Republic City Dispatch 51: BONUS Audio Bending with Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn

Surrender means to give up, abandon, relinquish, to wave the white flag. What a beautifully divine word. A word we should choose at every chance we can remember, for as the story goes, we are not in control, we are floating on a cosmic river carried from the stars, into our mothers womb, out into the world, where we then resume the same course, only now grounded in body.
This episode helps let go of our worries and fears. It reminds us that we are supported and that life is unfolding just as it should. 

PODCAST - LEARNING TO SURRENDER

This is a neo-classical piano piece in the style of a fantasia from the Romantic era. It was my final classical-sounding solo piano composition, before I shifted my focus to piano improvisation, songs, and experimental music.

Primary Influences:
- solo piano pieces of Romantic-era composers Chopin & Rachmaninoff
- classical harmony (chord progressions), blended with Impressionistic chords that resemble the music of Debussy
- contemporary art rock bands Radiohead & Muse
- the process of reversing music, and stealing backwards melodies & chord progressions from what I hear - in this case, the song "Space Dementia" by Muse, which itself quotes a piano concerto by Rachmaninoff.

"Ghost" (as it was first named) was composed in the summer of 2011, over the course of about 2 weeks, and then tweaked by my borderline-obsessive perfectionist mind over the next 6 months or so. Since writing this piece, my perfectionist patterns have made themselves at home making song arrangements & producing music + mixing recordings :)

Bring Back the Ghost (2011)

The Desert Trax aesthetic covers grooves across the BPM gamut. In pursuit of the slow house, electronica, and deep house sweet spot, From Sand to Stone calls upon Desert Trax veterans and up-and-comers alike to carefully craft rich, flowing remixes of classic tunes from the catalog in the heart-centric tempo range. The result is a gorgeous journey featuring Bellhop, Zen Baboon, and Doppel with a pair of Liquid Bloom & Poranguí reworkings along with a trifecta of tunes from newcomer Forever & Ever taking on classics from Random Rab, Mose, and label heads Desert Dwellers. On February 9, cross the spectrum From Sand to Stone.

Whalesong

This song is designed to help facilitate a deep state of divine meditation and is tuned to A=444Hz/C=528Hz, a musical scale known to have been created (or rediscovered) by Pythagoras. 

The subtle sine wave of 111Hz is playing throughout the song, 111Hz is known for having regenerative properties, as well as generating a reaction that results in a deep, divine level of meditation that brings a sense of oneness, or connectedness with the Universe or with God.

“The true crisis in our world is not social, political or economic. Our crisis is a crisis of consciousness, an inability to directly experience our true nature. An inability to recognize this nature in everyone and in all things.” 
- Samadhi: Maya the Illusion of the Self
