Back in '96 I wrote the first Whalesong Ensemble and they danced around me. Here our seaborn cousins are beginning to know me better and sung their little(not!) hearts out for me. Such Magical Creatures, with such wonderful Souls

Nowun in Partikular - Electronic Music to Lose yourself to........Come take a trip with me.. to places not everyone's been! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
The flash above are where you'll often find me if i'm not here. A place where many of us Gather and strive to help the musical online world on a true path. Jus lil ol' me with my multiple personalities to help influence things. Ten yrs of producing music for personal relaxation and now...........Who knows? My music is there to lose yourself in, forget the hussle and bussle of day to day life and take a trip to 'Nowhere in Partikular' and 'Everywhere you wanna go'.....It's up to you! That's how my music began and now for a new dimension! Why not also take a Trip to 'Somewhere in Partikular' - To somewhere I and want you to go! I'll explain: A few months back, my Brother J-Si of RaveMasters fame. http://www.soundclick.com/ravemasters suggested taking the listener to specific places, with musical tracks being made with a story in mind - Story Music is what we call it and we invite you to try and see/feel the images we paint in many of our tracks. Below is the story behind one of those tracks. Friends of Aeonia. Track Background When 98,800 years ago Where- What we call the Pacific A huge wooden Trimaran sails across the huge crystal blue sea, her name is Aeonia and measuring some 120ft in Length and an incredible 50ft wide, there has never in all history been anything quite like her. While being built she filled the dockside, the main hull extending the main dock by some 30ft. and the 4 years of building had seen 2 of their colleague’s lives here end during the toil of this mammoth dream and now their survival depended on her becoming the miracle they had envisioned when the gods had warned them of the coming peril. 4yrs previous. The decision was made to leave the Island they called home, in Search of others because their own numbers had dwindled from the 10.000’s that once dwelt here, to just twelve. Now the time had fallen upon them to fulfill the prophecies their forefathers had told them of, which read: Huge deluge, torrent and Rain Will fall from the Heavens on the 4th day Death n disaster we’ll know only Pain Till time for the Masters to Sail on away Rains will halt and the Sun shall rise When Ten are left the time is ripe To leave this land in memorized times Open your wings and you shall fly Sail these Seas so vast and wide And a chance to meet our own kind Will come your way in good time For the day will come when land you’ll find For the four years they had toiled with the rigors of Nature and Time when finally Aeonia was ready. The ten of them could now set out in search of the rest of humanity across huge oceans filled with dangers like Hurricanes and Squalls, Whirlpools and uncharted Islands. Since the rains had started 4 years ago much of the land had disappeared. As their forefathers had predicted the unhappy Heavens had opened the wrath of it’s floodgates. Just as those same forefathers had suffered almost the same fate when nearly all of them perished at the hands of huge Tsunami’s, they had to try and survive. This was a journey that would see them either succeed or watch their whole race end and that was beyond question as all aboard knew their hearts would guide them to their new home, others and a voyage of success. The Music The music actually depicts the ‘Friends of Aeonia’ leaving the old island, the journey first travels through fairly comfortable waters, with the Sun beginning to break through the clouds for the first time in four years. They travel many 1000’s of miles, through many dangers of weather and ocean as they continue their timeless search. The weather each day getting better and finally after a staggering 520 days at sea, they spot land in the far off distance. Much more able to see further now because the seasons were even beginning to return to normal once again and they were in late spring. As they finally arrive at the island they drop anchor outside it’s protective reef and launch a small boat to go ashore. Where they will survey what may become their new home and once again hope filled them as the prospect of a future for their people looked more assured. With the search for a home now over Does the Securing of their future become their next Quest? Welcome to Nowun in Partikular/RaveMasters World of Story Music

Story behind the song
As the track begins take two deep breaths and then plunge right in with them. To begin with you’ll hear only you. Deep breaths signify self-awareness and also that initial moment of excitement before ‘splash’ and your plunge over the side. Now as your awareness of self is replaced by the feeling of being part of a whole Ocean, let yourself reach out to let the Whales take you on a journey of discovery & realisation. They will guide you to calm waters far below and as the tranquil deep slowly replaces a more frantic surface, you can let yourself forget there was ever a surface and enjoy the depth that Life holds before us. In this Whalesong Ensemble I felt the need to once more be amongst intelligent life and on the whole, this doesn’t include man. Let’s face it, if an alien life form had been studying us for 10 years and then decided to make contact. I think they would be amazed to be told by us, that we were and are the highest form of life on planet Earth…Mmm! When I first joined them in the original Whalesong Ensemble I was at that time new to the Whales and they kept their distance while they sang for me. I say ‘for’ because straight away they understood my dilemma and with no verbal communication on my part whatsoever. This time when I returned, they remembered me from before and took me under their wing. Judging by the way that they are able to fly through the depths below us, then wing would be a good description. We all became one and as such were able to perform some beautiful movements, which reminded me greatly of a team of synchronised swimmers at their pinnacle. In this new track I have tried to create the feelings and movements of us all (you as well!) as we achieved oneness with each other. From there we merged with the Oceans, became like water itself and as the Whales sang their blissful song. Whenever i have seen or heard these gorgeous beings, I have felt as if I was amongst the most Peaceful, divine creatures on Earth…which of course I was! My hope by creating this track is that for as long as it lasts, you are able to relax and forget. Let the stress of today, just float away for at least one whole play and I guarantee you’ll leave the water feeling much better. Enjoy A few facts I discovered in my research: The Blue Whale is the biggest known animal on our planet, it would take 2700 people to weigh in at the same 185/200 tons as a full grown male. Their tongue weighs ¾ ton, the same as a small car. They are also the fastest animals in water, reaching speeds of up to 50mph. Whales spend between a quarter and a third of their time eating and the rest of their time playing or singing & dancing in the oceans A Humpback whales call can be heard on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, a distance equalling about 10.000 miles The larger whales have no problem diving a mile underwater, where the pressure is 500 atmospheres. They collapse their lungs to avoid the bends and can easily stay submerged for 40 minutes before having to glide back to the surface for air. Whales not only have the ability to see what is in the ocean with sound (Sonar), but it could also see what a fellow whale had in its stomach using the same method. If a Mother Whales baby dies during the swim back to their feeding grounds, she will continue to carry it until the body decomposes We have been harvesting whales for over 50 years and yet no-one seems to have studied their biology to see why no whales have ever been found with any form of Cancer, or any other form of pathological disease. This I find unbelievable because they too are mammals and are so like us in so many ways If whales didn’t exist, the plankton populations would increase so dramatically that they alone would be responsible for a rise in temperature of our oceans and this would increase the effects of Global Warming. The reason being that plankton alone currently creates the majority of the worlds Oxygen and if their numbers increased,
