Between Distant Worlds

The Deafening Chill

The time feels ripe for this tune, so here is a teaser to show you guys what I'm working on for the next album.

Guitar contributions by Steven Polendey. Everything else is me.
Graphic from the painting "Shakti" by Randal Roberts.

May your third ear take flight on shiny silver wings.

Lyrics:

Find me in the spaces
Between the stars above
Ever since I saw the light
I've been starving for the love

I've gone beyond all measure
Always tightening my grasp
It only makes the treasure
Slip more quickly through the cracks

So I'll take this opportunity, while it's running through me
To commit this feeling to rhyme
Apprehension of eternity has this funny tendency
To fade with the passage of time

While I watch the world in motion
From my solitary throne
I'll recount my many blessings
Just to know I'm not alone

Spirah & Erothyme - The Pattern

A few nights ago I took a moment to soak my eyes in the Moon's glow, and before I knew it, I was deeply invigorated and this song was practically writing itself. I've been existing nocturnally since then, dialing in countless thousands of digital brushstrokes to this silver stereophonic rainbow. I included some soul-soothing vocals and violin recordings from Madelion Moondrop﻿, as well as some of my own vocals, and a whole lot of delicate percussion made from sounds recorded in the mountains here in Colorado.

This piece got me thinking about musical space in a very interesting way. I spent a good portion of the process rhythmically slicing up some of the atmospheric and textural layers to interact in various ways with the percussion, envisioning the percussion as tree limbs and the diced up chords as the beams of iridescent moonlight that they split.

This morning, at the same moment I was listening to the finished file for the first time, the sun began coming over the horizon. That kind of thing has a way of putting a smile on my face.

Naturally, it seems very fitting to me that I should make it available to you while the Moon is in the phase that she's in, since I feel that for best results, one should consider listening while appreciating her ethereal splendor. :)

Moonlight through Bare Branches (feat. Madelion Moondrop)

(Seeing is Perceiving)
Something has changed, it's all rearranged
(I'm waving while you're leaving)
"I'm only a speck," reality check!
(Here comes another)
Come as you are, show me the scar
(Seeing through each other)
Keep filling me in while you're under my skin

Stoke the fire while the embers are hot
Or it will burn out baby, like it or not.
Better smile for a while and embrace your strife,
Cause it never lasts forever even if it's for life.
Thinking of things so softly implied
Makes the night twice as long and my dreams twice as wide.
Tell me, once you find me, will you let me be me?
Are you trying to bind me, or set me free?

Haven't you heard? I got nothing to hide.
I'll rip my heart open, letcha peek inside.
Lay it down straight, there's no need to pretend.
Th-the words may be difficult to comprehend.
Sometimes the truth is hard to say.
Sometimes the best way to Love is to walk away.
Whatcha gonna tell me when we get to the end?
Thank You For Playing

-Please Try Again-

If I had known
I would have stayed home alone
If I had known
I would have hung up the phone!
If I had known
I would have brought down the tone...
I wish I had known.
It's been a long, long time since I felt at home.

Thank you, thank you for all you've done.
I hope you had fun.
Thank you, thank you for all you've said,
Even though it turned me on my head.
Thank who for who you are:
A bright, bright shining star.

Thank you for just being you.
There's nothing else to do.

Nah, really though.

No timestamps this time because the boundaries are blurry, and tracks are often mashed with each other or get called back multiple times.

You'll have to forgive a few messy moments.
I got a little bit excited. :)

MASSIVE thanks to Dave, Dave, and the whole Tipper & Friends crew.

Source notes:
- The clean version of the bassline was ripped from a track I made over a decade ago. That track wasn't very good, but this sample was the seed that Human Rising grew from. Save your work!
- One of the main drones, heard in the beginning and end of the song, was made with Malakai's Korg Minilogue in Brooklyn, NY.
- Other drones were made with the legendary Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch (aka Paulstretch).

Human Rising (feat. Natalie Lain & Amalgamy)

Here is a beautiful new tune which came into being quite spontaneously like a flash of noetic lightning in the wake of some beautifully serene experiences in Seattle and the Cascade mountains.

It was a lot of fun and a real honor to feature vocal contributions from my friends Theo and Amma (Entheo - https://soundcloud.com/entheo), as well as Theo's guitar and a few percussive samples from my friend Jules O'Keefe.

I haven't given out a new free track in a while, and I think this is a breakthrough and a new direction for me, so I am going out on a limb and allowing this tune to spread how it may, in good faith that it will touch as many lives as possible.

Happy Bicycle Day! ;)

Equanimous & Skysia - Open (ft. Ashley Willfire) (Erothyme Remix)

Erothyme was born on planet Earth and has been making the jams since, like, forever, man! His sound is a majestic blend of overblown hyperbole and meaningless adjectives that actually have nothing to do with music. His tracks land in your ear like a dolphin gracefully diving into the surface of the ocean after doing a triple backflip in front of the setting sun. Erothyme founded the Perpetual Victory Machine at the beginning of time because he knew it was good to be on the winning team. Some people think that Erothyme doesn't be like he is, but he do.

Some praise for the 2014 full length album, Circadia:

"Really lovely, spacious, thoughtful, intelligent, subtle, atmospheric, emotional, tender, delicate, wonderous electronic music"
- Bluetech

"... leaves the listener blissfully lost within multiple layers of melodies, reverberated vocals, live instruments and gentle grooves that are all covered in well thought out electronic soundscapes...
‘Circadia’ is certainly a milestone in the new wave of downtempo electronic music & is a highly recommended listen for people of all ages and musical backgrounds."
- Dekompress.net

"... a quality of composition almost unequalled... dreamogenic feeling... an invitation to fly away from one's sofa to the skies and tickle the clouds, to go for a walk in the greens somewhere, to watch closely a colony of ants at work from a high-placed branch... To all lovers of tranquillity: add it to your best-of folder... "
- La Mojoteque

"Long-haired grass hymns sipping rays of sunlight in the Rockies."
- Skogsgospel

"I love this music! We had it playing for first daughters birth!﻿"
