An acoustic indie pop-folk rock song written last night and recorded on my iPhone this morning. I'll try to clean it up and record on my rStudio eventually, maybe encorporate drums and bass from the band if they're up for it. I was going for a more Early Day Miners meets Kind of Like Spitting and emopunkfolk but I think it kind ended up kind of with minor elements of that, but more Nick Drake meets a combo of Brooke Fraser and Kellin Quinn.

Tiff Ku - Riddles (Acoustic First Demo)

A reason for a juncture.
A juncture before a reason.
This is the latest track by Tiff Ku, a.k.a. Juncture Before Reason.


Tiff Ku - It Could Be So Simple

...getting back into MOMENTOFTRUTH meditations.

this one goes out to my favorite person in the world. :)

(...not to say that the other best people in the world aren't my favorite people in the world.)

for you, boo.

momentoftruth - Always Thinking Of You - 3:30:16, 3.08 AM

This was one of a set of demo tracks composed by my first band, Residual. It was where I started learning the basics of playing the electric guitar with the guru of my old buddy and ex-bandmate/guitar mentor, Les Norris. 

Uploading a series of old demos from various projects tonight, August 24, 2016, because of a little chat with a new friend.

This song was a wolf howl into the void of space and a message to my first love, the partner in my cosmic awakening, and the lady that catalyzed my 13 year Dark Night of the Soul, that was the building blocks and foundation of everything that I have become.

Untitled Track

Residual - Rooftop (codename for unnamed song)

This was a demo that I wrote for the second great love of my life - it was the first track that I ever sent to her, and part of our introduction to each other. It was just a quick something that I put together, a 4am whisper jam, trying not to wake up my roommates. Early twenties angst. Trying to get over my first love. Desperately trying to move on, but not sure if it was the right thing to do, and simultaneously having no choice. Extremely broken, and extremely poisoned in soul. You get the picture.

This is the second TK Oldie that I'm posting tonight, August 24, 2016, as part of a little chat with a new special someone.

[It is time... to... move... on.] It is time.

P.S. you might have to increase the volume on this one, because it was recorded with an MD Player at a 4am whisper.

TK Oldie #3 posted tonight, August 24, 2016, as part of a little chat with a new special someone.

Everyone goes through growing pains, and teenage/early-twenties angst. Not excluding myself.

This is the truth about the second great love of my life.
I fucked up.
We both had our own personal issues.
At risk of putting my own words in her mouth,
All I can say is that everyone has insecurities, and maybe the timing of this relationship was all wrong; maybe the geographical distance made it impossible, but despite, the irony of my having ended up moving to the same general region as her in the end, now, nearly 14 years after the fact, - the truth is: I have, indeed, moved on.

Because of you.

TK Oldie #4 posted tonight, August 24, 2016 as a chat with a certain special someone.

Yes, despite that B and I never actually met in person, it was, indeed, real. At least on my end. The truth is, despite what I can infer, or perceive,... ; despite all of my intuition of the reality of the situation; I honestly will never know. And that is part of the problem - the biggest part of the problem. The main major reason, that I really must move on.

But regardless, it took 9 years to even begin to really move on.

I only really mean it now, because... of you.

TK Oldie #5: continuation of little chat.

Mirrors all around?
I'm over this.
Everyone should just get over this.
Please just get over this.

There's the type of character that plays games outwards, in uninvited, and unwanted ways.

Then there's the type of character that plays games inwards, because they feel uninvited and unwanted, but feel compelled to reach out because of kindredness, and silent/howling, unspoken/spoken understanding.

The first is insecurely overconfident.
The second is confidently insecure.

The entire situation is just unfortunate.

These days, I'm grounded, balanced, and stable...
But two can only reach Oneness, if both parties avoid games.

No more games. No more games. No more games, please.

I want adventure.

I'm tired of avoiding life...
I want to live it to its fullest.

Will you?

therequiembirth - Really.

Since I've been receiving so many new awesome people Following my account after my recent set of uploads from my old TK Oldie bank, I thought I'd keep my account active, and add another one from a different project, TIMECODE. Also, I wanted to send a note to a set of One.

B, remember this? An old track reminiscent of one of my favorite songs in the world: Olafur Arnald's "0052" from Eulogy for Evolution.

If my eyes are reading what I'm seeing accurately, then as much as it pains me to say this, but... what I perceive now, is:

Perhaps we delivered each other to our Twins.

Love to All.

hugs and kisses to you too Atreyu.

And as for you C[A]: 

I won't forget you either.

Live your life in the Moment, as always.
Be yourself, and embrace all that is in your life.

The Baroque Period marks eras of time, trapped in simultaneous poverty and passionate love.

Listen to your heart, your soul, and your spirit,
And follow it always.

It will never guide you wrong.

You both have my blessing.

The Period of Eras.

MOMENTOFTRUTH - The Period of Eras.

Here's some Post-Shoegazer from Tiff Ku (Juncture Before Reason) for you.

I love the beginning of this, but the ending is kind of sloppy. In between writing, recording, buying groceries for cooking Mother's Day dinner with my cousin, cooking the dinner, and actually eating it, then rushing to finish up before packing and getting in enough sleep to wake up for my flight tomorrow, this is the best I could do for now. 

I'll probably rip this one apart and do it over again too when I get back.

Tiff Ku - Blackout Selective Memory Demo v1

An old track that I remembered to upload today, from when JBR was a full-lineup (almost, sans drums). 

This song had a lot of potential, but the trio has parted ways. 

Ironically enough, this song was codenamed: "Broken."

Juncture Before Reason - Broken Sample Demo

Tiff Ku here. Well, I've officially jumped on the SoundCloud bandwagon.

How to introduce myself: well, given that I'm currently hermiting in my studio cave, I think it's best to put this off until later.

However, what I can say, is that I work mainly with experimental media: do check out my webPortfolio (http://tkmedia.eyemagnetmedia.com) to get a sampling of my body of work.

Photography, Graphic Design, and Film aside, this website is mainly for sharing Music, so I'll just keep it simple: I'm an avant-garde, experimental artist who likes to work independently on my own, mainly self-taught, through explorations of cosmic blue skies and birds, to falls into supernatural astral travels through hell, going through that "Eureka!" moment depicted very well in that Christopher Nolan short film that you can find on YouTube, to feeling numb and dead to the world and hibernating in the oven - I work with indie-rock, post-hardcore, post-rock, math-rock, folk, and midi-related baroque music. Instruments? Mainly guitar with a lot of effects, but also bass, drums, and the midi-keyboard. I did buy a cheap $20 horn off the street while travelling through India in 2012, but I can't do much with it besides sound like I'm playing at a funeral and nurse my popped-out eyeballs afterwards. However, midi patches do a good job at emulating the sound so that I can write while wearing headphones without getting evicted from my house. I will find a deserted field in the mountains someday to properly learn how to play the thing, sooner or later - this I promise to myself. :)
