wow, what a gorgeous jazz fusion piece of music, with some outstanding performances, especially on that guitar. Some comparisons to Pat Metheney at times. really wonderful stuff!!

Have seen you on fb but hadnt made the SC connnection. This is an awesome sound, rich, complex, gorgeous production. Ill have to head over and hear more. Nicely done....

Pure joy! Another reference work, in every sense. So much effort beautifully rewarded. Your soul is one that most certainly acts a as vessel of intelligence that will probably never be explained - but felt by those ready to receive it and appreciated by all. You did it Audric, thanks for gifting us all with your music and introspect. Oh, and Merry Christmas! <3

the accompaniment is incredible, too. great.

The music for Lady of Fire's poetry almost writes itself. Everyone who reads my descriptions knows how much I appreciate working with her. This track is no exception. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed composing and producing the track.

As in our former collaborations, Lady of Fire (whose Soundcloud site one should really visit for good music, poetry and voice art  https://soundcloud.com/ladyofire), she did all the magic with the words while all about the music was my pleasure.

Belly Deep

You are made
from the marrow
of the profundity
of bones
living without the
Certainty of vision
But the promise of
Eternal life
You are the primordial soup
Of your own making
Eat wisely and reap
from
the belly deep

Explicit lyrics:
Felt like almost dead, would you carry me home, would you lay me down?
Felt like shit again, would you bring my pills? do you know how it feels?

i don't know where to go...is this the end? i don't know!
From the tip of my head...till my toes, is this hell and heaven's above?

is there a free ride or a lottary prize? to win to lose on an XL size?
crappy or not, time will show...all i know is heaven's above!

I don't wanna buy a lotta food
i don't wanna get rid the booze
i don't wanna buy an SUV
i don't wanna get fatold and get peed

i don't wanna watch the news
i don't wanna get dirty with tools
i don't wanna smell your farts
i don't wanna mess around with you fatfucks!

Heaven's above?

Happy Friday to my SC friends. Today’s musical offering is very special to me because it signifies a breaking away from my old patterns. Long story short… old Justin was pretty set in his music making/production routines (solo work belongs on solo albums. Collab work belongs on collab albums. And never the two shall meet). 

But new Justin is proving to be surprisingly more flexible in his thinking; an interesting (I might even go as far as to say… shocking) result of my new paradigm. And while it might seem like a ‘nothing burger’ to most people… the way my brain is wired, this is a huge change… and one I am grateful for.

So today I happily offer my first collab song, also intended for my first hybrid album. The song is called ‘Life In Twilight’… and my guest artist is our dear friend, Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com), offering up the lovely Alto Sax and Guitar you hear in this piece

If you haven’t already crossed paths with Carlos, you are missing out. He is one of the most prolific people I have encountered in my travels. He plays about 30+ instruments, each with impressive skill. And if the instrument doesn’t exist... he creates it himself. And 'musician' is just one aspect of his inspiring and adventurous life. He is a great example of a person who discovered his passions early, and is now living a beautiful life pursuing those passions. We need more people like him in this world, reminding us of what is truly important.

On a personal level, the stuff Carlos has taught me over the years has helped me ease into this new sober life with tremendous grace. The music theory and instrumental lessons have helped make my sonic worlds more sophisticated (and therefore more rewarding to craft). And the moving and breathing meditations (Chi energy exercises) have proven fundamental to my mental/spiritual well being too. Needless to say, he has been a major influence in my evolving life; and I will be forever grateful. 

Carlos, I am honored beyond words that you are the guest artist on my first hybrid album. It signifies a great new direction for me. I’m excited to be on this path, and I’m glad you agreed to join me. 

To everyone else, we hope you enjoy “Life In Twilight”, the first of two new songs with Carlos that will ultimately wrap up my upcoming album “What Color Is Your Paradox?” 

(And yes... this is the last song I still had in the archives from my little break; originally finished on 1/20/2024. It's all going to be new content from here on out). :)

GRATITUDE - It's all about the music!

It took me some time to finish this tune, as I composed this almost a decade ago. For some reason, many other musical projects kept distracting me from investing the kind of time this tune, “GRATITUDE”, required and I believe deserved. 
But, I decided to not let it remain on the back burner any longer. 
I’m happy to say I finally got it done.

This tune is all about the gratitude I have towards everything that encompasses music. There’s gratitude simply for music existing in the first place. It’s my heartfelt tribute towards the art of music in all its forms. It is also just as much a tribute to ALL the musicians, from all walks of life, famous and not so famous... with some of course being highly influential and motivational for me on a personal level, all of which have been a source of inspiration in one way or another over the course of my life.

The essence of music is one of those big unanswered mysteries in the human experience. Why is it that we humans perceive the sounds of music in the way we do? No one has ever really come up with a plausible explanation, yet music remains as a special art form that has existed throughout modern civilization and has been expressed in countless ways. It’s pretty incredible… isn’t it?!

So, I conclude with the hopes that you will give a good listen to my tune “GRATITUDE”. 
After all this is a tribute to every one out there... whether you are a fellow musician, or the non-musician that simply loves to listen to music and one that embraces this wonderful and diverse art form.

