Jon Hassell, Cinematic Orchestra, Ligeti, Miles Davis, Hariprasad Chaurasia, Varese, Berg, Stravinsky, Debussy, Ornette Coleman, Charlie Haden, Charles Mingus, The New York Art Quartet, Berio, Airto, Olivier Messiaen, Stockhausen, Sun Ra, Buddy Holly, Duke Ellington, Bernard Herrmann. Max Steiner, Jean-Baptiste Lully and on and on.....
My aim is to make music that sounds like Buddy Holly but it seems to sound like this (see above & below)
I'm a featured artist at download.com, here's what the editors say about my music:
"The U.K.'s Roger Harmar concocts cool, soothing
musical marinades chock full of zesty world fusion flavors. The
talented bassist anchors his ambient recipe with melodic bass lines
glazed with free-form jazz, guitar, and keyboard parts. The intriguing
arrangements and strong musicianship are somewhat reminiscent of jazz
great David Axelrod."

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine

Hi there, just some blatant self promotion again, I just got the release date for my next EP. Product Of Experience EP will be out on DEC 24th available on iTunes and all other major online stores.
In the last Club Savage of (at least) the year we have a stellar line up.
What you say? The unigue strangely eerie and nostalgic journey of Robert Stillmans Horses, the fragile and sublime sound of Scandal in Bohemia and a bit of John the Savage tearing down the middle? On top of this, standing in for Darius, DJing we have venerable music writer Gary Mulholland.
"I have to cancel everything and get down to the Komedia studio bar on Thursday November the 27th" you think (probably)
Check all the acts out on our page and listen out for some new tracks we've uploaded to hopefully whet your appetite further.
Thanks so much, Roger! Great to have you as a pal here at this myspace junction. Such a fabulous sound you have. Definitely look forward to all your creative, musical endeavors! Mike
hi roger thanks for the Deliah Derbyshire links . . all fascinating stuff. shame she died in such embittered circumstances also added a link to Daphne Oram. hope you are well jan p
At the next Club Savage we have the mighty Crackle down from London, exploring the outside fringes of the bottom end. The magisterial mash up of Sooks and our very own Andrew Phillips and Marcus Odair moonlight in the "never heard anything like it" Grasscut. And us somewhere...
