If this is all you hear from me: Some worthy representative tracks. IMO.

Shadows, Toward the Light

This is a re-do of an older track from about 25 yrs ago. I originally just wanted to do a straight up remake with better sound quality & instruments, but I quickly had a 'different' idea for it, based on the title. 

THE MOVIE:
The idea is there's a movie director shooting a car chase scene, and the 'actor' playing the villain turns out to be a real villain (a mustache-twirling evil-doer in a dark cloak and wide brimmed hat) who just escaped from jail, and now he's on the run, using this movie scene as his escape cover. Calamity & mayhem ensue across the city, ending in a car crash, but the villain somehow makes his getaway, diabolically laughing at his would be captors (ya, that's me with the diabolical laugh, and all the other voices actually, except the police). But then he wakes up to the sound of his cell door slamming shut, realizing it was all a dream - like a movie in his head. 
Y'know, that old story...   ; )

I’m playing all the music on my keyboard, and all the voices except the police. I've uploaded 3 versions of this song:

1) The full 'movie/car chase' version (including story/concept)
    (this version)

2) the 'drums & sounds effects only' version (no music)
    https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/cut-2-the-chase-fx-only-version

3) the 'music only' version (no sound effects)
    https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/cut-2-the-chase-music-only-see-description-for-story

4) the 'original' music only version (recorded around 1999 or 2000)
    (pending)

I thought some folks might find it interesting to see this thing deconstructed and evolving from 1999 original to now. Maybe not, lol.

I strongly recommend listening with headphones to get the full panning effects. The image is a combo of AI generated and cut & paste from my photos. each version is a variation of the same image.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. Like, “hey Mark, your car chase idea really sucks”. 😜

I celebrate regardless of defeat, and throw my roses at the gelding's feet.

Please note: "the beast" in the second line, is THE CAT from the first line. Due to some people's propensity to assume some other connection, I feel a need to CLARIFY this fact; 
I am pledging allegiance to a CAT. 

That is all. 
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Towards Yonder Castle

Another song from my coming album, 'Cure for Tarantism'. This one inspired by, written for, & dedicated to my first found soulmate & the girl I loved as a child, & evermore. Still, the best friend I've ever had. I miss her every day. Besides walking, dancing, & laughing beside me, she was the most beautiful, talented, silly, loving, & wise spirit I've ever known. Dead at 16, she lives on through those of us who love her, & for me, she lives in every single thing of beauty I create. <3
