**Presenting: Timewave Zero!** 🌟✨

From the visionary mind of Terence McKenna, Timewave Zero is not just a theory—it's a revolutionary concept that reveals the cyclical nature of time and the ebb and flow of novelty throughout history. But that's not all! We've got a treat for your ears as well as your mind.

**Featuring: JTSunrise's Rendition of "The Highwayman"** 🎸🌅

**Step into the world of "The Highwayman,"** a classic ballad originally penned by Jimmy Webb and immortalized by The Highwaymen—Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Now, experience it like never before with JTSunrise's soulful interpretation!

🌍 **Travel through Centuries** with the timeless tales of a highwayman, a sailor, a dam builder, and a starship pilot, all connected by the unbreakable thread of existence.

🎵 **Immerse Yourself in the Melodies** of JTSunrise's acoustic guitar and powerful vocals, bringing a fresh, contemporary touch to this legendary song.

**Why Timewave Zero?**
- **Understand Historical Patterns**: Discover how events resonate across time, revealing the hidden symmetries of history.
- **Embrace Novelty**: Learn how the peaks and troughs of the timewave can guide you to moments of profound change and innovation.
- **Enrich Your Mind and Spirit**: Dive deep into the philosophy of cyclical time and unlock the mysteries of the universe.

But wait, there's more! With JTSunrise's rendition of "The Highwayman," you're not just listening to music—you're experiencing a story that transcends time and space.

📜 **The Story Behind the Song**
- **Jimmy Webb's Vision**: Crafted in 1977, this ballad tells the intertwined stories of four lives across different eras.
- **The Highwaymen's Legacy**: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson brought these tales to life, creating a musical masterpiece that stands the test of time.
- **JTSunrise's Interpretation**: A modern twist on a classic, JTSunrise's version captures the essence of the original while adding his unique style.

But hold on, there's even more! Imagine the rich tapestry of "The Highwayman" through the lens of **String Theory** and its ten dimensions:

### The Ten Dimensions of String Theory in "The Highwayman"

1. **First Dimension (Length)**: The journey of the highwayman along the coach roads.
2. **Second Dimension (Height)**: The towering waves faced by the sailor.
3. **Third Dimension (Depth)**: The construction and eventual collapse of the dam by the builder.
4. **Fourth Dimension (Time)**: The continuity and reincarnation of the souls across eras.
5. **Fifth Dimension (Possible Worlds)**: Different historical paths where these lives might have taken different turns.
6. **Sixth Dimension (Folding of Possible Worlds)**: The intersection of their lives in an alternate reality where they coexist.
7. **Seventh Dimension (Infinite Possibilities)**: The myriad ways their stories could unfold across infinite timelines.
8. **Eighth Dimension (Alternate Laws of Physics)**: The starship pilot navigating through the vast cosmos, transcending the known laws of physics.
9. **Ninth Dimension (All Possible Universes)**: The countless universes where these characters live different lives, connected by the same essence.
10. **Tenth Dimension (Ultimate Universe)**: The final dimension where all possible universes and histories converge, the ultimate realization of Timewave Zero.

Pour tous les amis du monde § For all friends in the world.
  English translation after the French text
-------------------------------------------
L’amitié c’est nous,  autour d’un feu d’camp,  
Beuglant des chansons, on s’marait tout l’temps. 
Les guitares jouaient et nos voix s'envolaient
Souvenirs gravés de ces temps enchantés

 L'amitié, c'est nous, le monde à   refaire
Des blagues, des disputes, des rêves à l’envers
Au petit matin, les bouteilles vidées
Gueules enfarinées , les rêves sont envolés 

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
 nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
illumine le monde

L’amitié c’est nous avec ou sans enfants
Le boulot, la famille on s’voit moins souvent 
Dans  nos cœurs aimant, sont toujours vivant 
Nos  rires d’antan,  et nos vingt printemps 

L'amitié  c’est nous, avec des cheveux blancs
Une  histoire qui dure, à faire mentir le temps
Nos belles aventures , ont fait     nos destins,
Rires aux coins des yeux, témoins de nos chemins.                         

