Check out "Lemuria"

This was an experiment where I only allowed myself to use my own original samples. The instruments used to make these samples were a harmonica, ukelele, recorder, Nylon Acoustic guitar, Wine glasses, and lots of various household item sounds such as matches, zippers, marbles, coins, etc... to create the percussion and drum sounds.

here it is...

So tell me, do you believe Lemuria existed?
It's rather like Atlantis isn't it, only on the other
side of the globe?

lol This was the most fun I've ever had making any kind of art.

I believe we had civilizations in our ancient past that were way more advanced than us right now and way more sane. Whenever I listen to Prince's The Rainbow Children album the way I interpret it is that he is talking about the paradisiacal earlier times and then we had "the fall" - the gradual corruption of humanity.

Hey Devin, that's what it's all about...FUN, that is.... lol
Not only did you enjoy making, I enjoyed listening... cool

You have an interesting take on Prince's Rainbow Children.....

And this civilization....they couldn't have been our ancesters,
unless of course some of them managed to travel beyond
their island....but then again it might have been connected to
mainland at that time. And I already know the "alien" aspect... lol

There are lots of things in ancient history that are interesting to ponder...
the list is long, and very exciting... cool

Devin, this would be nice with lyrics.

I can definitely hear some type of narrative being told. cool

The subtle voices towards the end are enticing,
a definite plus.

It went all over the place,..in a good way.

I enjoyed it.

If they were E.T.s with advanced technology beyond ours today then they wouldn't let a little body of water stop them from traveling all over the earth. Look at how many similarities there are between different our different cultures - something had to influence all of them.

I'm glad you had fun listening to it. biggrin

And thank you tony for checking it out. cool

I did! lol

That's true, if they were E.T.'s...the similarities may be due to the
fact that our lands were connected at one time...travel may have been
ponderous then, but not impossible. Look at the last land connection
in history(I think) the land bridging Asia and North America, where the Bering Strait is present day.

So on the one hand E.T.'s and on the other, natural intermingling amongst races.

Just another thought...another way of thinking about this... biggrin
