4 e and a is about the infinite spaces between. As a classically trained percussionist, Raffa sat in front of a metronome for the majority of their life. And in their mind, they would play with the spaces between those clicks. In especially challenging times, Ryan would attempt to expand and stretch those spaces into forever. Just existing in the between. This record is about these moments (and places) when we are living in those infinite spaces.

That time of intense musical focus was also Ryan's first introduction to an analog synthesizer. As a teenager, their drum teacher was Herb Flower, an incredible human with light beams of creative energy pouring out of him and his musical family at all times. A parent of another student of Mr. Flower’s was an electrical engineer who had recently been laid off during large cutbacks at Carrier, one of the major employers at that time in Syracuse where Raffa grew up. This parent, with their newly acquired free time, hand-built a drum machine, housed in a large wooden cabinet with 8 or so unmarked knobs, and they gave this synthesizer to Mr. Flower. The sound from that machine was glorious. And Mr. Flower, their drum teacher, would turn a few knobs, make a pattern and have me play along with it during rehearsal. These moments were such a gift, and I know those moments are still reverberating today. Raffa thinks about that time of experimentation, of exploration, of shared love of sound and music as a place that they can go to, a place we can all go to, whenever we choose.

(You Left) Paris In My Car - The SubTles (Live Take)

This SoundCloud is my Project Freeman Music 'Works In Progress' Platform.
Here are all the Demos I've captured of my Compositions to date, including my 'Songs of Freedom', which are categorised as Relating, Realisation, Remedy & Rebellion (and Revelry!) on the 'Road to Redemption', from Serf to Self, from Slave to Sovereign. 
The demos are of various quality, from the early 90's Gregorian to the present day... 
PLUS here I share audio of 'Project Freeman' presentations and interviews (these are more like podcasts, but some also include songs) 

The songs start off as rough demos in various playlists here, and are then added to the 'Project Freeman Music Official Releases' playlist once they are finished, recorded and released to the major music platforms. (You can get your own copies of these via my Bandcamp link below, with all proceeds going to support my work and causes).
Therefore the quality of the demos here varies enormously, from old 1990s amateur recordings on cassette tape, to amateur home studio demos, to raw acoustic demos on the road in the camper van, to overdubbed tracks on the move, to more polished finished works etc etc

I have over 200 songs at various stages of production. My aim is to gradually publish my complete catalogue online, so the main thing here is to 'hear how the song goes' not to be fussy about the quality of recordings or performances.
Also, 'Tracks' have not been shared here in any particular order, so more recent Tracks could actually be much older, poorer quality demos and it's not possible to change the order of the Tracks once they have been uploaded, so please bare all this in mind when listening to 'Tracks'. It's probably best to choose a 'Playlist' and go from there :)

If you're looking for the best quality versions of the songs please go straight to the 'Project Freeman Music Official Releases' playlist

Lastly, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
Us amateur, unsigned artists don't have big budgets behind us to promote our works so I'm very grateful to you for stopping by my little corner of the internet and checking out what I'm up to ;)
The best gift you can give a song writer is to listen to their creations, so please know that I very much appreciate any plays and or re-posts & shares that you give my 'babies' ;)

Peace, love and freedom
