Good to hear your creations, and your valued words again Justin!!

Super, cerebral, rich & interesting piece. Like your take in the write-up too!

Creative tech sounds, Justin...serious fun, if you know what I mean!!!

Well you've really done it this time Justin-- broken all the molds my friend-- and I had been thinking about you and then this jewel Pops up on my feed ==pure synchronicity:):)

Lots of quirky wonderfulness in this tune. I, too, struggle with the craziness going on in the world. While it makes me angry, I also practice having the second thought of believing in humankind's ability to maintain itself. I've gotta believe we will. Or my anger will stop me from being part of that ability. Gotta keep on keeping on. ✌️🤙

Absolutely incredible composition here, Justin!!! Love the vocal manipulation and ambiance of the whole piece. Very nice motifs throughout!

I agree with ONE KIND. Somehow you have this binder effect on a group of us Sounclouders, would definetly feel less fun without your music and liner notes of wisdom. About your music..one of the exiting parts is i will never know in advance what your next thing will be, its allways a surprise, and allways executed with a keen skillset, a refreshing amalgamation of childlike fun and the darker shade of midlife fear.

A welcome song in celebration of the first day of Spring as if to say:

Hello to my dear old friend
I missed you waiting for winter to end
Now it is your time to begin
Yes, it is Springtime once again

Hope you enjoy! Blessings to all!

Nothing More

Feel the wind in your face
Blowing across the bay
You stand up tall
With your back against the wall

Watch the waves raging
And the seagulls chasing
You’re so done with seeing
What the world has become

All that is left
Is here with me
Nothing more nothing less
Just me and my fear

Through the eye of the storm
There comes a barque
It carries a load 
So precious but worn 

And when the day was done
And darkness had been gone 
You’re starring stunned at
Heaven’s vault in the sun

All that is left
Is here with me
Nothing more nothing less
Just me and my fear

Nothing More

RELEASE NOTES

A collaborative jam featuring Stonerjazz (@user-911083679) on vocals,
Turab Khan (@turab-khan) on guitar, Zanshin 残真 (@soundsofthekosmos) on
drums & Teth Sin (@teth-sin) on guitars, bass & vocals.
This collaboration started back in 2020. Myrh (@myrhyum) suggested Teth
Sin to track a guitar part on "Mazdoor Funk (loop jam with Raza)" -
Original track by Turab Khan:
https://soundcloud.com/turab-khan/chichora-23. The project was then left
aside for various logistical and technical reasons.
A couple of years later Zanshin 残真 sent Teth Sin a sample of his cool
street drumming, which was synced to Turab Khan's jam. Teth Sin, at that
point, decided to cut out the bass and drums from the original piece,
leaving only Turab Khan's guitar. Then he chopped up his guitar solo and
redistributed it across various tracks. He also added a new bass line,
which helped vary the structure of the song.
In late 2023 Teth Sin asked Stonerjazz to kindly add lyrics and vocals.
He mixed and mastered the song, and the result is this enjoyable
funk-rock jam, featuring a sample of Stonerjazz's exquisite
post-beat/psychedelic poetry.
Please note that every element was recorded in a different continent:
drums in Australia, some guitar in Pakistan, other guitars in Tunisia,
bass in Italy, vocals in the USA. Still this virtual jam sounds so
cohesive, despite a world that seems to be increasingly fragmented and
disjointed. At the end of the day, we should always remember that we all
revolve around That Giant Ball Of Burning Gas...

LYRICS by Stonerjazz:

Just out here in the middle of the void,
spinning fast around a giant ball of burning gas
that's hurdling thru the deepest darkest space.
Meteors and comets are zooming by at breakneck pace
The situation seems to be a little bit precarious,
some might even say Nefarious,
how can it be that tragedy can sometimes  almost  be  hilarious.
Stupidity it seems to be the order of the day.
But here we are and here we go onward out,
like warriors without a clue,
and everyone will play their part,
of this i'm sure, i know it's true.

That Giant Ball Of Burning Gas - Feat Teth Sin, Turab Khan, Zanshin 残真

Good evening to my SC friends. I hope life is treating you all well.

First thing I want to share… there is a reason why so many of my recent songs don’t include write-ups. I promised myself a long time ago I would search out positive and productive ideas, and only share those. But lately, I’m wasting a lot of time and energy dwelling in darker territories. It’s way too easy for my ego to jump on the ‘fear’ bandwagon (and it’s happening to a lot of us these days); and I feel an intense responsibility to never use my writing abilities to spread more of that kind of thinking. 

Granted, I am also in a regular state of arguing with that very convincing voice, reminding it that it is only focusing on one perspective (the ‘fear’ one). That right there is gift number one… having a separate voice in my head, working diligently to raise the bar. And it’s a gift we all have; the voice that gently sits above the voice of the ego… reminding us ‘this is all about discovering the love in any given scenario’. The problem is, the ego can get noisy enough to mute that other voice; and it’s easy to forget it’s still there.

