Enchantingly complex and insightful....dujhan

Very imaginative and inspiring. Lovely composition. :)

Honestly, this was the best possible song I could have picked to get me out of my 'work' mind, and into better spaces. This is brilliant. :)

I Love it ! The Asian spirit is so peaceful and bright !

David Lucas and his late father, Bill Lucas, an acclaimed Sydney architect attended my voice workshops held by the "Once Extra Dance Company" back in the "80's". Adventurous , creative souls with no holds barred on what was the beginnings of Danse Danse. It was then called "Dance Out Of Beat" and was a commentary on the club scene that I'd very much been a part of in the "60's" In recent times I invited Annette Scott on board who has brought it brilliantly to fruition along with my longtime collaborator, Jazz pianist/composer, Kirk Kadish. Now we have a new take on the current dance scene with a touch of empowerment as to whom has the final moves.

DANSE DANSE: Arterial Flow ft Vocalatti

Delighted to present my latest collaboration with The Phaige, one half of Soundcloud stalwarts One and Other, alongside Jaime J Ross. This is a trippy, exotic backcloth with a cold North wind blowing through. 
Gary once again amazed with his creativity and his multi-layered production. He has such a keen ear for detail and brushstrokes to enhance and improve. What grabbed me from the outset was the slinky, fluid bass playing, but there are many levels across the frequencies to hook you in. Always a fun process to work with him.

Come with me with tales of magic, mountain spirits, hail and snow from your motherland.
Tell me secrets never told of winters bleak and hardship in the biting winter cold - aah

Take me to hidden places where food and love and family keep you warm
I’ll ride with you on Northern winds through deepest valleys and the blackest storms

I’ll sing with you while we are drunk with laughter in our eyes
I’ll listen to your strange new words of love from the North

Fly me faster through the stars to universes only we will ever know
Keep me close and make sweet memories for now and evermore

From North - The Phaige with Nicholas Ridiculous (lyrics in description)

Hey… how’s it going on your end of SoundCloud? Winter’s been holding on tight here, with cold weather and plenty of snow on the ground. Nothing like what is happening right now in the mountains of CA though. With the cold weather, I got a chance to record a new song. It has a mythological theme, loosely based on the snaky haired Medusa. I am probably the only (male) musician to have gazed into her eyes and was not turned into stone. So I had to sing this tale. A little backstory… This ties into a teenage memory of my first crush, because she had a dark, powerful mystique. I called her a snake goddess. (That did not go well.) You can see where I am going with this….. haha. Freud had a field day in his psychological analysis of Medusa in Das Medusenhaupt… but this song is more of a romantic love song in its interpretations, as you will hear in the lyrics and by listening to my enchanted recorder playing as I charm the sacred snakes in Medusa’s hair. I believe that is a first: Haha.  And let’s not forget the poetically romantic implications of the first kiss… OK, hope you like this song. And glad you dropped by. Mark

Scorched Earth - part 1

This is the Part II of a Three Part Composition I’ve working on the mammoth Ibis Trilogy from writer Amitav Ghosh. The first was "Sea of Poppies" which I created and uploaded here on SC 3 years back … recently I finished the second "The River of Smoke". Hope you enjoy listening to it as I did making it! By the way the Chinese section of the composition is centered around a loop used from the GarageBand Collection. 

River of Smoke is a novel by Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh. It is the second volume of the Ibis trilogy. The novel has a rich tapestry of characters from various cultural and geographical backgrounds whose common interest is trade (mostly opium) in China. The story is set in Canton’s Fanqui-Town, a small strip of land used by foreigners to trade with local Chinese traders, a year before the first opium war. The plot evolves around three ships off the coast of Canton, in the year 1838. The Anahita, owned by Bahram Modi, a Parsi opium trader from Bombay, the Redruth, owned by Fitcher Penrose, on an expedition to collect rare species of plants from China and the Ibis (from Sea of Poppies, the first book of the trilogy) carrying two convicts Neel Rattan, a Bengali Zamindar and Ah Fatt a criminal from Canton. The story traces the lives of these principal characters in Canton. Bahram Modi an opium trader from Bombay, carries out successful expeditions to China and creates considerable wealth. Bahram also has a son Ah Fatt through a Chinese boat woman, unknown to his family back in Bombay. Fitcher Penrose, a botanist, is on an expedition to China to collect rare plants. He is joined by Paulette Lambert, daughter of a French botanist, in his search for the rare Golden camellias. Neel and Ah Fat have escaped from Ibis and they meet Bahram Modi, Ah Fat's father. Neel joins Bahram's as his Munshi ... 

All these rich tapestry of characters from various cultural and geographical backgrounds converge in Fanqui-Town, a tumultuous world unto it­self where civilizations clash and sometimes fuse. It is a powder keg awaiting a spark to ignite the Opium Wars. Spectacular coincidences, startling re­versals of fortune, and tender love stories abound. But this is much more than an irresistible page-turner. The blind quest for money, the primacy of the drug trade, the concealment of base impulses behind the rhetoric of freedom: in River of Smoke is a consuming historical novel with powerful contemporary reso­nance. Writer Amitav Ghosh continues the epic that has charmed and enthralled readers all over the globe.
Happy Listening :)      

River Of Smoke

Written way back by Claude Putman Jr and made popular by Bobby Bare and Porter Wagoner in 1965 .  Some many artist have recorded it, including Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.  An old country standard that I really like and decided to do a few verses.

Wait

Rich, pampered girl from Abilene, Texas meets a trail-worn cowboy with a checkered past, and they head north to avoid her family's scrutiny. It's a doomed relationship from the start, of course, and only lasts until the snow breaks.  Abilene comes calling - she heads back home, and the cowboy does what all cowboys in trouble do (at least in the songs I listen to) - he splits for the border.  True story?  Maybe...
 
The timeline in the song is a little convoluted - begins in the middle and then back to the start, then to the end and back to the middle etc.,..   But you old cowhands will figure it out.

Female voices are Julia Avery and Madison Carr.
 
And the winter would pass......
