This was my ('edited') first take rehearsal of very inspiring song by Demi LoVaTo...(!!!) at an upbeat tempo/rhythm… (since I must take it to the 'World Music/ReGgaE' realm eventually which could be even faster… almost at 'bullet^train' speed).

I know, I know…. I guess I will have to apologize to my 'roots' fans at some point, yet I 'rely on' a very diverse musical inspiration realm. I will explain everything when I see y'all (…right) 

Thanks for not judging my soul. May God bless ALL.

SKySCraPeR (Instrumental) || {Rehearsal} (not Demi LoVatO, ok!)

Arranged and composed by "InCienso".

I cannot comment too much about this song, but as you may be able to discern, it is 'in^deed' a love song… but not a normal tune. I just sat down on piano, pressed record and it came out (kind~of) like that… well in different order. It shall make you commune with your HearT and may bring to your Third Eye "GoLDeN NuGgeTz" => episodes of your childhood. 

Stay IRiE… regardless of circumstances around, and always remember… it is absolutely fine to cry (even for boys & adults)… as long as they are heaLiNg tears! ^_^

HeaLiNG TeaRs

Theme song of "The GodFather" (1972). Composed originally by Nino Rota, the title translates to "The Burning Earth" or as others have noted "The Earth burns…".

Truly, it is one of the most emotional acoustic songs of all time and some 'traditionalists' will surely get upset at me for 'dissecting' its main part ~as Skinner [melodica] wanted (for rehearsal purposes) at the moment. I hope you all enjoy.

 PEACE be with y'ALL through ALL SeAsOnS.

Have mercy, party people in the house... it is in^deed an improvised 'one^take'… I will probably do 'edited' version when I have time!

"Brucia La Terra" (Theme of "GodFather") ["ULTRA^Extended" Missing Time Version]

A Journey Within I^SeLF as I find SpiRiTual ReDeMPtioN through MuSiCaL NoteS, deciphering at the same time, the mysteries of CReaTioN through what I can only refer to as 'SouND CoDeS' given in ViSioNs... 

Exactly... the Keys to your TRUE FReeDoM, 
if ye know thyself also!

PEACE be with Y'ALL!

Truly sometimes it is hard to find the right words to describe the SouNds of the UniVeRSe as they 'approach' me

"ChrisTMaS AwaY From You, My BeLoVeD!"

Fortunately for millions of pianists all over the world, Beethoven lived in a time before ASCAP & BMI, and did not 'copyright' his music. I mean, there were still ways to safeguard your tunes from 'pirates' in those days... but we will not get into the protection which Ludwig Van Beethoven might (or might not) have received from the ReNaiSsaNCe 'mob' of his days. However the case may have been, it remains free and available for all to listen, appreciate, 'jam on' and recreate. 

Even though the 100 yrs. limitation for his registered work would have already been expired any which way, it is truly hard to capture the thoughts of the man behind the music and his 'musical vision' a couple of centuries ago. Hence, here is a tribute towards one of the most radical and mysterious characters in our contemporary history, one who defined the properties of music itself to more than one generation... 

In this season, I shall include a couple of different versions to his amazing epic anthem to his 'IMmoRTaL BeLoVeD': "FüR ELiSe" for the listening enjoyment of y'all... This is just a literal re~construction of his masterpiece, which is to be 'dubbed' out soon... 'in a stage near you', through the PoWeRs of the MoST HIGH.

Beethoven's "FüR ELiSe" ('ReDuBbeD') [Movement IV & I... yes in that order!]

Self explanatory verion of MGMT's "Kids" 
inna 'World Music/ReGgaE" inversion. 

1st attempt as 'jam^session' on New Year's Eve (weekend)2012-2013. Uploaded almost 'unedited', so it includes a couple of 'slides'. Any which way, it sounds "IRiE" enough, in essence, so I decided to share it here 'as is'.

Please enjoy in the comfort of your own privacy. :)
Party(public domain)version may be available soon. 

As in most of the 'jams' available here, the "players of instruments" that shall be there are the members of da' "CooL BuS "X^P^'IRie'^Ns":
Rasta Jon  -  Drums (Foundation) = HeaRTBeaT
Li'L Manny -  Bass   (Foundation) = "Spinal Chord"
Skinner       -  Keys 'n Skank
Incienso      -  Synth' Lead and Piano

Variations On "Kids" (MGMT)

