With all the "Breaking News", especially concerning the lawsuits against FOX (US) in the Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits revealing all the duplicity and hypocrisy from the talking heads of rage-baiting opinion personalities (not real reporters on FOX), Can democracy be destroyed by false claims reported as truth? I'll let that question be answered by Ray's song. Ray did all the music and wrote the opinion piece (lyrics) and I just embraced the intention of Ray's analysis of the wonky state of global media and hoped a little edge and passion in the vocal would drive the message home. Be careful what you choose to believe, and the sources you decide are credible. Caveat Emptor.

Lyrics:
I've been thinking about the state of the world
The networks want to feed ya
I'm talking about the global media
It's all enough to drive a sane man to  distraction
All they give us is a knee-jerk reaction

You know it's easy to forget how much they need ya
Those people behind the desk in the global multi-media
It's all a ratings game, the news reports are all the same
A pretty face, every hair in place,
But what they tell ya is just another knee-jerk reaction, uh- huh
A knee-jerk reaction, uh- huh
Knee-jerk reaction

Instrumental

I wonder how much they conspire to deceive ya
Photoshopped and over-dubbed is the norm in global media
Images you see have no real attraction
No bearing to the truth, it's just a knee-jerk reaction

Knee-jerk reaction (x6)

Mmmmm they say the truth will set you free,
But where's the truth in what I see?
Knee-jerk reaction
Take the news and wrap it 'round,
Once around, maybe twice around
And spew it out for us to see,
Then spew it out for us to see
There is no truth in what I read
knee-jerk reaction (x6)

Knee - Jerk Reaction (Brookes And Wigmore)

Somewhere Far Away

Edge of Perception

Is it a cover?, is it a plagiary?, or just my deep admiration?
I personally want to dedicate it to the brave women who fight, who fall and get up to continue fighting

BRAVE

Adrift

Composed this piece to reflect the feelings I have here sometimes in Capulalpam de Méndez.  I am frequently overwhelmed with wonder and awe while exploring these woods...

Walking Through The Woods

A song from my album "Ah Shit," released in 2022. This song is about a very old one-sided love story. I was very young and completely helpless.

The lyrics in French.

C'est bon d'en finir
Trop loin l'avenir
Si loin de moi
Un oiseau volait
C'est dur de tirer
Mais pas assez
Lentement j'ai vu
Tout ce que j'ai su
Aller plus haut
Quand je ne serais plus rien
Tends la main au bien
Qui ne m'entend pas
Je ne sais plus que me dire aurevoir
Je ne sais plus que me dire aurevoir
Je ne sais plus que me dire aurevoir


It's good to finish
So far, the future
So far from me
A bird was flying
It's hard to shoot 
But not enough
Slowly I saw
All that I knew
Go higher
When I'll be nothing anymore
Reach out to the good
That doesn't hear me
I no longer know what to say goodbye
I no longer know what to say goodbye
I no longer know what to say goodbye

Tumultuous Century

Retro Love

Hanging out in the cloud forests of the Sierra Juárez mountains in Oaxaca, I’m tapping into the sounds of the universe like a mushroom-drunk nahual, reaching into the heart of nature to grasp at the mysteries of existence.

You’ll hear influences from deep time and across as many cultures as I can get my hands on. I get obsessed, man. Seriously, everything else melts away around me. I can spend days absorbed in an idea, like that stone statue guy—but with a stone guitar instead.

My approach to music? About as unpredictable as my ability to remember where I last saw my passport (pretty crucial when you live abroad all the time, right?). Some say I’ve got a “touch” of inattentive ADHD. Me? I call it an avant-garde approach to life. And yeah, maybe there’s been a mushroom-induced revelation or two along the way, but who’s counting? I don’t need a million-dollar studio—just a good instrument, a decent interface, a computer, and some monitors that hopefully survive my absent-minded chaos.

I’m a multi-instrumentalist who loves complexity, especially when it sneaks up on you through unexpected rhythms or harmonies from the far corners of the globe. From Carnatic ragas to garage rock grooves—why not just mix every cool sound and see what happens? Maybe I’ll start with a harmonic progression from Bach’s Goldberg Variations and slap it into a Hindustani 7/4 thaal (that’s rhythm, if you’re wondering). It’s a bit technical but, trust me, as cool as—well, let’s just say it’s the kind of vibe that might inspire a dream-like hallucination about nailing the perfect groove.

