A medium speed dance tune, but not wholly so; as with many of my tunes, there’s a meditative feeling in there somewhere and this time they are accompanied by some soft key work, floaty pads and an exciting rhythm line up…look out for the brass too!

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
A Bright summers day on top of hill in the middle of the English countryside, or if you prefer night time, then that’s no problem either. Away from the hustle and bustle from man’s busy world is a must, as is somewhere alone, or perhaps not, it’s up to you. Just press play and fly the day away. Sleepin’ on the Wind For me, its daytime and any green field which leads to a hill or high point and I just lye on my back, with my arms loosely by my sides and close my eyes after taking in the splendid blue skies above me. The sky isn’t quite empty though, for here and there are my friends the clouds; the bringers of rain at times, when there darkness brings to us life’s gift, water. As my mind remembers the few white fluffy cumulus clouds that were dotted about the beautiful blue sky, my arms begin to feel lighter, almost lighter than air and as a result they begin to slowly and gently move away from the sides of my body. I can feel the air passing by me now, making the hairs on my arms stand on end as it passes and all round them, as well as it flowing past my face and it felt so warm and very friendly that my eyelids and the sides of my face were being caressed by it, like I was having my whole face worked on by the most tender of masseurs and she followed me as I lifted slowly up in exactly the same position as I had been laying; I was floating! I could feel myself rising ever higher, searching to reach those clouds I had been looking at only a few moments earlier. As I got used to being on the wind, I began to move my arms, slowly at first because I was still unsure of whether I might spoil the air’s gift. Like a swimmer gliding through water, any movement of my legs which were now together behind me, or my arms that were at right angles to my body, did indeed change my path as the winds flow reacted to it, but because of the decreased density in air, each movement I made caused far more movement than that of any swimmer. As time ticked ever so slowly by I felt myself become more and more confident of my flying ability, after all, the only danger was slamming into the ground and as long as I was at this height, I was nowhere near the ground. With my arms by my sides now, I arched my body forwards ever so slightly and immediately I span head over heels as many time as I’d wish to hold my same position. If I then straightened back up, I would just soar along, or straightening up below the horizontal I would of course execute a dive and by pulling my body into a slight backward arch at the same time as pulling my arms back to right angles, I would once again gain the height I had lost; I could fly! As long as the wind was there, or even the air that contained it, I really could fly wherever I wanted to, and for as long as I wished. I flew all day and what was at first a beautiful afternoon, turned into a magnificent day, which I have remembered ever since that first time. Here’s to the gifts of life and all that is there for us to behold and enjoy.
