Hard to believe actually, as I didn't land into Stansted until midnight Friday, and didn't make home until after 2am. So on Saturday I completed "Vapours and Dust" which had been hanging around in GarageBand since last weekend. Then today, inspired into action to complete "Distant Journey", I wrote and recorded "Goodnight", which is a nice up-beat end to the collection - hope you enjoy. Vapours and Dust [audio:http://public.me.com/ix/morkjturner/My%20Music/Distant%20Journey/09%20Vapours%20and%20Dust.mp3#124;titles=Vapours and Dust#124;authors=Mark J Turner] Goodnight [audio:http://public.me.com/ix/morkjturner/My%20Music/Distant%20Journey/10%20Goodnight.mp3#124;titles=Goodnight#124;authors=Mark J Turner] And that, as they say, is it. Distant Journey has taken around 5 months, which isn't too bad given I've a full time (and then some) job, three kids, a wife, 3 cats, a dog, half a dozen tropical fish, and nothing like a social life. That said, its getting hard to fit it all in, so I'm deliberately taking some time out for a while now. I have a 2 week holiday planned for the beginning of June, and if I can stay away, I'm going to refrain from starting anything new until then. Guitar Mark J.

Into the home run now on "Distant Journey". nbsp; Time Bleeds was a little heavy, and perhaps a little subdued, so I wanted something a bit more upbeat - that said, I started with something inspired by "Someone Else" by Queensryche, but the thing took on it's own life pretty quickly, and you'd be hard pressed to see any similarity save the piano hook.

Second track from "Distant Journey" and I absolutely loved writing, recording and listening back to this one - sometimes the stuff just seems to flow, you don't even have to even try very hard - the recording seemed to work pretty much off first bat, the mix was pretty much "as is" and the whole thing has absolutely the kind of feeling I was aiming for - full of energy, thrust and yet somehow a little intriguing - particularly the drum mix worked really well, I liked the variety in the beats and it made the whole thing come together really well. nbsp;Enjoy.

This was an absolute bugger to get down, but as all I have of the original is a very ropey, very poor quality mp3 of a live performance - I was very determined. The various changes in tempo made it an absolute pig to do competently however, and their are at least two "glitches" which I just can't iron out - but I decided it was still worth finishing, and it's a perfect cover for my collection of 10. The original was written and performed by "Gamma Ray", a German metal band in the early 90's (pre-cursor to Helloween). Enjoy.

I upgraded to GarageBand '09 this weekend, and it's a nice incremental improvement.nbsp; The guitar modelling technology that's the big new feature is quite neat, though I whilst I found a lot more "reallistic" valve amp sounds using it, i couldn't quite generate a sound that mixed well into a song, at least, not as well as the setting's I've been using these past few years in GarageBand '07 and '08. So, a few of the sounds inspired some riffing, and whilst I ended up mixing everything using my normal production settings, this song was the result.nbsp;nbsp; Only difference is the mini-solo toward the end which used the Guitar modelling.nbsp; Enjoy.

It's been nearly 2 months since I managed to finish anything new.nbsp; A combination of a very busy time at work, home, and finishing off my Masters degree (now complete, hooray!). Then when I did get something started, GarageBand decided to screw everything up for me and delete half the tracks I'd created when I thought I was 90% done - so I left things for a couple more weeks, and today managed to finish it off.nbsp; I'm still a little frustrated, as I had some good ideas down and recorded, lost them, can't remember them now, and time machine also let me down, so no backup's, nothing - so some of this was 2nd efforts, and whilst fine, I wish I could remember/recover what I lost, because I think it was great, perhaps better.

I started off with something quite different in mind, but once I got going, it kinda took on a life of its own.nbsp;nbsp; It has a nice time-change mid-way through which takes it in a slightly different direction, and as a song of two-halves, I definitely prefer the latter - thought overall, combined, it has a nice spaced-out feel to it I think.nbsp; As usual, the track name came last, and that spaced out sound in the middle, is what helped me come up with it. This forms track 5 of my latest collection, "Many Ways To Be". [audio:http://idisk.mac.com/morkjturner-Public/My%20Music/Many%20Ways%20To%20Be/05%20Infinity%20Rising.mp3] Guitar Mark J. Turner no No
