What Makes You The Same

"Aging rock legend in my mind."

John Laurence is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer/songwriter, with a wide range of influences from Heavy Metal to Mahler, Folk to Baroque, with a healthy dose of Blues, Classical and Jazz. Instruments he plays include keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, ukulele, Godin Merlin, dulcimer, recorders and whistles, and brass including cornet/trumpet, mellophone and trombone.
  
In 2011 he was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) which had affected him undetected since childhood. Although he has a PhD and has had two successful careers, he has begun to see life with a whole new perspective. He has always been a musician at heart and is making up for lost time with a new career as a musician and composer. His music is  influenced by blues, jazz, folk, classical and rock. Given his eclectic tastes and creativity, it is not surprising that John's music has evolved in to a World Music style. A new EP has just been released, named "Last Song of the Dove".  Feedback on the album has been encouraging, especially from countries such as Canada, USA, Mexico, Japan, Israel, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. John is now producing a full length album "Takahe Toccata" building on the style of the EP and dedicated to the World's endangered birds.

Nick Ray is an independent producer/singer/songwriter from New Orleans. His music career began as a lead singer in the local scene performing with numerous rock and alternative bands. Not wanting to be tied down to a single genre, Ray continues today as a solo, experimental artist writing and producing almost all of his songs as they genre hop between Pop, Soul, Alternative, Hip Hop, and EDM. Nick has also had the pleasure of collaborating with talented acts such as @neptunicamusic on "Mountains" and @djadaro on "I'm Alive". His soulful voice, along with his natural ability to write and produce exceptional tracks leave Ray poised for a promising musical future, as it’s safe to say he has only scratched the surface.

"With his very strong vocals, it wouldn't be surprising to see this artist take off at any point. 
His voice naturally crosses music genres and it's something I'd love to see continue with Nick Ray as he has yet to disappoint." - www.higoodmusic.com

I started my Real Musical Odyssey in the late 1980s at a friend's house where I met a woman who would drive me CrAzY for most of the next 40 years! It's been on and off, and on and off, and on and on for that whole time! During that time I've played with somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 other players including my older Bass Player Brother, and worked with him at a Music Theater. Talk about a Wild Ride! Met an incredible mixture of people and wouldn't trade it for the World! Thanks Rita May and all the rest...

Last Dying is a solo instrumental metal music project, also known as One Man Band, created by musician and producer Guillermo D. Bouix in 2018. Since then, he has built a career spanning over four years, during which he has released two full-length albums titled "Pandemic" (released on January 30, 2020) and "Emptiness" (released on July 12, 2023), as well as two EPs: "Breadth" and "Wasteland," a collection of singles called "Singles 21 Collection," and a total of ten singles to date.

Last Dying's music is a unique combination of various subgenres of metal, ranging from death metal to melodic death metal, black metal, and most notably, alternative metal. Each musical project undertaken by Bouix is an opportunity to experiment and explore new sonic possibilities.

A ginnel is a passageway between red brick terraced houses, specifically in Yorkshire, where I grew up. The ones near where I lived had peculiar sound reflections that always fascinated me when I was little. Macalla is Irish Gaelic for echo, in a nod to my Irish roots…
