the nightcircus

A collection of stuff where I'm playing with at least one other person; mostly fine folks I've met here on Soundcloud, but also a few early tunes I recorded with family or friends a while back. Each one is a gem (the people, I mean). 

Note - Because I've recorded a bunch of stuff with the 'Eclectic Collective' group, I've got a playlist and an album dedicated to just those tunes. They're gems too.   ; )

Circus Is Coming To Town - Improvised Piece

an excerpt of the intro of a song written by my good friend Dyniss from back in the day when we were in a band together (lead vocal - Dyniss, harmony - me). It's a good example of our vocal tandem when we sang together. 

Here is a cover of Dyniss's band covering "We Can Work It Out", with me on vocal lead:

Live in the Studio

Less Than Me (intro harmony / song by Dyniss)

I think this was the only cover tune we did back in my band days playing with my great friends Dyniss, Morris, and Alex. Here I take a turn at lead vocals with Dyniss on harmony. This is a ‘live’ version recorded in Dyniss’ studio (I believe in one take), though we performed it live on stage often.
Them wuz some good ol' times.

Dyniss Band members:
Dyniss - acoustic guitar, backing vocal
Mark - keyboard/accordion, lead vocal
Alex - 6 string fretless bass
Morris - Drums

Written by Lennon, McCartney

We Can Work It Out (cover; vocal mark)

I was honoured to get a message from Mark Sartori (@user-83791253-79179570), whose music & guitar playing I'm a big fan of, asking if I might want to collaborate on one of his pieces of music. He suggested I add some percussion to his guitar, and this is what came together. Mark S has since recorded a new, solo version of the song as well. 

Thanks Mark, for giving me the nod to work with you on this really fine & catchy tune. Hope folks dig this pan-Pacific partnership!

Little Wind (Mark Sartori with MisterMark)

My grandma's favourite song. that's papa on guitar, me taking a turn at vocal. I also do a pretty lame job trying to strum accompaniment while dad plays the middle solo. Originally recorded around 2014 with my phone mic, I also recently (in 2024) used AI tools to isolate the vocal & guitar into separate tracks so I could better adjust the balance. happy with the result. 

This song’s got a lot of meaning in our family. About as close to a perfect country song as it gets for me. 

(written in 1946 by Fred Rose. covered by the likes of Hank, Roy, Charlie, Elvis, and of course, Willie.)

Here's one other song we did together around the same time:

Voice Memos, country

blue eyes crying in the rain (cover, with Dad)

This collaboration came about when I was commenting on a track from @cosmic-ratzzz, saying how I was very inspired and influenced by his incredible music and style - both solo, and the over 100 (!) songs he & @Joerxworx have worked on together. Then suddenly, Ratzzz offered to send me a track he created - a complete backing arrangement (bass, drums, clav, synth, keys, some sax, effects, etc.) - and suggested I add something to it. I was apprehensive cause his stuff is top notch quality, but I took a stab at it, and this is what came out. My part is the 2 lead horns - sax & muted trumpet (both played on keyboard), and Ratzzz did everything else. 

The title comes from the fact that Ratzzz made it so easy to work with because of his incredible talent and a fully baked track to solo over. I tried to leave some space and work around what he was doing and I think it turned out quite nice for a first try.
The image is a bit of a mashup I did of both our SC avatars.

Thanks Ratzzz for your generosity and amazing music; hope you all like this!

Eazy Breezy (with Ratzzz & mistermark)

Arrite... dusting this one off again for another year.
First, to answer the question I know everyone wants to know about this one - "Is that your real hair?!?" 
No. No it's not.   😎 
----- ----- -----
I lived in Japan for a year between 2002-2003 doing the teaching English thing, and made some good friends at one of the schools I worked at. We sometimes went out for Karaoke (of course!) and on one such night around Christmas I took a turn to sing one of my faves - Blue Christmas, the Elvis version. 

