I love how the classic reggae is backdropped by the dreamy/mystical atmo work... a great cultural subsection reflection within this piece!

Wurling sound.  Love that organ sound. Plus who goes wrong doing the reggae groove. Awesome collab guys!

really like the ethereal lee scratch perry feel on this track

amico mio!!!! Fate brillare il cielo come le stelle con questo reggae!!!

sooooooo cool! you guys really have a good handle on the dub style, something I want to try to get into more too. (wurly is my preferred electric piano of choice too! the imagse actually looks to me like those Whirling Dervish Turkish dancers. too cool.

Man, what a great track. Perfect for my sunday evening session. Fantastic  work Josh friend! By the way: I want to own anytime in my life a wurlitzer jukebox 😎

Reggae And Island Vibes

Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US. These compositions weren't written with this subject matter in mind, full-disclosure, but the album has now been named in response to this issue and will be dedicated to educators, and to truth, which will win in the end despite efforts to silence it.

Hesitation Blues may have been the first twelve-bar blues to be known across the US South, circulating in oral tradition for years – perhaps decades – before it was written down, mostly in versions that were far too dirty to be printed or recorded. Robert Winslow Gordon and Hubert Canfield both collected multiple versions in the 1920s, and Jelly Roll Morton recalled one for Alan Lomax that he’d apparently heard in New Orleans around the turn of the century. 

The Hesitation Blues has since been cleaned up and done by various artists in every genera. However it originated in burlesque and other more phonographic musical forms of the underworld preformed for patrons in juke joints, brothels and speak-easy clubs by early bluesmen. Most versions seem to have included verses in the same basic pattern:

I ain’t no butcher, no butcher’s son,
But I can cut your meat until the butcher comes.

I ain’t no milkman, no milkman’s son,
But I can pull your titties till the milkman comes.

I ain’t no sergeant, no sergeant’s son,
But I can handle your privates till the sergeant comes…

…and so on, as well as such straightforwardly descriptive verses as, from Canfield’s collection:

A fist full of teats, and a mouth full of tongue,
Takes a long peckered daddy to make his baby come.

Only the BEST for you all!

This is the next in a line of heavy dub songs that Tez and I are releasing. We, or rather Tez, figured out how to create really authentic riddims. So now, it's a bonanza! I really like working with Tez. He's very capable and has excellent musical taste. He is also a certified wizard on the mixing deck. In this song, you'll hear me play bass and organ. You'll hear him play guitar and like I said, the riddim. He also produced it as mixed it. We hope you like it! 

Wurlitzer Dub (with Llanpsych)

This started with Eddy sending me the bass and rhythm guitar tracks set to a click, which I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around better l because it's got so much feeling. Then I added a riddim that Tez (Llanpsych) created. Then I added the organ and the intro guitar and the outro guitar and the vocals. Then I sent it to Tez, who came up with the fill guitar during the verses. This was truly a collaborative effort between three guys who share very similar musical sensibilities. We hope you enjoy the result. You can check out a similar version on Tez's page that's slightly different, but equally as good.

Chroma Dub (free download) Ft. Lioness Pinky🇯🇲

This song started with Terry sending Tez a really cool, unique beat. Tez then added some killer guitar to it and sent it to me. I added bass, organ, and synth to it. Tez produced it and mixed it, which was quite a task with this one, I believe. he always does such an amazing job of balancing everything, he's my go-to producer and engineer. Although, I have to say, there are many folks out there with great talent with whom I've worked, also. This is my first collaboration with Terry, but we have another in the works at the moment, too. I'm excited to keep making music with him, as well. He has a great sense of musical vision, and is fun and easy to work with, too. We hope you like our first collective psychedelic experiment.

Earth and Sky (with Tea R. Sea and Llanpsych)

This is a song that originated with Eddy, who sent it to Tez and me to spice up. His original stems were guitar and organ. Tez added the riddim and a rhythm guitar track, as well as produced and mixed the whole thing. To that, I added the bass and some electric piano. I really enjoy working with nutty if these guys a lot! They both have such a great sense of authentic dub. I always really enjoy listening to what we come up with together. I hope you do, too.

Do you believe in natural?
Lets frolic to the shack at the top of the hill
I know a merchant who has it all
Deep fried, big or small, nug or ball, we can leave with a haul
Why can't it be this easy?
Enchanted brain craving extra cheesy

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

Experimental, experiential composer, producer, recording artist, singer/songwriter, and percussion enthusiast. 
  
We create music using a fusion of genres, primarily using Logic Pro X and updated versions, our MIDI Controller Keyboard, as well as live world instruments, (mostly percussion,) often blending musical styles or influences from our world traveling days… whether our singer/songwriter material with lyrics… or our meditative/emotive instrumentals. We also prefer to produce most of our music in 432Hz range frequency, not 440Hz, which is known for disharmonization, (feel free to search "studies of the affects/effects of music/frequencies/sound on cells…" and “dive into” that “rabbit hole” as deeply as you wish, lol.) 

