Greetings my wonderful SC friends. I hope you’re enjoying October as much as I am. I adore all the -ember and -ober months. As seasons go, this is my happy space. It’s a great time to reflect, and a great time to reset.

Creatively speaking, this song caused a peculiar reaction I wasn’t expecting; enough to make it the topic for my liner notes. The reaction was... nostalgia. The world instruments made me pine for the experiences of my Scottish (clan Mackay) ancestors. And some of my other synth choices sparked happy feelings of being a teenager in the 80s. 

Even now, I’m strangely comforted by this song (a sort of mother’s love/lullaby effect). It makes me yearn for what I imagine to be easier, simpler times… and I couldn’t be more wrong. 

I know my Scottish ancestors had quite a brutal and destructive history. And if I’m really being honest with myself, I never expected to survive the Cold War in the 80s. In fact, I actually adopted a very dystopian view of the world because of it. So why do I (or any of us) have such a strong desire to return to ‘the good old days’, when almost all evidence points to those times being worse for the majority of us?

I’m reading a book right now that puts all of this into sharp perspective. It’s called ‘Enlightenment Now’ (by Steven Pinker); and it has less to do with being enlightened, and more to do with using reasoning to help us rummage through the inaccuracies stored in our minds. I’ll be the first to admit… I struggle with a lot of the concepts (because my ego loves the drama of believing it’s all going to hell). But truthfully, we have never seen a time when so many people were experiencing such a decent quality of life, and Steven has the analytics to prove it. For example:

On the topic of life…. The average human lifespan is now 71.4 years. In the 1700s it was 35.

On the topic of sustenance… Premodern Europe suffered famines every few decades. The typical diet in France in the 1700s was comparable to Rwanda in 1965 (the most malnourished nation for that year). Today, India’s billion people get an average of 2,400 calories a day. Hunger hasn’t disappeared entirely. But it’s nothing like what our ancestors experienced.

On the topic of wealth… the average preindustrial European was fortunate to own a quality garment only a few times in their lives. And it was not uncommon for clothing to be stolen off a dead body during an epidemic… thus continuing to spread the epidemic. Now we have to store our winter clothes to make room in the closet for our summer attire. And we order these items on our smart phones, to be delivered tomorrow.

On the topic of equal rights… Consider Michelle Obama’s quote from the 2016 National Democratic Convention, “I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, and I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.” That is a hopeful indicator of how far we’ve come toward achieving racial equality. And there are people still alive today who were born before women had the right to vote. Now women can run for President. Another great indicator we are heading in the right direction. We definitely have a long way to go. But again, it is much better than it was.

These are some of the simplest examples pulled from the book. If you need a booster shot of positivity, I highly recommend it. It’s one of the best researched, most logically presented perspectives I’ve encountered in a while; and it is unapologetically hopeful. It reminds us… the ‘good old days’ weren’t really that good; and the best days are now. So let’s focus on what we need to do next, and maybe park those fond (but faulty) memories.

I hope you enjoyed my latest musical offering, ‘Nostalgia’. :)

Wood anemones [naviarhaiku490]

A work in progress / abandonded track from early 2023, finished and remixed June 1st 2023.
This track, I created earlier this year for the same proto-jazz proyect that generated my track for [junto0584](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/nocturnal-studio-jam-number-2) this was intended to be a jazz-lounge jam, I recorded the electric piano part over a jazz drum loop and a walking upright bass, then decided that I wanted a more lounge/funky beta and grabbed a different loop. I clicked on the wrong loop-file an dI got this weird electro-beat that completely destroyed the track's jazz feel. I tried to re record the bass, with a fretless bass, more soul-funk groovy but it didn't work, it was too hybrid.

So as the track evolved from a jazz jam to...well, this; I decided to tweak a couple of things, mix it and share it with you as my example of Phylogeny.

Recorded early 2023 by DD in Paris, FR,
Fretless bass guitar
Electric piano

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
