If you get a chance, check out the Siren of the Sea youtube video that Gary did for Rayon Vert. Nice work Gary!
<p><span style="font-size: small;">About the song:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">DrC - all keyboards, drum programming, and mixing/production.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary Carciello - all guitars and bass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson - all vocals, melody and lyric.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Note: If you are wondering where Rob Grant is....well not to fret. He's on a temporary hiatus and will be back.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">This is our 3rd song of the year so far. It's a driving classic rocker called Lightfighter that sounds like it was transported right out of the 1970's into 2012. Gary does some great guitar work with nice harmony guitar riffs and a hot solo. DrC's B3 is still smokin' from the excellent keys he's placed in this song. Me....I get the music, write some lyric, find a melody, and sing it to the song. If you hear a little Uriah Heep influence here that's fine by us, we heard it also, lol.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">About the lyric: It's a story of an imaginary group of warriors called Lightfighters that are more than imaginary. It's also a tale of a young man that was selected to become a Lighfighter based on his charater and bravery. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We hope you like it!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson for Rayon Vert</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">DrC - all keyboards, production and mixing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary Carciello - All guitars, <span style="font-size: small;">drums programming/sequencing</span>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Rob Grant - Bass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson - Lyric, melody, and all vocals.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Alright......the first Rayon Vert song of 2012! Gary sent this song idea over and it sat for a few months while we all tended to personal stuff and weathered though the holidays but once we got on it the song came together quickly. RV is back at it and ready to roll out some more prog rock tunes</span> <span style="font-size: small;">and who knows what else we will come up with? Maybe some different styles are on the horizon..........</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell for Rayon Vert</span></p>
<p>I thought I would re-blog this song, Dark Passenger for a couple of reasons. (1) to try out the new player attachment and (2) to see if I can get a few more listens to this cool song idea that Rob Grant orginally came up with.</p><p>I hope the new player attachment works and I hope to it draws some interest to the song, lol.</p><p>Farrell for Rayon Vert</p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="450" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="radio_id=&song_id=23091&band_id=10&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450&system_name=Mixposure.com"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf"></param><param name="name" value="video"></param><param name="flashvars" value="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=23091&band_id=10&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="450" src="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf" name="video" wmode="transparent" quality="high" flashvars="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=23091&band_id=10&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /> <strong><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/index.php?t=mix_signup">Create Your Own Playlist</a></strong><br /><a href="http://www.mixposure.com">Mixposure.com</a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span>DrC - all keyboards and mix production.</span></p><p> <span style="font-size: small;">Rob Grant - bass guitar.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary Carciello - all guitars, drums programming, and original song idea.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson - lyric, melody, and all vocals.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">About the song:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We seem to be on a song a month schedule. Who's The Winner is the third completed Rayon Vert song in as many months. I think that's pretty good given the complexity of the songs, all of our busy schedules, and considering we live thousands of miles from one another.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">About the lyric:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">This set of lyric is a recognition of sorts to Gerry Rafferty who passed away January 4th, 2011 from liver failure. 63 is way too young to die. He was a great songwriter with a great voice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We hope you like RV's new song, Who's The Winner?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"> Farrell Jackson for Rayon Vert</span></p><p> </p>
<p>About the song The Wayfarer:</p><p>Gary Carciello - original song idea and drums programming. All guitars</p><p>DrC - all keyboards, final drums programming, production, mixing/mastering</p><p>Rob Grant - Bass guitar.</p><p>Farrell - Vocal, melody, and lyric.</p><p>This is Rayon Vert's first song out of the gates after a 5 month group layoff. The pause was due to many things....like busy lives and each doing our own musical work.... but it certainly wasn't a lack of desire, inspiration, or energy on our parts. I think you might hear some of that pent up Rayon Vert energy released in this song. I contacted everyone in November and asked if we were ready to rock 'n roll once again. I got a resounding yes so here we are with our first on the list of a few back logged songs. Gary sent this nearly completed demo song to us all for our thoughts and we enthusiastically went to work on it. Gary's guitar playing and his song ideas in general still amazes the heck out of me/us. Rob's bass is just as solid as ever and it holds down the fort with thundering conviction. DrC's keyboard skills go without saying....we all know he rocks but DrC seems to know where and how to place them for maximum effect. Plus his production, mixing, and mastering skills just keep getting better! Me? Well I have the easy part...I just write the lyric and sing them...the most difficult part for me is delivering a vocal that matches the feel of the song.</p><p>About the lyric: It's about the confusion generated from misunderstandings that we all experience once in a while. This causes a wandering or searching of the mind trying to figure out what or why something happened......hence The Wayfarer.</p><p>I think we all hit our groove with this song but you, the listeners, will be the ones to say yes or no........ We hope you like it!</p><p>Farrell Jackson for Rayon Vert</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Rob Grant - original song idea and bass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">DrC - all keyboards, drum programming, production, and mix/mastering.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary Carciello - all guitars</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson - all vocals, lyric and melody.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">About the song: Rob presented this song idea to the Rayon Vert members and we all embraced it...we heard the potential! As with many of the ideas that gets tossed to the group, this began at one place and ended in another as the Rayon Vert metamorphosis took place. Rob's original idea had an acoustic guitar rhythm and the song's overall tone was not as heavy as it ended up but it had those progressive rock elements built in that comes so naturally in Rob's writing. Rob had the bass chops down as always but we all know Rob is also a well rounded musician that includes keys and guitar.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We hope you enjoy our new song!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell for Rayon Vert</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">DrC - song idea, all keyboards, drums programming, and mixing/mastering.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Gary Carciello - all guitars.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Rob Grant - bass guitar.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson - melody, lyric, and all vocals.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>About the song:</strong><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Time Traveler is quite a journey of a proggy song. It's more than 10 minutes in length and has an unusual chord structure with some cool tempo changes that will hold your interest throughout. You'll hear some excellent keys and drum programming from DrC, very creative and tastily placed guitars by Gary, and I've said this many times but Rob's bass playing and the structure/patterns he uses are never in the box which gives the song a great foundation. My melody and vocal ideas? Well....I just followed the unusual chord structure and this is what came about.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">We hope you enjoy our song, Time Traveler!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Farrell Jackson for Rayon Vert<br /></span></p>
