This one really grew each time one of us would touch the project.  It's been fun to hear it evolve over the past month or so.  

It's a 12 minute plus commitment should you choose to make it, but hopefully you'll find it musically interesting throughout.  Nic likened it to a big Italian meal with lots of delicious side dishes.  I thought that was appropriate.  

So check out "Great is the Sun"  and if you like it, take a listen to Vast Fields and Torres Strait  Also don't miss "bow" - one of my tracks that Nic did vocals for.

Music: nic and TexMex Shaman

Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevensson

Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven without repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.

Though closer still the blinds we pull
To keep the shady parlour cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through.

The dusty attic spider-clad,
He, through the keyhole, maketh glad;
And through the broken edge of tiles,
Into the laddered hay-loft smiles.

Meantime his golden face around
He bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and glittering look
Among the ivy's inmost nook.

Above the hills, along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing true,
To please the child, to paint the rose,
The gardener of the World, he goes.

Great Is The Sun [NIC and the TEXMEX SHAMAN]

We had lots of fun working on this, kind of electronic jazz rock track.
Feddo again, played some very fine keys here. Ideas came up while jamming on a rhythm track.

Using Ableton Beatseeker M4L device, I locked in to the beat of the drips.
https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/beatseeker/.

You'll feel the track tempo follow the drip, it's close to 131 BPM, but varies with each drip. The magic of brownian motion and chaos.

To the drip sample, I added Mr. Wiggly's Incinerator. 

Dominic Hawken, aka Mr. Wiggly, passed away Monday, 6 February 2023. 
Dominic touched so many people lives, with his joie de vivre. A truly inspirational man, he made being a great guy seem effortless. I didn't know him, only from his channel, SonicTalk, ProSynthNetwork channel, and his relationship with Kent - "Kent Spong, can you tell me what's wrong?". 

God bless Mr. Wiggly and his family.
