World music songwriting that transcends the single band.
World music songwriting that transcends the single band. Music made round the world from 1990-2002. These songs are my legacy material. My life is an experiential journey of my own design and some of the end result has been recorded and/or live music and spoken word. I play a variety of instruments and sing/talk. Most of the songs on this page date from my recordings between 1995's "4" (under the Moniker Mr. Chaos, in Detroit Michigan U.S.A.) through to 2002's "In Stereo" (with Add Lib Lounge, in Helsinki, Finland). There are also some glimpses here of 1997-9s "Mr. Chaos Trio" from Mid-Finland; 2000's Bahasa Mix, from Malaysia; and 2001's Jazz sessions from Helsinki (with the Black Tuesday Quartet); and 2004 activist bluegrass recordings against GW Bush's "No Child Left Behind" schooling initiative. I hope you enjoy it.

Story behind the song
Guitar, Bass and Vox - John Hammink Featuring Tim McHugh on Drums
Lyrics
I'm going back to Orion Leave this planetary system for a while. I'm going back to Orion Two nebulae expanding there Dissappearing off into no air. Warp speed to the great unknown. A star, a planet, I'm not alone. Another light-minute and I'll be allright. Racing off into cosmic night. Am I overlooking another important sunrise on species-kind? If I'm overlooking Wars, hate, superstition, I don't mind - could it be any different at light speed time? Detroit, April 1993