For appropriately compensating us: Our PRO is BMI.  Rainier Daze (Composer/Writer) IPI# is 01060351404. Our Rainier Daze Music (Publishing) IPI# is 01111187209. Remember to professionally respect those who create the music speaking to you and that it's a business we invest time and money into creating what you appreciate.

PLEASE... DO NOT SEND US UNSOLICITED SONGS OR PLAYLISTS!!! We no longer respond to those emails… and will mark/report those profiles as SPAM and block repeat offenders. We are not looking for collaborations with other singer/songwriters, artists, producers, etc. We also do not independently publish, promote, or distribute the music of or for others, nor do we have music industry connections or ties within it. Please, only send music to music professionals who've requested you to do so... that's the number ONE rule in becoming a music professional... respect everyone's time. Research the people you want to connect with, the genre you work within, etc. Participate in open mics and local performances to connect with folks in your local area, as it's a great way to obtain feedback, learn, and grow... as well as feel supported in the right environment. Check around and “feel things out” and you'll find a niche where who you are created to BE... fits! Sometimes it takes time and trial and error; but, you'll get there by continuing to take forward steps. We thank you for spending any time within our music and/or our website and blogs; because... we create them for you!

In 2023, primarily focused on creating and producing the songs for our upcoming first album for a 2024 release and our https://channeltherain.com website spiritual enlightenment journey through music and essential oils. We appreciate your patience as we continue diving more deeply into pursuing our lifelong dreams and goals... building a solid foundation as we grow towards our five year plan, dependent on "the evolution of life on earth," of course. :) Thank you for granting us the space to honor who we are created to BE, and for our most loyal early website series followers for supporting us and for giving us your feedback and requests, as well as those who've attended the open mic nights we've participated in singing/playing our part, etc. We are so very Grateful! Thank you!

Please also understand we will delete likes and/or comments from those not showing in our analytics as having actually listened to our music tracks... and those who are marketing and/or un-organic promotional entities, etc. will be reported as spam and blocked... as our way of trying to have more authentic analytics. We also report those of you who create multiple profiles and have requested advised SC administration to please go to verified only profiles. We are actively doing our part to create the changes we want to see within the music community and profession. Gamers need to get a life and go to actual games to "get their fix" or "kicks." Do something more meaningful with your lives versus needing to "control others," by inserting yourselves into their lives, rather than leading authentically full-filling and rewarding ones where you are uplifting the world and humanity... and contributing to growth and learning... for, with, and of the Self and other BEings. Otherwise, perhaps decipher why you're so disconnected from the Self and others and need to meddle in the lives of others, rather than fully authentically LIVING into all YOU are created to BE... by focusing on YOU, YOUR life, YOUR future, YOUR contributions to the world. 
Manipulating others and trying to force YOUR goals for THEIR lives upon them is NOT healthy, as evidenced by the way the US sanctioned "education" systems have largely failed to teach facts versus: maligned and fake history, medicine and pharmacology claiming it was or had been anything close to resembling "health care;" sciences in general (especially with regard to neurological, chemical, and biological agents and weaponry under the guise and supposition of war...) while mass farming, the medical and pharmaceutical industries, and protective agencies funded with US taxpayer dollars have used and continue to use those same "findings" or "developments" or "discoveries" and "agents or compounds..." on their own soldiers, their own civilian general populations... and with Covid 19... now, the world's population... as the greatest measure of "controlling the masses." This by increasing judgment against those who've dared and actively chosen to more extensively read and engage in thousands and hundreds of thousands of conversations with everyday folks, as well as those within the aforementioned agencies and entities who've dared to speak the truths about what they've done, learned, and KNOW from within them. These are folks who dare to speak up for what's true and right... despite some of them becoming flagged to be strip-searched every single time they fly, by government agencies and entities who (despite planting the public ideology of them being "conspiracy theorists," rather than the whistle-blowers,) KNOW these people HAVE evidence and continue to travel the world sharing it with those who are open-minded, open-hearted enough to listen to FACTS beyond the brainwashing and limited mindsets of the majority who'd rather "remain asleep" or hold ourselves accountable for our own complacency, complicit-ness, in perpetuating these toxic agendas and behaviors... rather than treating them as the domestic terrorism crimes they are. If these things have persisted, perhaps it's time to listen to why they are still slapping us in the face, rather than burying our heads... believing everything those "in charge" would have us believe. Even Christianity is founded on archaic, patriarchal, control which let out over 100 tablets/books... because it didn't "suit their agenda." It's how generations were conned into building churches and funding their idolic maintenance, when Jesus allegedly said "give up everything and follow me..." (whilst loving a prostitute... oh ye "Christians" who judge "certain occupations...") and attended a Jewish temple. Yet, many of us were conned into worshiping a caucasian Jesus... as if He were born in Bethlehem Pa, rather than in the Middle East! It's time we read more and listen and turn off sanctioned "news" sources and sanctioned only education and resources... and dig a little deeper for truths.
 
"Surrender" and "One Can Dream" were both produced by Dan Laureano... whose work and additional information can be found at www.Mixedbydan.com or on IG @mixxedbydan
