@sunnidayz: It was a sweet and sad recreation, thank you for liking it

@sunnidayz: LOL! I am so pleased to be invited to the Deconstruction Club of two! Let's not pull apart! Smiling!

Ha ! 1976 ... The year I moved from London to Paris : Flared trousers with a sherbet lemon in one pocket and a conker on a string in the other ... And of course my big brother's 33 RPM Bowie records wafting through the house ... Yep : Golden years all right ;-) and the spirit is perfectly captured here Phil. Short and to the point ... Just loved it :-) Cheers !

I love DB, he was my first crush and I loved him Labyrinth, such a special person, so sad and still am abit his passing xxx

feels very different at this tempo...good vocal effects

Ashes To Ashes, 1980

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumor from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed, love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing, just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things (I never done good things)
I never done bad things (I never done bad things)
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

Ashes To Ashes ... David Bowie ...

Music/Lyrics by Netta&McGill

_
Like waking from a deep, blue sleep
For many months the light was bleak
But this morning something happened
A rumble deep inside
Baby, I was coming alive


So many days it has been low
And often eyes would overflow
But this morning something happened
All around blue skies
Baby, I was coming alive
*

 With sunshine in my eye
And you by my side
Pieces of the darkness disappeared 
Yea with sunshine in my eye
Now a pep in my stride
Baby, I’m coming alive
*

The brighter days to come eventually 
Take advantege of that feeling free
Cause this morning something happend
And my smile was open wide
Yeah baby! I feel alive
*

With sunshine in my eye
And you by my side
Yeah (baby)! I’m feeling alive
Baby, I’m feeling alive

Coming Alive

visitations.....for relations.....with a people.....from their past.

explorations.....confirmations.....of the beings.....from their past'

reconnection.....close inspection.....a resurrection......of their past.

they are here, to see our culture.   they are us, in the future.

They are us in the future.

This is my soundtrack for the short film "Hagstone" by the skilled and passionate filmmaker Jamie Hawkins (Side Owl Productions):
https://youtu.be/rkEFSkEAOBM?si=7iHl64RgSro5IUY3

As always this is supposed to blend with the images, sounds and dialog. Hence the best experience will be to watch the film as a whole.

For all the composers and sound nerds out there: You might want to have a look at my YouTube shorts where I show a lot of "behind the scenes" material, especially the recorded instruments:

The Man Who Sold The World - My Tribute To David Bowie

I just miss the man and his work. They were golden years. So glad I grew up in them. 
I really enjoyed putting this snippet together, the vocals, perc, bass, guitars et al; you get to enjoy the skills used when you deconstruct it... so thanks for the lessons DB and your assembled cast of masters.

I JUST MISS THOSE GOLDEN YEARS

I held out as long as I could...
A tribute to David Bowie.

Let's Dance (David Bowie Tribute) with Christian Rossle

I'm happy to post here this cover of "Jump they say",  brilliantly orchestrated and brought to life by "Phil & friends" :-) It's from David Bowie's 1993 "Black tie, white noise" album. To be honest I'd never heard this song before, but I took to it immediately and thoroughly enjoyed doing my bit :-) 

Thanks again Phil for the opportunity, and a big hand to Rick and Lisa for their top notch contributions :)

Lyrics :

When comes the shaking man
A nation in his eyes
Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
Streaking cathedral spire
They say
They say
They say

He has no brain
They say
He has no mood
They say
He was born again
They say
Look at him climb
They say 'jump'
They say 'jump'

They say
He has two gods
They say
He has no fear
They say
He has no eyes
They say
He has no mouth

They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd they say 'jump'
They say 'jump'
Watchout!
Watchout!
They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
They say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
They say 'jump'
Got to believe 
They say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
Jump!

Jump They Say - David Bowie Cover (in collaboration with Phil McWalter, Faerytale & Rick Medlock)

From the album
"Say Goodbye to Ground Control" 
now available on Bandcamp
Mixed, Mastered, co produced by Russ Sinfield https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield
Blackwhole art by Angelo Atencio

Lyrics:

"how did we come to this place
and sacrifice our time and space
for all these riches that aren't real
distracting us from how we feel?

like a black hole that pulls you in,
we're told we failed when we begin.
who would discourage us to shine
instead of making us divine?

but we'll succeed collectively 
to make our own reality
free to live inside our hearts - 
that kind of freedom is always ours.

so give the TV back it's soul,
say goodbye to ground control,
take that chance and step outside,
and don't forget, enjoy the ride."
