Love the oriental feel combined with a bit of hard rocking.


A Tune by
ThePhaige and Jaime J Ross
**********************************************
This song began when Gary decided to get his acoustic out for a bit. He sent me a snippet that was acoustic and drums and it was SO cool…it was a bit "ambient psychedelic"…trippy in the best of ways!!…he told me what the BPM was in case I was so inspired and wished to add myself. Well, I'm always inspired by Gary's music…so, I sat down at the piano with the BPM that he had shared with me and waited to see if anything would come out of me.  Two piano melodies did find me…one "pretty/gentle" one and one "dramatic/edgy" one…the first melody turned into the intro…the other melody you can hear throughout the piece…either as piano or as other instruments…Gary does the coolest things with the Midi I send him…it doesn't "have to" stay piano..it can become anything…and, it normally does :)

Gary, then added to this piece…section after section…layer after layer. That's pretty much how we work.  There is really never any preconceived "structure"…we just do whatever we want…and let the song create itself.  Gary placed my piano pieces where they worked the best and then began to create with and all around them.  Not only with that beautiful acoustic of his…but, also with those electric guitars that I love SO much!!  What we ended up with was quite a journey into our Head Space…a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a whole lotta fun :)

As always, the creation process with Gary was so much fun and so fulfilling to me.  I find his musical soul/sensibilities to be completely unique and totally awesome!!  He always invites me along for the coolest musical rides and I can't thank him enough!!…to me, this piece feels so alive…and almost 3 dimensional…with different melodies and sounds coming to the forefront when you least expect them to.  Also, you may hear/notice a cool new bass tone in this piece…a new bass for the Phaige guitar family…and, boy is she ever a beauty!

We do hope you enjoy!
Blessings and peace!

Permeate the Silence ~ One and Other
FEAT: Jaime J Ross Piano

She said:  this tune started, as most of our tunes do, with a really cool groove that Gary came up with..his musical uniqueness, again, blows me away.....he played around with some synths and what (to me) sounds like strings...but, i'm still not sure what that is...lol...it set the tone/stage for what was to come...he added his signature most awesome guitars that i love so much and then asked me if i wanted to add some piano...unfortunately, due to my crazy life schedule right now and some issues i'm having with my hand...i'm not able to play the piano like i used to or like i like to...fortunately, i have saved some snippets from over the years...and a few of those snippets have found their way into this tune...and, i feel...they fit perfectly :)   I have to thank Gary for everything he does to make our tunes sound so good...from all of the instruments/layers he adds...to the flowing/vocal lines...to the production...he loves what he does...and he does it so well...i wish i had more time to create...and more time to reciprocate musical love with all of you...i miss you all...and hope that all of the beautiful  melodies are still flowing freely from your hearts :)

He Said:Jaime was too busy to write a new piano piece on the spot, so she went through some past work she did and sent it over and I think you will be blown away with the organic groove she played here... its aggressive and effectual, but also has this delicateness. I try to capture her piano in such a way that never takes you away from knowing right away , its Jaime. In this track she brought an almost old west style, player piano vibe, like you might hear in a saloon in the old western US.  Just gorgeous I felt.  

I enjoyed weaving in and around with the guitar. I also love the vocal she was able to record for this, not a lyrical song but more the ambient vocal harmony thing we like doing together... 

As for the mix I was going for an almost lo fi opening that might sound like its in a tube with some outliers of sound poking out to the wider field of sound....then we move into a more robust orchestra/tion section as it then slips into a kind of rock instrumental guitar piece where the mix becomes wider , with more pressure from the bass etc...and hopefully more spread out... once we "permeate" we then slip into Jaimes piano work with vocal ambient touches. She really shines with her harmonies I do believe. Catered more to a headphone type experience with a lot of phasing and layers etc... I dont think there are phasing issues per say but it was meant for the phones :) I also have a few section with some heavy "tension and release" kind of where things nearly go off tune and then get uncomfortable and then slip into tune for the release... I hope it works out :)

 I really like how the track came out and I hope those who are maybe reading this like it also :) thanks ahead :)  Gary

Frei Wie Kinder - Rock Flexible
**********************************************
Weich, Glatt und Rein
Heut Wellig, Alt und arg Zerschunden
Du warst doch einst so Fein
brav trägst Du die Narben deiner Wunden

Grau, Blass und Fad’
Versteckst was Du nicht mehr zeigen magst
Gedeckt sind Deine Farben
Aus Träumen wurde Kraterland

Flieh, flieh, 
flieg mit mir davon …
Lass uns noch mal wie Kinder sein
Verdräng’ den Schmerz, 
kein Leiden hält uns auf! 
Lass uns frei wie Kinder weinen!