This is a live recording of me that night. The exuberant reaction from the group is partly due to the fact that I was/am normally a pretty quiet & reserved fellow, especially in crowds, and they were both shocked and seemingly quite impressed by my getting up to sing Elvis, and by how much I apparently sounded like him. 

I could translate some of what they're saying here, but you'll get the idea. For example though, the word "Sugoi" means "Cool!". In another spot, someone walks into the room mid-song, and another person says "hey hey, this is cool, it's Elvis!... watch this..."
See what you think.  ;)

Happy holidays everybuddy!

Blue Christmas (Karaoke in Japan)

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. 
If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus

Pick Me Up (with TexMex Shaman)

I was honoured to be given the OK to add some accompanying instrumentation to a lovely song written & performed by Takken Wish (https://soundcloud.com/takken-wish). The lyrics crept up on me as I was listening to the song for musical ideas; it reminds me of a similar long lost old friend from my younger years who drifted off to somewhere...

I'm playing the upright bass, organ, and cello here (all on keys), and we've each uploaded a slightly different version of the cello part. Check out Takken's version, which has a more layered cello arrangement:

Thanks so much Takken for writing this touching song, and letting me sprinkle on my own touches!

Seasons Make Sense (collaboration with Takken Wish)

Dad & me making music together. took us over 40 years but we did it! This was recorded around 2014 or so I think. 

dad - acoustic guitar
me - voice

We tried this in 2 takes. The 2nd take had a bit louder, stronger sounding vocals, but the singing wasn't quite as subtle and soulful as this one, which is the 1st take. Even with the funny botched ending, this was always my preferred of the two versions. Unfortunately the vocal recording on this 1st take was too quiet (gotta find a better way to record singing than in the basement with my phone mic!). But after looking for years for a way to bump up only the vocals, I finally made use of one of the many AI tools popping up these days for isolating instruments from audio recordings. The tool I used is called 'Splitter AI / vocal remover', but there are others out there. Finally, I was able to isolate the vocals & guitar into separate tracks and make the voice  louder. 

(Song by John Denver)

I'm happy to be sharing these examples of my family making music from back in the day. :) Here's the other song we did around the same time. This is a very special song in our family, and I was super glad I got to sing it with my dad playing.

Back Home Again (cover - take 1) [collab with dad]

Hello my dear friends! With great pleasure I’d like to present to you my first collaboration with Franck C Production (aka Franck Charles) — a wonderfully talented composer and musician. You can listen to Franck’s incredibly beautiful cinematic and orchestral music here: @franck-charles-676082884

«So Enjoy Every Moment» is our collaborative work based on my existing solo piano piece. I am deeply grateful to Franck for adding so much heavenly beauty, magnificence and brilliance to my original composition! It has been a great honour and joy to collaborate with Franck.

Thank you so much for listening to this music, and we genuinely hope that you will enjoy it!

Night Circus

A neoclassical testament to the value of retreat,
where silence gives birth to the most profound expressions,
contrapuncting the noise of our world.

This is the 2nd movement of my Symphony "Alive!".

Composed in the silence, solitude and fears of the Pandemic Lockdown.

Sigh of Retreat

This is a musical story about an astronaut that has to leave the space station in order to perform a critical and urgent task.
It's composed around a minimalist piano theme that had a strong emotional effect on me when I first discovered it.

Twilight Garden

This is a song originally written and performed by Soundcloud artist 'A Girl From Wonder' (@user-712848711), whose music I've admired for a while. I've loved this one since the first time I heard it, and aways wanted to try some sort of collaboration, but it's hard to mess with the stark simple beauty of the original. But here's my attempt to add some dashes of colour to her voice and guitar strumming, adding instruments like upright bass, organ, banjo, cello, and percussion. The banjo parts are mainly a bunch of sound samples I found and cut up and arranged to fit in with the melody I wanted to play (wish I could just play banjo instead!). I tried to keep her evocative voice the main focal point, and we're both pretty happy with how this turned out. 