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
Nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
Illumine le monde

----------------- AUTO TRANSLATE 
Friendship is us, around a campfire,
Bellowing songs, we were always laughing.
The guitars were playing and our voices were soaring
Engraved memories of these enchanted times

Friendship is us, the world to be remade
Jokes, arguments, upside down dreams
In the early morning, the emptied bottles
Floury faces, dreams are gone

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
light up the world

Friendship is us with or without children
Work, family we see each other less often
In our loving hearts, are still alive
Our laughter of yesteryear, and our twenty springs

Friendship is us, with white hair
A story that lasts, to make time lie
Our beautiful adventures have made our destinies,
Laughter in the corners of our eyes, witnesses of our paths.

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
Our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
Light up the world

Lyrics:

Sometimes I ask to much of myself
It's like I'm not doing enough
Are those around me satisfied?
Maybe I'm to black in my mind..

Chorus:

If I do the best I can
What more can I do?
And if that's not good enough
I have nothing more to offer you..

Want to please those I love
They all need something from me
Not sure if I'm doing enough
But I don't want them to see

Chorus

I get a little tired sometimes
Need to hide and catch my breath
But I'm not hiding for a long time
My loved ones are on my mind..

Chorus

I can always try to improve
I still have so much to learn
But if I ask too much of myself
I go to black, brigdes will burn

Oh, If I do the best I can
What more can I do?
And if that's not good enough
I have nothing more to offer you..

The Best I Can

Emisarios   

La noche me encima queriendo desanimar.
la lluvia decide trayendo un tesoro
Es agua del cielo, me dijo prestá atención.
Sos hijo del suelo, sos savia, sos bendición.
hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos.
y a su corazon recibo igual.


El tiempo me envuelve, sumando me arrastra,
Mi alma y el cielo, son fuego que basta.
Son flama que grita, son guerra sin rendición,
son  furia del trueno, caida y resurrección.
Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos locos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

Waltz of Memories

„Towards the Dawn" from the album Tides of Melancholy is an emotional journey between darkness and light. The track captures the essence of sorrow and hope, unfolding in delicate yet powerful melodies. With a tender piano performance accompanied by a soft violin, the song takes the listener into a world of reflection and inner transformation.

In an atmosphere that is both contemplative and uplifting, the track symbolizes the transition from difficult moments to new possibilities. Melancholy blends with a hint of hope, as if the darkness is being pierced by the first rays of morning.

Perfect for fans of cinematic, ambient, and instrumental music, looking for a sound that is both profound and uplifting.

„Towards the Dawn“ aus dem Album Tides of Melancholy ist eine emotionale Reise zwischen Dunkelheit und Licht. Der Song fängt die Essenz von Trauer und Hoffnung ein und entfaltet sich in sanften, aber kraftvollen Melodien. Mit einem zarten Klavierspiel, das von einer weichen Violine begleitet wird, entführt der Track den Hörer in eine Welt der Reflexion und des inneren Wandels.

In einer Atmosphäre, die gleichermaßen nachdenklich und erhebend ist, symbolisiert der Song den Übergang von schwierigen Momenten hin zu neuen Möglichkeiten. Die Melancholie vermischt sich mit einem Hauch von Hoffnung, als würde die Dunkelheit von den ersten Strahlen des Morgens durchbrochen.

Tide Of Melancholy

Towards the Dawn

This song was inspired by a holiday on the coast. It starts in the style of ambient music and slowly turns into a classic piece of electronic music, inspired by the Berlin School

This work is also a collaboration with Marco Turrini following the previous work. We tried what happens if I play "MEMORIES OF THE PAST" which is one of Marco's masterpieces together with him.How I would add my interpretation to this work while making full use of Pink Floyd's flavor and Marco's honed sensibilities, that was my problem.A big fan of Pink Floyd can not defile the honor of Pink Floyd.  :)
I sincerely thank Marco Turrini again. Also, I would like to confess that I'd like to express my respects to the many musicians who gave me a lot of musical influences, involved in this work.
And thank you for listening to this work from the bottom of my heart.

