Marti van Lin

Amateur one man band form Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Yet another amateur one man band. I started composing and writing at the age of 13. I started off playing electronic organ, later acoustic, electric and bass guitars. Played in a few local rock bands, but for some reason I was never really happy about the way things went. So at the age of 18 I decided to become a one man band. In 1982 I released my first official audio cassette tape "The truth UR afraid of". Followed by each year two more cassettes. In 1992 I threw my instruments into the closet and started using so called "Tracker editors", making me able to use "any instrument" I could ever dream of. Meaning my sound dramatically changed trough the years. These days I hardly release new CD's (mostly one a year). However I don't create every week another new song, as I did before. I keep on ticking.... More information on Tracker Editors in this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracker_%28music_software%29

Story behind the song

Since my partner passed away after a 23 year during relationship, I moved to a small apartment and I only come out for shopping in the grocery store I live on top of. I have learned living alone the hard way. These days I don't mind being alone and prefer to live (more or less) as a hermit.

This Part 1: Prologue - is inspired on the original Hergest Ridge release by Mike Oldfield, but with a different tune, thus it's *NOT* a cover. I was very disappointed Oldfield removed the deep base guitar from the CD re-release.

That's why I created something likewise.
