Track: 08
Title: My name is Carnival (FabzMK Mix)

The original is already pretty awesome, but my own version is actually different!
I have not yet mastered it and probably never will.

Maybe this song could be improved upon by adding more intricate drum variations - at times, i find the rythm section a bit too repetitive. Tell me what you think!

Youn Sun Nah - My Name is Carnival (FabzMK Mix)

07 Jacques Cousteau - David Lemaitre / Latitude

5 track tribute to the talented singer Lhasa De Sela:

1) Live recording of Lhasa Del Sela as she sings Fairuz's adaptation of the poem by Khalil Gibran 'The Nay/ A´tini  Al-nay /  اعطني الناي

أعطني الناي وغني, فالغنا سر الوجود وأنين الناي يبقى, بعد أن يفنى الوجود هل إتخذت الغاب مثلي, منـزلاً دون القصور فتتبعت السواقي, وتسلقت الصخور هل تحممت بعطره, وتنشفت بنور وشربت الفجر خمراً, من كؤوس من أثير هل جلست العصر مثلي, بين جفنات العنب والعناقيد تدلت, كثريات الذهب هل فرشت العشب ليلاً, وتلحفت الفضاء زاهداً في ما سيأتي, ناسياً ما قد مضى أعطني الناي وغني, وانسى داء ودواء إنما الناس سطورٌ, كتبت لكن بماء 

Give me the Nay and sing, /The secret song of eternity. /The laments of the Nay will linger /Beyond the decline of existence.

Have you, like me, /Chosen the forest dwelling /Rather than the castle? /Have you followed the stream /And climbed the rocks? /Have you anointed your body /With fragrance distilled in light? /Have you been drunk with dawn /In the goblets full of pure air?

Have you, like me,/ Sat down at dusk,/ Among the glowing languor/ Of vines laden with grapes? /Have you lain down on the grass at night /And covered yourself with heavens, /Opening your heart to the future, /Forgetful of the past?

Give me the Nay and sing, /The song in tune with hearts. /The laments of the Nay will linger  /Beyond the fading of sins. Give me the Nay and sing, /Unmindful of troubles and cures. /For each man /Is nothing more than a watercolor sketch.

2) Bia Krieger con Lhasa de Sela in 2008 singing "Los hermanos" (A. Yupanqui)

3) Lhasa De Sela live on piano singing her own "I'm Going In" (Toronto, 2006)

4) Lhasa De Sela "La Confession," live acoustic recording from France during tour of Living Road album in 2003

5) Studio recording of her song "Where do you go" (2009, self-titled album).
