come take My hand
You should know Me
I've always been in Your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding You

building Your dream
has to start now
there's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding You

-

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

-

from where I stand
You are home free
the planets align -- it's so rare
there's promise in the air
and I'm guiding You

through every turn
I'll be near You
I'll come every time You call
I'll catch You when Ya fall
I'll be guiding You

-

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

and bring all Your dreams to life
for You

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive

for You

and they match very well with the droning waves, isn't it?

quiet and selfish [disquiet # 0616] w/how the night came

"🌍✨ Immerse yourself in a powerful journey for peace with 'Hollow Lies' 🕊️🎶

Embark on a heartfelt exploration of a dreamer's yearning for tranquility in the midst of chaos. 'Hollow Lies' takes you to a sweet place, a home longing for serenity in Palestine.

🌙✨ Verse 1:
As missiles soar and children fall, the dreamer seeks escape from the relentless bombing in the streets. Tired of running with sores on their feet, they yearn for a peaceful slumber.

🎵🌈 Chorus:
Dream with the music and step back in time, breaking free from the hollow lies that plague the world. Pray for peace in Palestine, wishing for kindness to prevail in a cruel world.

🌐🔗 Verse 2:
Yearning to break free from the politics of hate, the dreamer condemns leaders for their stubbornness. Rejecting the bloodshed and violence, they long for progress and an end to the out-of-control chaos.

🎶🙏 Chorus:
Dream of a world where hollow lies have no power, stepping back into a time where humanity thrives. Pray for men to be kind and embrace the dream of peace in Palestine.

🌌🔮 Middle 8:
As the dreamer envisions a world free from hollow lies, step back in time to an era where humanity never dies. Dream of living side by side, breaking free from the divisive forces that tear nations apart.

🕊️🌈 Conclusion:
Join the dreamer in their quest for peace in 'Hollow Lies.' Let the music be a prayer for a kinder world, where dreams of unity and serenity can become reality. 🙏🎶✨

Lyrics:

New World Order knows what's best for you
YouTube feed knows what you need
Shares and Likes the new worlds currency 
Did you figure it out? That It all means nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

New vaccines made from spiked protein
Ministry of Truth decides what's real
Mask mandates keep your family safe
Did you figure it out? You all mean nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!
I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL OUR WORLD!!

At Worlds End

let it destroy itself

Because, I'm insane. The Ianuarius EP of 2023 Jamuaries has a second set of the exactly the same songs (except for a unique one on each) but handled by a different mastering engineer. This time, a straight digital master from our friend, RDT. All the clarity that I'd hoped for he achieved on the first shot.

RDT is available to master your track on Fiverr. While he gets rolling in this service, his rates are basically nil and the results sparkling. If you're interested in getting your track mastered beautifully for the price of a venti latte, here ya go :

https://www.fiverr.com/rdtmakesmusic/

The plan was to get one done from all corners of the mastering world. A brick n mortar pro, a DAW super-ninja, and AI services. Except for the AI ones, they aren't meant to be compared with each other. These are different approaches and both humans exceeded my expectations. I have been making new AI masters based on the two provided by humans, using one as the source file and the other as the reference to mimic the dynamics/color. The consensus appears to be that these are the best of them. But I can't post them because I already feel crazy for doing two masters. xD If you'd like to hear these, please reach out to me personally.

Maybe by now, some of you are as burnt on these tunes as I am but the idea here, and for all of these is just to learn, familiarize myself with the process and connect w ppl Thanks for putting up with it. :)

Straight Ups

Into the sonic bridge

I am a classical pianist and have many years of study behind me coming from a family of musicians. I love classical music but also every kind of music that I consider beauty.  My music starts from a feeling that touch my heart which grows little by little and which I then express through the piano. I like music that has passion , energy and feeling because it reflects who I am.

DARK WAVE | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
