Ray saw eachother for the first time in awhile, and i recorded our reunion...conversation and all.  Special moments with true friends.  This is one of my favorite songs i've written.   www.bit.ly/freedbc

"Silence" from "Freedoming" "(.UNEARTH.)" written by Dominguez/Porter

"Silence" Free Dominguez iphone first time playing with Ray Porter since 2006

(I went back and forth on posting this~and then I realized, fuck it, i'm not to cool, and sharing with others is what helps us get on in this "piece of dirt around the sun").  So here you go:  

This beautiful woman who has been a part of the music over the years got the "skype AMA / a cappella" on Volcano+The Sea Kickstarter.

So unexpected. We got spiritual... What "spiritual" means to me - when i say it, for myself - is that a connection of vibrations, accessing consciousness in ourselves, and keeping ourselves as balanced as possible...to work on the inward journey so we can give to others (which is the reward), along, against and with the strong currents of our challenges of being a human being. if materialism is on one end of the spectrum, "spiritual" would be at the other end.

i then sang "Relief" a cappella. I have to say - it was such a deep experience. there were tears. i think i forgot a couple of lyrics... because we both realized, we are of the same 'stardust' - and we are all made of music.

these experiences, and i get to have many of them, are the serenity and sanity in what seems to be, at times, insane choice to do music.

thank you.

(p.s. i did have permission to post this from her)

Skype conversation (excerpt)

One of my favorite songs by Neil Young. Started this sometime in 2004, after i had come back from being checked after a 4 car accident... Vicodin was surely involved. Later messaged Ray Porter to send me some guitar interpretations, and voila this is what ended up with. a syrup-y churning, melancholy version. ... It even made it to his Heart of Gold Wikipedia! p+l

Mr. Goodnight, can i talk to you 
Mr. Goodnight, we've a lot to do
Another flight, another cruise
to redeem

Mr. Goodnight what did she do to you?
Fell in love with a heart tattoo
But inside she was black and blue
…so it seems

If you can't see through the walls of everything you really want to be
Then i'll say goodnight, and see you in a dream 

Mr. Goodnight, can i talk to you
Another flight, a different view
I think it could belong to you
….with a key


If you can't see through the walls of everything you really want to be
Then i'll say goodnight, and see you in a dream 

When you dance in the clouds
There's a game on the ground
Take a chance, feel it now
When you dance in the crowd….

If you can't see through the walls of everything you really want to be
Then i'll say goodnight, and see you in a dream 
I'll say goodnight
I'll say goodnight

Mr. Goodnight

When Kaila and Kid were out here in LA, Kaila and i sat in my  living room just jamming out ideas.  Perfect in the imperfections.  I could do this all day long.  There is nothing better than feeling that instantaneous connection with another musician.

HISTORY:  I started this song on Theraflu and Bass.  in 6/8.  Brought it to STATIC, he made it better and the changes better.  Did an iphone demo of it acoustically which i will put up here soon.  JJ heard it and said no 6/8, then STATIC and myself dismantled, deleted, and hashed it out that morning we recorded it.
