DistroKid Wheel of Playlist

This song is about an unhealthy involvement with someone and trying to understand if there’s a deeper reason or purpose to continue experiencing them or not.

Black Door

PAI VOX

I met a guy named James down at the local bait shop. He was gearing up to do some fishing from the banks of the river as people do here. I asked him what he was going for. "Flathead," he replied, as he directed me to a photo on the wall. It was taken at night with a flash, and James in the photo, but you wouldn't know it. He was mostly hidden from head to toe by the 5 foot monster he struggled to hold for the camera.  I feigned interest in taking up such a hobby, but who was I kidding. For me, knowing something like that lurked in the river is the stuff of nightmares.

From atop the levee I can see him from time to time down there planted in the sandy banks, in his chair and a cooler by his side.

Well, infinitely random doesn't work for most of us, so here's a very intentional tune I hope you enjoy.

Willows Whispered This Gentle Breeze

TWIN FLAME (Prod. 3WTHID)

There’s something dangerous about you.
Something magnetic — impossible to look away from.

“You Look Like Trouble” is a musical journey through rhythm, tension, and desire — where emotional vocals meet a hypnotic house groove.

It’s that late-night moment when the lights go down, and the dance floor moves as one.
The bassline tells a story that can’t be stopped.
For those who seek more than just sound — for those chasing emotion, energy, and a vibe that lingers long after the last beat.

Produced by DJ ARTFULL, blending elements of house, electro, and afro house into a sound that flows between mood and club energy.
Press play… and let the trouble begin. 

ARTFULL - You Look Like Trouble

Established 2007. All music on this and any jazzCittern site is 100% human composed and handmade by real live musicians. Thanks for listening!

We like to build things and watch them run. We love music, Ambient to Epic, Meditative to Cinematic... We enjoy building backing tracks for enhanced live performance... And we love to discuss NST and fifths tuning.... 

In 2007 I Googled every instrument under the sun, and saw there is a 'jazz' usage of just about every instrument. Even jazz bagpipes. Back then somebody tabulated the term "jazz" and its association with musical instruments, and just about everything was represented - But NO CITTERN.

And that year jazzCittern was born.

(What's a jazzCittern? The 10-string long-scale bouzouki is really the happy offspring of a Mandocello and a Bouzouki. This instrument, when tuned CGDAE, becomes an extraordinary jazz instrument - the extra course illustrates the wonderful symmetries available in fifths tuning. Chord building and scale visualization is a breeze.)

Virtually and musically yours,

CS
