[LAU] New Avantgarde Music - or just more Prog?

Hello everyone! I've just completed my latest piece and it has reached its intended audience, so I'm ready to post it here. It's called Raw Magic: http://juliencoder.de/nama/raw_magic.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/raw_magic.mp3 And you can find lyrics here: http://juliencoder.de/nama/raw_magic.html Or of course visit the music page at: http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html This time I'd like to utter my heartfelt thanks to Joy Bausch, for guitars. A nice job! I'd like to thank S. Massy, Gabbe Nord and the mysterious Mr. Bennett for being my second pair (and third and fourth :-) - though not necessarily in that order) of ears. Without you I'd still suffer from some of my mixing difficulties. And I'd like to thank Silvia. The beginning of that song the first four notes or so came to me in a small bar in Paris almost two months ago now. I thought of some more notes there, but they didn't sound right. :-) The other main idea followed later that day, after having attended a concert by Goran Bregovic. So this piece again stretches the boundaries of my usual influences. You'll find some light asian influence, the balkaniser, simple piano music, light jazz, metal, glam-rock, synth-pop and a bit of the good old prog all bundled into this. And it's not because I didn't know, whereelse to put them. It's actually a study of some rather personal experiences, seeing them from very different angles. I hope I succeeded. :-) I know, that my singing leaves somethig to be desired (better intonation for a start :-) ), but I suspect, that it could have been worse. As ever any feedback is welcome and a beer to those, who find the fun and games in the lyrics. :-) Kindest regards Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................
