Tymon Dogg Special Vinyl Pack Mapmusic Presents: "Tymon Dogg (The Clash and The Mesceleros) and 'The Quikening' Instruments played; Violin, Spanish Guitar, Mandolin, Guitar (Acoustic), Keyboards, Piano, Harp Tymon Dogg was first recognised at the tender age of 16, when he recorded with the Apple Label, and has been actively involved with the music industry for the last thirty years. He has worked with some of the world's most talented and established artists and is best known for his outstanding contributions to The Clash, Mescelaros and 101ers. Tymon's most notable songs are 'Lose this Skin' which he sang on The Clash's 'Sandinista' album, and the more recent 'Mondo Bongo', which he wrote with Joe Strummer in the Mesceleros. 'Mondo Bongo' then went on to become the theme tune of big Hollywood flick 'Mr and Mrs Smith'. Tymon's latest musical venture, 'the Quikening' project, began in late 2005 and has been busily captivating audiences across the UK ever since. As an extraordinary singer/songwriter, Tymon Dogg's new songs deliver a powerful and highly original new sound, with radical thought-provoking content that most artists are afraid to let rip. GUANTANAMO a soaring, passionate indictment in a fusion of sounds is 'the Quikening's' first release. A surprising combination of instruments, from the talking-drum and mandolin to the piano, simmer in the background, whilst Tymon's expert, jagged violin strokes, with an Arabian zest, take the front seat. The song explores the dark political truth behind the US military detention centre in Guantanamo bay, Cuba, with a sense of urgency as it climaxes, reflecting how critical and barbaric the situation has become. OIL, another politically charged track satirises society's apathetic approach towards war and material preference over basic human values. Although "Oil" is essentially highlighting a bleak reality, ironic cheer is injected into the verse with some light-hearted, feel-good folk. COLD WIND BLOWS an emotive piece to explore. Working with a fluid, interchangeable group of musicians, Tymon ultimately demonstrates an ongoing commitment to telling it like it is in an exciting, compelling musical register that is unique to him. The 'Quikening' project has already picked up worldwide interest, spanning from Australia, Japan and the US. Fan sites have been set up in response to the introduction of the venture, one of which can be found at the unofficial Tymon Dogg fan site www.tymondogg.net <View Tymon Dogg's Myspace profile>
