This is my third Jamendo album under the name of Mawr Gorshin (I've also published Jamendo albums, mostly of classical music, under my original name, Martin Gross).  Once again, I've written songs in a wide variety of styles.  

'Lucille' is a dance song with an erotic theme (don't take it too seriously: it's just for fun).  It's melodically based on an octatonic scale, and I experimented with a little vocal fry register. 'Angelic Devils' reminds us to distinguish between those families, religious leaders, and politicians who are good...and those who are bad.  A little vocal fry there, too, as well as some falsetto.  Musically, it is influenced by Tricky's song 'Money Greedy' and Balinese gamelan music.  'Infinite Ocean' is a speculation about the mystical unity of the universe: musically, the melodies of each instrument rise and fall like the waves of the ocean, but in time signatures that are mostly different from each other to symbolize how all the cycles of life occur in an infinitely complex combination of ways.  'My Cold Heart', in 7/8 time, is about my difficulty (and, by extension, many people's difficulty) with accepting the love and friendship of others.  'Tribal Victory March', musically a combination of African, Balinese, and 20th century classical elements, is a satirical look at the xenophobic mentality of those who celebrate violence against other nations.  During the instrumental section, you'll hear a whole-tone scale, octatonic scale, and other unusual scales, all of whose dissonance symbolize the violence and hatred expressed, at the beginning, by the demagogue and his thoughtless followers.  'The Happy Song' is in a 1930s jazz style.  'Moonlit Strolls' is my attempt at off-off-off-off....etc., Broadway.  In 'Nothing to Fear', we hear more mystical speculations.  'I'm Hip' is a straightforward rock song.  

Again, I sang all the lead and background vocals, and played all the instruments.  You'll hear electric (Gibson SG) guitar, acoustic guitar, and classical guitar.  Also, there are keyboards (a Roland sampler piano and a Yamaha synthesizer), percussion (bongoes, tambourine, maracas, triangle, cowbell [let me know if more is needed], claves, etc.), and wind instruments (alto and soprano recorders, harmonica, and a little bit of ocarina).
