Second song, really good sound – really sad background. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Passing%20On%20Something%20Special/02%20Be%20With%20You.mp3|artists=MarkJ Turner|titles=Be With You] Enjoy. I did.
First song, new album. Trying. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Passing%20On%20Something%20Special/01%20Try%20To%20Be%20A%20Good%20Man.mp3|artists=Mark J Turner|titles=Try To Be A Good Man]
Passing on Something Special was completed in November 2014. This was my 17th “album” in 8 years, which is both gratifying and slightly depressing. Middle age blues I guess. This album has a much more gritty sound using my ESP and Digitech effects rack for the primary sounds, with […]
Something short and simple to finish off….. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/10%20Needing%20A%20Hug.mp3|titles=Needing A Hug|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy.
This reminds me of Summeriferous. Exactly the same kind of day 2 years ago, sweltering hot. I didn’t have it in mind at all, it just came out, and ireally really thought it sounded fantastic…..hence. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/09%20Fantastic.mp3|titles=Fantastic|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy.
I never do 2 covers in a set of 10. Then I got carried away. Oh well, it sounds too good to just leave. Long Hair Bon Jovi. Can’t beat it. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/08%20Born%20to%20be%20my%20Baby.mp3|title=Born To Be My Baby|artists=Mark J Turner]
Been listening to a lot of Dream Theater’s new album last night, and playing a lot of Bon Jovi. This just came together during a “lets thrash in the new strings session”, and I think has a cool funky thing going on. Enjoy. […]
Enjoy [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/06%20Naked%20Charm.mp3|titles=Naked Charm|artists=Mark J Turner] Fast simple and fun.
This came together very fast. Mix is a bit rough, but its one of those tracks I just had enough of and was tired….. I really enjoyed the main riff, and the idea for the break came whilst I was away for a few days. […]
A rare two songs in one day. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/04%20Splendid%20Isolation.mp3|titles=Splendid Isolation|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy. Technews: Back on all onboard.
Something new. Simple and fun. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/03%20Writing%20On%20Walls.mp3|titles=Writing On Walls|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy. For techies, no on-board effects at all, pure Marshall and Line6 😀
Another cover…..seem to be stuck in an 80’s glam rock revival right now…..still, it’s great 😀 [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Breaking%20A%20Promise/02%20Gods%20Of%20War.mp3|titles=Gods of War|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy 🙂
New Song, New Album – new name, new album-name – also a new sound. Will record the next set using the ESP and have a recut main guitar sound which is much thicker using my Line6 through a Marshall rather than onboard rhythm guitar […]
Breaking A Promise was my first collection for 2014. Planned to go for a harder edgier sound, with a new Rhythm Guitar setup, but of course, with lots of melodic lead overlays. Unlike every other album so far, has two covers included, both soft rock 80’s hits, […]
Final song for “Friend….“. And yes, I can. Totally new sound……. Feel It Deep Inside Enjoy…
My 1 cover for the set of 10 on “A Friend Wears A Smile“. Nominated by and dedicated to someone with exquisite taste 🙂 Have to admit, much of the keyboard was beyond me, however some nifty slowly recorded, faster played back help…..Everything else is all […]
Something new….nearly 9 months since I wrote and recorded something new, thanks to Apple, Mac OS X Mavericks, a new iMac and a completely broken USB driver. Only took apple 8 months to fix, well done guys….. Bit rusty on the old mixer, and first time […]
Something new…..rockin’ stuff. [audio:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39223099/My%20Music/A%20Friend%20Wears%20A%20Smile/02%20She%20Was%2C%20She%20Is.mp3|titles=She Was She Is|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy.
New song, new collection. Has something interesting about it I think, enjoyed how it worked out. Nice sound. New bass mix (new bass in fact). [audio:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39223099/My%20Music/A%20Friend%20Wears%20A%20Smile/01%20A%20Friend%20Wears%20A%20Smile.mp3|titles=A Friend Wears A Smile|artists=Mark J Turner] Hope you enjoy.
