Hi all! Here is my Tribal World piece "The Run".

This track was created using samples of instruments and sounds of different cultures and regions around the globe. The idea is that it ties the sounds of these cultures and regions together into a evolving, diverse and vibrant track, in a way that is seamless and consistent. 

Basically, the track is "running" through cultures and music styles - literally - and YOUR the runner. (That's the intended perspective, anyway.)

Most of the sounds used were found on freesound.org. The rest were performed and recorded by myself.

ENJOY!

The Run

World -Raga- Acoustic Guitar Music for Yoga, Contemplation, Meditation, Heart, Mind and Soul, or just to Chill. Real Instruments played by Real People. 

Stevin McNamara has been playing and recording music for over 40 years.
He is in the unique position of being an accomplished 
Composer/Musician and a Recording Engineer.
This gives him total freedom in any music/recording environment.

Born in South Africa, Stevin started learning piano and guitar at the age 
of seven. He played solo and in bands all the way through high school.
At the age of twenty one, Stevin moved to the United States, where he 
had more formal training at Berklee College of Music in Boston Mass.
He has been involved in music ever since.

Although Stevin grew up with the sounds of African Music, he also 
discovered Indian Music in the early seventies and studied the Sitar with 
Ram Chakravarty of Benares who was then professor of music at 
Wesleyan College in Connecticut.
This diverse exposure to such a broad spectrum of music, ranging from 
World to Pop has contributed to the unique musical style he has 
developed over the years.

In the late seventies, after spending considerable time as a session 
musician in recording studios, Stevin became fascinated with what was 
happening on the "other side of the glass", namely the recording process
itself. This passion developed into a highly successful career as an audio 
engineer.

He has worked in the fields of Popular music World, Folk, Jazz, Film and 
Television in top studios in South Africa, England, and the United States,
He is perfectly at home in any State of the Art recording facility, or Live 
Sound scenario, even at Stadium Concert level. He is qualified to teach 
Audio engineering at College level.

Stevin has worked with well- known producers such as Robert John "Mutt"
Lange and a huge spectrum of recording artists (see Artist List - www.yogitar.com)
- from Paul Winter to Tina Turner- from Bryan Adams to Zakir Hussein.

He now lives In Ashland Oregon where he spends his time doing 
freelance recording, original music production, and live performances

Fated start to my music journey January 1, 2017.

If you are anxious, you’re worried about the future.
If you’re depressed, you’re in the past
If your head is back you are dreaming

Float on
