Featuring Sandy Solis and Benjamin Jacobson on vocals with backgrounds by Audrey Rangel. All other sounds by Joseph Cruz. Part of an upcoming project that is recorded almost entirely with cell phones or other portable devices. No studio equipment.

Messenger (Sandy Solis with Ben Jacobson)

A vibrant carefree sounding track with a spoken word adaptation of an article written by Andrea Hughes for the Concordian during April 2020, that takes on a new form with a more sinister underbelly. It is meant to be listened to before “The Messenger”, and features the great orator, Pastor “OJ” Ollis Mozon.

A year in the life (featuring Ollis “OJ” Mozon)

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the ever changing and sweeping amount of overloaded information in the world today??Another moody track with spoken word. Inspired by a voice memo my daughter (Abigail) put on my phone years ago, and an Instagram post by none other than the brilliant producer Stro Elliot. (I attempted to get his permission back last year…so we will see how long this stays up).

Swept under (featuring Abigail and Stro Elliott)

A real short track that is almost completely the work of Greg Stone (again a rip from an Instagram post, but this time I actually know the person) who is playing the main synth. Framed with some electronic drums, bells, and the simple vocal line “all you wanna do is break even”.

Break Even

Have you ever known someone that just oblivious to the suffering they cause around them? ￼ that is the primary idea of this song whose title “brutality” is trying to hold the mirror up to. We all can be that person at times, and be so brutal with careless words and actions. However there is a better way. This track is meant to be listened to right after “Swept Under”, but it’s fine as a stand alone also.￼
