about

This is a part of my personnal story.
It was written in Bangkok in 2012 by a octogenarian lady from Great Britain, during an international summit of music-therapy, organized by IAMM.
This moved me and i wanted to pay a tribute to her. She did not sign and i can get hold of her name.
Maybe some day somehow she'll hear the song, i feel very excited about this !

lyrics

There was a young man of Paree
Whose way forward he couldn't see
He simply wanted to be "himself"
No matter if he looked just like an elf.
After all one couldn't be ordinary
When his identity had to be baggy
Perhaps a reborn Samurai
With no weapon to go with his shaggy
bonvenience reign supreme
The like of which none had ever seen.
-(Maybe it's all) a reincarnation
Out of synch with today's situation-

CHORUS
The fish in the water is silent,
The animal on earth is noisy,
The bird in the air is singing ;
But Man has in him the silence of the sea,
the noise of the earth and the music of the air.

Because identity isn't about one-mine
One's I has many roles in time
A scholar, tramp, musician, father
Seeker travelling ever further
When life's solution is there within
The inner I is not one's ego
Nor driven by will ever to go
Seaching, seeking, surfacing soon (x2)

Hopefully then there'll be a vocation
To render service to whatever nation
Render the world a service of some kind
helping education of both heart and mind

CHORUS

about

Mariano France

As a multi instrumentist, i enjoy playing around with sounds and grooves !

I'm extremely happy to share my first solo album !
It is a mix between accoustic instruments such as trumpet, singing, didgeridoo, ... and groovy selected and recorded loops !

I like experimenting around throat singing, talking about love. These songs are first "mantras" to me, so i don't forget the lessons i learn ... more
