Amazing, innovative music set to a ground breaking video clip. This song was a revelation to my ears and still is.
Peter Gabriel and his the team of alien ability musicians, with the genius of Daniel Lanois producing make this song and the album “US” one of the most pure pop alternative albums of all time.
I’ve always loved the deep feeling style of James Taylor and what a beautiful idea to combine on of the worlds most tasteful Cellists as well!
This short clip shows them both working on a 3/4 time version of the George Harrison song, “Here Comes The Sun” . From a program called “Yo Yo Ma & Friends: Songs of Joy and Peace”.
Hey there people and small sponges with cognitive ability and small boomboxes.
I have just posted a new track that can be downloaded for free.
It is called “Within Me”
No, not because its rubbish, in fact quite the opposite.
Its a very emotive and well produced love song with acoustic guitar, bass, piano and programming by the bro Jai Larkan and all vocals by me.
I once played this song at a wedding where the groom had helped me translate the lyrics into Spanish. It went down very well and I did not forget any of the words!
So there is a Spanish version of this around somewhere I will have to find!
Turns out one of the best marketing minds today is also into music. Who isn’t right? But I mean into marketing music.
He at one point started a record label of his own.
He emphasizes 2 things for me:
Music is still important distinct from the “Industry” that is trying to ensure its survival.
Creativity is something that should be brought INTO the business and a sense of what you do that is special and making that a tribal movement of some kind.
One of my musical heroes, Peter Gabriel has been pushing the boundaries of musical recording and performance for over 20 years.
First in the band, Genesis he adorned himself with flowers, hats, costumes and anything to get peoples attention. Fortunately he also had powerful concepts and a unique voice that demanded open ears and hearts.
One other thing about Peter Gabriel is that he had the sense to work with brilliant musicians.
Tony Levine – Bass, Manu Katche – Drums – David Rodes – Guitar. Some truly innovative and highly skilled musicians that brought passion, flare and texture to his message.
Speaking of message Peter Gabriel also often touches on subject such as Politics, Love, Loss, Personal Freedom and Human Rights.
He is responsible for the founding or co-founding of the following organizations.
REALWORLD – A fantastic world music record label with artists such as, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Geoffrey Oryema and Shila Chandra.
WOMAD – World Of Music and Dance, shares the World music around the globe in a 3 day event of rich folk and indigenous music and arts performances.
WITNESS – A global organization dedicated to revealing Human Rights violations by giving ordinary people video cameras to document and publicize events. Watch the videos now >>
Alan Watts. A man that excels at simple but profound observations about nature and how we see ourselves. This type of language has the ability to clarify and reveal the matrix of our own thinking and social structure. We soon learn that thinking is very much a collective activity as well as an independent one.
This video was compiled by Matt Stone and Trey Parker of Southpark fame. Or is that infamy?
Producer, Musician and Sound Explorer, this one man has influenced my work and sense of musical possibility more than any other artist.
Apart from his own musical works (which are fantastic) his list of production credits are awesome. Bob Dylan, U2, Peter Gabriel, The Neville Brothers, Robbie Robertson, Emmylou Harris and Brian Eno are just a few of the people that have created their best work (in my opinion) with him as their production guide. Read a great interview with Daniel Lanois here. Or see more to view some videos. Continue Reading »
