Road To Samadhi On The Other Side #3525

An artist with a cast-iron reputation within the underground dance fraternity, GMJ continues to chart a stratospheric upwards trajectory with an ever-growing production portfolio. Now returning to Proton Music, the Australian star presents a pair of new tracks through his "Rise Above" EP.

A Particles and Proton Music veteran with a stellar cast of original and remix material over both labels, Gavin Griffin continues to provide the flagship imprint with a regular supply of increasingly high-quality music that saw "Sovereign Reality" and "Catharsis" released in October 2017 and May 2019. Now returning with his third solo original EP, the title track is a typically sumptuous offering that is characterised by a head-shaking groove and expertly crafted bassline that evolves imperceptibly over time. Through a panoply of white-noise effects, multi-layered pads and subtle synth phrasing, "Rise Above" reaches a rousing denouement with spine-tingling moments expertly placed throughout. Continuing the atmospheric narrative of its predecessor, "Unbound Reality" finds free-flowing melodies meandering across its 7-minute voyage alongside intermittent vocal sample. Wrapped delicately around a crisp rhythmic shell, syncopated motifs and powerful beat are the perfect juxtaposition to the unencumbered melody.

Another Proton regular sees Simos Tagias return to the label after a remix of LADS in January 2021. Responsible for 2017's "Airlock" and 2018's "Audacity", the Greek producer has also presided over a clutch of high-profile remixes for the likes of Tim Penner and Soulwerk, while also being remixed by such esteemed names as James Monro and Petar Dundov. Once again hitting new heights, the Simos Tagias remix of "Rise Above" is a bold, pulsating affair that uses the themes central to GMJ's original and reframes them within a powerful new rhythmic framework. Using organic house inspired vocal phrasing, new melodies appear at the stripped-back breakdown before a refined arpeggiated sequence gives shifts aural focus in the second half.

A veteran of the underground dance scene, Savvas is another artist with a long-established connection with electronic music. After a 2011 debut for Bellboy Records, Savvas has found himself featuring on Sag & Tre, Magician On Duty and Anjunadeep. The "Mindfulness" EP was a notable Particles highlight in early 2019 while a remix of Rick Pier O'Neil's "Earth Mover" in July 2017 and a full debut EP to follow, mark an impressive emergence on Proton Music. Reworking "Unbound Reality", the wandering melodic lines of the original are complemented by a glittering arpeggiated sequence, revealed in the second movement, and extending into the beatless breakdown. Additional melodic phrases from the Savvas studio lilt delicately in the second half accompanied in seamless fashion with GMJ original components. The resultant sonic tapestry is a joy to behold.

Creating a new twin-track offering of unparalleled pedigree with contributions from Simos Tagias and Savvas, GMJ continues to "Rise Above" with impressive regularity.

Beyond the point of no return.
Another bridge to cross or even burn.
From icy air, to tender breeze.
Conflicted feelings that will never ease.

I run from my comfortable zone.
This is the road I never have chosen before.
Where does it lead me, where does it end
This is a choice, that I need to alone.

Rauno Lehtinen composed this beautiful song in 1968. In song the person is remembering one of the past summer when he/she was fall in love.
I played this with steel string parlor guitar. Sound was captured with matched pair of condenser microphones. This was first time I used FMR audio`s RNLA7239 hardware compressor helping recording process.
Only little bit of EQ and reverb has been added afterwards.

This track features a secretly borrowed real violin, a sampled Chinese wok filled with water, and a saltmill from the Wieliczka salt mine. As we say here: Zum Wohl!

Crow No. Two

1.
It must be an autumn day
There’s a clearing in the forest
The background suggests a hilly landscape
It might be early in the morning yet
I’d say it’s before nine, number two 
Is the one that gives a knowing smile
Not unlikely that, uninvolved politicians do…

At least it knows the secret about 
How the pink helium horse was torn apart
Maybe treason was involved
Or they were curiously looking for a heart

It’s the crows ! It’s the crows !
It’s the crows ! It’s the crows !

2.
Crow number two is the one in the middle of the crime scene
It is slightly in the foreground 
Compared to its two conspecifics, 
Which we may come back to later,
It’s the one that looks directly into your eyes
Even more, it seems to know something about you,
About you…

At least it knows the secret about 
How the pink helium horse was torn apart
Maybe treason was involved
Or they were looking curiously for a heart

It’s the crows ! It’s the crows !
It’s the crows ! It’s the crows !

3.
Its gaze is very slightly from below, 
We can see its right side 
And it seems to observe the observers directly, 
I mean it looks directly into your eyes
It’s the one that lurks straight into your brain 
That could be very embarassing for you and cause 
A lot of shame

At least it knows the secret about 
How the pink helium horse was torn apart
Maybe treason was involved
Or were they looking curiously for a heart ?

It’s the crows ! It’s the crows !
Tell me please, what did they do?
It’s the crows ! It’s the crows !
Finally i made my clue:
It’s the crow, it’s the crow !
It is the crow number two…

Crow No. Two

The Final Judgment

Whispers in a silver frame
Everything feels the same
Say my voice, say my name
Burn my wings inside the flame

whispers in a silver frame

I am currently involved in various activities, from making songs to creating audio files for Pond5.  I focus on soundscape, ambient, and piano music. If you want to contact me, my email is achazia74@gmail.com. (Gonna rebrand myself again. I can't decide)

I am also trying to connect with people on twitter as I like that plattform for interaction: https://x.com/achaziamusic

Nearly all my songs are originals (see descriptions on the songs). I do everything myself, from composing and arranging to mixing.  I use Propellerhead's Reason.

I wish I had more time to make music, but my full-time job and daily duties require a lot of my time as well! :) For now, I am happy to do music as a hobby and have no further ambition than that.

My musical references and inspirations come from artists like Sigur Rós, Anathema, Clannad, Loreena McKennitt, and a few Norwegian artists. I also get inspired by books and movies with a fantasy/medieval feel, like Tolkien's work.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
