I will be releasing two songs every two weeks from my seventh album 'Outside the Outsiders', free to download. It was recorded during the years 2017/18 and encompasses topics affecting many of us today, such as Brexit, climate change, the refugee crisis, isolation, loneliness and hopefully shines a dim light of hope in these demanding times. Thanks for listening and enjoy the music Peace:)
We all enjoy a walk in the countryside, enjoying the sights and sounds nature has to offer. But with the increasing change in climate nature needs a friend, as it can not stand up and say no, it is a crucial time in the planets history. The climate change meeting at Copenhagen in december will try and address these issues and find solutions in reducing the impacts of climate change.
I’ve been writing new songs lately , got about ten strong songs that I might record later this year.Also been practicing my technique on my guitars , using my ovation and washburn. In a month or so I will be releasing a new song from the album ‘as above, so below’. Thanks for showing an interest.
To me listening to music is as important as creating songs. I have a quite diverse music collection and always look for new and exciting sounds. Growing up in the 90s I got into the alternative music scene and still listen to this music today, also I am a fan of reggae, trance and world music. The following list shows my currently favourite albums, which provide me with inspiration to write my own songs.
The world cup is now underway in South Africa and it looks like being a close tournament. Being english I will be supporting England, but can not see them winning, they have to play alot better. So far I have been impressed with Germany, Uruguay and particularly Argentina, who just beat South Korea 4-1 and play an impressive passing game.
India’s national epic, The Mahabharata a poem of vast length and complexity achieved it’s present form in the second century A.D. It records conflicts between beings with advanced technology, maybe more advanced than today. In one episode a tribe called the Vrishnis which included the hero Krishna are under attack from an army led by an individual called Salva. Salva it says came mounted on a sauba chariot, the sauba chariot could in modern times be described as mother ship. The vrishnis however were well equipped and the hero Krishna took to the skies in pursuit of Salva , where it explains rockets, missiles, spears and spikes being used against Krishna. Krishna however wards off Salva’s attack with the equivalent of antiballistic missiles. Sauba however becomes invisible, then Krishna loads a special weapon, an ancient version of a smart bomb. Lastly he releases his favourite fire weapon and Salva is killed.
What are these weapons mentioned in this ancient epic, the story continues with the fearful agneya weapon used by the hero Adwattan. ” ..dense arrows of flame, like a great shower, issued forth upon creation…” . It continues to explain the power of this weapon, which eerily resembles a nuclear bomb. Why was this technology around and so early on in history and where did it go. References to air travel are also included in the mahabharata, with the famous vimanas recorded, which could only be UFOs. Did civilizations and many others just wipe themselves out or did they flee to return sometime in the future.
No one knows, but it shows that a lot of significant history is rejected and hidden by certain groups of people. Are we living in a similar golden age to these ancient people and have we learnt from there mistakes. probably not. But when people see UFOs today it is not a new phenomenon , UFOs have been spotted throughout the history of planet earth, like the vimanas, it’s like history has been conveniently altered to fit the theory of evolution. How can evolution exist, if nuclear bombs and flying machines existed thousands of years ago. The timeline is all wrong.
I have recently recorded a demo, on my 4- track, called “Echo” with 7 new songs, with titles such as driftin and travelling. I now have around 25 songs to choose from to record in the near future. I am pretty confident with the quality of the songs and they are based around familiar themes, such as nature and the modern world.
I have been writing alot of new songs lately, with titles such as rising moon, time and space, static and perception, which I hope to record later in the year. Also been playing electric guitar particularly working on instrumentals. Also been practicing covers, by artists such as nirvana, bob dylan and pearl jam.
Sir Francis Chichester , a yachtsman and pilot famous for solo crossings of sea and sky in the 1920’s and 30’s encountered a UFO on june 10, 1931. He was alone in his gypsy moth airplane somewhere over the tasman sea. He said, ” suddenly ahead and thirty degrees to the left there were bright flashes in several places, like the dazzle of a heliograph. I saw a dull grey white airship coming towards me”.
The ship then disappeared to Francis’s dis-belief and suddenly reappeared, he observed these airships and concluded they might have been flying saucers. * A classic case in the history of UFO’s is the Kenneth Arnold sighting of june 24, 1941, which finally caused the US airforce to take offical notice of the phenomena. Arnold, a civilian pilot was flying near mount rainer searching for a crashed plane, when a brilliant light flashed on the side of his plane. To his amazement he saw nine gleaming objects coming south from the direction of mount baker, he calculated there speed at 1,600 mph, nearly three times faster than the aircraft of the day.
Over the past few weeks I have been practicing my new songs, to be recorded in the near future. Also I purchased a new guitar last week, a freshman ,and have been trying different tunings, normally preferring. I have about 15 songs to record and hope to improve the quality of recording.
Christmas is here again and time to reflect on another year. Christmas is celebrated in most countries of the world and is a festival celebrating the nativity of Jesus. According to the gospel of Luke, Jesus was born to mary assisted by her husband joseph in the city of Bethlehem. They were visited by several magi or astrologers who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh after following a mysterious star, known as the star of bethlehem.