ALL~TiME CLaSsiC & EPiC (SeRieS)masterpiece "Stand By Me" by African~American 'legacy' composer for the American Culture (and 'sub^culture) of the EARLY '60s!!! If you guys do not understand the context upon which this song was written, y'all should do some 'online searches' on your PREFERRED search engine on either Rosa Parks, "Civil Rights Era/Movement", Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey and/or just (simply): "the '60s" ...
~~~
Recorded at the TReaSuRe VauLT ReCoRDiNG LaB, Treasure Island, SF, CA.
~~~
"According to King, the song title is derived and was inspired by a spiritual composition by Sam Cooke called "Stand by Me Father" (although Mike Stoller has stated differently). This spiritual [and glorious anthem] was sung by The Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead."
[ source: wikipedia => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_by_Me_%28song%29 ]
~~~
According to Wikipedia (also) there have been over 400 recorded versions of "Stand by Me" performed by many artists, so this one would be actually(or probably)like the #415 {and fittingly} if we consider some other 'underground' or less mainstream 'takes/versions/remixes' already available out there either in the analog world or its cyber^realm counterpart ~OR~ other 'unregistered' ones in the Caribbean Islands.

As most of us know, the original version was the 'mainpiece' featured on the soundtrack of movie [co/incidentially] titled:  "Stand by Me" (1986).

Ominously, last year (2015), 5 weeks before his death, "King's original version was honorably inducted into the National Recording Registry by none other than the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

An edited version may (or may not) be available soon here or elsewhere... Truly, I would not sit and wait for it, as [it took me about 32-40 hrs. to mix] and...] I (may)need to , hmm, 'move on' at this point...

ALL instruments played, (terribly) mixed and (un'fine'ly) tuned/processed by In^100^So.  Mixed WITHOUT 'DAW' (Digital Audio WorkStation), layering tracks on top of others through 'overdub' mode recording at Tascam DR~40 and then unto IPoD through ALeSiS iMuLTiMiX 8! Basically, challenged drastically by the fact that the previous layers cannot be fixed upon recording new ones and forcing the artist to become skilled on 'one~take' recordings. However, this 'State~of~the~Art' analog to digital method is mos' def' not a 'mastered craft yet.

Enjoy and "be LOVE!"

"Stand By Me"

The official prelude for the series: "The Sounds of Creation" which will attempt to manifest upon the Earth the HarmoNieS of the SPheReS...

This is an unedited digital piano 'sound^properties' experiment and so it is not a masterpiece (yet). It is the first track where the ZooM "MuLTiSToMP" MS~70 CDR (Chorus/Reverb/Delay) was incorporated into the recordings and therefore, while I am playing the piano, I am also experimenting with the different settings for the hundreds of effects (and combinations thereof) included in this amazing and crucial pedal for any professional (or amateur) pianist who wants to either take his craft to a 'Higher Level' or simply to make classical and/or digital music sound more modern... The thing has 26 different delays and each can be 'fine~tuned' and combined with other effects in such a way that it sounds like it has actually thousands of delays => which is/was the main effect [element] I was searching for upon deciding to have an 'ultra~processed' sound as the one born now in the ETERNAL PRESENT in my digital piano.

Thanks for checking it out.

Your HuMBle MuSiCaL SeRVaNT and CoSMiC GuaRDiaN,

Enjoy and spread the word....

I will prepare a repertoire with music like this soon for an act within the "Armageddon Redemption" Tour [2017]

RaiD The BarN/HoLDiNG FiRM {TaKe I}

My 1st official instrumental [New AgE] <well^recorded> composition.
A tribute to the Cosmic birthday of our SoLaR SySTem (25,870 yrs.)
and the 'self-explanatory' EVENT HoRiZoN that we are living in our incarnation.
As misunderstood as the date of December 21, 2012 was and still is 
in the minds of earthlings; many of us have become either 'saturated', 
"numbed-out" and/or oblivious of its healing properties and milestone 
significance in relation to our evolution as spiritual beings upon the EaRTH!!!! 
So here is my "at^ONE^ment" as an offering.
~~~
As many of y'all know I'm a great fan of Jim BrickMaN, DaviD LanZ, 
MicheLL CaMiLo and other great "NaRaDa", "WindHaM HiLL" 
& "Higher OcTave" artist. Hence, it is only fair that I 'infiltrate' 
into that realm of TranscendentaL Harmonies 
and HeaLing Sounds of CreaTioN, better known as 'NeW Age', 
because it may virtually represent a substantial part 
of my growth and  my 'unconscious' influences.
~~~
Enjoy in NaTuRe, by the woods, trees, a river, mountains, rainbows, 
star-filled skies, in echoing valleys, by the beach, or at least outside. 
There is a reason why they call it called "The Great OutDooRs" guys!

YeS~I! 

IRiE Greetings to ALL 'ViSioNaRy' ProDuCeRS, 
MuSiCiaNs and 'Sound Healers' worldwide. 

Thanks for sharing your Creative Works and 'Jms' 
with the rest us in this cyber^space community.
 
On another, relevant, note, 
thanks {also] to all who 'scoop the scene like a submarine', 
searching for the future directions of urban music; 
even those in the guise of "pirate" DJs, producers 
and/or streamline^hackers (!!), whose 'PaTH', 
one way or another, led them to this Latin^based realm 
& its contribution to digital ART & MuSiC in the GLOBAL village. 

To ONE and ALL,
CeLeBRaTe LiFe inna the ETERNAL PRESENT!!

Incienso
