The <br />message of the piece was a reflection on the shrinking state of the world. <br />Countries becoming like neighborhoods, don't you think?<br /> I used a mix of middle eastern instrumentation with elements of rock <br />and funk to create a world fusion type of sound to reinforce the theme <br />of the shrinking world. They all go together quite well, one can only <br />hope that our world future can be so harmonious.<br /> Thanks for your comments, and I'm glad you liked it.<br /> Mike Palin<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30928219-5598437935930478306?l=mrpalinsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr Palinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12225329972959338783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30928219.post-1153370378946829952006-07-20T00:26:00.000-04:002006-07-20T00:55:46.046-04:00Well, I've finally assembled all the parts that I intended to assemble in this pastiche from the recent past of my musical endeavors.<br />I also want to list:<br /> - house bassist at the <em><strong>Connecticut Cabaret Theatre</strong></em><br /> - frequent substitute bassist with the Brazilian Jazz Group <em><strong>Samba Brazil</strong></em><br /> - regional bassist with the jazz singer <strong><em>Napua Davoy </em></strong><br /> - Bassist with the <strong><em>Central Connecticut State University Orchestra</em></strong><em></em><br />I think this will give you a snapshot or insight into what I do musically.<br />Tell me what you think.<br />Peace,<br /><em><strong>Mr "P"</strong></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30928219-115337037894682995?l=mrpalinsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr Palinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12225329972959338783noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30928219.post-1153193323034123652006-07-17T23:24:00.000-04:002006-07-20T00:21:10.726-04:00My Other Orchestra At the 880 Club circa 2000<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1771/3326/1600/OtherOrchestra.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1771/3326/320/OtherOrchestra.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Category: Photo Galleries <br /><br />Other Orchestra on the TV program <em>Rue Borboun</em><br /><object width="330" height="268"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CrtdrEHKnR4"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CrtdrEHKnR4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="330" height="268"></embed></object><br />Category: Video Clips<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30928219-115319332303412365?l=mrpalinsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr Palinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12225329972959338783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30928219.post-1153163493929897882006-07-17T15:09:00.000-04:002006-07-17T23:44:26.026-04:00These photos are taken from my BEST portfolio video tape.
