Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J)

Изменчив этот мир, как облака и ты...
Мгновенье дарит нам нежданно перемены.
Но жаль, что дважды не дано войти в те дни,
которым не найти замены...

Echo-ES Breath of Wind...

A few nights ago I took a moment to soak my eyes in the Moon's glow, and before I knew it, I was deeply invigorated and this song was practically writing itself. I've been existing nocturnally since then, dialing in countless thousands of digital brushstrokes to this silver stereophonic rainbow. I included some soul-soothing vocals and violin recordings from Madelion Moondrop﻿, as well as some of my own vocals, and a whole lot of delicate percussion made from sounds recorded in the mountains here in Colorado.

This piece got me thinking about musical space in a very interesting way. I spent a good portion of the process rhythmically slicing up some of the atmospheric and textural layers to interact in various ways with the percussion, envisioning the percussion as tree limbs and the diced up chords as the beams of iridescent moonlight that they split.

This morning, at the same moment I was listening to the finished file for the first time, the sun began coming over the horizon. That kind of thing has a way of putting a smile on my face.

Naturally, it seems very fitting to me that I should make it available to you while the Moon is in the phase that she's in, since I feel that for best results, one should consider listening while appreciating her ethereal splendor. :)

Naked And Cryin'

This tune is a teaser for the upcoming album. It is dedicated to everyone who's been struggling through the cold season and could use some more sunshine in their life. It will melt you down with warm vocals and violins courtesy of Madelion Moondrop, and rock you back and forth to a steady beat (with a sprinkling of additional hand-percussion contributions from Jason Burruss).

Stay warm, friends! <3

"Hey everyone, here's the title track off my next release. It's called "I Want To Believe". It will be six tracks and free to download on sound cloud, band camp, and other music services. Please share this with your buddies -- Facebook has totally messed up promotion services on their "pages" and so the only viable way to reach people without spending needless money is word of mouth and shows. If you dig this, please repost/blog/tweet, book me, come out to a show! Last of all I'm very excited about this release, enjoy the tunes!"

MY SOUL WAITED LIVES FOR YOU
MY LOVE I'LL DIE FOR YOU, IT'S NOTHING
MY SOUL WAITED LIVES FOR YOU

MY SAVIOUR I KNEEL BEFORE THEE
PERFECT LEGS THAT CONCLUDE IN GLORY
I COULDN'T TAME YOU EVEN I TRIED
BUT I'LL HOLD YOU TILL THE DAY YOU DIE
NAKED ON THE FLOOR ON FIRE, TASTING YOU
LIFELESS ON THE OCEAN FLOOR 
I'LL NEVER STOP HAUNTING YOU...

New EP coming soon~ in the mean time, here's a freebie I've been holding on to for awhile. Enjoy!

Thanks to http://soundcloud.com/exist-strategy for the opportunity to remix this one. <3

Exist Strategy - Autumn Breeze (Cross Them Out Remix)

A soulful tune, one year in the making, recorded in India and Israel with many talented musicians.

This tune started out with the heart wrenching string section and the basic beat. In subsequent months, more instruments were added. 

The recordings feature soaring Indian vocals & tabla by my teachers in Pushkar and Varanasi (Birju, Kailash & Tanuja) as well as an epic Portuguese Tanbur (Middle Eastern ‘Banjo’) player (Ricardo) whom I was looking forward to working with for several years. 

The soulful vocal and lyrics are from a sweet lad from London (Jamie) whom I met at Zorba festival in the desert of Israel. Last recorded was my friend El-Ad playing the Ney (Middle-Eastern Flute). 

Putting it all together was the real challenge as talented musicians were obviously not shortcoming. But after endless edits on a laptop in airports, train stations and various living rooms and cafes, and hilarious recording sessions in a kitchen in Pushkar, a guesthouse in Varanasi, my brother's bedroom in Tel-Aviv, I'm glad to have been able to show a glimpse of everyone's deep connection to Music of the Heart.

Lyrics: 

"Its hard to make decisions when each path is bright 
Look around for guidance and people to advise 
Those who listen will become wise 
Go with your instincts and you will survive 
You will survive 
Give us something to live for 

Let your soul create and your mind run free 
Learn from everyone that you meet 
Be the rhythm night and day 
Good souls must lead the way 

Spread the love you have to give is the key in this society 
Takers take but you must be a giver, the universe will then deliver 

Give us something to live for"

SO excited to finally share this with you guys... Mimi Page, Jeff ( Seven Lions) and I started this tune over a year ago. After Mimi and I worked together on the "A Bad Place" remix I really wanted to work with her again on an original track... And ever since a mutual friend showed me Jeff's work a year and a half ago i was eager to do a song with him.

War of Consciousness

Erothyme was born on planet Earth and has been making the jams since, like, forever, man! His sound is a majestic blend of overblown hyperbole and meaningless adjectives that actually have nothing to do with music. His tracks land in your ear like a dolphin gracefully diving into the surface of the ocean after doing a triple backflip in front of the setting sun. Erothyme founded the Perpetual Victory Machine at the beginning of time because he knew it was good to be on the winning team. Some people think that Erothyme doesn't be like he is, but he do.

Some praise for the 2014 full length album, Circadia:

"Really lovely, spacious, thoughtful, intelligent, subtle, atmospheric, emotional, tender, delicate, wonderous electronic music"
- Bluetech

"... leaves the listener blissfully lost within multiple layers of melodies, reverberated vocals, live instruments and gentle grooves that are all covered in well thought out electronic soundscapes...
‘Circadia’ is certainly a milestone in the new wave of downtempo electronic music & is a highly recommended listen for people of all ages and musical backgrounds."
- Dekompress.net

"... a quality of composition almost unequalled... dreamogenic feeling... an invitation to fly away from one's sofa to the skies and tickle the clouds, to go for a walk in the greens somewhere, to watch closely a colony of ants at work from a high-placed branch... To all lovers of tranquillity: add it to your best-of folder... "
- La Mojoteque

"Long-haired grass hymns sipping rays of sunlight in the Rockies."
- Skogsgospel

"I love this music! We had it playing for first daughters birth!﻿"
