My first European single, 'Wau Bule' recorded in London between 1999-2000. Talvin Singh on the tablas (impressed me with 'a one-take' recording), Keith Leblanc on drums, Doug Wimbish on bass, Skip McDonald on guitar and musicians from the Kelantanese community in London participated and interpreted their instruments to make this song a magical, mystical, one. Unforgettable...

"The Marriage" - Malay Version

-Sweetoken-
-Serpihan- (Malay lyrics)

Ku simpan
Si sanubariku
Pasti
Sejahtera
Rahsia kita
Sewaktu nanti
(Kan) Melindungi

Rahsia kita
Yang mendalam
Kan ku simpan
Bersama mu
Rahsia kita
Sesuatu yang asli
Serpihan mu
Dan Ku
Kau yang mengetahui
Oh dengarlah!

Tersembunyi
Di lapisan awan
Menghimpuni kuasa
Rahsia kita
Tak sesiapa
Yang tahu

Memenuhi
Puisi ilhamku
Hudup ibarat embun
Segala kasih
Aman jiwa
Dikau
Daku

Rahsia kita
Yang mendalam
Kan ku simpan
Bersama mu
Rahsia kita
Sesuatu yang asli
Serpihan mu
Dan ku
Kau yang mengetahui
Oh dengarlah!

Rahsia kita
Oh dengarlah

Hanya denyutan nadi mu....shhhhhhhh...

Monsoon, a song from my 2nd European album, 'Core'...

Monsoon-AlbumCore

My version of 'L'Invitation Au Voyage' with Gamelan arrangements , Composed by Henri Duparc (Eugène Marie Henri Fouques Duparc on 21 January 1848 – 12 February 1933) was a French composer of the late Romantic period) and words from Charles Baudelaire. Duparc is best known for his 17 mélodies ("art songs") with texts by poets such as Baudelaire, Gautier, Leconte de Lisle, and Goethe. This song was composed and written in 1870 and released in 1872.
 
A mental illness, diagnosed at the time as "neurasthenia", caused him abruptly to cease composing at age 37, in 1885. He devoted himself to his family and his other passions, drawing and painting. However, he began losing his vision after the turn of the century, which eventually led to complete blindness. He destroyed most of his music, leaving fewer than 40 works to posterity. In a poignant letter about the destruction of his incomplete opera written on 19 January 1922 to the composer Jean Cras, his close friend, Duparc states:
“ 	Après avoir vécu 25 ans dans un splendide rêve, toute idée de représentation m'était – je vous le répète – devenue odieuse. L'autre motif de cette destruction, que je ne regrette pas, c'est la complète transformation morale que Dieu a opéré en moi il y a 20 ans et qui en une seule minute a abolie toute ma vie passée. Dès lors, la Roussalka n'ayant aucun rapport avec ma vie nouvelle ne devait plus exister.

(Having lived 25 years in a splendid dream, the whole idea of [musical] representation has become – I repeat to you – repugnant. The other reason for this destruction, which I do not regret, was the complete moral transformation that God imposed on me 20 years ago and which, in a single minute, obliterated all of my past life. Since then, [my opera] Roussalka, not having any connection with my new life, should no longer exist.)

This song inspires and fascinates me as much as the Romantic Period does...