The last….really nice. [audio:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39223099/My%20Music/Two%20Worlds/10%20My%20Diamond%20Queen.mp3|titles=My Diamond Queen|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy.
A Friend Wears A Smile was completed in April 2014 – after a hiatus of nearly 6 months following a breakdown in my studio which took a while to repair. My favourite track on this collection is “Facing Down The Sun”, whilst the cover suggested to […]
Yeah – 3 months with nothing, then 2 songs in 2 days 🙂 [audio:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39223099/My%20Music/Two%20Worlds/08%20The%20Warrior%20King.mp3|titles=The Warrior King|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy.
Here’s my latest – been a few months off, equivalent of writers block and/or lack of interest. Generally learnt to not push it, and today this just seemed to happen. First song with my new Yamaha Bass. [audio:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39223099/My%20Music/Two%20Worlds/07%20Worlds%20of%20Time.mp3|titles=Worlds Of Time|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy. […]
[audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Two%20Worlds/06%20Find%20Me%20A%20Space%20Cadet.mp3|titles=Find Me A Space Cadet|artists=Mark J Turner] Something new….. Any prizes for guessing the new “space cadet” that inspired the title.
Something new – done whilst grimly ill with winter sickness bug. Nice tho, [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Two%20Worlds/05%20Impossible%20To%20The%20End.mp3|titles=Impossible To The End|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy!
A cover, of Dream Theater’s original, and brilliant track, Surrounded. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Two%20Worlds/04%20Surrounded.mp3|titles=Surrounded|artists=Mark J Turner]
And it really is….. Got a new sound here…..guitars are coming direct from the PODHD500 – definitely sounds different, remains to be seen whether I keep it or not – will have to listen and see how it goes…. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Two%20Worlds/03%20Mesmerising.mp3|titles=Mesmerising|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy! […]
Song number two, for “Two Worlds”. One of those songs that hung around inside Logic for weeks, and smelled bad. I think the end result is ok, but it wasn’t what I started out for. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Two%20Worlds/02%20Make%20A%20Stand.mp3|titles=Make A Stand|artists=Mark J Turner] Make of it […]
Song number 1, “Two Worlds“. Enjoy. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Two%20Worlds/01%20Two%20Worlds.mp3|titles=Two Worlds|artists=Mark J Turner]
Huge thanks and admiration to a virtual-friend on iCompositions.com who took a drum-loop-less mix of “One Door Closes” from “Leap of Faith” and recorded his own incredible talent onto it – real drums on one of my compositions sounds fantastic, really loving it – check it […]
I’ve decided to create a seperate collection for all the cover’s I’ve created over the past 9 years. I started a personal tradition of completing 1 cover for every 10 songs – it started off as an excercise to deal with “writers block”, and has […]
Two Worlds was completed in January 2016. It contains a couple of absolute favourites of mine, notably “My Diamond Queen”. The cover of Dream Theater’s ‘Surrounded’ is also a good listen.
This will be the last track on “Leap Of Fatih”. The album ends with energy and pace, enjoy. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Leap%20Of%20Faith/10%20Making%20Waves.mp3|artists=Mark J Turner|titles=Making Waves]
A a new year, and a new song. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Leap%20Of%20Faith/08%20One%20Door%20Closes%E2%80%A6.mp3|titles=One Door Closes…|artists=Mark J Turner] Enjoy….
Something new – almost qualifies as short 🙂 [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Leap%20Of%20Faith/07%20No%20Part%20Of%20That%20Mess.mp3|titles=No Part Of That Mess|autostart=yes] Enjoy….
Of all my songs, desperately needs vocals – written for that James LaBrie like vocalist. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Leap%20Of%20Faith/06%20With%20Passion.mp3|titles=With Passion|autostart=yes]
One day off….and one new song. [audio:http://www.morks.net/music/Leap%20Of%20Faith/05%20Fair%20Warning.mp3|titles=Fair Warning|autostart=yes] Enjoy!
