Woah, cool sounds right out of the gate and top notch production all the way thru…

Super cool and dark atmosphere. And yes, you are right, everything starts vibrating. Very nice. Brilliant work, Jeffrey.🙏💛

i like the theme and i hope much "meaned" guys will hear this

Hey Jeff man, this is captivating. Love the syncopation with the main synth and the implied beat. The vocal samples work really well in giving it a depth of texture, too. Excellent work here, my friend!

Une île est une chanson française écrite par Serge Lama
Musique: Yves Gilbert
(C) 1969 by Sidonie et Éditions Serge Lama 

Refrain / chorus
 Une île entre le ciel et l'eau
Une île sans hommes ni bateaux,
Inculte, un peu comme une insulte,
Sauvage, sans espoir de voyage,
Une île, une île
Entre le ciel et l'eau.
1 Ce serait là, face à la mer immense
Là, sans espoir d'espérance,
Tout seul face à ma destinée,
Plus seul qu'au coeur d'une forêt,
Ce serait là dans ma propre défaite
Tout seul sans espoir de conquête
Que je saurais enfin pourquoi
Je t'ai quittée, moi qui n'aime que toi.
R Une île comme une cible d'or
Tranquille comme un enfant qui dort,
Fidèle à en mourir pour elle,
Cruelle à force d'être belle;
Une île, une île
Comme un enfant qui dort.
2 Ce serait là, face à la mer immense
Là, pour venger mes vengeances,
Tout seul avec mes souvenirs,
Plus seul qu'au moment de mourir.
Ce serait là, au coeur de Sainte-Hélène,
Sans joie, sans amour et sans haine
Que je saurais enfin pourquoi
Je t'ai quittée, moi qui n'aime que toi.
R Une île entre le ciel et l'eau.
Une île sans hommes ni bateaux,
Inculte un peu comme une insulte,
Sauvage, sans espoir de voyage.
Une île, cette île, mon île
C'est toi.

46_ Unbeatable Together - released on 25 June 2023

Inclusion must be lived. Take an example from the Special Olympics! We are one world! #epic #dance #edm #funk #percussion

(produced with Music Maker JAM)

Unbeatable Together

I think this was the only cover tune we did back in my band days playing with my great friends Dyniss, Morris, and Alex. Here I take a turn at lead vocals with Dyniss on harmony. This is a ‘live’ version recorded in Dyniss’ studio (I believe in one take), though we performed it live on stage often.
Them wuz some good ol' times.

Dyniss Band members:
Dyniss - acoustic guitar, backing vocal
Mark - keyboard/accordion, lead vocal
Alex - 6 string fretless bass
Morris - Drums

Written by Lennon, McCartney

Live in the Studio

We Can Work It Out (cover; vocal mark)

Prompt : Explore new territory. Try a new instrument, gear, plug-in, scale, etc.

Tried the following new things :
1. Time in 13/8
2. Glitch sounds from a new library

Wondering if I should've tried them separately though since it's hard to hear where beats land through glitch chaos.

Weak Sixx (MPC Weekly Mission No 6)

Can a vintage computer voice program be used to "sing" a song? I don't know, but I set my mind to finding out, and this track is the result. 

Normally I avoid overwhelming listener's subwoofers with [EXCESSIVE SUBS], but for this track to "work" properly it just has to be. Why? Because I want your face to vibrate when you listen on speakers, and your brain to vibrate on headphones! So, if you want to play it in a club or on a  system with massive low-end, you might need to use a low-shelf or high pass filter.

If you listen hard, and have a bit of synesthesia, the ending fadeout tastes like metal.

APOPHENIC PATTERN NO 4

After a two year absence, a change is happening in the style of music I'm creating. More in the vein of "Trail of Sunshine", one of my last tracks before this one.

Harmless Fun

how do you gut someone?

you take a knife,
and you slit em from groin to sternum

and i don’t wanna be alone
that’s why you’re here by my side
you take it off as we go
my hand gripped around your thigh

i felt when you saw me
your eyes pierce right through
i wonder what you want
you said that you knew
you said that you understand
the things i went through
if i said i felt something
would you feel it too?

would you feel it too? (tiresss)

Lyrics:

I've got half a mind
to come apart sometimes 
like when you're tired
and bruised
when you feel like 
you ain't got nothin to lose

can you
let loose your blues
lock yourself in your room
and just try out
just cry out 
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy on me

People rarely try
with all their might
to lay a claim on fame
before they die
and that's me, too
I know you can see right through
why I'm here
shouting out my shame

So I'll lock myself in my room
and let loose with my blues
I'll cry out 
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy on me

Nobody sees me
Nobody hears me
and certainly nobody fears me
when I walk into a room
I'm like cellophane on the wind in the gloom
you can't see me 
but you can see right through

People so rarely try
with all their might
to rage
against the dying of the light
and even on the good nights 
they fight
and that's me too
I know you see right through me

So can you
lock me in my room 
so I can let loose with my blues
and leave me to cry out
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy on me
heaven have mercy on me
have mercy
on me

There are far too many people to thank, but I'm going to try: 

FIRST AND FOREMOST: 
Image-Line's FL Studio DAW
https://www.image-line.com/
https://soundcloud.com/fl-studio

I cannot begin to express how much this software helped me find my musical voice. (Image-line has not paid me anything for my endorsement.) Buy it once and get lifetime unlimited upgrades. I've used it since 1999 and since then, they've introduced dozens of new synths and effects I received for free. It just keeps on giving. I absolutely love FL Studio because of it's step sequencer core, beautiful interfaces, ease of use, robust help, versatility and incredible sound quality.
