OK, I admit... I made this playlist for my own selfish reasons (I'm a tad OCD; and I thought it would be interesting to see all my solo works organized in one list, in chronological order... just cuz). But that doesn't mean you can't benefit from my weirdness, since I've already done the hard bit. :D

(I plan to do the same with my Remix and Collab collection, so check back here on my repost page for that playlist as well.)

GrevusAnjl (The Whole Ball Of Wax)

2023 is about to become a distant memory; and it may have been the most significant year of my life, because it was the year I finally put my relationship with alcohol behind me (see the liner notes for 'Last Call' if you want to know what happened). Needless to say, it's been a learning and growing experience. I'm getting to know sober adult Justin for the first time (and man, is he a strange character). I suspect it will be several more months before I have a fully clear picture of what my mind looks like when it's fully clear. So wish me luck. In the meantime, I'll be taking a break from the liner notes in 2024, while I figure out how to navigate this new mental space.

Keeping with tradition, here is my entire collection of solo works for 2023 (Please note: I'll be uploading the songs I made after I started my break back in August, over the next few weeks. I should have all of those uploaded to SC by mid February... so this list will actually be finalized then). If you want to hear my 2023 solo pieces in chronological order, this is the place to be. If you're interested in what I've done with other musicians this past year, you can visit my playlist 'GrevusAnjl & Friends (The Complete 2023 Collab & Remix Collection)'. And if you're curious about what I've done in prior years, I have similarly named playlists for those as well.

Massive hugs to my global community of friends. Here's hoping 2024 is a year of growth. Important things will be revealed during all this chaos. Here's hoping we learn enough to turn the Titanic around (and not just go full throttle toward the iceberg). :)

Greetings my SC friends. I have a fun one to share with you today. In fact, it might exceed the legal limits for perky and quirky… so don’t go driving under the influence. :D

So here we are, choking down the remainder of January 2023 (try it with the honey mustard. It goes down a lot easier). Here in the US, many of us are trying to make the most of this potentially quieter year, as we count down to what I like to call Apocalyptageddon (otherwise known as the 2024 Presidential Election).

Despite (or perhaps in the face of) the ‘OMGHOLYSHITARGH!!!’ going on everywhere, I’m seeing the most interesting evolutions in this community. And it’s not just me noticing this. I’ve recently read quite a few comments about how much people have grown creatively. I’m seeing huge strides in the musical skills and songs of so many of our SC friends, many in just the past year. And I have a theory for why that is… and I am prepared to demonstrate…

Imagine for a moment that you are a human being with feelings. Someone comes up to you and says “I love who you turned out to be. You have a great mind and a great imagination. Your creations are quite magical. And I really want to spend more time in your space, seeing what you do next.”

If you’re like me, and I know I am (line blatantly stolen from a favorite MST3K), positive reinforcement like that is tremendously motivating. I can’t wait to get back to my creative space to see if I can make something even more awesome the next time. I know to a certain degree, that’s just me feeding my ego. But let’s face it. Ego is the Operating System we have been provided in this lifetime; and it does love to feed (it’s overfeeding that leads to bloating, so just try to keep to healthier serving sizes).

Now imagine again that you are one of those peeps with feels. Someone comes up to you and says “You suck. You’re worthless. You always will be.”

I personally find this slightly less motivating. And if you already have a less than ideal self esteem, that kinda crap sinks in deep and destroys confidence.

I think the point I’m trying to make is, the human experience isn’t meant to be a hermit-like adventure. I’m pretty sure loving ourselves for just being us may be one of the highest achievable goals. But as long as the ego is in the pilot’s seat, we need interaction (both verbal and physical). We need validation. We need to feel like our lives are meaningful. And we get that from each other. But it’s important to remember a subtlety… we also have the privilege of giving that to each other. And giving might actually be more beneficial to the soul than getting, where this gift is concerned.

This is where so many of you come in. You are the kind and loving voices, letting people know they’re doing great. You take the time to remind them, their creative explorations are worth the effort. Many of you motivated me to try harder through positive reinforcement, and even direct guidance. And I happily watch as you continue to do the same for the folks just starting up. You’re a beautiful bunch of people, and I admire you greatly. 

So please, you wonderful souls, keep doing what you’re doing; both being creative and being supportive. We all benefit from the kindness this group generates. We are all inspired to be better people through the actions of those who help us out along the way. You are all a huge positive influence in my life, and I hope I can be the same for you. Let’s make 2023 obnoxiously loving, friendly and funny. Let’s brighten this world again, dancing naked on the dining room table, a rose clamped tightly between our teeth.

