Diggin this song, man! Really like what you have done - take care :)

Groovy smooth vibes here to encompass the brilliant vocal(:

Great song, excellent and interesting collab :)

More versatility Dirk loving the groove 👍

Oleg Yastrebov (Олег Ястребов, @v28yterij7ek) reached out to me to collaborate on a song idea based on an interesting percussion track that Oleg recorded.  I interpreted that recording, set a mood in my mind, and added the accompanying piano, bass and synth lines.  Oleg then added in an awesome groove and vibe on top of that with the drum kit and lush atmospheric harmonies, voices and singers.  Something to pass on the interest.

Right then, my first COLLAB.  OneSixTwo offered to mix up our styles, and it was a fun thing to experiment with.   We decided it would be cool to mix up both of our styles and see what we could come up with~
let us know what you think in the comments below!
Please also check out OneSixTwo's music by following his page @ https://soundcloud.com/onesixtwo (hope that link works) 

If interested to know, OneSixTwo did all the backing, the mixing, and the vocal that clearly isn't me (spoken section), I wrote the melody for the verse and the refrain, sung that bit, gave him those recordings, and he otherwise did all that rest. 

Thank you!

Don't believe it's not true.
To believe that it's not true would go against the very thing that truth is. It would be better to know it's not true. Belief is powerful, right up until you find truth. Truth needs no belief system, because it is simply true. The internal assurities must exist for a reason. Our genetic capability to discern truth may never lead us to action, but it would never lead us astray. Your intuition can guide you to the stepping stone of truth. If there is no stone, you must believe that your step will reach solid ground. What's starts with belief must end with knowledge and wisdom. Don't believe it's not true.

Don't Believe It's Not True

I've been writing songs for ages and ages, because it's something I enjoy doing, and that's about it. 

I've added dates to titles, however, these aren't always dates recorded, mostly just dates written because the original offerings, back then, had little to be desired with consideration to production values and all that stuff!  For the older tracks some tracks have the old backing with a modern vocal (often with a lyric rewrite), the original vocal with a new backing (when I could work with the original vocal, but not the original backing), the original song newly recorded in all areas, and less often the original vocal and backing, but with a few additions, "No" is one such example.  Otherwise, most of it is newer stuff, post 2018, and is as is, when written and recorded.    

I've had to re-record some things on account of my abilities to record demos and all that being very limited once upon a time.  

In the early days I only had a Farfisa F1 workstation thing (it's amazing what I managed to do on that), later an Atari ST, with Cubase 2 probably, a Proteus 2000, and Fostek 8 track recorder thing, and now I've got Native Instruments 14, and Cubase 12, in what amounts to an astonishingly good set up compared to my earlier resources, for about the same money as that older rubbish was back then. 

I still use the microphone I've had since I was 18, though did just recently upgrade that as well, however still pick up and use the old one, as it's still good - a Sure SM58 with a dent in it! My upgraded mic is a Sure SM7B, which is great, and I see it all the time on TV and podcasts, so must have made a good choice! 

My musical chops are focused on the piano, my main instrument, and the ukulele, which I play a lot as well.  Not doing a lot of piano-orientated songs at the moment, but I do sometimes, and mostly try to get the best out of my Native Instruments stuff.  I'm barely scratching the surface with all of the NI stuff I've got.
