THE BLUE DREAM

In a dream-like world this track finds it's place, in a way it made me think of the surrealist works from the twentieth century by artists like Dali, Magritte, de Chirico, and Dutch painter Carel Willink, for whose nephew I have worked as architect. I hope I can take you along this little dream journey...

11 Taconic Turns (Bonus Track)

Cast of Characters:

 

Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – bass, guitar, synth, main drums, percussion, composition, production and mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  electric sitar

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ and electric piano

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– percussion, additional drums 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – traditional gourd form body sitar and lap steel


 This is a song that Chris wrote on the drums, bass, and guitar and shared with the collective. We all love working on Chris's songs, and got to work on it even more enthusiastically than usual. Josh was up first with his lap steel, which he weaves throughout. He also added the sitar at the beginning and the acoustic sitar at the end. Stephen stepped in and added the gnarly electric sitar at the end. JJ also made his presence heard by adding the thrilling organ and electric piano throughout. Ken then augmented Chris's original drums with his own in expert fashion. Last, but not least, Tez added his electric guitat magic to the stew, as well. 

  Since Chris brought this song to the group, and is a fine producer, he did the honors of the mix and production. 

  This is our latest with Chris, whose music we all adore. If you dig this, you should go check out his page, as it contains lots of wonders to hear. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Olores y Colores

Painting a vivid picture in music.
In this track I explore the link between the flamenco style or palo of Tangos and the more Argeninian Tango. Although being linked in name they are very different. A Tango flamenco is more closely linked to the rumba flamenca. Its rhythm is the same as farruca and very lively. The Argentine tango shares a common ancestor, but went its own way. However, it was fun developing the transition between styles. I do that by a dramatic interruption in a Solea por Buleria. It repeats three times with the outro slightly different from the intro and interlude. 
I play three guitar parts here, one in flamenco finger picking style, the others more like the guitar trio with an alternate picking style.

I hope you will enjoy this one and as always greatly appreciate your likes, shares and comments.

Olores y Colores | Dan van den Berg

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

When the stars are out
And the night is new
I can see no stars
All I see is you
I can see no moon
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever lost
In your magic eyes

If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

When the sun is up
And the day is due
I can see no sun
All I see is you
I can see no clouds
Gliding through the skies
I'm forever drowned
In your magic eyes

If you just say
I'd run away with you
I'd give my heart
I'd risk my life for you
But I'd stay away my love
If you only say my love

Magic Eyes

Verses :
------------Still me——(Smile!!) always data mining Crafting and designing Breaking all the rules with the styles I'm combining bending words round bars with impeccable timing Beats getting lit by the rhythm and the rhyming If it all out---I'm in----ain't no declining Polish off another beat and leave the track shining  Feel the vibe on the cloud another silver-lining  Time out mother fuckers it's my time I've been grinding Day to day hustle now the stars are aligning
like its meant to be cosmic energy Time's changing Destiny yeah! that's the real key Climbing to the next level totally free Cutting straight to the chase skip the pleasantries A force to be recon with you can't ignore me Staying true to myself-----Staying true to myself -------game's locked but still free-------game's locked but still free ------got game but still me------got game but still me
This is pure heat a pen---a page---a beat Engraving these lyrics so they penetrate deep  gimme the mic pull up a chair go ahead and have a seat Recognize technique that makes you wanna move your feet Verse after verse hitting like concrete  spitting these cadres so they reck another beat Flavor on the mic makes it sound so sweet that lines so dope let me just repeat  Flavor on the mic makes it sound so sweet  I'm bouncing off the rhymes eat it up it's a treat  I can't be beat Boss on the street Elevated status known as elite haters obsolete they can't compete  when I touch the mic they defecate and excrete
reborn hard corp vicious yeah!!! even rougher  Can't get enough of this style Don't suffer----------- smoother than butter---But a lethal as a motherfucker Traversing these barzzz not a cookie cutter Crush another track murder that's right slaughtered  It's IPG1 Aight!! way to clever step to my mic Don't think so never Switch it up now different style and technique  Double time double down Bet it up sweet Conceive a new melody before I even speak Verses seem to bend around the bar and drum beat  Flow on point neat and unique  Cadres that got you rocking out of your seat All respect due to the Class elite  ones gone before but Who'd expect not just open up but also held the door
Much respect!!!
Peace!!!✌🏽
