Back to my acoustic roots for this one, using a combination of different guitar tracks and mandolin. When I was growing up, I always assumed that mankind was getting smarter and more civilised as technology developed. We would soon be driving around in flying cars, solve our global problems and live in harmony. But now I look back on our progress and the state of the world today, it looks like we keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Same old conflicts, same old prejudices, rampant pollution and no sign of international harmony. The ultimate lost opportunity! I used historical paintings as linking theme for the video, modifying them a little using Midjourney and then animating them with Pika Labs AI technology. See which paintings you can recognize. #midjourney @Pika_Labs , #pikalabs #chatbot , #aichatbots , #worldpeace #stopthehate #stopwar #stopfighting #newdawn MUSIC CREDIT: Turn Back History, by Torn Chorus Recorded and engineered at TC Studios, Auckland Music track is available on all major streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple, Tidal, etc. You can find the links here: https://artists.landr.com/064837441436 WEBSITE: www.tornchorus.com VIDEO CREDITS: Video by Franklin Davis shot on Sony FDR-AX53 camera.

This song brings back the big band sound, a feel-good, bluesy ballad that celebrates the joy of playing in a big ensemble, layering vocal harmonies over riffs from bass, guitars and horn section. My aim was to evoke the classic R&B/rock sounds from artists such as Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, Chicago and David Bowie, and give them a contemporary twist. Thanks go to PIKA LABS (@pika_labs) for bringing to life my AI-generated backing band, which I'm calling "The New Shadows", for obvious reasons. #theshadows #bigband #midjourney @Pika_Labs , #pikalabs #chatbot , #aichatbots #thenewshadows MUSIC CREDIT: Sing for You, by Torn Chorus Recorded and engineered at TC Studios, Auckland Music track is available on all major streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple, Tidal, etc. You can find the links here: https://artists.landr.com/064837149790 WEBSITE: www.tornchorus.com VIDEO CREDITS: Video by Franklin Davis shot on Sony FDR-AX53 camera.

I wrote the lyrics to this song a long time ago but I’ve only now completed the musical arrangement. Fast forward 40 years and the message is still relevant, in fact even more so. We seem to be consuming more plastic and processed foods than ever. If you like music videos and songs about our environment, please like and subscribe. I experimented with a new instrument on this track – the first time I’ve played a mandolin. It certainly takes the sound in a new direction and there are some special effects in the vocal to give a robotic effect. You will also see that I’ve combined live footage with AI generated photos and video clips. Big shout out to Midjourney and @Pika_Labs for making this technology available. #midjourney, #mandolinian, #mandalorian, @Pika_Labs , #pikalabs, #chatbot, #aichatbot MUSIC CREDIT: Mechanical High, by Torn Chorus Recorded and engineered at TC Studios, Auckland Music track is available on all major streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple, Tidal, etc. You can find the links here: https://artists.landr.com/055120952197 WEBSITE: www.tornchorus.com VIDEO CREDITS: Video by Franklin Davis shot on Sony FDR-AX53 camera.

The sun brings warmth and light into our lives. Without it, we could not survive. It is also a wonderful, clean source of power, which we need to harness more fully to help secure the future of our civilisation. I created this song and video to highlight the wonder of the sun and celebrate the spectacular beauty of southern light, showing landscapes and cityscapes in Aotearoa during sunrise and sunset.

For those who would like to see a video of me just playing and singing the whole song. No frilly bits. I used a 12 string Rickenbacker electric guitar to lay down the basic rhythm for the song, layered with tones from my Gibson Les Paul to clarify the tune and underpin the bass line. The Les Paul was also used for the solo guitar parts.

I’m sure that most of us have experienced the feelings conveyed in this song at some time or other, especially in the last few years. The need to escape from a stressful situation, get out of lockdown, or just get a small taste of freedom by letting go. There are some iconic escape and chase scenes in the video. See if you can spot them.

I am pleased to introduce my new single and the video for "No Other Love". I call this my homage to the early music of the Beatles, as well as to the catchy, guitar-driven pop music of the Swinging 60’s & the Summer of Love era. I hope you enjoy the catchy lyrics and video!

While I was composing this song, it seemed to have a "Beatle-esque" quality so I accentuated the catchy, pop style, using lots of vocal harmonies, and highlighted it further in this animated video. I guess you could call it my homage to the Fab Four, as well as to the guitar-driven pop music of the Swinging 60’s & the Summer of Love era. I hope you have fun looking for the various Beatles references scattered through the video.

This song is about how we often miss the obvious, even when it is staring us in the face. It makes a comparison between personal relationships and the relationship we have with our planet. If you like New Zealand music and videos, please like and subscribe. Do you think that Mother Earth is trying to tell us something? Do you think we are even listening? Covid has shown us that we can drastically reduce our international air travel and the planet will thank us for it. But Covid is only a side issue. There are far more destructive threats facing us. With a world population of nearly 8 billion souls, perhaps we need to heed this lesson and completely rethink how we impact on the environment before we completely ruin it. Climate change is only one potential symptom of our wasteful and pollutive habits. The prospect of nuclear war rears its ugly head again and we realise that threat has never gone away. We’ve just been ignoring it. Is it time to stand up for the human race and look after our planet and our fellow beings, or do we go the way of the dinosaurs?
