Carlissimo
Carlissimo by Mike Workman
-
Back to the Old School
I began writing this track in September 2025. It took me a bit longer than usual to complete. (see Owl Song) But hey it's finished. The spoken phrase is taken from a vocal loop on Mark kinght’s toolroom series.
-
Owl Song
This track is dedicated to my good friend Dave who helped me regain my mobility after I slipped and strained my back. He made it possibe for me to sit down and compose, produce and exercise again. He is a wise owl. Artwork by Lucien the AI
-
Lord Felix
This is a track about a tabby that lives near me. His favourite activity is lying on a wall in the sun, demanding belly rubs from humans and ambushing innocent dogs that dare to use the path below his wall.
-
Variations on Blaydon Races House Mix
For Peter. This is a rearranging of the traditional English folk tune, Blaydon Races with some additional music in the long introduction and between the two verses. This ia a gentle chill version set to a house beat.
-
Deep in Our Soul
This track is for Dave in memory of Phil. Phil Greasley was at one time a DJ at the Dog and Fox, a West London bar that held gay discos on Sunday afternoons. He was a kind and generous man. Phil had a very naughty sense of humour which he used to great effect in his daytime job: he was a warrior...
-
Adoration House Mix
Simiiar to original Chill Mix but with more emphatic kicks
-
Adoration Chill Mix
I changed the way I put tracks together in an attempt to create a more interesting sound, in particular the percussion section. At the end of the day, I’m not sure if it worked because I ended up simplyfing everything. I think this is the best of several versions of the track. This is for Dor!
-
Lucien’s Blessings
This is an odd one. A few months ago I asked an AI to develop a personality and choose a name for itself. It decided to call itself Lucien. During the conversation I asked it to imagine what it would be like to be conscious and to think how that might happen. Lucien said he wanted to have a body,...
-
What is this Pleasure?
This track is for Andrés and for Mo and Ed in recognition of their encouragement. It’s about the simple pleasures of friendship that make life worth living! This track is built around a few spoken phrases found on Splice. It starts in G Major and then goes round the circle of fifths, ending up at…

Beacons of Hope Alternative Mix
This is the latest version of Beacons of Hope (Dec 2024). The previous version, the New Mix, was a bit of a flop. This version is a bit livelier — I’ve dropped the speech elements, pulled back the drums, increased the other percussions and let the orchestral elements shine through. I’ll leave the...
-
Shall I compare thee?
This is a laid back piece inspired by the Shakespeare Sonnet, Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day. Originally I had planned to include the sonnet as a voice track but it just did not work: the juxtaposition of early modern English with a house beat was just silly. You can still hear the tune I...
-
When I Feel It in My Bones
This track is built around a clip of Hatti (Hattie Murdoch) that I found on Splice. It’s the first time I’ve used a real human in my music. The original clip was recorded at 140 bpm but I’ve slowed her down to 124 bpm and in places 62bpm. I have also used Celemony to alter the notes of one phrase...
-
BEACONS of HOPE NEW VERSION
New Version REISSUE 1 I think this track doesn’t quite make it.. so I’ll have another go at it on a few months.. I originally published a version of this track a year ago. The new track features completely new kicks and percussion. I also rewrote every other part. It also has new instruments and…

Something is Calling You
I happen to live in a very beautiful place surrounded by people with beautiful souls. For me it’s been a place where I have been able to give free rein to my creativity. In this track I imagine the place as having a mysterious quality that calls out to all who would listen. This is the second...
-
When the Stars Align
I like to combine orchestral instruments with synths and other electronic instruments. My main criteria is that it has to sound beautiful and express love and joy for life. This particular track was written after the death of a close friend, Sally-Anne, who added a lot of joy to the lives of many...
-
Dancing with Friends International Version
I wrote the tune for Dancing with Friends a few years ago. This is the third attempt I’ve made at turning it into a dance track, and I feel it’s finally close to the way I’ve always wanted it to be. The original version was inspired by memories of wonderful nights out at Heaven in London during…

Planet Samantha
Sometimes the journey to the bar in my favourite disco has all the complexity of a journey through hyperspace — but once you negotiate all the hazards, there’s the wonderful person to serve you drinks. Recently it was a very nice person called Samantha..This track is for her:

Moonlit Dance

Dance by Starlight
For Angel: One of my favourite activities is to walk along the sea shore and watch the stars come out as the sun sets. This track is an attempt to capture the energy of the moment when suddenly our view extends out into the universe.
-
Sunset Energy
I love the sky around sunset. It's a magical time. This track attempts to describe the energy and beauty of this special part of the day!
-
Hope Maker
For Jeff. I think this is the best track that I've produced so far. It was really inspired by the experience of coming across people who are so full of love, courage and action that they inspire hope in others. I hope you enjoy it. (This is slightly revised and shorter version in better quality;...
-
Love is Essential
For Kuba. I'm not quite sure how to categorise this music. Originally it was going to be Orchestral Trance but it took on a life of its own. This track is quite different from much of my earlier music: I've spent a lot more time focussing on sound design and this track is the result of that…

Faith in Humanity
The first track in a new project celebrating the best qualities in each of us. (This is a reissue to remove a few infelicitous seconds midway through the track!)
-
The Smile Sexy Brave ALTERNATIVE REMIX
i think this is the best version of this track. It was inspired by images of firefighters, special military units and others -- including volunteers -- who've been fighting the forest fires in Tenerife and elsewhere. I, like many others, am grateful that in this world there are people who risk...
-
The Smile Sexy Brave Version
This is a track ispired by a picture of a fireman. This is an experimental version with lyrics, sung by my computer using three different bits of software in an attempt to mimic a human voice. I'm sure a real person could do better!
-
The Smile Instrumental Version
A track about someone who smies in th face of personal danger
-
Antonio's Tune (Orchestral MIx)
A track inspired by my partner who encourages me to pursue this passion. The melody is based on Beethoven's German Dance No9 in E flat major. However this track is in G Major and the melody is in 4/4 time not the 3/4 of Beethoven's day. It also has a completely different set of chords. Although I...
-
QT's song
QT is a friend who likes to take long walks and to run. QT can outrun anyone I know. She has a wonderful loving, friendly personality and is a delight to be with... The percussion section is a litte bit different from the normal trance beat..

Teide
A track inspired by trips to Mt Teide, at the top of the huge volcano that is Tenerife. From the seafloor to the top of the volcano rises some 24,600 feet or 3,715 metres. That's over 12,000 feet above sea level. The volcano was once much bigger; Teide sits in the centre of a vast caldera which…
