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

Nine Cavities!!!

So much talent from my part of the country (SW Louisiana, SE Texas) George Jones, Tracy Byrd, Mark Chesnutt, George Straight, Janis Joplin, Edgar Winters and the list goes on.  Tracy Lawrence sang with a Louisiana based band in 1988-1990.  He was shot 4 times by robbers in may 1991 which delayed his first album Sticks and Stones.  He was named top new male country vocalist in 1993.  He continues to create great music.  Just one of my favorite Tracy Lawrence songs.

The Chef

This is a first for Daniels & Durgy. An indulgent bit of fun we had in composing and performing this melodramatic Halloween themed extravaganza. To make it even better we have two of our best friends, Todd & Mike, joining in for the instrumental bridge near the end, something you won’t want to miss! We recommend a string of garlic and a silver stake in hand as you dare to venture into the mist............................   Video on YouTube for some added fun: https://youtu.be/_XPgAU8Mqms

Lyrics:

Silence, awakened by moonlight
Eyelids, open wide with the sound of the rain
Shadows, they creep from each gravestone
I rise up among them, as she calls out my name
Calling, her song high and haunting 
Wanting, the lips that I fear
Ohhh, marching, like a corpse hit by lightning
Frightening, but compelled yet to see her

She’s my beautiful nightmare,
My blood inside her, love is in vein
Cold, is the need as I’m bowing 
Howling, In the thunder and rain..
Mercy, I'm begging for freedom
From the life that she feeds on
With the bite of her kiss

Oh, I know you have what I need
But the moon has compelled me to feed
But there’s something inside your eyes that confounds me.. 
A rush that dispels me…
And some how I can feel your heart beat inside me
It’s lifting the curse that’s been there so long
Can you finally save me?… You’re the one I’ve been waiting for….

Darkness, I'm chained to this darkness
Like a slave in a harness, for one moment of bliss
I'm a slave in the mist
With the bite of her...terrible kiss

Slave In The Mist

Mille E Ancora Una (Altre Storie)

RiZLiX - Jammin On The Keys

A three section fall impression . First, sweet colours, hazy and warm days. Second, more vivid leaf colours, cold and dark evenings, frosty mornings. Third, strong north winds, leaves blowing everywhere, the first sleet storms.

Autumn Coloured Guitar.

With my countertenor voice and jazz roots, I bring ‘Jazzing My Pain (Original Jazz)’ to life. This song is my story, my pain, my passion. I sing it with every fiber of my being, laying bare my soul for those who will listen. The shadows that dance alone are my companions, my confidants, and my heart beats only for the music that sets me free.

Details: Ab Major, 4/4-time, 60 BPM

Watch, listen, and feel the emotions.

Other People's Children - The Lliam, Malcolm, Beva Trio. 
This one recorded and mixed by Mike Grace

They found me in a noodle factory up on planet Pluto
They couldn’t figure what to do they thought I was a noodle
So they hung me up and hosed me down enough to make a worm ill
but just before my eyes caved in she said life’s not that futile

I understand the sadness buried deep beneath your eyes
gets in the way takes up space there’s too much else to occupy
I got it too I feel it’s terror well beneath my breast
and when it rears its ugly head we’ll crush the buggy fest

What is it that turns my head and makes my eyes to stare
into this piercing silence cant you speak if you are there
too many noodles not enough salt the butter’s disappeared
I get the feeling it’ll never be right and then she grabs my ear