The key:Gm , C

When I listened to the sound source of Marco's "MEMORIES OF THE PAST ... TRIBUTE", the first thing I came up with was  "Breathe" by Pink Floyd. It is one song in the album "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON". Then, on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (included in  "Wish You Were Here ")A famous performance came back in my mind. This may be better known.
Both are masterpieces. There are a lot of name performances left. I will introduce it below.
By listening to that songs again, why I remembered that songs, I could find something in common between them, and at the same time you will be noticing something completely different.
What Marco drew for this song is Marco's "Pink Floyd", not Pink Floyd itself. Indeed, I feel an exceptional talent to him. For example,I'd like you to check the chord progression of the second part of this song. Mr.Marco treats it so that it is not cleverly noticed immediately,You will notice that the essence of a famous song nicely included. There should be many people who understood by just listening.Therefore, the title of this song is "MEMORIES OF THE PAST ... TRIBUTE", I do not ask Marco, I imagine arbitrarily and enjoying it. :)

You can listen to the original sound at Marco's page.

MEMORIES OF THE PAST...TRIBUTE (with Marco Turrini Orch.)

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

@JTSunrise was born in Chicago, IL (the City of Blues) in 1968. JT grew up on a rural horse farm at Cuba Township near Fox River Grove, along the C&NW tracks, about an hour by train outside the city. Summer nights before the internet were for sleeping outside and watching stars, singing and playing guitar to his girlfriends, and hitching trains from his backyard. Anywhere JT went, he had his acoustic guitar slung around his back. JT also learned bass and banjo, and started a folk band in high school, playing house parties and school concerts and busking the commuter train station in Barrington, IL.

His teenage years took him around the world and to Tempe, AZ in 1987, (age 19) where he lived in the same building (and jammed often) with Spiral Stairs, a seminal guitarist who would later form the band Pavement. JT played acoustic sets at the legendary Sun Club. During this time, Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms (JT’s record store clerk friend) did his sound.

Seattle Music Era

Arriving in Seattle in 1992 with his Tempe barista girlfriend PJ (now wife), JT immersed himself in a city alive with music innovation. This was to become known as a time when Seattle bands reshaped the musical landscape. Amidst the scene, JTSunrise carved a niche and performed shows, blending busking music with the amplified Seattle sound, his Tempe-styled lyrical command, and the soul of Chicago street blues.

His performances became the background of Seattle’s music venues, from the intimate setting of **Art Bar** to the historic **OK Hotel**, where grunge legends made history. He captivated audiences at **Sit & Spin**, a venue combining a laundromat with a bar and live music, and found a true home at the **Lake Union Pub**, a legendary punk dive bar that embraced him as their own. Each chord, each lyric, carried the weight of personal experience.

Musical Influences and Style

JTSunrise draws from icons like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Billy Bragg, alongside bands he admired in Tempe such as Gin Blossoms and Dead Hot Workshop. The bands at the Sun Club and Long Wongs in Tempe, AZ shaped his sound and approach. These influences, coupled with the music scene in 1990s Seattle (including Elise Sauer, Obe-Wan Kenobe, and everyone to ever perform at the Lake Union Pub), molded his blend of folk, punk, country blues, and acoustic pop.

Signature Songs and Contributions

Among his many contributions to the musical landscape, a few songs stand out:
- **"Saint James Infirmary"**: A haunting rendition of the classic ballad.
- **"Biscuit Roller Blues"**: A soulful, gritty track that showcases blues roots.
- **"Kevin Song"**: A heartfelt, melodic piece that resonates deeply with listeners.
- **"Cure For Pain"**: A Morphine song that explores themes of struggle and redemption.
- **"Mama Tried"**: A tribute to Merle Haggard, blending acoustic blues with heartfelt emotion.
- **"O Danny Boy"**: A timeless ballad, rendered with sincerity and grace.
- **"Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain"**: A fusion of folk and rock.

Prolific Output

JTSunrise has a substantial discography on SoundCloud, with over 200 tracks available. This includes a mix of original songs, raw covers, and collaborations with other artists. His music spans genres like folk, bluegrass and country blues, cowboy country, and 90s acoustic rock, reflecting his diverse influences.

Commitment to Seattle’s Artistic Community

JTSunrise’s influence extends beyond music. His commitment to authentic Seattle art is evident in his participation and support of local artists and musicians. As of 2024 he remains a licensed Pike Place Market busker, a role that allows him to share handmade music directly with the community any time, creating intimate, memorable experiences for locals and visitors.

Thanks everyone for support!
