Dedicated to the scientists, engineers, conservationists, activists, first responders and all citizens who are working around the clock to solve the climate crisis or to help in humanitarian missions due to earth changes. 🙏

Inspired by a midnight encounter with an owl. Special thanks to Paul Paploviante @paul-racle and Jörg @joerxworx for their generous support and inspiring music from which Night Owls was derived — based on an original composition by Paul and remix by Jörg. You can hear similarities in the melodies of Night Owls to Jörg’s saxophone, and Paul’s solid chord structure and guitar in Spanish Nights and Silent Nights. Listen to the songs here:

I'm working on lyrics for a future vocal remix.

Synth guitars, piano, keyboards, bass, and ambient sounds with hip hop and Latin beats at 93 bpm. Owl audio recorded live just after midnight on January 5, 2024. Subway train audio recorded live in February 2023.

Thank you both for your incredible gifts to me!  This makes me laugh out loud.


"Summertime" is an aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, and Ira Gershwin.
The song is sung several times throughout Porgy and Bess, and in act 3 by Bess, singing to Clara's now-orphaned baby after both parents died in the storm.

2024 Remix and Remaster version to bring it up to the standard of the later album tracks for full album release in 2025.

The surviving medieval priory Lindisfarne is the focus for this track. The priory was re-established in Norman times in 1093 as a Benedictine house and continued until its suppression in 1536 under Henry VIII. The original priory of St Cuthbert's time was long gone by then following the location of the relics of the saint as a result of the Viking scourge.

Inspired by "The Rainbow Arch", the track takes it's name from this surviving rib of the crossing vault that survived when the tower above it collapsed. The photo of this arch was taken on one of my visits to Lindisfarne.

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

The Rainbow Arch instrumental features strings, violin, flute, a choir backing, synthesizer pad (quite Floyd -like) and uilleann pipes. There was no historical reason to use the pipes as the Irish monks were long gone. It was more to do with the mixture of sounds in this piece. It felt right to my ears. It also features my best approximation of multitracked chanting.

The Bell ringing sound FX is classed as Public Domain and is used to add colour to the track from www.freesound.org

Background

"The bell is rung for mass and the monks assemble. Whilst singing the chant they gaze up at the rainbow arch and their spirits soar."

I wanted to get inside the feeling of the monks in this holy place and was inspired by the surviving rainbow arch to do multiple parts singing the 'Kyrie Eleison' with different vocal timbres and link that into a rapture type section.

Funk meets the Middle Ages

E Tumaini, orgulhoso de ser pai, tomou a filha nos braços, e deu-lhe um nome, e a abençoou:

Vê, os homens passam, falham as vontades.
Vê as mãos cansadas, porque nunca alcançam.
Mas tenho esperança que um deus bondoso te encha de alegria,
te dê o seu consolo, luz e fantasia.
E neste chão, onde o maligno vem espalhar maldade,
vais ver crescer o joio, vais sentir saudade.
Mas tenho esperança que um deus bondoso te abra um caminho,
te traga o seu amor, para nunca estares sozinha,
para seres feliz...

And Tumaini, proud to be a father, took his daughter in his arms, gave her a name, and blessed her:

See, men pass by, the wills fail.
See the tired hands, because they never achieve.
But I hope that a kind God will fill you with joy,
give you his consolation, light and fantasy.
And on this ground, where the evil one comes to spread evil,
you will see the weeds grow, you will feel the longing.
But I hope that a kind God will clear a path for you,
bring you his love, so that you'll never be alone,
so that you'll be happy...

Tenho Esperança

Fantasea Con El Recuerdo

Revival

The Last Voyage

a high-octane Hard Techno track that hits with full force.
Relentless kicks, distorted synths, and an industrial groove that never lets up.
Built for underground raves, warehouse sessions, and those who live for the darker side of techno.
