Muted Moment

LYRICS:

Don't fall in love unless you can take it
Don't open your heart because they will break it

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

Don't open your eyes before you can see them
Don't fall for the lies because you want to believe them

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm twisted, tongue tied
I look in your eyes and then I'm mesmerized
And I'm taken, with your lie

When they were released in the 90’s, Mickey Hart’s At the Edge, Planet Drum, and Supralingua really knocked me out and took me from being primarily a jazz-fusion drummer into a deep exploration of world music and exotic percussion. I never quit listening to his records, and it’s taken a great deal of restraint to avoid stealing too many of his ideas over the years. Probably more so than on anything I’ve done recently, this latest track has his influence all over it.

For those who feel that percussion doesn’t have a place in ambient music, perhaps this track will soften your stance just a bit. And if it doesn’t, definitely check out Hart’s At the Edge sometime; it will surely win you over.

With the mix I attempted to create a pseudo Spatial Audio surround effect as if the listener is moving among the musicians inside a circle (it’s really just some careful use of panning, reverb, and delay). I wouldn’t say it was 100% successful, but if you’re interested, please listen with headphones to hear the effect.

Thanks for taking a listen, your feedback is always appreciated!

Midnight

MIDNIGHT

Out of place, but still aligned
Foreign shape with a native mind
Bright dissonance, I let it show
I don’t fit—don’t need to, though
Streetlight hum in a serif tone
Patterns bloom when I walk alone

Crown of thorns on a fruit of gold
Sweetness hidden, a story told
I am slow in the city’s haste
Out of place—but not displaced

Sidewalk veins in a fractured grid
Numbers whisper what others hid
Glass repeats the sun’s refrain
Steel remembers but not my name
Streetlight hum in a serif tone
Patterns bloom when I walk alone

Crown of thorns on a fruit of gold
Sweetness hidden, a story told
I am slow in the city’s haste
Out of place—but not displaced

Out of place, but still aligned
Foreign shape with a native mind
Bright dissonance, I let it show
I don’t fit—don’t need to, though
Streetlight hum in a serif tone
Patterns bloom when I walk alone

Crown of thorns on a fruit of gold
Sweetness hidden, a story told
I am slow in the city’s haste
Out of place—but not displaced

Sidewalk veins in a fractured grid
Numbers whisper what others hid
Glass repeats the sun’s refrain
Steel remembers but not my name
