about

Michael Shulman - "Gaynor's Mirage" (2024).

Original "Mirage" is written, performed and recorded by Jen-Luc Ponty and his band.

Acoustic violin and vocals written, performed and recorded by Michael Shulman.

"In 1994 I heard Jean-Luc Ponty for the first time. It was his track "Mirage" that made a significant impact on me. The harmony and atmosphere of the song was truly incredible. This feeling has not changed, and over the years I've made various covers of this song, every time adding my own soul into the mix.

The 2024 version is utilizing the cut and paste pieces from the Jean-Luc Ponty original version, only drastically sped-up. On top of which, multiple acoustic violins and vocals were then recorded.

I thank Jean-Luc Ponty - an amazing violinist, and his outstanding musicians for providing me with inspiration to create my own vision of this masterpiece.

'Gaynor's Mirage' is dedicated to my friend Gaynor who loved and supported me through many years and difficult times."

lyrics

My only one,
Shining brighter than the sun,
Mesmerizing like the sea,
You are a mystery.

So very far,
Glowing like a distant star
In a distant galaxy,
You are my fantasy

My only one,
Shining brighter than the sun,
Hypnotizing like the sea,
You are my destiny.