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic meandering ‘Choosing Our Own Adventure’. :)

WTF! The Musical

Choosing Our Own Adventure

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually, as part of a future solo album)

Good afternoon my SC friends. This year, I thought it might be fun to share some of the brain rebooting information I’ve discovered over the years that helped me navigate life a little easier. So if you like the idea of following along with these liner notes, you’ll want to watch this video first (about 1 minute... Selective Attention Test video: https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo), before you continue reading down. It’s quite challenging to get the count right, but the results are utterly fascinating. :)

*waits patiently*

Welcome back. So, if you haven’t already seen it before, you just watched a video that brilliantly demonstrates our limited capacity as observers. I admit, I was so busy counting the passing ball… I totally missed the gorilla. Most of my family missed it as well. And according to the creators of the video, at least 50% of the audience will. That’s mind blowing.

So what does that say about our perceptions? It seems to suggest we’re not as aware as we think we are. And that is a lovely thought, because it means we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves when we misperceive things. We are literally incapable of taking it all in, and therefore we don’t always have the full picture (or even the same picture as our fellow traveller).

And that just demonstrates the limits of our mental awareness. Now consider our senses for a moment… how our hearing range is limited to a range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Think about how our vision doesn’t go below the ultraviolet or above the infrared. And I know I can’t smell things to the excellent degree my family’s pets can. 

The one that really blows my mind is that we aren’t ever physically touching anything. There is always an atomic amount of space between all objects. So when I sit down in a chair, what’s really happening is the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up my butt are interacting with the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up that chair; and the signals are all just electrical stimuli to my brain. I believe I can feel the smoothness of the polished woodgrain… but it isn’t a full or accurate story.

So now we have an idea of the limitations of our five senses. Add to that how we are limited to those five senses in the first place (unless some of you have physically developed sonar like a bat or have the ability to create an external multi-member neural network like fungi do underground), and you start to have a better idea just how much of the picture we are missing. 

So in a nutshell, we simply don’t have the full picture; and that can be a very liberating realization. That idea gave me the wisdom I needed to release my stranglehold on being a perfectionist… just a little bit. If I’m constantly missing things I don’t even know I’m missing, perfection isn’t even an option. I can also take these ideas out into the world with me, and realize we really don’t perceive things as similarly as we think we do. We are constantly being influenced by everything from our senses and mental awareness to cognitive dissonance and the bias of preference. We are each having different experiences, and that underlying realization is a great place to start, if change be the thing we desire. :)

So if you found this write-up interesting, you might enjoy ‘The Invisible Gorilla, And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us’ by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. It’s a thought provoking read. 

I’ll share other inspirational books and TV shows in future song notes. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed my latest sonic adventure, ‘Develop Mental’ (especially all the little details I added in the 21kHz+ range, as well as the ‘scratch and sniff for dogs’ elements). :)

Develop Mental

Happy Sunday my SC friends. I’m having a great time revisiting my favorite books and movies, trying to find inspirational material for these liner notes. The author I want to share today is one of my greatest influences in life (and one many of you know as well)… Ram Dass.

I’ll be sharing some of my favorite quotes of his momentarily. But before I do that, I would like to mention why he was so inspiring to me. 

What makes Ram Dass a unique esoteric/spiritual voice is that he actually started out as an Atheist. But he openly struggled with not knowing the answers to life’s most profound questions, and he was willing to pursue alternative ways of thinking, and update his beliefs based on his direct experiences. 

While he was still Dr. Richard Alpert, he began his explorations through the use of psychedelics while teaching at Harvard University. He joined Timothy Leary in these studies; but Harvard wasn’t thrilled with this potentially scandalous exploration, and fired them both. He then decided to take his spiritual explorations to India. This is where he had a perspective shifting, unexplainable first encounter with Neem Karoli Baba (who later became his guru, affectionately known as Maharaj-ji). He was given the name Ram Dass (servant of God) by his guru; and after spending several years at Neem Karoli Baba’s ashram, he became one of the leading voices of the 60s counter-culture movement. 

For me, his is a voice of love and humor and acceptance. And when I read his books and hear him speak, the feeling I get is ‘Hey, I don’t have it all figured out just yet. But I’m willing to put in the daily practice, and see if I’m a better person tomorrow. Do you want to join me on this adventure, fellow traveler?” And that is so refreshing when you just need the gentle, loving voice of a compassionate friend. 

Here are some of my favorite thought provoking quotes (many from his book, One Liners):
_______

“In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.”

“You can’t be free if in any fashion you’re holding the hand of fear.”

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.”

“Treat everyone you meet like God in drag.”

“At the moment when there’s nothing more to lose, the Ego breaks open—and then we see who we are behind who we thought we were.”

“A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there’s work to be done.”

“To materialist eyes, India is a developing country; to spiritual eyes, the United States is a developing country.”

