My name is Raine Carosin and I am an artist of sorts. PS: IF YOU WANT TO COVER ANY OF THESE SONGS, JUST ASK... NO PROBLEM... I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A STUDIO OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL STUFF and I don't do my thing for money, but that was way back then, and since yesterday (2.9.2014) I joined BANDCAMP (http://rainecarosintronada.bandcamp.com/music) to try to make ends meet .... I love writing poetry and adding a melody to the words that have captured an emotion or idea. I also love to paint, my favourite being animals, tigers in particular. I love the paranormal and the unexplained; true stories and animals. I have also tried my hand at writing a book, but that is still an incomplete work. I'm happily married with no children and we aren't allowed to keep pets in our building. I'm in my late forties and have had no formal study of music and art, although it once was on my list of "to do" things. I am trying to teach myself to play the keyboard, and my guitar is just basic. I do hope that you will be able to enjoy my music, even though it is not state of the art. I truly believe that we all can enjoy our gifts together, and expand our horizons from our homes. I don't mind communication - in fact, I welcome communication and believe it is the key to success. I'd like to write songs professionally and would welcome the opportunity to work in a real studio. Well, enjoy and have fun. http://soundcloud.com/pierreandraine PS I have espied this box on the right hand side of my profile (on my space) which says: "Bring Raine to ..." and right up ahead I must let you know that I'm terrified of crowds, I'm totally paranoid: I believe the world out there is scary and I don't want to go to a venue and worry about how everybody else is doing getting there, so, the solution is simple: get your favourite snacks and drinks, make yourself comfortable and then be entertained in the safety and comfort of your own home... I've heard that it's really bad in some countries where you don't even want to stop for a police car because of the corruption of the powers that be... Anyways, there's always skype and videos and I would just feel better if I knew every one was warm and safe at home... :-} Teamed up with Graeme Robertson (Vortexia) to form the duo TRONADA... Enjoy... :-} By the way, I don't do facebook or twitter... sorry... just google "raine carosin" and i'm "there"... sorry :-\ but communicate anyway! :-}) IMPORTANT UPDATE: 15.9.2014 - I suppose I could say that I sold out, but in reality, I had to make some serious changes in my outlook upon life: I'm getting older and no one lives forever on one plane, and if I hit hard times, which we all know just happen unexpectedly, I don't want to make decisions on which guitar to sell first or what piece of equipment I can do without to keep myself alive... I'm not doing this so that I can get rich from my fans, but rather to collect royalties from monetised plays on radio or the WWW... plus, I have the added comfort of knowing that any covers I do, that those bands are getting their royalties... Plus I have that peace of mind that seventy years after my departure from this realm, that according to my will, the nieces and nephews of my nomination will receive those royalties in a trust fund... So, even though I may feel like a "sell-out" on some rough days, on the better days I know I have done a sensible thing... Hope you all understand! Warmest wishes and thank you again for all your support!!! Any questions? Do write and ask, or just consult the oracle engines... LOL!!!! :-} You can have a look at what I do on the WWW Walk - http://rcarosin.webs.com/ UPDATE 2018 JUNE 2nd onwards - it's a Saturday - Robbie (the owner of RA'S SPORTSBAR & RESTAURANT) and I shall be doing a karaoke show from around 8pm to 11pm!
UPDATE : TWENTY TWENTY VISION FROM NOW ON, EVEN IF I AM CHEATING BY WEARING 'SCRIPTS! I THINK, TRUE STORY - WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM EVERYONE, I'VE GOT A FANTASTIC 'SEMBLENCE OF FREEDOMS and I'm totally THANKFUL TO ALL AND EVERY ONE WHO CAME TO THE PARTY TO HELP ME OUT OF MY DARKEST DEPRESSION! Awesome! Please, don't let anyone else go down that dismal path of forgetting the light! I feel much better now and God and I are closer now for me to begin the understanding of the spaces between Us and the nearness of Being xxx Well, FOCUS is what it takes, and that requires an effort of FREE WILL to take the moment and JUST DO IT!

2022 UPDATE 13 June - So, finally, after years of battling on XP, I now have a Windows 10 desktop & an new android tablet not ever to be be lent out ever again ... Back in the saddle and happy to plod along with my trusty steed ... Yup, he ain't got a name, but we're out of the desert and in our pasture ... happy days in this unfair world where sometimes we are forced, if we can't achieve, to thieve ... That's the question, ain't it? To thieve or achieve ... But, take heart, my Fellow Beings - though it seems that one is forced into the darkest corners of one's realities at times, the Light SHALL FIND YOU! Whether you have to crawl to it, or the light has to bust it's way through to you! However you find yourselves - Home is where one is at xxx Be at peace with your Being wherever you may be xxx MARCH 2023, ST. PATRICK'S DAY - Sitting here at my PC . It's dead quiet but for my fingers making the keyboard make sounds . Pierre is gone . He was ripped out of my life by something worse than the cancer they say he had . It is nameless . but he is gone . since the 4th of January, 2023 . I am only a husk now xxx UPDATE 2024 suno.com! need money!
