New Release! "Half a Man"

2018-04-12T10:58:53-04:00

Ethereal and surreal, a haunting dreamscape of evanescent textures, mystical Native American poetry, flutes, drums and neo-psychedelic guitar riffs that echo through the canyons of the mind like lost voices from another world -- Salanoki, wiikano.

Inspired by Clark's Amazon Top Selling western horror novel “Dead Balance”, the music and lyrics of "Half a Man" continues a spiritual journey that began with “Logan’s Lament”, Clouzine International Music Awards Winners "In My Dream" and "River of Lost Souls" into the surreal shadow world where Grammys® Recording Academy Artist Gary Wayne Clark (a.k.a. Earamas®; Rise of the Chimera, Passage to Niburu) weaves his musical mystery.

Channeling the spirit of the Ancient Ones, Logan Lone Bear Tuu'awata is a troubled Arapaho boy whose spirit is trapped between two worlds as he calls out to his soul mate, Raven Thunder Sky. With a host of ethereal voices speaking a shamanic spectral dream language of Arapaho and English, “Half A Man” delivers a heartfelt message across the divide for those who desperately cling to love... beyond the boundaries of this world.

Salanoki
Until we meet again

Wiikano
It is good

Wah-Pah-Kyeh Kyeh-Noh-Leh
Good bye

Kamoochi-Laakwa Kinoole no’ki
Maybe somewhere I’ll see you again

Music is Medicine

2018-04-02T12:15:57-04:00

After a near fatal accident in my family and a week in the trauma ward, exposed to the disorienting sensory overload of alarms, noise and confusion, I had an epiphany - if we could tame the sensory overload that overwhelms Patients with a calmer, structured sanctuary of sound, we could foster a more therapeutic healing environment that lowers Stress, Anxiety and Pain – reducing the need for potentially addictive Drugs.

My epiphany was that, for many of us - Music Is Medicine - so I designed a patent pending system, method, process and technology to test my Alternative Therapy of Complimentary Medicine delivery. And when I showed my design to local hospital, they immediately agreed to partner with me on a clinical trial, to prove the concept, and if successful, to share my system with many more Patients, Families and Caregivers.

My latest song 'Worlds Without End' is part of a Playlist designed meet some of these goals for Patients, Caregivers and others, with natural sounds, binaural beats and a gradually slowing tempo. Headphones on - find a quiet moment - take your heart rate at the start of the song, and then again at the end to see if it slows you down just a little. This meditative Playlist is just one aspect of my patent pending Patient Experience system - coming soon to your ears; mind, body and soul.

Peace my friends..

River of Lost Souls by Gary Wayne Clark

Ethereal and surreal, River of Lost Souls is a haunting paramour’s dreamscape of evanescent textures, awakening the sentries of the heart with mystical Native American poetry interwoven among flutes, drums and neo-psychedelic guitar riffs that echo through the canyons of the mind like lost voices from another world -- Heetíh-néé'eesoo-'.

Inspired by Clark's Amazon Top Selling western horror mystery novel “Dead Balance”, the music and lyrics of "River of Lost Souls" continues a spiritual journey that began with “Logan’s Lament” and “In My Dream” into a surreal shadow world where Grammys® Recording Academy Artist Gary Wayne Clark (Earamas®; Rise of the Chimera & Passage to Niburu) weaves his musical vision quest.

The Ancient Ones believe that based on our deeds in this world, some spirits are imprisoned in a purgatory like existence of multiple dimensions, side by side, within multiple worlds. When loved ones seeking atonement are taken too soon from this world and forced to cross over, part of their penitence leaves them trapped between worlds, desperately clinging to soul mates left behind. As their song of lover’s lament attempts to hold back the wheel of time, their eternal bond lingers in the ether of fleeting desperation. For now, they are but Wind Talkers, grasping for each other in the mist of dreams and those ephemeral moments the between the shadow and the light, between the iridescent hues of twilight and dawn.

As Native American proverbs teach us, “Day and night can’t live together,” and “There can be no rainbow without our tears.” True, but I choose to believe that for some of us, “Dreams are the truth, until we awaken.” And as Henry David Thoreau opined, “Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.”

New Song Coming!

2017-05-23T12:07:24-04:00

5 AM; Sunrise Along the Rockies:

Once again this morning, as every morning allows, I’m crafting poetry for a new song. Influenced by my accidental life and Leonard Cohen, I’m humbled by his words and immortal talent. I hear you, my literary and musical idol, as “I’m Traveling Light” along my own path. You are remembered in my soul.. and my guitar.

“Between the twilight.. and the dawn, when sunlight fades.. and then I’m gone.”
Excerpt from “And Then I’m Gone”, © 2017 Gary Wayne Clark

New Single By Gary Wayne Clark Released

2017-05-01T19:42:29-04:00

"In My Dream", described as "Dark, ethereal and surreal, a haunting indie rock duet driven by a tribal mix of bass-heavy beats interwoven with mystical Native American poetry that resonates like the echoes of a ghostly dream -- Nohuusóho'."

Inspired by Clark's Amazon Top Selling western horror novel “Dead Balance”, the music and lyrics of "In My Dream" (part of a WIP concept album & film) continues a spiritual journey that began with “Logan’s Lament” into the surreal shadow world where Grammys® Recording Academy Artist Gary Wayne Clark (a.k.a. Earamas®; Rise of the Chimera, Passage to Niburu) weaves his musical mystery. Channeling the spirit of the Ancient Ones, Logan Lone Bear Tuu'awata is a troubled Arapaho boy whose spirit is trapped between two worlds as he calls out to his soul mate, Raven Thunder Sky.
