many of your tracks feeling like those weird transition in Flylo albums :) Well done, I'm pretty sure he will dig it a lot! :)

If Massive Attack too LSD and went into the studio, they would be proud to create a track like this. Seriously dark energy in the pulsating and dissonant synths. Beautiful production. One of the best tracks I have heard in a long time.

Trippy stuff man! Those ambient sounds and the individual beats on the track make it unique!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your kidding me dude, this is the fattest beat. amazing work on the build of this whole track :)

This one was a joy to make. Lots of analog goodies for your earbuds.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Happy holidays and happy new year!

Many thanks to the bot that came up with the art.

Greetings my SC friends. It’s been a strange few months, and I am excited to be back. But I have a feeling it’s not going to look like it did… at least for the near future. I’m having a hard time organizing my thoughts lately. And while the musical energy is flowing better than ever, my ability to write satisfying liner notes is feeling a little clogged (this will be my 6th attempt at this write-up). 

As much as I regret it, the write-ups may need to stay on hold for a while longer. But first, I wanted to share what happened (in the form of a write-up. Lol). 

For starters, it’s important to mention I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 15 (a 40 year relationship). And although I genuinely loved what a nice beer buzz did for my noisy mind, I also knew what toxic alcoholism looked like (from many examples in my extended family). So I knew I had my work cut out for me, if I wanted to overcome my genetic dependancy. 

Granted, I also have a ‘responsibility’ vein that runs deep. I did my best to prioritize my family and responsibilities first (‘don’t drink til 5:00. Don’t drink if ya have to drive’ kinda stuff), and I considered myself a ‘functioning alcoholic’. Truthfully, I was never ashamed of my drinking. As a teenager, the ability to not give a shit that I found in a beer buzz honestly saved my life. And it allowed me to unplug from the noise for many decades after that.

But I wanted to do better than that, so I started making changes quite a while ago. Here’s a brief summary of how that unfolded:

1. Back in 2006 I concluded my negative headspace was the root of the problem (perspective is huge); so I altered my daily routines, knowing it would take years to undo the lifetime of programming that caused that thinking in the first place. I started consuming info that was positive and hopeful and loving (and avoided negative info like my life depended on it… which it did). And I did that intensively for the next 15 years.

2. But by January of 2023, I realized the beer buzz no longer quieted the noise and ugliness happening in the world (it all went too chaotic too fast). So if the crutch wasn't helpful, it needed to go. That’s when I tried Tai Chi (to give my mind something else to focus on). And it worked brilliantly.

3. Over the next 6 months, thanks to the calmer headspace created by Tai Chi, I cut my drinking tremendously (and for perspective, we’re talking 9-18 Natties daily… down to 3-6 Natties daily). The surprise outcome… the fog in my mind was clearing for the first time, and I was not prepared for sober adult Justin (man is my brain chattery when left to it’s own devices). So at the beginning of August 2023, I decided to take my Social Media break. That was more timely than I could have imagined, because…

4. On August 26th I was given the gift of Pancreatitis (the disease that lets you know ‘Wow, Dude. You drink way too much’). I went to the Emergency room with terrible intestinal pain, and I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. Long story short, I left the hospital sober, and have been that way ever since. And I’m genuinely happy about that… because thankfully, I did a great job preparing for that day.

So in a nutshell... I am back. But the writings may have to wait a while longer (at least until I figure out how my new clearer headspace works). Interestingly, I managed to produce almost an entire album of new music over my break, so I'll put those new songs up on SC over the coming weeks. 

And since I’m just a few songs short of completion, I’ll be releasing a very personal album (symbolizing my adventures with sobriety) very soon. It’s called ‘What Color Is Your Paradox?’, and I hope to have it on Bandcamp in February.

In the meantime, I’m happy to be back. And I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to over the last few months. :)

 Big hugs from your blatantly open-book friend.

The great Elvin Jones use to drive music with his cymbals and power behind John Coltrane and McCoy Tyler.   Joining me here again on a 12/8 modal groove to celebrate the sound of Trane is Cologne's Georg Boehme, a superb Bari Sax and woodwind player.   https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme. Together we remember these great moments from the 60s

Here's a playlist of our recordings together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/grooving-with-georg-boehme

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Step Out - Georg Boehme / Jamie Rhind

In the stillness of their small apartment, the walls are lined with photographs, newspaper clippings, and scraps of information meticulously collected over months of relentless pursuit. Their obsession consumes them, every waking moment devoted to the object of their fixation. It’s all about you, they murmur softly, their eyes tracing the lines of their target’s face in the photographs, committing every detail to memory. From a distance, they watch, unseen yet ever-present, their presence lingering in the unsettling feeling of being observed. As their fixation deepens, their grip on reality slips further away, until they can no longer distinguish between fantasy and reality. And in the darkness, their obsession takes a chilling turn, blurring the lines between admiration and something far more sinister.
