World music songwriting that transcends the single band.
World music songwriting that transcends the single band. Music made round the world from 1990-2002. These songs are my legacy material. My life is an experiential journey of my own design and some of the end result has been recorded and/or live music and spoken word. I play a variety of instruments and sing/talk. Most of the songs on this page date from my recordings between 1995's "4" (under the Moniker Mr. Chaos, in Detroit Michigan U.S.A.) through to 2002's "In Stereo" (with Add Lib Lounge, in Helsinki, Finland). There are also some glimpses here of 1997-9s "Mr. Chaos Trio" from Mid-Finland; 2000's Bahasa Mix, from Malaysia; and 2001's Jazz sessions from Helsinki (with the Black Tuesday Quartet); and 2004 activist bluegrass recordings against GW Bush's "No Child Left Behind" schooling initiative. I hope you enjoy it.

Story behind the song
This came out of a short collaboration with Andrei Solomko, who at one time produced music for the Naxos label. Most of the album was rubbish but I nicked this one from the bin. John Hammink - Vocals The unknown soldier - guitar Andrei Solomko - Arrangement and Sax
Lyrics
Afternoon... An old tire floating on the wake This old rig was anything but a mistake. Pulled her in We dripping with sweat and I needed a beer when the rain broke we dove in a cafe. The place smelled like old cigars The jukebox was there with the usual stars - and I dropped the coin in. Rain is a veil over the sky the moon and the darkness concealed day after day with no reason why my love is for you revealed. Mile after mile Over the waves I'm thinking of you when I feel Love after love the sun in your eyes Shines over all things real. ... Russia and the Baltic, summer 2002
