Picture for song '.:':.Jazz Age.:':.' by artist 'SoundworldA.D.'

.:':.Jazz Age.:':.

I coined the term Jazz Age to describe some of the music that I was listening to back in the late 80's and early 90's that blended Jazz, New Age and Worldbeat. This rework includes a rockin' lead guitar solo and an updated outro section.

.:':.Himalayan Moon.:':.

Mo's picture set the tone for this Worldbeat extravaganza, this being the reworked and rearranged version of the previously named "Moon over Babaluma."

Indira

Another short piece that I was asked to do for an Indian gospel radio program intro or voice-over.

Bollypop

That Indian vocal on the V-Synth GT sent this one in a totally different direction from which it started with another great OASYS Catalyst 1 combi. Things like that happen sometime late at night in the Soundworld!

For the love of Ladybugs and Butterflies. My first stab at a 6/4 time signature. This beauty flew into my backyard and lighted on a silk plant I had hanging in a tree long enough for me to grab my camera. A memory that will last a lifetime.
Greetings visitors to the Soundworld! First and foremost, my thanks go to God for my many blessings and for the ability to be able to make my own music even though I have no formal music training. I suppose there is a time and place for everything under the sun. I originally got started in this electronic music and MIDI world back in 1992 on a whim, never before having played piano or keyboard and basically not having a single clue about how any of it worked. Undaunted, I purchased a 49-key Casio keyboard synth and off I went. There is no doubt that technology has given amateur musicians and hobbyists like myself the ability to make pretty good sounding and even professional sounding music without having to visit and lay down serious coinage on hiring a studio like the old days. Another consequence and benefit of the digital age has allowed musicians of all stripes and from different parts of the world to come together on forums and music sites like SoundClick to discuss ideas and get instant feedback. I met a chap from Panama named Coronado (not his real name) on Karma Labs Forum in 2009 whose fantastic stories had such an impact on me that I ended up naming several songs after them. Coronado’s Wild Night in Medellin, Coronado’s Jungle Adventure and Coronado’s Ocean Adventure were all inspired by real events and told by the master storyteller himself in a fashion that had me greatly amused. And just as fast as an unlikely digital friendship had emerged, Coronado was gone from the Forum. And so, I like to think that legends like Coronado are much like butterfliesthey display their beauty for a short time and then are gone. But the stories (and the memories) remain to remind me of a special time when I was just starting to get serious about getting my music out there for others to hear. I met Moreno Caponi on the very same Karma Labs Forum and can say without doubt that I am very proud to be able to display his lovely digital art on so many of my songs. I would tell Mo that I was working on a song and what it was about or the name and he would start producing these beautiful digital “paintings” that would so often just blow me away because it would be so close to what I had in my mind’s eye. He also did my music page banner to honor my fascination with the archaeology of Ancient Egypt. I am so jazzed to have Mo’s cover art adorn my albums Jazz Age, Journey to Jegonga, The Harmonic Labyrinth, Windows into the Soundworld and Jazzland. My eighth album Bridge will also sport another “Mo original” as I came to call them. And so, this unlikely trio from different parts of the world once discussed what it would be like to toss ideas back and forth and come up with an amalgamation of sounds from all three. Alas, it never came to pass, but in the interim, I had come up with a name like “The CoMoDo Bros. Popcorn Fart Club Band” or something goofy like that and Coronado remarked that it sounded too much like one of those cheap lounge club acts. Well I just couldn’t let a good idea go to waste, so in jest, I formed an outlet with The CoMoDo Bros. Lounge Club Band series to honor yet another one of those humorous Coronado anecdotes. And so I continue in the Soundworld five years on. The songs are fewer and farther in-between these days due to family life and travel, but the joy remains and I am thankful not only for the music I produce, but also for the friendships and cultural art forms that have ensued on some of the forums that I am a part of. Last but not least, I must pay respect and give great thanks to Mr. Stephen Kay, the inventor of KARMA (Kay Algorithmic Real-time Music Architecture). This feature on my Korg OASYS has been the main catalyst that has enabled me to be able to produce so many songs since 2009. SoundworldA.D.
