Speechless

Like most of the guys playing parts on this song, this one's a pretty special one for me, because of my dad's love for country music and being an amazing guitarist who was a big influence on me to play music. Thanks to Josh for reaching out to invite us along for this one, and to all the guys for putting their hearts into the performances here!

Dedicated to Dad.

This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured his son, Marshall, singing the lead with him, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to elder Clary. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. 
 
 The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 
  After presenting Josh's dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the John Denver, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break in the middle now. He also added the guitar lick around the beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his terrific harmonies. Mark threw down a harmony line as well during the verse, and one of the 2 high chorus harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

(song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver)

Don't Let Go

LISP es mi primer single y formará parte del próximo EP "Artificial Intelligence", un EP conceptual que gira en torno a la IA.
Desde antiguos lenguajes de programación utilizados en este campo como LISP, (List Processor) de 1958, un año después de Fortran y uno antes que Cobol, a expresar mi fascinación por la IA y a la vez inquietud por cómo evoluciona a pasos agigantados, encontrándose presente en todas las disciplinas humanas. La creación de futuras redes neuronales artificiales, su influencia tanto en las sociedades como en la propia IA. La singularidad tecnológica o advenimiento hipotético de inteligencia artificial general, según John Von Neumann y Ray Kurzweil, término popularizado en 1983 por el matemático y escritor Vernor Vinge.
Todo ello expresado a través de paisajes  sonoros en este  "EP futurista"
Música compuesta, interpretada, grabada y masterizada por:

LISP is my first single and will be part of the upcoming EP "Artificial Intelligence", a concept EP that revolves around AI.
From old programming languages used in this field such as LISP, (List Processor) from 1958, a year after Fortran and one before Cobol, to expressing my fascination for AI and at the same time concern for how it evolves by leaps and bounds, being present in all human disciplines. The creation of future artificial neural networks, their influence on both societies and AI itself. The technological singularity or hypothetical advent of artificial general intelligence, according to John Von Neumann and Ray Kurzweil, a term popularized in 1983 by mathematician and writer Vernor Vinge.
All of this is expressed through soundscapes in this "futuristic EP".

The Circle of Life

A Menina ( little girl)

In a world where flora evolved to think and remember, a lone being known as the Verdant ascended from the soil to commune with the orchid — the most ancient and sentient of all plants. The orchid was said to store echoes of every living creature that had ever inhaled its scent, a biological archive of consciousness itself. As the Verdant pressed its lips to the bloom, not to eat but to listen, memories poured into it like sunlight through glass — wars, love songs, storms, the sound of rain on extinct oceans.

Siempre fascinado por la tecnología los sintetizadores y la música electrónica. Me gustan los sonidos nuevos, me encantan las melodías arpegiadas y sobre todo experimentar.
Hice mi debut en bandcamp en diciembre de 2023 lanzando un EP conceptual de tres pistas titulado: Sustainable Planet y en la comunidad SoundCloud desde abril de 2024.
Gracias por escuchar mi música.