Thanks again Brittany for letting me work with your song, it's pretty special. 

Here's the original, and I encourage folks to check it out as well as other great tunes on her page. Thanks for listening!

Wild Walking (collab with A Girl From Wonder)

As I've started doing lately, this is a short excerpt, focusing on just the closing section of a full piano tune I recorded around 2001. The approach kind of reminds of the ending of "Crime Of The Century" by Supertramp (obviously nowhere near as interesting). Apologies for the poor recording quality, and the piano sound wasn't the greatest back then. Still, this little 1-minute closing section is still one of my favourite things I've recorded. 
Here's a link to the original, full tune:

Last Days of November (EXCERPT - ENDING)

This is just a short sample of a blending test of the cool sounds on the mellotron instrument I use in GarageBand. If you’re not familiar with how a real mellotron works, it’s worth checking it out! Here's a very informative demo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByD8gH7kYxs

The acoustic guitar is played using a VST guitar on keyboard.
The mellotron sounds are:
  - flute / strings blend
  - cello / strings blend
  - male / female choir blend
  - boys / female choir blend

Here’s a crazy song of mine where I’m using the mellotron is a really ominous chorus (Cut 2: "The Chase"):

thats some good TV. when the wheel is the best thing on things are not looking good. consider this the refried late night audition tape for the wheel or afv. all i wanted was a tshirt. radio silence for years like that starkist class action lawsuit. 15 bucks or 30 bucks in coupons for canned tuna. you know i picked the tuna and lost the coupons with what i hope is just coffee grounds. over salted free download.

wheel of fortune audition tape

This tune began with just the upright bass & flute part that were inspired by an old song that I liked a lot by an English Jazz trio called The Herbaliser. Beyond the basic A - B - A arrangement I couldn't really think of much else to do with it, so I enlisted a couple blokes from the Eclectic Collective to help flesh it out. Namely Stephen (@texmex-shaman), and Chris (@hiddenhands-760647700).

Stephen added the trippy high pitch reverse guitar effect, and the sick bluesy lead guitar in the middle section (thus the title, Blue In The Middle). He also lent his mastering skills to great effect on this one. And Chris added some delightfully dark atmospheric backing guitar parts and effects, as well as the Portishead influenced drum track. I was then inspired to add the background echo guitar sound in the middle section, the vocal sample near the end, a bit of percussion and minor sound effects. All my parts were played on keyboard except the vocal sample (from Garageband) and the flute, which I played live. 
Thanks guys for bringing this to life, and hope folks enjoy this trippy little ditty.

SUCH IS LIFE

Everyone’s a victim of some shit these days
Lost in their addiction or latest malaise
Or some new craze I’m amazed our days ain’t hazier than this
It seems to me our dreams are broken
Tragic scenes ain’t left unspoken
They’re cracked open in the hoping
other folk can find the bliss
How has it come to this 
But when that like lights on 
It doesn’t feel so wrong 
So I guess I’m gonna have to join the wrong song club
And spill my guts
But that’s the way we’re programmed 
Put the shit aside I’m guessing no man really can decide if it’s really wrong or right any time of day or any time of night

Join the club

Well  I’m confused about the modern world, am I hero or villain?
Will the things my daddy taught me leave me in a cell just chilling
Well I’m willing to accept the change as long as daddy gets the blame
Cos I don’t even like the name he gave me
Now I don’t deal with stress that well
It should be daddy in this cell
And if he really loved me then he’d save me
I think that’s the size of this modern life , it’s never at my door
And I feign surprise at all the new lies I swear he’s heard before
Daddy tell em , tell em quick , tell em where you heard that shit
Before they nail my nutsacks to the floor
And I’m only 44
Could you please tell em for me that it’s been your reflected glory that I’ve been far too busy basking in
And from your hearts repository maybe rewrite my history
Tell em how much mummy loved her gin
So come on daddy step up and take the blame 
Don’t it break your heart to see me crying again