“If you think you’re enlightened go spend a week with your family.”

“Our journey is about being more deeply involved in life, and yet less attached to it.”

“Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.”

“We’re all just walking each other home.”
_______

Those are just a few of my favorite quotes. If you enjoyed those, you’ll love his books and recorded lectures (easily found on YouTube) as well. His voice has been a kind and gentle presence for me since my teens, and his passing back in 2019 was a sad day for me. But it’s like he said, “When someone we love dies, we get so busy mourning what died that we ignore what didn’t.” His ideas will live on in my heart for the rest of my life, and that is a priceless gift. I hope you enjoy ‘Upgrading My RAM So DASS Will Launch’. :)

Since it’s Springtime (at least, in my neck of the woods), I thought it would be fun to share a few gardening tips… for your brain!! :)

Consider for a moment the evolving brain of our mammalian ancestors. Recent neuroscience studies suggest we are dramatically more wired for absorbing and reliving negativity than we are positivity. It’s all part of the survival plan. If you think a lot about a bad situation (like that time you were jumped by a tiger in the jungle, and barely escaped with your life), you’re able to imagine similar scenarios better, and are less likely to fall victim to the same situation. 

The issue is, the average human is not as physically threatened as mammals were during those early developmental stages. But we are more psychologically threatened; and those scenarios still get stored, replayed and reimagined in the same way. 

Admittedly, we still need those survival skills to some degree. But perhaps it’s ok if we dial them down a bit. So how do we do that? With the help of the next cool book I want to share, ‘Hardwiring Happiness’ by Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

One of the most profound ideas I pulled from this book was the idea of just sitting and dwelling in a positive moment. Sounds weird, right?

Intriguingly… quite the opposite of how we store negative experiences for survival purposes, positive experiences don’t often benefit our survival, and are typically discarded with the passing of short term memory. 

But if you dwell in a happy moment… if you feel the excitement in your body (chemical), if you replay the scenario (neurological)… and don’t just shrug it off, but literally allow yourself to spend even 5-10 minutes in that space… you do the same storage upload process to your brain that the negative stuff is doing (and if you’re like me, you can easily spend 5-10 minutes dwelling on that negative crap, so you know you have it in you to focus that long). 

So with practice and patience, you begin to rewire your mind to more easily tap into those positive memories, and that positive energy. And if you keep doing that on a frequent basis, you discover your mind grows much more adept at naturally jumping to happy thoughts rather than fearful thoughts. 

I joyfully admit I put this to the test about 15 years ago, when I started my ‘finding my truth’ journey (it sounded better than a midlife crisis. Those are so passé these days. Sheesh). But I painfully admit… I also had a dragon-sized ego at the time. I hid my fears and self-doubts behind a wall of arrogant rage. And I was strangely untouchable (but also snippy and abrasive) with that kind of armor and weaponry. 

Ultimately, it wasn’t who I wanted to be. Thus the desire for change. I went into this new daily practice expecting no immediate results. All I had was hope that it would impact my neural wiring eventually. And about 5 years into that practice, I realized I was recognizably more positive inside. 

Granted, it took me that long because I was (foolishly) at war with my ego, thinking it was ‘the enemy’… rather than just a co-pilot with delusions of piloty grandeur (so there you go, you can bypass that step if you want to). 

15 years into my practice, I am so much healthier mentally than I was back then, it’s like I’ve lived two different lives. Now, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I can absolutely see the journey was well worth it. So if you’re looking for another insightful tool for changing your thinking, I highly recommend ‘Hardwiring Happiness’. It’s a great ‘starting point’ book. And it’s based on neuroscience; so, very high on logic, but low on esoteric (making it a little more approachable to the masses). 

I hope you also enjoyed my latest musical creation, ‘Planting In The Hidden Garden’. :)

Every once in a while I encounter something that is so well written (and speaks so directly to my heart), the best thing I can do is simply pass it along. This little slice of hopeful wisdom is by Brian Piergrossi (an author/mentor/life coach type of fellow, http://brianpiergrossi.com/; and the poem originally appeared in his book 'The Big Glow'). It was a very lucky internet discovery; and resonates pleasantly with my thinking. I hope it inspires you too. :)

Oh, and before I forget, there’s also a new song to enjoy… ‘In Cognito’, while you read Brian’s delightful message. :D

LOVE IS THE NEW RELIGION (AKA: A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY)
On the surface of the world right now there is 
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, 
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place 
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You won’t see us on the T.V.
You won’t read about us in the newspaper
You won’t hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes 
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, 
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street 
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night 
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world 
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
Releasing grudges, letting go of judgments..
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the 
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates 
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open

Since the beginning you were my friend 
I thought you would be here until the end

1 hour to go
I have to say goodbye 
You can’t stay and I just can’t say goodbye tonight

I know you’ve got it
You’ve got to go
Won’t you remember to call home? 

