exactly where and when I wanted to be teletransported

Yes! More of this, please! Love how you work the tension with those exquisite modal notes. Brilliant groove, too, as your drums seem to be the star in here. Hey brother man, love this! Really outstanding work here!

This is fabulous man. So well expressed. Love it ✌🏻🔆

so awesome that these instruments are available to those who have the will--that sound is so rich and unique to western genres--cheers to you my friend and my condolences on the Bluejays even though they beat the Mariners by one bad pitch, i was still rootin for them:):)

Farewell To A Hope

This started with a very beautiful piano piece by Tom, then advanced by Jussi’s great electric guitar lead. I added an imagined lyric about someone not being able to commit to a relationship and the song was completed by Boon’s excellent acoustic guitar work. Thanks to all for their wonderful contributions. Thanks everyone for giving this a listen. Much appreciated by us all. 

Desamor by Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki and Mark J Bennett

There’s an absence in my life, 
Perhaps of my own device. 
An awkward independence, 
Rendered me unable to share,
 My life with any other. 
Desamor, Desamor

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor 
An awkward independence,
 Left me unable to share.
 Desamor, Desamor
 Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
Forbidding myself that joy.

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor

Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
 Forbidding myself that joy.
 Desamor, Desamor

Desamor - Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki & Mark J Bennett

Lyrics:
Ma belle, viens graviter dans mon orbite
Captive de mes attracteurs étranges.
Mes mots et mes gestes doux t’invitent
Pendant que nos regards se mélangent.

De ton rêve pelucheux comme une lépiote
Je parcours les étoiles noires et palpitantes
Ployée sous le poids conquérant de mes bottes
Tu quémandes mes caresses enivrantes.

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini

Foufoune power, rêves concentriques
Guerrière lubrique,  matriarche adorée
Goudou doll, ma figure métaphorique,
Dans tes parfums chauds et mordorés

Et ta puissance est un divin présage
Un frémissement doux et gynarchique
Les chiens se dressent sous l’orage
De tes folles émulsions alchimiques

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini


Ergot satanique, fruit gorgé de sang
Ton plaisir frémi en langues éclectiques.
Il se noie dans des arômes évanescents
De candeurs et d’extases métalliques.

Trente centimètres de latex et de plaisir
Se tendent à mon bassin souple et ondulant
Ta croupe s’offre, j’ajuste mon harnais de cuir
Et, amoureuse, je te prends tendrement.  

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini

I can’t be scared of modern day ai 
Cos daddy said don’t be afraid of things that cannot cry

Cos them robotic minds somewhere deep inside 
Will never feel the difference between jealousy and pride
Or fathom out the fashions of the secrets that we hide
But I’m so alive , I can fantasise 
I can disbelieve what’s before my eyes
But I won’t prophesies demise
Because prophets love to lie
And I’m too busy getting high
That’s where I find the fire
Unless we’re blind to the light 
There ain’t no need to fight
Cos it’s impossible to die
If we’ve never been alive

I can’t be scared of modern day Ai
Cos daddy said don’t be afraid of things that cannot cry 

I'm not convinced there's skill in prompts
that generate soulless and gaunt
emotions that fall short of what is human.
Such foolish sheep ingesting these
false imitations of beliefs,
experiences not achieved, nor numen. 
And it's plumin' smoke into the air,
unnatural, how do they dare
pollute our world without a care for people?
Why can't we all accept, make peace
that perfection is out of reach
and we are ours, flaws, all, unique, yet equals.
 
Oh Ai 
My my

Ai oh my

I love this time of year when the light seems to play on the floors.  It's just a peaceful thing I notice.  Certainly not earthshaking, but lovely.
Thank you to David Dunham for his friendship and his unending help in mastering my piano tracks.

When Love begins

Lyrics: 昔々ある所に
モノノケが棲んでおりました
そのモノノケの言うことにゃ
坊や、良い子だ、ねんねしな

English ver: Once upon a time, in a far-off land,
there lived a spirit creature.
The spirit would say,
‘Hush now, little one… time to sleep.’

Tale of the Mononoke

This is the last renovation of several songs I wrote some years back and recorded with Roger Stankovic (https://soundcloud.com/roger-stankovic), who did the lead vocals. Started as a basic piano and vocals track, but I took it down and added some new elements. Very happy with Roger's amazing work on this! Harmonies, moi, and Jen DB.

I recently posted a collaboration with the Eclectic Collective gang, which featured various Middle Eastern & North African instruments from a VST sound pack I got my hands on. The song was "Oh My Darlin',  Palestine". Here's a link to that track:

https://on.soundcloud.com/h2dNfjIKEsDRMH9yei

I was pretty happy with how it turned out, because I've been playing this kind of music for many years on drums & percussion and flute, but always wanted to play other instruments in this style as well. So, I figured I'd try another one, so here it is. 

I'm playing everything here using my keyboard. The instruments featured are:
Duduk (Armenian reed instrument), Tanbur & Saz (stringed instruments), Daf, Dumbek & Riq (percussion instruments), and Cello. 
Thanks for listening!

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