But when I achieve those moments of clarity, I laugh at how susceptible I am to my own negative thinking. What I really believe deep down is that (as experiential souls) we’re all actually doing great, and this is all going according to plan. 

I know, I know. Have I lost my mind? That can’t be possible, right? We can’t be ok? There is simply too much evidence to the contrary.

That ‘evidence’ is gift number two. Thanks to tools like the internet and social media, we can see this all happening live, everywhere, and all at once (including the now obvious lies). For the first time in documented history, anything you want to know is readily at your fingertips. 

Granted, the folks who want to control us, understand human psychology well enough to use that information (drizzled in fear) to manipulate us… which seems like a bad thing. But I want to suggest it’s actually a good thing. Our hearts really only want to love (and be loved): and our ego can only take so much negative info before the body grows sick with that energy. Using a nightmare as an example… you’ll endure a lot in that sleeping state, until you reach a tipping point. And then you snap awake from the nightmare, cringe at how convincing it was, and tell yourself “I don’t ever want to experience that again. That was scary.” We need these nightmares for perspective. And the worse the nightmare gets, the more people are destined to wake up from it.

Here’s where my ideas get weird. Instead of fearing all those voices who are currently driving civilization to the brink (of who knows what, just yet). What if we thanked them. What if those frightened/frightening voices are inadvertently doing exactly what we need them to be doing… breaking the nightmare, by making it unbearable. These days, when someone tells me I need to be afraid, I immediately gravitate to the thought ‘what do you stand to gain by making me feel that way?” And that is usually enough to spark other ways of thinking. 

Simply speaking, we can determine the trustability of a message by determining its underlying energy: Fear = Bad, Love = Good. So many institutions want us to be afraid right now, and I genuinely question the motives behind anyone pushing that agenda. So yes, I thank all those leaders out there; the ones forcing fear on us so relentlessly. You are waking us up faster than you realize. And while your precariously unsustainable structure won’t survive this awakening… the human race will. 

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic swirl, ‘Poly Ticks And The Powdered Keg’. :)

'Walking The Straight And Narrow' A laid back Fusion/Smooth Jazz track...For those "not quite so rushed" moments in life...

Walking The Straight And Narrow

Here is the next song in The Smoking Trout's epic series, The Quest for the Holy Dumpling! After featuring 7 musicians on our last track this one feels pretty stripped down to the core elements of me, Jeff and Stephen. Came together rather spontaneously
Stonerjazz (@user-911083679) --- Words, Vocals
TexMex Shaman (@texmex-shaman) --- Guitar
Tea R. Sea (@tea_are_sea) --- Beat, Synths, Production

Catch up on the Quest for the Holy Dumpling: on.soundcloud.com/FR63a
Listen to the Land of Zed, Smoking Trout's debut album: on.soundcloud.com/WB34q

LYRICS:
Took some money from a monkey
looking for some information
he got funky at a party on a planet
where we landed after launching
from Oaxaca
on a Monday in December
I remember needing fuel for the fission
in the belly of the bus
The monkey wanted Mushrooms
and we had a Kilo
and the recipe for the holy dumpling

Now Stu he started singing
a country song that he'd been working on
That went like This--

i'm pretty sure she loved me for a minute
so delicious in the moment we were in it
when she left me, I was so broken
by the cruelty of the loss
I sought solace in the bottom of a bottle
but I guess i'm better for it
and mostly now, the pain, I ignore it
anymore there's nothin left to do for it
but forget it--

Father Richard "Dick" O'***** was an inner city street priest who distributed customized "feel good" elixirs before he was defrocked and eventually incarcerated.   He used to hang out with his followers on the corner of Pico and Washington and do free-form rap, loosely incorporating biblical themes.

“If you point one finger, there are three more pointing back at you”! Riffindots doesn’t necessarily tackle the political issues of today, but rather she turns them inward. “Filth Tank” recounts that in all of us is inner turmoil and ugliness and it must manifest itself into an exterior human form that we all abhor but we just can’t get enough! So now your parade float awaits you! 

A seething guitar intro ushers you and a different guitar takes over chiming throughout as if it’s reverberating over a vast lake. Once you’re in, you’ll realize that this track is anthemic.

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

TAKE YOUR TIME AND SAY,
LOOK AROUND, AND ABOVE,
IT'S ALL HERE TO STAY,
IT'S ALL YOUR'S, IT'S ALL MINE,

(chorus)
SOMEDAY
WE MIGHT DANCE TOGETHER
AND LIVE, IN A LIFE OF LAW
SOMEDAY
THIS COULD LAST FOREVER,
AND LEAVE, THIS WORLD ALONE

SO TAKE A LOOK AHEAD
MAY'BE YOUR, NOT TO SURE,
THE CALL TO STAND THE LINE,
TO SAY GOODBYE, NEVER COMING BACK,

THE HERO IS STILL TO BE,
IN OUR LIVES, TO MAKE US FREE
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS AND
SAY GOODBYE, TO ALL THE GREED,

(BREAK)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SOMEDAY, LEAVE THIS WORLD ALONE.