Please say “you’ll stay forever”
You know I won’t forget you 
Burnt in my mind for life

This is the lead track from the set of songs that I began with Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the turmoil and chaos brought upon by the pandemic. This is also the first part of four tracks within the album directly based on Wou-Wou’s comic, The Shrike. It has been incredible working with Bitzone and Stricknice throughout the project as well. It is always cool when the everyone in the stag heard works well togehter and brings distinct yet complimentary ideas to the mix. Big thanks also to Weighty Tree for introducing his groovy style of neopsychedelica to the rut! 

May everyone be victorious at their turn during the rut.

Lyrics

Intro
Several weeks after the events of The Great Scurry, all had returned back to normal in the autumnal forest. Nature has a way of quickly shaking off the traumas of the past and returning to its most basic of desires. You see, all of life yearns to mate and procreate, and while most that experience defeat from the stronger or rejection from those seeking the fitter, muster the determination to get back up again, some take their spurning to heart, as if they were more deserving than nature intended, where it festers and begins to grow a new grotesque life of its own.     

Verse
Word 
Yo
As antlers crashed with the desperation of lust 
And the scent of musk in the air
I couldn’t help but take notice there
Was a sweet smell of autumn 
Carried in the gust 
Of wind  
It is a beautiful time of the year
When the does come into estrus 
And there is only one thing on my mind
I must get some of that behind 
I find
Times like these to be harbingers 
That linger
I could count times like these on my fingers
If I didn’t have hooves 
And wasn’t crashing to the ground 
With the sound of defeated dreams 
Of games of hard to get
And multiple days of getting wet 
I let the overwhelming excitement of rut
Get the best of me 
And now am crest fallen to see
The Doe that I thought was mine
Walk away with the buck that brought me down to the twines
Uh

Pradera, salgo de viaje,  /  Prairie, I go on a trip,
te dejo aquí prisionera.  /  I leave you prisoner here.
Salgo sin prisa, pradera,  /  I leave without hurry, prairie,

Ventoso Blues A La Pradera (with The Windscale Blues Experiment)

Regolith

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. I added my five string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part. Then JJ poured his magic into it, too. Stephen came up with the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. 
  Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Feed the flame or the fire flames out

And this be song six (and also the title track) for my upcoming album. This one was originally finished on 12/04/2023. I have just one more left to share that was finished last year, and two finished early this year... and the final song for the album is in the works as we speak. 

I'll try to keep to these Friday releases (almost missed it tonight though. haha). So whilst you wait patiently for the others, I offer you 'What Color Is Your Paradox'. :)

Paradox?

You Broke Me feat Odarka

Life is one big adventure. There are many challenges to overcome, many paths to take, many decisions to make. Pursue your goal even if it is difficult or precisely because it is difficult. And when you have achieved it, you will look for the next adventure.

This track is a collaboration with SeaShea on.soundcloud.com/CnDF4
I thought this song would be suitable for the opening of the album. When I asked SeaShea for guitar, he not only contributed his usual electric guitar but also created some tracks with synthesizers. The song, initially incomplete, reached its completion through his efforts. Collaborating with him has been a fantastic experience.

Carl Finlow - Entron (FRANCOIS DILLINGER Remix)

A good friend of mine said this is a must see movie „ bande á part“ (jean luc godard) I think he is right
This piece was inspired by this film. 
I stole a few samples from this famous scene (woh woh woh) :

Bande à part (1964) - Dance scene  
and sampled my guitar.

THE END MIXX 1 100719 WIP - M3NT 01 - 01

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not? 
estoy pensando que esto no es lo mejor.   /   I am thinkinkg this is not the best.
Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?
de repente me he puesto a pensar.   /   Suddenly I have started to think.

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends
 es el más valioso cuando estoy contigo.   /   is the most valuable one when I am with you
Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends
tengo que encontrarlos, pero ya se han ido todos.   /   I must find them, but they are all gone already.

Fumando   /   Smoking 
tras los cristales   /   behind the windows
mojados de lluvia vieja.   /   wet with old rain
Recuerdos   /   Memories
 que me llevan flotando   /   carry me floating
 a estar con ella.   /   to be with her

Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos.   /   I must search for them among my friends

Tú, yo, ¿qué sé yo?   /   You, me, what do I know?
está lloviendo pero tengo calor.   /   It is raining but I feel hot
Qué, quién, ¡mírame!   /   What, who, look at me !
soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.   /   I am still who you started do love

Soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.  /   I am still who you started do love
