Happy Friday to my SC friends. Today’s musical offering is very special to me because it signifies a breaking away from my old patterns. Long story short… old Justin was pretty set in his music making/production routines (solo work belongs on solo albums. Collab work belongs on collab albums. And never the two shall meet). 

But new Justin is proving to be surprisingly more flexible in his thinking; an interesting (I might even go as far as to say… shocking) result of my new paradigm. And while it might seem like a ‘nothing burger’ to most people… the way my brain is wired, this is a huge change… and one I am grateful for.

So today I happily offer my first collab song, also intended for my first hybrid album. The song is called ‘Life In Twilight’… and my guest artist is our dear friend, Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com), offering up the lovely Alto Sax and Guitar you hear in this piece

If you haven’t already crossed paths with Carlos, you are missing out. He is one of the most prolific people I have encountered in my travels. He plays about 30+ instruments, each with impressive skill. And if the instrument doesn’t exist... he creates it himself. And 'musician' is just one aspect of his inspiring and adventurous life. He is a great example of a person who discovered his passions early, and is now living a beautiful life pursuing those passions. We need more people like him in this world, reminding us of what is truly important.

On a personal level, the stuff Carlos has taught me over the years has helped me ease into this new sober life with tremendous grace. The music theory and instrumental lessons have helped make my sonic worlds more sophisticated (and therefore more rewarding to craft). And the moving and breathing meditations (Chi energy exercises) have proven fundamental to my mental/spiritual well being too. Needless to say, he has been a major influence in my evolving life; and I will be forever grateful. 

Carlos, I am honored beyond words that you are the guest artist on my first hybrid album. It signifies a great new direction for me. I’m excited to be on this path, and I’m glad you agreed to join me. 

To everyone else, we hope you enjoy “Life In Twilight”, the first of two new songs with Carlos that will ultimately wrap up my upcoming album “What Color Is Your Paradox?” 

(And yes... this is the last song I still had in the archives from my little break; originally finished on 1/20/2024. It's all going to be new content from here on out). :)

Paradox?

Hello, Freind. Thank you for visiting my page.
**All compositions are original, and free of A.I.**
 As musicians we crave to be heard, to be seen, to share with another some of the joy we take in our creating. In fact our music does not really "exist" until it has evoked a response from another.  Indeed to be a human is to live with the need to be seen and responded to.
But this is world where we are distracted and drowning in content; constantly being pulled at by the algorithms competing for our attention. A world where " everybody's talking and no one's being heard" (John Lennon).
So your human attention has become a scarce and valuable thing. A commodity that is being mined.
So I really do appreciate that you have taken the time to visit my page, and listen to my offerings. Thank you.
 I welcome your comments, your feedback, your friendship. I will visit you in return.

Barbara Gogan, Salvatore Principato, Ken Man, Scott Hartley, Thomas Truax , Johanna Hugring, Martina Hoogland, Amanda Garrett and many others. For many years I also wrote Jingles for a lot of products like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mc Donalds, Toyota, Kodak, Payless Shoes, Rothman's, Salsa Tabasco, JC Penny, Liberty Science Center, American Heart Association, MCI, Reebok, AT&T, Fanta, Play Movil, etc, I also made music for Viacom writing music for cartoon networks, Bravo TV, Chanel 1, and MTV.

FREEDOM OF OPINION - FREEDOM OF THOUGHT - FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Some say I don't mince words. I sometimes say terrible things, as well as sweet and superfluous ones. I can love and hate, but I always maintain respect for those who love me or provoke me.

Currently, the world is changing dangerously. Those responsible are not always who we think. And those who deserve punishment are undoubtedly those who cause it, but even more so those who instigate it.

I like Americans and I like Russians. What I appreciate much less is the politics of these countries, their leaders, their underlings, and their administrations... In France, it must be admitted that things have been a real mess for the past few years, and there's nothing we can do about it. We joined the European Union, which now imposes its directives, which dark and idiotic "governors" implement without a word, since their countries are no longer sovereign.

We knew the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)... and now we are 27 countries in the UESR (Union of European Socialist Republics).

This UESR is a monumental mistake, not the very beginning, but the one it has become, an entity that relentlessly pursues its devastating expansionism, which also allows NATO bases in the countries of the union, and which the Russians consider a direct threat. Well, I understand them!

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis from October 14 to 27, 1962, a diplomatic and military confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was "too close" and represented a direct threat! It was almost the beginning of World War III, so the Soviet Union withdrew its missiles. Let the United States do the same now by withdrawing its NATO nuclear missiles, which it has deployed throughout the European Union.

The European Union promised us peace—which is, after all, why it was created—but now it wants war. It must be said that what the European Union has lacked (from the very beginning!) is a common defense, which was not the case for the former Soviet Union or even for the United States today.

The United States of Europe is like the frog that wanted to be bigger than the ox. Without a common defense, it is headed for certain doom, or it relies on NATO for its defense, but the game is no longer the same and would be much more dangerous for the entire world. This is where forced expansionism leads.

Peace on Earth to people of goodwill - ❤️🕊️🙏
