180 DEGREES OF REALITY (HOUSE BANGER)

The Golden Age

faced with the rays of heaven
you'll see everything is how it's meant to be
so let that supposition result in dancing
and the sound arising as you feel the need

quiet harbingers have walked the path alone 
and left behind their guidance in the marking stones
there is substance to these dreams of Avalon
I know you feel it in your bones

messages of love by satellite the anthem of the final days
we gather in the starless night in the last of the golden age

the heavy burdens of this life 
can make us selfish and blind
I see you there and I know
you are honest and kind

there is no weapon that will prevail against us
as we  stand our ground in the final days
you must remember love is relentless
here in the golden age 

trust that your heart will fill with joy 

it's still so early in the spring
on the spectrum of life 
more subtle is the journey as we arrive
no more hiding in half light

will you be there in the light of love

The Golden Age

at first sight

At First Sight

Firstly a big thanks to Shane of Harmful If Swallowed for agreeing to do do this male duet. It’s a first for me and probably for him, so a very interesting concept. It’s been a song that’s been hanging around a while just waiting for the right type of vocalist to agree. I am a great admirer of Shane’s work because of his fine lyrics and interpretations of real life. 
The song Elephant In The Room was wrote over five years ago with my son Owen  who would of been around 18 at the time. He had got into playing guitar and dabbling in song writing so my role was helping him with melody and lyrics. 
It’s a song I always thought had great potential and as I wasn’t that active in music myself at the time only a raw acoustic version existed.
This version is what we used as a sketch and Noobly transformed it into a full blown production. Seriously Noobly is a real talent and absolute pleasure to work with so respect to him.
There as been slight lyric changes but the melody is the same.
The song is about to close friends sitting in one of their living rooms in silence. There is an elephant in the room for both of them because a serious matter is not being discussed and neither of them are opening the conversation. The one  as done something really bad to the other so use your imagination.
The conversation is only happening inside their heads so hence a male duet of thoughts.
Hope you enjoy the song as much as we did creating it.

Since this track seems to be well received, I would like to share some secrets. I used the following for this:
https://heavyocity.com/product-category/foundations/
Heavyocity - Foundations Piano. I used it as an arpeggio bass track for the low octaves.
https://sonuscore.com/shop/the-orchestra-complete/
Sonuscore - The Orchestra Complete 3. Here I loaded the instrument "Grand Piano Lid Closed" on its own sound track for the melody and staccato chords.
https://www.spitfireaudio.com/originals-epic-choir
Spitfire Audio - Originals Epic Choir. As with the piano, I opened two instances and recorded separately on two sound tracks. On the first, the "ladies" sopranos & altos: short staccato syllables, and on the second, the men's tenor & basses: short staccato syllables. On both I experimented with different expressions and dynamics controlled by the modulation wheel via controller. The ladies are more dominant here.
https://refx.com/nexus/expansion/hollywood-2-core-library/
Nexus 4 - Hollywood 2 Core Library. Here I loaded the Strings and Choir preset from the "Vocal/Choir" category. I adjusted the attack a bit to get a smoother sound. It supports the sung staccatos of the choir from Spitfire Audio as a soundscape.
Then, last but not least, I used Sonuscore's The Orchestra Complete 3 again for the horns and loaded the "Horns of Hell" preset. I reduced the internal reverb a bit for this and also worked with dynamics and expression via mod wheel here.

Since I am quite lazy when it comes to drum pattern programming: The drums and percussion are ready-made samples and come from KeepForest, HighLife and other sample forges.
All in all, there are six instrument tracks loaded here in FL Studio and three audio tracks. There's also an EQ, compressor, and delay and reverb on the master. That's it!

The spark that ignited this composition: Heart Of The Andes by Frederic Edwin Church....

"This painting was inspired by Church's second trip to South America in the spring of 1857. During his nine-week trip through Ecuador, Church made numerous sketches, and many surviving watercolors and drawings contain elements from this work. The painting was publicly unveiled on April 27, 1859, at Lyrique Hall, 756 Broadway, in New York. It was subsequently moved to the gallery of the Studio Building on Tenth Street and illuminated in a darkened room with gas jets hidden behind silver reflectors. The work caused a great sensation, and twelve to thirteen thousand people paid twenty-five cents each to see it each month. The painting was also shown in London, where it was also greatly admired."

When The Night Falls Apart - Charles Chambaz

Y-Hot Grease

We’re praying for peace
Never losing hope
My faith I keep very close
Dancin out my grave
Seen a Holy Ghost
Yeah I’m on some drugs
But there not even close
See what I use to do is get really high
Then drink enough so I would black out and die
Thought the universe needed me
Well maybe she does
Are you seeing things different like I was
Love can fuck you up
And I can promise you that
There’s never enough
Nope I don’t have the answers
That’s exactly why I keep on dancing.

The human stood up and saw the horizon, a need for discovery and to see who could harm him...
Time passed and then one day appeared the big vertical cities which erased for millions of humans its horizon.
On September 11, the greatest verticals collapsed and the world changed, from lies to lies, the horizon did not return and it was even seriously darkened!
Will we see the dawn sun again, on a new day? hope...

L'humain s'est levé et a vu l'horizon, un besoin de découverte et de voir qui pourrait lui faire du mal...
Le temps a passé et puis un jour sont apparues les grandes villes verticales qui ont effacé pour des millions d'humains son horizon.
Le 11 septembre, les plus grandes verticales se sont effondrées et le monde a changé, de mensonges en mensonges, l'horizon n'est pas revenu et il s'est même sérieusement assombri !
Reverrons-nous le soleil de l'aube, un nouveau jour ? espoir...

“Visions of a Solitary Walker”

On a dark night, with the clouds falling down
Onto the city an impenetrable shroud,
I drifted through the mist, across a burial ground,
Bound for the lake, at the pier my life to drown...

When from behind the trees, old souls stepped out to greet me
Pioneers whose dreams had founded the city;
Blood, sweat, tears, over years, had built up from nothing
A home that their children would know,
But now who remembers them?

I drifted on, with the lingered vision bringing fear
So many forgotten to the cataract of years;
I shook the vision from out my restless soul,
Met my frontier, when out the lake a woman rose...

“Halt there!” she hailed me, a wan ghost hovering above the pier,
“I drowned of love,” she said, “but you wish to die only out of a fear;
“Your soul of burden, your sorrows, are too light to sink down here;
“You’ll find life where you find love...”

Lightning ripped the sky
White mist rippled by
The waves curled up
And unfurled down
Carried me up on my back
So high up, felt the thunder crack
The waves they fell
I soared higher still
And higher still...

The city lights
Bright filled my eyes
The sorrowscape
The blighted lives

Right then in that moment, I lost myself, drowned with sympathy
I saw a world bereft of love, seething in misery;
Shrieks of resentment scratched the night in a pealing cacophony
And in a fleeting glimpse I saw the inner harmony
Of all our suffering...

On a dark night, I was saved from myself...
