Five vocalists and the question of how they feel about the region in which they live, while they write their lines.
Plus a guitarist, bass, synths and drums and a bit of mixing.
Sounds simple, it is from the idea, but the time until such a project is really finished passes quickly ... from the beginning to the completion it took almost half a year. 
Now I am happy to have brought everything to a good end.

Many thanks to all involved for the commitment and friendship. 
Have fun listening - yours bitzone

Stoney

it doesn't matter if I tell you which sky I'm from

Couch 

Time often goes real slow
When the vitamin D starts to feel real low
From January to May 
Each meal got dough 
Cause the rain still flows  
As I stay in doors 
And my melanin foregoes any hope that it shows
In the summertime 
I’m just sitting and waiting 
Till we’ll get to grow
Sprout my head out and reveal from below
Hello this is Portland

Oven Fresh The Chef

From the mountains to the valleys from the lows to the peaks.
From the loudest to the calloused to your soul it will speak.
From the crowds to the alleys and we roll with the heat.
Never doubt it, grab the chalice and a bowl we will seek.

It's a festival of music. Keep your ear to the streets.
The sunsets are beautiful. It's almost like a dream.
The smokes in the air. Got 'em feeling my aroma.
I'm just another stoner kid here from Arizona. 

Stoney 

I am from the sky
I like to be high
& smile
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you what town I'm from
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

Peter

I sit back and burn
think about past adventures
lessons that I learned
where my future may venture
I just let life do what it do
because no matter what I do
that's what it's gonna do
no need to let the stress level rise
I'd rather write raps wit the red chinky eyes
windows down as we ride
Atlanta representative that's where I write my rhymes

Lady Of Fire Poetry

Seattle is still a great place.There are a lot of people with
big heart here. It's still so soulful. People enjoy the artists and musicians.
And the real raw energy that lives here. It brings people together.
Not to mention its natural green beauty and oh yeah I forgot, the rain.

Stoney

I am from the sky
I like to be high
& smile
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

I am from that place 
one more star in space
I feel pluto's pain
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

Like all here, I’m just trying to leave an echo !   Just trying to say I was here. How lucky are we to live in an age when that is possible?

reverend coldheart records with : mike shea, guitar whiz and sound designer, usually at his studio ;  mike hogan, who is a gifted bass player, usually in my kitchen ; joe ferguson, who is the original congregation and who started all this out with a christmas uke  ~   It's his fault !

Also, I’ve been jamming with Jarod, Tek, Gary and Shelbie on Sundays in a little white house out past Stilesville. We record under the name “makebelieve”. Hope to post some jams every now and then .

Since October 2023, Sunday jams with Gman and Reggie.  We record under name of:   “the charlatans”.  Or lately, the Sunday Jam.

Been recording solo
Fer a little while now at
Old man yells at cloud studios 
If you’ve read this far: Thank you
You know more about me than the people who surround me on a daily basis.  Being creative is the only thing that makes sense to me right now.  So, I’m gonna keep creating. 
I wonder what’s next?
Looking forward 


Thank you for listening

I love the sounds of the 60s and 70s especially. I try to write songs that I would enjoy listening to myself. It’s the only gauge I have. My songs are just the sum total of all my positive listening experiences. I'll let you try to guess who they are!

Much of my music is FREE TO DOWNLOAD.
Love this space, wherever it is, and the amazing sounds of humanity. Happy to mix my music with yours, if you have an idea or no idea : ) -- if you would like to remix, remake, redeem any part of anything here, let me know.   ~

Every time I am sincerely surprised that the music came together again, that it worked. I don’t often write music , to enjoy nature of this wonderful process.
All tracks AI free!
Big thanks to SOUNDCLOUD for the wonderful opportunity to be heard and to my invisible friends, musicians and composers, whom I hear well thanks to SC
As an architect, I am interested in the question - if architecture is frozen music, then music is melted architecture? In this case I'm the freezer unplugged.🤗
The iceberg from the freezer is still dripping, but over time it can leak heavily...
My musical education is modest - 4th grade piano in childhood at the cultural center named Mikhail Kalinin in Kharkov + SC now
