It's been a while but I have been busily making a new album to release this October. However, in the meantime I have recently been doing a bit of electronic music - and here it is!
It's something quite different to what I normally do and to be frank I'm surprised it turned out to be a fairly coherent track (no laughing at the back, please); coming to iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and all those good places June 30th. A massive thank you to Leanne for providing some amazing vocals and I hope you all enjoy it!

A bit of uplifting dance music for you all, whether you're relaxing in your room, out for a run or driving with the window down. Let's see the sun!
Released as Marcus Warner because I'll be submitting it to BBC Introducing.

So, in summary for my non-english speaking fans, here is what's happening: from now on I will be posting non-brony orchestral music on my new channel, MarcusWarnerMusic, and will be posting brony orchestral and any other genres of music here on Evening Star. Why? Because I feel the need for a concise, professional portfolio which I can present to potential employers and anyone else who is interested in my work, and I would like to use my own name as well as an alias!
What does this mean in terms of music?
Well, a couple of things I forgot to mention in the video must be mentioned here. Firstly, uploads on Evening Star will be less regular (especially as I'm working on a new album to release as Marcus Warner), and I will be changing my Facebook and Twitter pages from Marcus Abbott to Evening Star. That's it!

http://fav.me/d61u8skEvening Star - AerialMarcus Warner2013-11-15 | Upon reading comments on my music, I've decided that soon I shall start moving into the orchestral/soundtrack genre fully as it seems to be the music people prefer. This is also good for me as it's the career I have in mind and will give me the chance to continue practicing. However I'm still prepared to admit that I love, love, love drum and bass... so what I've done is fuse the two together in this track.
The anger of the ocean is tamed by the large ships, Navigating, sailing always when it's rough or calmer As we sail the world, from Izmir to Yokohama, Aboard the mighty vessel, the cruise ship Oriana
When I first went sailing on Lake Louise, My greatest ambition was to travel the seas I'm not at the helm yet, but boy, if I was, I would take my ship around the world, simply because

Just a quick bit of fun because I felt like something different :) Have this one for free and my new album will be up next week!
People try to tell me What is wrong and what is right It's hard to see it, when I go out every night
Even though they seem to know Everyone's a hypocrite Something my friends'll show When we get to it
Cause this is new, And my cares are gone If I'm not for you, Then girl you can carry on
Take in the view, As we see the dawn My dreams are coming true, *We'll dance all night long*
Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Princess of the Sun Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah, The Princess of the Sun
Going further than she'd Ever thought she'd go before It's hard to work out when you Never know what's in store
And so we kiss under the branches Of the cherry trees Her smile lights up my world Across the land and seven seas
Cause this is new, And my cares are gone If I'm not for you, Then girl you can carry on
Take in the view, As we see the dawn My dreams are coming true, *We'll dance all night long*

http://fav.me/d6813ybEvening Star - The OlmedrecaMarcus Warner2013-06-09 | Some chillout/easy listening music, unusual for me (I think the last track was probably One Summer's Day), but I've been listening to a lot of Port Blue lately and really felt like doing something similar. I also wanted to make some music that would illustrate the image, I didn't think DnB quite cut it - I wanted something peaceful, that gave the feeling of sailing. So, enjoy this anomalous upload from me!
Footnote: The Olmedreca is the brainchild of author Iain M. Banks, from the sci-fi novel 'Consider Phlebas'. For some information on the ship, check the link below.

Very proud to have recorded my friend Sidonie in this latest Drum and Bass piece. I am releasing this as part of a two-track EP, including this track and a Chillout Version (without the heavy drums), and I would really appreciate it if you were to purchase this EP and support me in my music producing.
Across the distant worlds, Far off in the sky I can hear your calling voice, When the planets come sailing by
The nights all sound the same, Clouds drifting away The ocean sings my name, But my heart aches every day
'Cause when we ran across the hills in the breeze, You gave me a gentle smile And when we lay under the shade of the trees, We were with the world for a little while
In times of loneliness, They say you should be strong But I can't live like this, When the evenings are so long
Life around me always grows, Like flowers in the spring Yet I ignore everything it shows, And the changes it may bring

I was falling through The light of the new day I was calling you But you'd been taken away
The sun and the mooooooon xD The sea and the stars A warm afternoon And evening from afar
A star in the night sky A gentle breeze whispers by How far can the Pegasi Reach when they fly?
And repeat it a couple of times. :P The amount of times I've edited this description now is ridiculous. xD Anyone else want to ask me something?Evening Star - Crystal PoniesMarcus Warner2012-11-17 | Download links:
