oh this is a great idea and song...heading to the Hampton Inn today...let's hope its better than that BW...nice job on the phone recording

Hi Joe! Wow! What a dump! Best Westerns really suck bro! I would have lost it in about a minute, that's kind of disgusting! Trying to save a buck today is guaranteeing a bad experience! What are you going to do today? Take care Joe!👍😎✌🏼

Ha! Ha! Best Western going dowhill fast? I love the weary traveller vocal! Two words "Hotel Trivago"

sounds like you stayed at an "average western" at best.  :)

This Garage Band but me located not far from Liverpool!

The first written for my upcoming Time Machine EP with similar music to Enigma and Time Machine, the next track I composed after Drift.

Electro Chill Nu Jazz at 76 bpm

………………………………
WORDS that I wrote upon listening to a pre-production mix but they don’t necessarily fit the music. Yet.

Oh
Drift away safely with your head up in the clouds
Yeah drift
Where luscious dreams of a beautiful life are allowed 
Encouraging 
Cosmic lullaby 
Rocking gently 
until you sigh

Drift
Later maybe?
No, commit, baby
Drift drift drift drift 
Drift until your mind shifts 

Nothing can steal your moment 
Remember to keep faith 
letting go to drift will show it 
Wise words sayeth 
As you believe — so go with it
That is how to achieve
Drift 
To know it
Drift 
Go with it 
Drift
Let yourself flow 
Safe in the

ARTIST’S NOTE: 
I composed Drift one afternoon in May when I was literally adrift in disappointment, feeling low, uninspired, and fatigued. Empty. How could I create when I was so low? And a thought rang back answering like a bell  — just show up!

All I had to do, my inner voice told me, was show up, put your fingers on the keyboard for a moment. And I did, using the laptop’s built-in MIDI, selecting a VST called Cinema Strings, instinctively I hit an F6 chord — I have an affinity with the key of F because, as a student, I played French Horn, an F instrument. So I’m pressing the keys, and by a slow count of eight of the metronome’s clicks — bam! The music started playing in my head as if already written. I raced to unravel it in threads of melodies, searching for keys that matched what I was hearing in my mind’s ears.

The lesson for me as an artist is to remember to keep faith despite how I might feel. Because the music is waiting for a humble vessel. Just show up.

Another track from my upcoming Time Machine EP with music similar to Hidden Room and Time Machine

Electro Chill perhaps Nu Jazz (a brass, woodwind solo could push it more in the jazz direction, so maybe a future remix)

ARTIST NOTE: I’m one of those people who has developed a high tolerance for uncertainty, instability I endured in childhood, and because of it, I learned with courage and loving support to harness uncertainty into inspiration, a drive to create.

For me, the unknown is an invitation, as if life has offered me blank canvases upon which to paint. Or a keyboard and computer upon which to express sounds that I hear in my head and heart. That for me, is a Benevolent Enigma, the awesome mystery of why and how something springs forth from what seems like nothing — how beauty emerges out of a barren void  like a rose growing out of a concrete sidewalk.

Enigma

As I'd mentioned in the other version of this track, I sent some stems over to @enigmacurry and he produced to amazing mixes. I really wanted to release both of them even though this one is ridiculously long, I found Ryan's creative iterations and evolutions of the source material to be super fascinating on here.

Check out version B here:

ECOLOGY 😮-😡😡😡

EVERY TREE CUT DOWN OR DELIBERATELY PRUNED (so that it falls on its own later...) GREATLY AMPLIFIES GLOBAL WARMING, THE CAUSES OF WHICH ARE VERY MULTIPLE, PRIMARILY THE ACTIVITY OF THE SUN.
YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELVES THAT THOSE WHO GOVERN US ARE NOT THE LAST TO GIVE THEIR AGREEMENT TO THIS DESTRUCTIVE MASSACRE... THIS HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY VERIFIABLE AND VISIBLE ON THE SEASIDE FOR MANY YEARS!!! A REAL SCANDAL!
THERE IS NO SURVEILLANCE, NO FINES, JUST LAXITY, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.
THIS INTENSIVE AND ORGANIZED DISAPPEARANCE OF TREES HAS MANY HARMFUL CONSEQUENCES FOR LIVING THINGS AND THE PLANET, UNDENIABLY ALTERING THE CLIMATE. 

ÉCOLOGIE 😮-😡😡😡

CHAQUE ARBRE COUPÉ OU TAILLÉ DÉLIBÉRÉMENT (pour qu'il tombe tout seul plus tard...) AMPLIFIE CONSIDÉRABLEMENT LE RÉCHAUFFEMENT CLIMATIQUE, DONT LES CAUSES SONT MULTIPLES, EN PREMIER LIEU L'ACTIVITÉ DU SOLEIL.
VOUS POUVEZ CONSTATER QUE CEUX QUI NOUS GOUVERNENT NE SONT PAS LES DERNIERS À DONNER LEUR ACCORD À CE MASSACRE DESTRUCTEUR... CELA EST PARTICULIÈREMENT VÉRIFIABLE ET VISIBLE SUR LES BORDS DE MER DEPUIS DE NOMBREUSES ANNÉES !!! UN VÉRITABLE SCANDALE !
IL N'Y A AUCUNE SURVEILLANCE, AUCUNE AMENDE, JUSTE DU LAXISME, COMME TOUT LE RESTE.
CETTE DISPARITION INTENSIVE ET ORGANISÉE DES ARBRES A DE NOMBREUSES CONSÉQUENCES NÉFASTES POUR LES ÊTRES VIVANTS ET LA PLANÈTE, MODIFIANT INDÉNIABLEMENT LE CLIMAT.

Everything

I was on a Virginia recently (DC and Virginia Beach were great) and instead of writing an online review, I was compelled to write a musical review of a less than stellar experience I had at a hotel. Recorded on my iPhone using GarageBand with the vocal song using the basic iPhone earbuds.
I stepped into the hotel. I noticed an unpleasant smell. It was a combination of old cigarettes and mildew. 
I went into my room. I could feel a sense of doom. As I took off my shoes and socks and my bare feet touched the grimy floor. 
Things are not the best at the Best Western, they’re going downhill fast, and I’m trying to pretend the glass is half full. I’m trying really hard to have a nice stay at this hotel. I’m trying not to lose my cool.
There was a peloton in the gym, so I sat on it and tried to login, but the bike wouldn’t work because the Wi-Fi wasn’t connected .
I went back to my room for a shower, and it was like I had a special superpower because when I reached for the handle to turn on the water, it came off in my hand .
Sometimes you can have a little bit of bad luck when you book a cheap room and try to save a buck. You can get angry and sit around and stew or you can break out into a song and write a musical review.

A Musical Hotel Review (GarageBand)

lyrics

Miami is calling my name
My summer mind, my summer brain
Drinks are on me
Step into the sea

Neon Daze 
Neon Daze
Neon Daze
Neon Daze

Bartender make me a drink
One that makes me forget how to think
white sands all around
I love this neon town

Neon daze
Neon Daze
Neon Daze
Neon Daze

neon daze

a little snippet from the other night. Somewhat contrasting the extreme noise of our last SC post : ) Still making use of this wonderful space and Grand Piano, no doubt we will get asked to leave at some stage, but until then happy days : )

Kirby/Ward  Organ Room Jam # 27

'ghetto falsetto' with Harmful if Followed and sixstring mac 

Isaac and the apple:
Mac: music, lyrics and vocals
Harmful/Shane: lyrics, vocals, backups 

one man verity show:
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, backups, art 

Well the night’s effervescent and I’m on fire
Full of anti depressants to blunt my ire
Well aware of the presence of my desire
It feels very pleasant as I get higher
And I’m clad in a fashion to catch the eye
So why does everyone ignore me as I walk by
It would be a different story for a different guy
But I’ll never find the glory unless I try
So why do I lie so low 
Why don’t I let them know
Let them bask in the glow
Of my ghetto falsetto 

Most are fucked up from the drugs they take,
and don't care to interrupt all the love I make,
but I can't quite erupt so, I'll simply fake,
and make believe
that I have climaxed, because all the noise
that keeps me far from relaxed and trapped in the void, 
I've always had a clean nose but perhaps I'll toy 
with singing in falsetto. 

These streets are full of cackles and high pitched screams
A ghetto manifesto haunting my dreams
Monotone narration to a story I know
A baritone ending won’t leave me alone
I’m not crazy it’s the world around me
I’ll deal with the shit eventually 
Then get past the truth I know
That I’m too low for ghetto falsetto 

But it don’t mater how high or how low 
Unless you mean it nobody will know
All you need is the seed and the get go
Let go of the ghetto falsetto

ghetto falsetto (with Harmful if Followed and sixstring mac)

DAW Version
(Two runs of Acoustic and Vocal done simultaneously give us the spine here)

In my opinion when producing your recorded music maybe think of live playability. I feel it's a more authentic reflection of your abilities keeping that in the back of your mind when adding something. I always try and make it possible to express and that will allow TBD to become a great live act in the future as well as the studio work it is so far. All I need to find is the souls to do it with now 💪🏽🧬🎶

We need to save music with passion

The first letter made a page at 09:01 and the raw song got uploaded at 09:35. USE your instinct! Don't have a guess handed to you by the digital devil or evolution will take your sorry filled weak  ass genetics!

I don't know about you but it hurts me very deeply to see the indifference people are starting to show music with thoughtlessness. It is the job of true artists to passionately defend and spell out what makes musical character and how it moulds our culture and our individuality. Otherwise we are complicit in allowing a dystopian future unfold. FUCK THAT

I'll only start making more and more powerful passionate songs about this until people realise what stands to be killed! Enjoy your honey moon period I have more musical bombs then any program can ever manufacture. We have our RAW now here's the DAW.

FUCK INDIFFERENCE. Be real and be LOVE and we are all going to be fine

Further thoughts...
I talk about evolution a lot in music. One because we all need to tune into it properly in my pea head opinion. Also, music I believe is tied to our behavioral and cultural evolution more then we realise I think. A very small percentage of humans connect to scientists that explain our reality properly so hence don't get the fruits of those deliveries in an acceptable amount of detail. The very large majority of us do connect to music so I believe this right here is the best portal to connect people to good ideas about real life, the human condition, Earth and the Universe. That is maybe the most important reason we have to fight for it to not lose its soul because no matter creed or level of ego... At some level we generally keep the door open to music. It is the universal sender of love when conversation stops working. It needs to be protected by us all and that absolutley includes people who are thoughtlessly embracing the computer and becoming it's tool instead of the other way around. It's lmiting their skill development because of that or if you are just taking advantage of the status quo you are limiting the thoughts of young people trying their best so please think properly about it all 🙏🏽🫡🔆🤍

The Poem

So, you've invaded my world
You started this fight
Meet adamantium pearl
You won't crush me and music will win
Kids get inspired by character from within
This you can't clone even by force
'Cause this light will shine brighter everyone's course
Meet musical passion
Tears from the sun
Meet love you can't make with one/zero fun
Meet musical heart with wonderous words
Meet the deepest soul ahead of the curve
These tears are floods
Tanks of infinite force
To spell out this world giving spirit as source
I'll NEVER give up this musical WAR
You'll need to end me to allow you score
You can keep trying
I'll just always upgrade
The newer the kids...
The stronger I'll save
I pledge my life to fight for music
True character teaches evolution
We've fused it
Survival of fittest artists today
Will pave the way for creators to have more new say
Save the day and save yourselves
Grind those years to betterment elves
I am Thor for your digital drivel
You insult our culture so watch new civil
This hammer will beat it into your souls
We deliver this light by musical scroll
This is no dead sea
Love from me to you
Declare WAR for the soul of music!
I do!

Who's there? It's WAR

It's Peace

Stop The Train

A very old one! I didn't have a loop pedal, so used my trusted Behringer delay unit on very long repeats/feedback settings to create layers and layers of sounds, drones, melody,... to create this wall of sound - with some chaos in the middle!
