New Website Coming! Yes folks, it's been a long time since I
updated this site, but it's been a cunt of a year, a real bastard,
and I haven't been able to devote the necessary time to accomplish the
required full rewrite. However, I'm now on the job and have got the basics
working without the damn Front Page and I expect to get most of my sites
rewritten by Christmas 2008... |

"Life On The Dole" demo finished
This album, the second by The Martian Way, has been my prime focus all year. It contains 12 songs in the rock idiom, providing a comprehensive insight into what life is like for the long term unemployed. This album has been 25 years in the making, with many of the songs being written in the 1980s, the remainder come from the last decade or so and provide the depth and perspective to really seal the work. I have learnt quite a bit about recording and arranging over the past few years and thanks to some new equipment, samples and software this album is the most professional yet. It was a lot of work but I am well proud of it! I began writing the arrangements in January 2007 and finished them in May. I started recording soon after and finished in October. Final mixdown was done on 18th October, 2007 after a few beers. Copies of the CD have been sent off to the usual suspects touting for commercial backing. In the event that they are disinterested I will post it on The Martian Way's website, in the new year. |

"Songs Of Travel" demo finished
I have added to Ralph Vaughan Williams' settings of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Songs of Travel" by setting an additional 12 of RLS' poems to music, whilst keeping to the genre of classical lieder for Bass Voice and Piano. The end result is 21 songs that form a cohesive package of universal themes, offering memorable melodies, complex harmony and the opportunity for a standard Bass or low Baritone to really shine. As expected, the commercial record companies were not interested in taking on this project despite its low cost and low risk, so it is just sitting dormant for the moment. I may in due course make the demo available here, but not yet. If you are interested in hearing it you could email me... October 30 2006 - Mixdown complete for the synthesized backing demo. August 2006 - Finished the arrangements. July 2006 - Finished writing the songs.

The "Martian Photo Pages" released! April 23 2006 - Nothing like having content on a web site and here's another chunk. My photography section contains ideas and opinions on various aspects of photography, but most of all it contains over 100 samples of my best work. These pictures are FULL SIZE and come with full EXIF metadata. There is also a reduced size version for those with dialup. Check out my hotshots! More fruits of the extra space. |

"A Young Man's Love" now available for direct
download April 15 2006 - Setup the Martian Way downloads page with the necessary links and uploaded the MP3 and auxiliary files for "A Young Man's Love". The first fruits of the extra space I now have
at my disposal. I realise most people don't use P2P so you can now get the
stuff direct.

joke, and perhaps this might be the first serious recording? Read all about it and download the MP3 from the bottom of my Hedgehog Page.

This is the prime portal to all works of Warren Mars, of which there are many. I am forced to release my works here for free
owing to the small-minded, closed-shop attitude of publishers, record companies,
performance ensembles and generally anyone in control the world over.
