One of my favorites from The Bridge. Never put it on Soundcloud before. Actually this is a variation of that track. One of the best songs I have ever made, in my opinion. I imagine it being played in a lobby 100 years from now, on New Year's Eve, to people walking by who don't even notice.

The Bridge

Just Jazzz

Hiraeth discovered her power one day while staring up at the sky, lost in thought. As she concentrated, she noticed a small, white cloud slowly drifting across the blue expanse. She found that she was able to move the cloud slowly across the sky, just by her thinking about it. Excited by her discovery, she tried again and again, each time with more focus, until the clouds were dancing to the rhythm of her mind.

Hiraeth

IT WAS DURING A DIMLY LIT SEANCE, held in the depths of a forgotten jazz club, that I found myself in the presence of her spirit. The air crackled with anticipation as we called upon the ghosts of the past, and in that moment, I felt a deep connection with the legendary blues singer.
    "Etta James, if you're out there, please join us," I beseeched, my voice quivering with reverence. The room fell into a hushed silence, and a soft whisper seemed to ride the coattails of a chilling breeze. The unmistakable essence of Ms. James permeated the air.
    Suddenly, a figure materialized before me, her shimmering form taking shape in the center of the room. It was Etta James herself, her eyes filled with a wisdom that only years of soulful living and heartache could bring. Her presence was both awe-inspiring and humbling.
    "Etta," I stammered, barely able to contain my excitement, "I've always dug your sound so much!"
    She regarded me with a hint of curiosity, a ghostly smile playing upon her spectral lips. "Well, ain't that somethin', darlin'. What brings you to summon me from the beyond?"
    With a mixture of nervousness and determination, I explained my musical vision. Trip hop, a genre born from the fusion of electronic beats and haunting melodies, had been echoing in my mind. I had always imagined Etta's timeless voice soaring above the atmospheric soundscape, infusing the music with her raw emotion and captivating presence.
    "I want to create a track that captures the essence of your voice, Etta," I said, my voice trembling with earnestness. "A collaboration that transcends time and genre."
    Etta studied me for a moment, her ethereal gaze piercing through the layers of my soul. I held my breath, awaiting her response. Then, a glimmer of appreciation danced in her eyes.
    "Well, honey, you've got yourself an intriguing proposition. I've sung my heart out on countless stages, but a trip hop track? Now that's something different," she said, her voice a velvety echo. "But why should I lend my voice to your music?"
    I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "Etta, your voice has a power that transcends generations. It carries the weight of experience, of heartache and triumph. Combining your soulful vocals with the ethereal beats of trip hop would create a sonic tapestry unlike anything the world has heard before."
     As she considered my words, her spectral form seeming to shimmer with newfound excitement. "You know, darlin', I've always been one to take risks. Maybe it's time I stepped into the unknown once more."
   A flicker of hope sparked within me as I realized she was open to the idea. 
    As the seance came to an end, and Etta prepared to return to the realm of the departed, she whispered, "Let the music be our bridge, connecting the worlds of the living and the dead. I'll see you in the notes, honey."
    And with those words, she faded away, leaving me with a sense of profound gratitude and a determination to bring our collaboration to life.

Garageband Mixes

This track features samples from a conversation between authors Anais Nin and Henry Miller. I remember it being a challenge to edit this. Henry talked over and interrupted Anais many times. Regardless, have you heard the band "The Books"? I feel like this track, and perhaps all of my music is inspired by that group.

Every artist has a story.
We begin in the summer of 1998, when Almark discovered that he could create music on computer by using the free program, Fasttracker II. This opened a whole new world of music, coming from being a guitarist since 6 years before. In 2000 he started his Experimental journey into places unknown. The music was Industrial-based, Electronic and Abstract. Not knowing how to make Electronic, he made his own; daring to break boundries and do something strange and unique. Soon after, moving to Cooledit Pro and purchased keyboard and hardware from a friend; thus giving him more creative ideas.  in the years to come, eventually leading down the path of avant-garde and other forms. ​
 
 
Born 1977 in Tulsa, OK. Almark came from a life of music, music around the home every day, growing up to the 80s, Synthpop, Classical, Hits, MTV, VH1, movie soundtracks and television. During the late 90s his music likes changed to Electronic mostly. Being influenced by Industrial, EBM, Goth, Darkwave, Post-punk, Synthpop, DnB, Ambient, Techno, Ninjatune, Retro and synth music; and these are just a few. In 2000 the influence further shifted to the Aussie group 'Severed Heads.' aka Tom Ellard. Today the driving force comes from the influence of life, the heart of music and still the continued joy of pure experimentation. He manipulates his world till he is happy with it; while storing his influences in a box when he needs them.
 
The music is passionate, creative, inventive; while always seeking a new sound and personality. It continues to remain unique in a world of familar genres. Almark's music finds it's own way through the darkness while reaching otherworldly landscapes; much like a artist paints a picture. Sometimes the music is moody, and sometimes it is melodic.
 
With keyboard controller, various software, Ableton live and imagination, he composes, mixes, masters and produces his  music in a growing world of DJ's and beat makers. The music is unique, weird, abstract, beat-driven, sample-based, cinematic, melodic and even avant-garde.
