Ramble On Bear
I like it when life makes circles. After all these years of playing around with solar panels and bio-fuel for busses I am presently getting ready to pack some stuff on a bicycle and go riding with the Ginger Ninjas on the Bicycle Music Festival Tour of the Pacific Northwest, August 14th through the 30th ( check out this amazing phenomenon at gingerningas.com/bmf ). It reminds me of when I was a kid. Only this is even better because we are equipped with bicycles that can generate electricity to power music equipment for concerts in Eugene, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, and all along the way, and then finally ending up at Black Rock City for the Burning man Festival.
It is within this setting that I'm celebrating the release of I'm a Mystery, my new solo cd. Thanks for all of those who encouraged me to finish this project. On it you'll find some love songs, my clarinet debut, a song written by my mother featuring vocals by my daughter, Rose, some piano songs recorded here at my house, some sweet vocals by Somer Moon, some bass and guitar by Silas Dyken, some drums by Mark Dyken, some funny songs, some strange songs, some serious and deep songs, some cello from Joey Chang (whom i first jammed with on bike music tour in Mexico). These are very personal songs from my life, and then again they are just songs after all, could be anyones life.
Please and thank you, support me by buying this cd, I really appreciate it! You will soon be able to buy it whole or by each song here on the Clan Dyken website but it would be more fun if you rode your bike to one of the shows. Stay tuned for the new Clan Dyken cd coming up soon.
Socially conscious, full of hope, a touch of anger, a bit of humor and of course danceable grooves. Flute and drum songs break up the familiar while the Burning Man Techno influence and the life of musical activists are all found in the songs.
