Every new day given to us, is the ultimate time to consider a fresh start. Maybe you are looking to improve your health, indulge a hobby, or even find new music to enjoy? Let me help you with that last one!
Music for a New World is a call to humanity. Consider how the World is Singing – when you go for a walk, enjoy blooming flowers, or stand at the edge of the ocean.

Marcome: River of Soul to the Seven Seas

As you may already know, some of the inspirations for my ambient new age music are travel, exercise, and simply enjoying life. I take the feelings I am experiencing and imagine how they sound. When I am inspired, I translate that sensation to inspiring music. When I am contemplative, the result may be a spiritual song.
Over the years, I have learned to allow the music composition process to unfold naturally. It cannot be forced. There are days where it seems like songs are practically bursting from my soul!
Recently, I was interviewed by Susan Leak of the Birmingham Music Examiner. We talked about my new age CDs, River of Soul and Seven Seas, and my creative process. I shared some of my dreams and the new projects I am working on.
I think that 2010 is going to be an exciting year… come along from the River of Soul to the Seven Seas… and beyond!

Marcome’s Music Composition and Sound Creation

Recently, I wrote about Finding Musical Inspiration…. what it is that moves me to compose my songs. In truth, there are many influences on my songwriting. My own music composition is different than that of other new age vocalists because I’m involved in all stages of production.
Not only do I sing, compose and play, but I am a professional sound engineer. You might say that sound creation is my specialty. I have described myself as “a hi-fi girl who’s into electronics!” Can you say that about other female music artists?
Marcome's Music Composition is like no other!
Chilling with Ambient New Age Music

Sometimes, I wonder if “New Age” has passed its prime, and we should just refer to the genre as ambient or new world. But, then I think that new age music still holds special qualities that should be celebrated and honored. Even though there may be some preconceptions with the term “New Age,” the style has evolved quite a bit since the 1960s when it first emerged on the scene.
To recognize the maturity of this genre and honor its roots, I believe that “ambient new age music” accurately describes today’s sounds. Yes, you’ll still hear experimental sounds and textures featuring synthesizers, acoustic and electric instruments. But listening to this music is not the same as it was 30 or 40 years ago.

Spirituality for Health and Happiness: Marcomé’s Journey

Through my music and on Twitter, I wish to convey my core values in an inviting & uplifting way. Spirituality became a key to my well-being. Health and happiness are secondary- the most important is How do I accompany myself in the good, in the turmoil of life! As a vocal artist, my feelings and emotions come through my work. I truly believe that you cannot be a successful singer songwriter is you are not in touch with your emotions!
I recently sat down for an interview with my friend and fellow Canadian, Evita Ochel. We discussed spirituality, emotional health, and my own journey over the years that has led me to the person that I am.