Du glaubst Du bist am Ende
Für Neues ist’s schon viel zu spät
Du meinst das war’s gewesen
Im Einerlei Deiner Tage hast Du alles schon erlebt

Flieh, flieh, 
flieg mit mir davon …
Lass uns noch mal wie Kinder sein
Verdräng’ den Schmerz, 
kein Leiden hält uns auf! 
Lass uns frei wie Kinder weinen!

**********************************************
>> English Google Translation:

Soft, smooth and pure
Today Wellig, Old and bad scratched
You were once so fine
good you carry the scars of your wounds

Gray, pale and cool '
Hide what you do not want to show anymore
Covered are your colors
Dreams became crater land

Flee, flee,
fly away with me ...
Let's be like children again
Repress the pain,
no suffering stops us!
Let us cry like children!

You think you are in the end
It's too late for something new
You mean that's it
In one of your days you have already experienced everything

Flee, flee,
fly away with me ...
Let's be like children again
Repress the pain,
no suffering stops us!
Let us cry like children!

Step right on up

Step right on in
C
Here comes the circus

The media spins

The ringmaster tells us
What all we should know
Tickets are free
For this ambiguous show

F
The circus performers
C
They don't need a script
G
They are who they are
D
Til the cameras flip
They continually feed us
Until we are filled
Until we can't move
And our bodies are stilled

Then they become
What they want us to see
The worst of the best
Is all they will be

Drama unfolds
They must try to chase it
For once they report it
You cannot erase it

a
Then they pack up the tent
C
And off they will go
G
The show must go on
D 
That's all that they know

STREAM ENTRY (by Sar Araion)

I thought I had it covered.
Then I got a reflection of you.
Who could you be?
when I am What ::
- in my stream entry,
I know what I will die for.

I seem to come through, everything,
but you remain behind me.
I can’t turn back, or I’ll lose Him ::
the impeccable side of me …
the brighter, the purity …
Deep, in the stream entry ….

If only! - that’s the Way :: to go …
If only in the stream entry.

I’m in it, the assembly
of a much greater loveliness;
at morning, and then to praise,
that light given truce,
and the specialness of moments,
if they are met right, yes,
they must be met right:
I know that I know
that I nothing do know,
only occasionally …
That’s right!
Only occasionally …

Sitting next
to the Great Man ::
That is most interesting,
being, between Him :: and me(!)
Him saying: «Hearers!
Listen closely, listen
from afar, to Him ::
that works» …
In the aftermath
of epiphanies: Oh’ glory!
Nothing is more
spectacular, than true paradoxes.
Splitting the unsplittable!
Right, within all corners …

Production Info:
I saw and heard the nice Open Collab version of Sar's song and asked him if I can get the single tracks as wave. 
https://soundcloud.com/sararaion/stream-entry-open-collab
I used Melodyne to get MIDI from the piano track and created 3 synth tracks and the bell type of sound with that, I kept the piano as well, but not over the whole song. Drums are Logics Drummer but I used the 16-track version to be allowed to treat each part individually. Then I added Yamaha Bass and several acoustic and electric guitars. The song was produced in Logic Pro 10 with loads of plugins from Waves, Apple, FabFilter and Plugin Alliance.
All thanks are going to Sar for his very good Open Collab template and for allowing me to add something to his magic! Cheers!

Old song l wrote, l played everything. Sung in Bahasa Indonesian.

SELANCAR BABY

I am just like you. Finding my way along…sharing my musical self with anyone who wishes to listen…and continuing to enjoy the musical creation process. To me…there is nothing cooler than listening to a song that didn't exist before you created it. 

I play piano…by ear…no lessons…no rules. I just play what comes.  I love to find simple melodies and listen to them grow…

I enjoy singing…and I thank all of the amazing artists on the Cloud that have written music for me to sing to.

I am mostly known for my lyrics. I am a writer. It's taken me 42 years to say that…but, that's who I really am. I am a lover of words and the way they can be manipulated to tell a story. The simpler the better…the more relatable the better. I have written many, many lyrics for Stefan (Rock Flexible) who has created some pretty awesome musical worlds for these lyrics to live in. 

That is who I am…

Good luck as you continue on with your own personal musical journey…
