Une jolie collaboration qui ne pourra qu'être de mieux en mieux

Comme un lézard ft Claire & Cyrus

A short improvised tune played by me with my old loyal companion Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a master keyboard, using an old lovely retro style Grand Piano sound from Keyscape (Yamaha C7, preset "Vinyl"). (Edited the track a little bit on Sunday, November 12, 2023; e.g. changed the last note:)

This song is dedicated to the one who knows it.

I know this is a short one but I'm not a trained jazzer and it has practically taken all my life to get to this point in playing (I'm still learning every day:). If I had to name a few sources of inspiration here, I would first name Mr. Erroll Garner; I would also name Mr. Robbie Buchanan, who's fantastic, memorable and genius playing, compositions and arrangements I have listened to (knowingly or unbeknownst) practically all my life and keep listening today. A song that especially inspired me to make this track is "Somebody in Your Life" by Diane Warren and Robbie Buchanan and the incredible complex chords and progressions present in that song. Later Mr. Luis Miguel made a spectacular version of that song ("Alguien Como Tú"). Third, I would also mention as a source of inspiration the memorable music of the late honorable composer and pianist, Mr. Juan Carlos Calderón. And of course, the music of Mr. Bill Evans is always inspiring me.

As far as i cam remember, the 1st time felt in love with it it was with this track : sheep : hard not to fall in love with such a "sound".
The engineer who mixed the original song is just amazing.

思い出せる限りでは、私がこの楽器、ローズに恋に落ちたのは、このタイトルがきっかけだったと思います。
このアルバムの曲をミックスしたサウンドエンジニアは信じられないほど優秀です。
そのような音に恋をしないのは難しいです。

Aussi loin que je puisse me souvenir je crois bien que c'est avec ce titre que je suis tombé amoureux de cet instrument : le Rhodes.
L'ingénieur du son qui à mixé la chanson de l'album original est juste incroyablement bon. 
Difficile aussi de ne pas tomber amoureux avec un son pareil.

Living life

[Verse 1]
I was water,
before I spoke.
I was silence,
before I broke.

[Chorus]
She remembers,
even if I don’t.
She held me,
even when I won’t.

[Verse 2]
I was starlight,
without a name.
I was longing,
before I came.

[Chorus]
She remembers,
even if I don’t.
She held me,
even when I won’t.

[Bridge]
If I breathe slow,
I hear her hum.
She doesn’t call –
she knows I’ll come.

[Chorus]
She remembers,
what I let go.
She was the water,
I used to know.

Before I Spoke

@TexMex-Shaman of the Eclectic Collective had the cool idea to add a short hambone performance to the 'Country Ham' track he wrote and invited us to play on. He originally asked if anyone would like to try, but with no takers, he did it himself. I wasn't familiar with the term before but once I heard him perform it, I realized it was something I'd tried before too, and asked if I could take a stab at it after all. You hear it at the outro of the song as the music fades, but this is an isolated recording of just the hambone stuff - in this case boot stomps, hand & body slaps, and vocalizations. Thanks Tex for this awesome song, and teaching me this technique rich in Southern tradition. As a percussionist, this was a treat to record!

Here's the original, full song from The Eclectic Collective:

🎶 NEW RELEASE! 🎶
We’re thrilled to share our latest creation – a reimagined cover of "Abracadabra" featuring our very own Mark on vocals! 🌟 

Voice and sound have been deliberately made metallic and we got some fading added - you might just get this out of your old radio at the beach while sun bathing ;)

This one’s close to our hearts as Mark wanted to present something solo, and we were all in to make it happen.
Hope you feel the magic in this one – we sure did creating it! ✨

💥 Stay tuned, OMGG Band has a brand new track dropping this weekend! 💥

Love as always,
– OMGG Band 💜
P.S. You are the spark that keeps us going. Never forget!

🇺🇸✨ O.M.G.G. – U.S.A. TOUR UPDATE ✨🇺🇸
+ Phoenix Nights & Christmas Surprise Tease 🎄💙

The journey continues.

We kicked things off with a private club gig in New York City, rolled the fire into Dallas, lit up Las Vegas and Denver… and now our neon tour bus is glowing in the desert again — because O-M-G-G has landed in Phoenix, Arizona. The tour keeps pushing west toward the Pacific, one skyline at a time. 🚌🌃✨

Earlier this month we also celebrated:
🇫🇮 6th December – Finland’s 108th Independence Day 🇫🇮
Even while touring the U.S.A., our hearts are at home. We’re honoring the courage, stories, and blue-and-white spirit that shaped us — and some of that emotion is already woven into our new songs from the road.

Next up:
⭐ Phoenix shows and studio days
⭐ Then on toward LOS ANGELES just before Christmas
⭐ A special OMGG Christmas release dropping on Christmas Eve… surprise incoming 🎁

This tour is still our love letter to you:
🔹 Exclusive live sets in tiny clubs and secret rooms
🔹 Reimagined classics + brand-new OMGG originals
🔹 Special Live Series & Studio Series recordings from each city we touch

You might hear us wander into:
– Italo disco from Berlin 909 Studio nights  
– Hardstyle from festival dreams  
– Retro pop, nu-disco, synthwave, hip hop  
– AOR ballads fueled by highway moons  
…all melted into the one universe we call O-M-G-G.

🎶 Tracks from the U.S. tour will appear here on SoundCloud during and after each show — so even if you’re not in the States, you’re still front-row with us.

From Finland’s midnight sun to Berlin, Frankfurt, London dreams… and now New York, Dallas, Las Vegas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Phoenix and beyond —
it’s still YOU + ME + ALL OF US. 💙

Thank you for riding with us.
Thank you for listening, sharing, dancing, dreaming.

— O.M.G.G. Band 💎🎸