Yeah, I am a Ph.D. trained evolutionary biologist, and...   that sounds impressive until you find out I bailed on it the second I landed a good job. I was bored out of my mind. People look at me like a guy who won the lottery and then spent it all on the greatest collection of rare video games (I mean, I’m not that bad, right?). But switching from science back to music wasn’t just quitting—it was finally tuning into something deeper. Music and science might seem like distant cousins, but to me, they’re intertwined—both ways to unlock the secrets of the universe.

Now, I live in Capulálpam De Méndez, a mystical town in the Oaxacan mountains. The ancient Zapotec culture runs deep here, and creativity flows as freely as the mezcal at the fiestas (and trust me, there are plenty of fiestas).

Art is for everyone, and I’m always pushing to create something that connects—whether it’s a complex harmonic structure or just the right amount of groove to make you forget your troubles (or your keys, in my case).

So if you’re into music that teeters on the edge of chaos but mostly lands right where it needs to be—well, welcome. Just don’t expect me to remember how I got here, or where I left my bag. Seriously, my passport might’ve been in there… Was it the tuk-tuk? (sounds like a joke right...  Err..  its not....)

Relajándome en los bosques nublados de las montañas de la Sierra Juárez en Oaxaca, estoy sintonizando los sonidos del universo como un nahual borracho de hongos, llegando al corazón de la naturaleza para intentar comprender los misterios de la existencia.

Escucharás influencias de tiempos profundos y de tantas culturas como pueda explorar. Me obsesiono, hermano. En serio, todo lo demás desaparece a mi alrededor. Puedo pasar días absorbido en una idea, como ese tipo de las estatuas de piedra—pero con una guitarra de piedra en su lugar.

¿Mi enfoque hacia la música? Tan impredecible como mi habilidad para recordar dónde dejé mi pasaporte (bastante crucial cuando vives en el extranjero todo el tiempo, ¿verdad?). Algunos dicen que tengo un "toque" de TDAH inatento. ¿Yo? Lo llamo un enfoque vanguardista de la vida. Y sí, tal vez haya habido una o dos revelaciones inducidas por hongos en el camino, pero ¿quién está contando? No necesito un estudio de millones de dólares—solo un buen instrumento, una interfaz decente, una computadora y unos monitores que, con suerte, sobrevivan a mi caos despistado.

Soy un multiinstrumentista que ama la complejidad, especialmente cuando te sorprende con ritmos o armonías inesperadas de los rincones más lejanos del mundo. Desde ragas carnáticas hasta los grooves del garage rock—¿por qué no mezclar todos los sonidos geniales y ver qué pasa? Quizás empiece con una progresión armónica de las Variaciones Goldberg de Bach y la meta en un thaal hindú de 7/4 (es decir, un ritmo, por si te lo preguntas). Es un poco técnico, pero créeme, es tan genial como—bueno, digamos que es del tipo de vibras que podrían inspirar una alucinación soñadora sobre encontrar el groove perfecto.

Sí, tengo un doctorado en biología evolutiva, y eso suena impresionante hasta que descubres que lo dejé en cuanto conseguí un buen trabajo. Estaba aburrido como una ostra. La gente me mira como a un tipo que ganó la lotería y luego lo gastó todo en Beanie Babies (no soy tan malo, ¿verdad?). Pero pasar de la ciencia de nuevo a la música no fue simplemente abandonar—fue finalmente sintonizar con algo más profundo. La música y la ciencia pueden parecer primos lejanos, pero para mí, están entrelazados—ambas son formas de desentrañar los secretos del universo.

Ahora vivo en Capulálpam De Méndez, un pueblo místico en las montañas de Oaxaca. La antigua cultura zapoteca corre profundo aquí, y la creatividad fluye tan libremente como el mezcal en las fiestas (y créeme, hay muchas fiestas).

El arte es para todos, y siempre busco crear algo que conecte—ya sea una estructura armónica compleja o solo la cantidad justa de groove para hacerte olvidar tus problemas (o tus llaves, en mi caso).

Así que si te gusta la música que oscila en el borde del caos pero que la mayoría de las veces aterriza justo donde debe estar—bienvenido. Solo no esperes que recuerde cómo llegué aquí, o dónde dejé mi bolsa. En serio, creo que mi pasaporte estaba allí... ¿Fue en el tuk-tuk? (suena como una broma, pero... ehh, no lo es...).