It measures life in bits of time 
Like TikTok videos
Showing how the sand flows 
All in a trickle 
Dancing Wu-Li masters remind
The consequence of time 

While the force of gravity 
can bring me to my knees 
The hour glass remains to hold
Above and below 
Before and behind 
Carry me forever
In the consequence of time

Hour Glass

A song about using my defense mechanism of humor to avoid conflict and achieve romance. Dedicated to class clowns everywhere.
Sorry I've been off SC lately, I've been taking care of a few things.

Lyrics:
I was just having a drink
In a bar on the rough side of town
Yeah, minding my own business
And these tough guys come up to me
They say: "Hey, we're tough guys."
"we don't like you drinking sparkling Chablis,"

Well, I had a real good read on the situation
I've got the gift of gab (talk) from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I said: Gentlemen, may  I suggest a truce?
Let me be the peacemaker and buy you a bottle of booze
Then I got loose
I left them with a bill
For a three hundred dollar
Bottle of Chartruse

Oh, I listened to what my Mama say
You're gonna have to fight those boys someday
But if you use your brain
Then you'll find another way
Fight back, hit em in the funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

I was a young undergrad
A full-time miscreant
A part-time handsome man
I needed to get the attention of the ladies
But I wasn't that good-looking
But I knew what I had

I had a good read on the situation
I have the gift of gab from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I listened to what my Mama say
If those girls don't give you the time of day
You're gonna have to use your brain
Then you'll find another way 
Step back, appeal to her funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

Wolf’s Rock (New Edit)

(No genIA involved. I use my voice and Vst instruments)
(Traduit plus bas)

In the land, the light is getting cold / colder
Feel your hands, the cold is biting more / deeper
Now listen, your heart is beating slow / beating slower, weaker 

See the sky, the colors start to fade / stranger
Hear the ground, the earth is shaking now / danger 
Understand, the change is coming close / coming nearer, clearer

In the land, the light is getting cold 
(In the silence, despair)
Feel your hands, the cold is biting more 
(Something's gone, yet waiting somewhere)
Now listen, your heart is beating slow
Beating slower, weaker 

It's getting harder these days
To understand how we may
Take life as it comes
When everything seems like a curse
One thing and its reverse
And when we only speak with guns

What should we do
When people go insane ? 

When every dream turns to dust  
And love’s replaced by mistrust  
When life sounds like a bad play 
I wonder how we'll get through
But still we can do  
Step by step, that's the way
Us, them, me and you
When life is about to change

What am I supposed to do 
When comes the change

-----
Dans le pays, la lumière devient froide / plus froide
Sens tes mains, le froid mord plus fort / plus profondément
Maintenant écoute, ton cœur bat lentement / bat plus lentement, plus faiblement
 
Regarde le ciel, les couleurs commencent à s'estomper / étrange
Écoute le sol, la terre tremble maintenant / danger 
Comprends, le changement approche / se rapproche, devient plus clair

Sur la terre, la lumière se refroidit 
(Dans le silence, le désespoir)
Sens tes mains, le froid mord davantage 
(Quelque chose a disparu, mais attend quelque part)
Maintenant écoute, ton cœur bat lentement
Bat plus lentement, plus faiblement 

C'est de plus en plus difficile ces jours-ci
De comprendre comment nous pouvons
Prendre la vie comme elle vient
Quand tout semble être une malédiction
Une chose et son contraire
Et quand nous ne parlons plus qu'avec des armes

Que devons-nous faire
Quand les gens deviennent fous ? 

