10 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Gentle, WORLD: Australian
Details:
Ben Mackenzie is a singer songwriter for adults and children, and resides in the land down under(Australia that is)
He''s also a Primary (elementary) School Teacher for State schools and Rudolf Steiner Education
He''s a trained actor (both in Australia and New York). While he was here in New York he met John Greenfield(Mirror Records and also on CD BABY) and recorded many a song with Claudia Myer(extraordinary operatic German voice doing heartfelt acoustic music) which will be released as an album in the near future.
He has performed on stage, in Televison and film, video presentations, and as a storyteller.
He has also recorded one children''s album- ''Little Star'' and one family album-''Let''s Live As One''(also available on CD baby)
This album is the result of a live recording at Le Soir Mystique- a late night supper club held monthly at the Mittagong Playhouse in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. This recording captured an intimate evening of acoustic music by Ben Mackenzie(guitar, lead vocals and harmonica), Simone Olding(vocals, flute, bazouki and various percussion), and Louise Bell(piano and harp).
Ben''s songs are layered with emotion, heartfelt, but pure in delivery and pervade an honest longing of spirit and love without sentimentality. Universal themes intertwine with scattered pieces of wisdom and inspiration, but held in reality by the meeting of one''s own journey and all its paradoxes.
The combination of instruments and the talent of Lousie Bell(multi instrumentalist including harp and clarinet, as well as a piano teacher and singer/songwriter), and Simone Olding( multi instrumentalist including flute, recorders of every description, bazooka and various percussion, singer/songwriter and well known in the Australian/ Irish music scene-several albums, make this album a unique, atmospheric journey of longing, heart and spirit.
"Ben Mackenzie paints a captivating picture of the beauty of human emotion with his words, coloured by a rich range of instruments and vocals. This music speaks to me of a man with uncommon sensitivity and an incredible ability to craft words into an expression of the human experience The result is an album with enduring appeal".
