Terra Shanti

I just added a new song that I wrote in memory of a dear friend, brilliant guitarist, and all around unique human being titled "Face In The Wind - The Ballad of Mark Goddard." Give it listen if you like a good solid rocking tune for sure!

In the meantime I have spent the better part of my down time this year working on some finger-style acoustic pieces. My technique has expanded quite a bit though I am far from polished just yet, but I am getting close enough to start thinking about getting some of them recorded.

Until then I wish all of you an amazing and prosperous 2021! M. Shanti

I just posted a new song written in tribute to dear friend and awesome guitarist who succumbed to cancer way too young.

I've been promising new material for a while and I have just posted a track from the project I am working on. It is titled - Just A Guy.

I hope you all like it and I very much want to hear what you think of it.

Be Peace, Be Love!

Hey there everyone, I hope you are all having the holiday season you are hoping for, filled with joy, family, friends, and most of all a lot of love! I have released a 12 song set on Spotify, Itunes and several other sites. Many of you have asked for the opportunity to get Ascension Call in your library so here is the Spotify link. You can search for Terra Shanti on iTunes as well.

May peace rule the season and highlight the new year :)

I am very excited to share with my news that you have all inspired me to post my music on iTunes, and pretty much every other such site. My CD, Welcome Home, should be available NOW! It was your many kind and encouraging comments that finally pushed me to get this done so I thank you all from the deepest, warmest parts of my heart.

Welcome Home is a collection of 12 songs, download one or all, so I hope you will look me up, Terra Shanti, on iTunes or Spotify. Many of you have specifically mentioned my song Ascension Call so I want you to know that it is available now, and if you really like that track I am confident you find at least a couple more from this collection that will satisfy.

Please reach out and let me know if you have problems finding my album, or share your thoughts on some of the other material that you have not heard yet. The link below is to a live clip at a small venue in Ojai, CA.

Hey Friends,

Know that your many kind words about my work mean a lot to me and I felt it only proper to share some of my activities with you. Many of you have asked about buying my music off iTunes so I am looking into the best way to do that. Apparently it is not as simple as upload a song and get rich. I have a lot of music so I need to make the service as economical as possible.

I would have had it done by now, however, the last 2 months have been a relentless string of car issues. A blown tranny, blown headgasket, 3 cars, and a van later it seems to have finally settled down. Now back to task!

I have been doing final mixes of my new songs/CD preparing them for vocals, that is always a slow process for me but I want them as right as I can get them. I am posting the demo mix of one of the new songs here for you to listen to and hopefully share some thoughts on.

For the moment I can only load 3 songs at a time so I had to drop one to make room for a new one. I like mixing things up by featuring songs that are distinctly different from each other, let me know if you like that approach. I will have a Sound Cloud link attached here pretty soon and then you can hear from all across my body of work so stay tuned!