Quand tous les rêves se transforment en poussière
Et que l'amour est remplacé par la méfiance
Quand la vie ressemble à une mauvaise pièce de théâtre 
Je me demande comment nous allons nous en sortir
Mais nous pouvons encore le faire
Pas à pas, c'est comme ça
Nous, eux, moi et toi
Quand la vie est sur le point de changer

When Comes the Change

This is something I've had in mind for a while, and was planning to put it out for Halloween, but I'm really slow.  It's a macabre spoken word thing about a travelling circus that's a little 'off' in dark and unsettling ways that you can't quite put your finger on. Originally I thought it would sound good as an old timey Delta Blues with acoustic guitar accompaniment. But since I can't play, I enlisted the help of a fellow Soundcloud artist whose music I admire, Remnant60 (@remnant60). It just so happened Bill had previously posted a guitar track that he left open for collaboration. I downloaded his track, but it was left on the shelf for a while, until this came along, and I thought it was a perfect fit. 
It kind of borders on the edge of creepy cool and just hokey. But it's a fun bit of storytelling, and I'm grateful to Remnant60 for letting me tinker with his wicked slide guitar track. 
I strongly recommend listening to this with headphones for the full effect. 
Hope you dig it!

ARTISTS

LYRICS
A travelling circus creaked into our little town
They set up in Duggart’s field by the old burying ground
A ramshackle lot ‘neath the moonlight’s glare
With their trinkets and their theatre, put on an evening affair

Chorus
From village to village and from town to town
When the circus came they put their stakes deep in the ground
They promised spectacle, laughter and mirth
The travelling circus, the greatest show on Earth

Inside the big top it was crowded and hot
Everyone was kept waiting whether they wanted or not
Something in the tent corner was circled by flies
And I noticed a bruise under the flower girl’s eye

(Chorus)

The horses were skittish when they caught sight of a whip
And a big toothy grin was painted over the clown’s lips
The ringmaster never looks you quite straight in the eye
From the moment you enter he starts waving goodbye

(Chorus)

Travelling Circus (collab with Remnant60)

The Final Track from a soon to be released EP "SYSTEM FAILURE" with https://soundcloud.com/billy-korg
Lyrics:-

Tear the whole diseased temple down
System Failure
Watch it crumble
Let it burn
The final judgement
The tide has turned
System Defective
System Fail !

A system failure
Ain't so surprising 
With a U.F.O.
On the horizon

System Failure
Watch it crumble
Let it burn
The final judgement
The tide has turned
System Attack 

A system failure
Ain't so surprising 
With a U.F.O.
On the horizon

System Failure

Billy Korg / winkandwoo 2025

System Failure

a new horizon....full of hope and love and peace...

PREMIERE: Christophe Salin - Where You Want Me To Be [Salin Records]

Space themed music for relaxation, study, focus, and chilling out. 

Through the Cosmos

Hyperspace

Let’s Make Magic is a high energy dance track with neon fantasy vibes, glowing synths, and a powerful festival chorus. A modern reinterpretation of Artemis with electrifying pop EDM production. Turn it up and feel the magic.

Let's Make Magic

The Flaunt Parade is glitch, dark-tech, and cinematic electronic sounds served on a massive sub-bass drive of swung DnB groove. Seasoned with layered arps and evolving textures and sauced with meticulous sound design and fat drops. The Flaunt Parade keep the energy high from start to finish. The Flaunt Parade is crazy ready for clubs, festivals and hazy home-parties...but are you ready for the Flaunt Parade?


The Flaunt Parade

Magnetic Triangle (Beyond the Noise)

This track uses sound samples from GarageBand which I then arranged into this thumpin’ thingamabobber. Like lots of my stuff, this is just an idea which may be developed into a fuller arrangement later.

Mark's Album

I, Spy

Theme music for a mysterious traveling circus. Inspired by the novel The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

Stomping Ground (Demo)

Original song by Aby Wolf, featuring Jackie Beckey on viola and Rachel Blomgren on harp. 
This is a live recording from the 11-9-12 Talking Volumes with Kerri Miller and Erin Morgenstern at The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN. Thanks to Eric at The Fitz for bouncing this mix off the board for us.