“From being a baby our daughter has always loved Halloween. This reworked seasonal rocker features incredible special guest vocals by our daughter. Happy Halloween everyone! 👻💀🎃🤘”

Calm down daddy it’s only a ghost 

There’s a secret society
That comes out on the 31st
They don their masks and their costumes
They’ve got a hunger, a thirst
Now go and tell you and yours
Make sure you close them blinds
Look now here they come don’t let that ghost inside

There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost) at the door
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost)
There’s a ghost (There’s a ghost) at the door
So lock your door
Lock your door 
Lock your door
Lock your…

Trick or Treat? 

I’ve opened the door daddy

Vision

I had a vision (x4)

I had a vision, when I was a boy
This was my kingdom… I drew it like a child…
But never stuck to my aim… and so I missed it by half a mile…
There’s a wide-winged bird, a circling…or could it be two or three
I could save it all the bother…and then it wouldn’t bother me, see
This is my vision…This is my vision
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign)
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign…)
I entrust this mystery to you
For my fate is in your hands
So let’s push on…so let’s push on…
I had a vision…

(INST)

I had a vision…
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign)
I had a vision (to find that common ground)
I had a vision (with friends that are benign)
I had a vision (it was a real beauty)
I had a vision (all laid out for me)
I had a vision…I had a vision…a mystery!

This is an original song penned by Nat that demonstrates a lasting belief in the spirit of the Christmas season. It celebrates the childhood magic and wonder that too often wears away with the years that bring us to adulthood, and all that it entails. Hopefully this heartfelt message to everyone, young and old, will compel us all to hold on to where the magic came from and what valuable meaning it can always have in our lives. A very Merry Christmas!

Lyrics: I Still Believe by Daniels & Durgy

Ohh it's time.. 
For me to grow up
And let go of Santa they say
My world seems strange  
Is Christmas the same?
Yet all the lights flicker and play

Tell me where do I fit in? 
If this all ain’t real.. 
Tell me why do I still believe?

Oh I still have faith
As the seasons change
That one Christmas night
I’ll hear sleigh bells passing by ..
 
And now it’s time for me to pass on
The spirit of Christmas anew..
The gift of magic, the faith there is more
Belief that a dream can come true

Oh though you’re so very little, 
You’re so very loved
Stay young forever my child… 
    
(Bridge) 
And when you grow up and break through the seal
Remember these moments and that Christmas was real!

As the years go by
I have faith that time 
Won’t dispel all our memories
The love and joyfulness 
Every Christmas gave 
Still lives in you and me
And it never leaves 
As long you still believe…
No it never leaves  
As long as you believe 
Oh, I still believe!

I Still Believe

little draft ....  an improvized dialog of trumpet & trombone, each blown on my Akai EWI USB, on a simple cyclic backing created with vst and a midi tool with the nice name "modal random" for the keyboard :-) ... Actually, it's always about the “intersection” that decides on dissent or consensus. However, each fact in itself already changes its value due to the frame of reference of the respective observer.  It becomes crazy when those involved in the exchange completely abandon the basis of “facts” and allow themselves to be guided only by emotions.

Vedran - A Picture Speaks More Than A Thousand Words 2025

Lost Cause

Aimer les mots, aimer l'amour, même si les mots d'amour ne sont pas que des mots

PAROLES
S’il fallait des mots
Pour se dire « je t’aime »
S’il fallait des mots
Faudrait un poème

Quand c’est tellement beau
 Que le souffle est coupé
S’il fallait des mots
Faudrait un bouquet

S’il fallait des mots 
Au cœur qui s’éveille
 S’il fallait des mots 
Qu’on glisse à l’oreille

S’il fallait des mots 
Pour la liberté
Pour écrire un mot
Cahier d’écolier

S’il fallait des mots
Pour te retenir
Pas besoin d’un mot
Pour te laisser partir

Si tu es comme l’oiseau
 Comme la révérence
Navire en partance
Sur le fil de l’eau

S’il fallait des mots 
Pour que tu reviennes
Ce chant sur la peau
 Juste « un soir à Vienne »

s'il fallait des mots

A Miles Davis composition championed by Bill Evans amd reimagined with violin.

WELCOME ALL to my SoundCloud page!

It's always a pleasure to discover through SoundCloud the wealth of wonderfully talented and creative musicians out in the world... all sharing their own distinct and artistic creations.  I'm very happy to be a part of this amazing, creative, and supportive community.

My main instrument is the guitar (mainly electric... sometimes acoustic). I also play on occasion bass and keyboards (strictly for recording on my own compositions).  Most of my music tracks on SC are created, recorded, and produced in my home studio.  Recently, I've been making good use of midi sequencing to ultimately produce tracks that I otherwise would find almost impossible to do by other means. 

Fusion (my mix of jazz, rock, funk, soundtrack, etc.) is the best way to describe most of the music that I produce these days.  I've enjoyed playing and recording many styles/genres of music in the past, and all these past musical experiences influence me today in the way I compose and play.

You will find here on my SC page samplings of new and older works of mine.  The track picture icons more or less help identify what tracks belong to other associated tracks. And I will try to present some extra information for the individual tracks for those that are interested as well.

Thanks for reading... and I hope you enjoy listening!
