This high energy track has a mix of stylistic elements of some of my favorite jazz/fusion guitarists that have influenced me over the years. (Metheny, Scofield, Henderson, Martino). I did not necessarily intend this... the track just seemed to develop this way on it's own.  
Except for my guitar, I programmed/sequenced every instrument that is heard. 
I also must give additional credit where it's due. This composition and track, as it exists now, would never have come to be if it weren't for a free-form jam session recorded in 2013 with local musician friends Mitch Shelly (on bass), Don Plowman (on drums), and myself (on guitar).  While listening back to the jam recording, one particular spot caught my ears in which I realized could easily turn out to be the heart of a new composition. Thankfully, the combination of the bass line, drum pattern, and melody that now makes up the main theme of Intrepid Spirits was captured! Of course, much more was added to this main theme to build it into the composition and track as it exists now.

INTREPID SPIRITS (Audric Jankauskas-2016)

Crowyote was born in the Phobos reincarnation-processing center when the two-brained Merkahbian scientist, Ya'kub Ch'an Ka'wil, decided to fuse the thetans of a spirit coyote and a spirit raven into one nagual. Ever circulating counter-clockwise, the heyokic Crowyote has tunneled a unique path though this crusty experience called life exploring different avenues of expression and finding music the most pure. At present the Countess Badeniana (Vo-96 Acoustic Synthesizer) is his partner in musical creation. 
He summons and calls upon the creators and diviners of the past imbuing their with an etheric echo of their intention, as well as aligning unusual emanations from parallel tesseract'd paradigms to attempt birthing new sounds into our auric perception.

Repost, Share and Comment if you like. Please message with earnest questions or thoughts. Also . . . Unfortunately, I have reached my follower limit (2,001?). If I find a way of following you consider yourself lucky, that means I had to take the time and go through the people I follow and remove one's that aren't worthy. If I don't follow you, be patient I'm just fed up with these arbitrary limits, thresholds and tiers . . . $6 is a lot to drop on a website which doesn't provide much in return. So for now, likes, reposts and comment mean a great deal more to me than follows, and I consider that the same the other way . . . want me to pay attention? listen, comment, repost.

Thanks.

_____________________________________

Calaminus was a one-man-project from Düsseldorf/Germany, producing groove-orientated instrumental music with the focus on genres like Funk, Fusion, (Acid/Nu)Jazz, Groove and Rock/Pop, sometimes enriched by several influences of our Worlds' Music.
From 2009 - 2021, I created more than 200 original music tracks, released 5 albums and actively colaborated with some fine musicians here.

In 2021, I decided to end this project after all these years due to the lack of general interest in my music and my own personal interest in music at all.

Jazz/ World/ Fusion violinist
Themis Nikoloudis was born in Athens. Since 1998 he has been collaborating with many distinguished musicians and composers (Michalis Nikoloudis, Audric Jankauskas, Haig Yazdjian, Babis Tyropoulos, Vasilis Rakopoulos, Giorgos Maglaras, Nikos Sidirokastritis, Giorgos Palamiotis, Nikos Kapilidis, Vaggelis Karipis, and others) playing the violin in concerts and several recordings.
At the same time, he has been performing as a violin member in many music bands with Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Dimitra Galani, and Lavrentis Macheritsas, playing in concerts all over Greece and Abroad.
He began his journey in music by studying modern guitar. Later he turned to violin studies and after years of elaborating on violin technique, he got his autonomy and continued elaborating his study independently in music theory, ear training, and solfeggio also he kept learning by playing next to great and very experienced musicians.
Jazz music will always be his vehicle for improvisation.
He maintains the melodic and lyrical essence in his tone and stirs it with some rhythmical elements inspired by the Indian konnakol. A system that allows the composition, performance, and communication of rhythms. He twists it with some chopping (a new percussive technique specific to bowed string instruments that allow the violin sound to resemble rhythm guitar and electric bass with the slap techniques.)
For the last five years, he is most committed to his compositions and musical
arrangements projects, studio session work, and teaching the violin.
He is a member of the Frog String Quartet.

Happy to belong to this great community, with my humble musical works, the result of a passion that I brought along since I was a child.
Soundcloud is full of talented artists who have nothing to envy to those already established.

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!
