Raine Studios

This is - Allan Bird + (Allan Briany) + either of the two ‘Raine Studios accounts.

This is my final message to all who SAY you enjoy my music so much.

“Effortlessly Drifting While Musically Shifting” is the second last track you will hear from me on this website, because as previously mentioned - I am a struggling pensioner of 67, living in Cape Town and last week I was forced to pawn my keyboard in order to pay this month’s rent and to calm the hounds at the door.

In June 2017, I released my debut’ (Another Land) via all the On-Line music stores. Then in 2019, I released my 2nd album (Another Place) and to date - only 14 albums were purchased (8 of those were my friends). So without a keyboard I cannot compose, play, record or release the proposed 3rd album (Another Time).

Sadly, due to the overwhelming silence out there , the N1M tribe has spoken (ha ha haa) and I have to hand in my musical torch. But, the only thing I still struggle with is, how can US$ 99 cents be too expensive in 2021 to purchase ONE single track of music? It boggles the mind.

I bid you all happy listening and please take heed of this piece of very sound advice.

“Create a Perfect day for yourself by doing something for someone
who has NO way of ever repaying you – it REALLY changes lives.”

THANK YOU ALL for an amazing ride,

God bless and please STAY SAFE out there,

Allan

Hello N1M listeners and dedicated music lovers out there,

Firstly, for the 32 new subscribers within the last 2 weeks (mostly from Canada) absolutely awesome to have you on-board, and a huge THANK YOU to those who also recommended my tracks to all your contacts on social media – THAT is greatly appreciated.

Secondly for the newcomers who might not yet - have figured it all out.
My real name is Allan Bird and I am the sole composer, musician, and producer of 3 tracks on (Allan Bird) + two diff accounts of (‘Raine Studios) as well as - the recently created Allan Briany account. That was the only (legal) way to upload 12 current songs of mine onto (expired link).

And an extra HUGE thank you goes to Bernice down under who negotiated with a radio DJ to play Dance Across The Nations – across her city last weekend.
--------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:
Today is the 1st of February and I am currently writing and recording new songs for my 3rd instrumental album (music for film) and hope to release it by 1st April. However, should I complete the production earlier, I will definitely notify each of you personally via email for sure.

To those who kindly wrote me and said Dance Across the Nations IS my best song, ha ha haaa.
I accept the bait (and silent challenge), but I intend to compose at least two tracks to beat that record you guys have set for me.

I am also soooo very glad most of you enjoyed the original train tracks sound effects on Robi’s Theme and he blushed when he heard many ladies said his Swiss-German accent was sexy.

Finally - please be very careful during this time of uncertainty out there and stay safe because you are young and you allll have your whole lives ahead of you. Therefore MAKE A POINT of not being caught out and ending up in any hospital because of a few silly hugs, kisses & get-togethers which could have put on hold a little longer!

Enjoy - listen – dance – laugh – while YOU create the most fantastic life for yourself . . . in time.


God bless all of you,

Allan

Helloo subscribers,

Firstly, I hope you are playing it veryyy safe and wearing those terrible bloody masks outdoors (I hate them with a passion) ha ha ha.

My 2nd album was finally released and can be found via Spotify, Napster, Amazon Prime, iTunes, and some 112 One Line music stores around the world - should you wish to go and listen or purchase.

THANK YOU for all your patience and very, VERY kind words of inspiration and encouragement towards my craft and music.

God bless and keep you guys out there safe,

Hello Music Lovers out there,

This is to officially state that my 2nd instrumental album Another Place (also music for film) will be released this coming Friday 11th September 2020.
My trial period has expired here making it impossible to alert even one of my 500 subscribers so I will personally notify as many as I can by email that sent messages or subscribed over the years.

For those who are not sure who I really am - my name is Allan Bird and I reside in Cape Town, S. Africa. Everything I compose, record, sing or play and produce . . . is all done under the same brand or label of ’Raine Studios.

Therefore titles you have heard like (Can’t Stop Me Now) – (Flight of Cindy-Lee) – (The Second You Believe) – (Another Land) – (Dance Across The Nations) – (Inspector Grant Morton) – (Theme from Robi On The Midnight Express from Zurich) were all composed and recorded by one and the same – in order for me to get 6 tracks on this site.

I hope you like most of the tracks on this upcoming album and for those of you who are true believers - I am also a fulltime missionary and gospel artist with a No. 1 album way back in 1983 that I have re-mastered and released 2 years ago on all On-Line music outlets should you at all be interested. The album is called “Jesus Was a Teenager Too” by Allan Bird.

Thank you all for listening, inspiring me on and due to this lockdown period, I am getting so much more music composed and recorded - I’m already busy on the 3rd album (Another Time) which will be released hopefully in the first week of December this year.


God bless all you guys out there and PLEASE be careful, stay safe, and keep that darn frustrating mask on so others cannot place you in hospital.


Allan.

Hello N1M Subscribers,

THANK YOU all for your huge contribution of inspiration by following my music and especially for those who recommended it to friends and family. But those personal emails that many of you sent REALLY blessed me outta my socks – to know individuals honestly believe I compose and produce good music.

Sadly, I am here to say goodbye and leave you with something very special I created for all of you when I knew I had 24 hours left to play, record, mix and walk away that which I love doing.

For those who contacted me asking when the 2nd album would be released, I apologize . . . as I really thought I could finish everything before I lost the means to continue. But know this - that 90% of the 14 songs were completed before those unforeseen circumstances popped its head round the corner.

Those who wish to email me - know that I will reply to you, but from 1st Jan 2020, I shall no longer be visiting N1M website as there will be no point any more.

I hope alllll you music lovers will continue searching and hunting for great new artists out there and go and inspire them like you did me . . . and give them a chance to get heard and their music shared with thousands across the globe.

Have yourselves a beautiful 2020 and remember a little motto I created and live by which I believe I did
accomplish – via my music.

“Create a perfect day for yourself - by doing something for someone who has NO WAY of ever repaying you . . . IT IS Life changing!


And my early Christmas gift to you all out there . . . has just been uploaded on N1M –
CAN'T STOP ME NOW!

God richly bless you and your families out there,
Allan.
