Cognitive Dissonance

Gathering Light For Winter

sieving shallow breaths 
i existed in the fetal position,
a broken existence;
for what seemed to me then,
as it still does now,
to be forever.

in those long moments, 
i stared without expression into the forever black surrounding me
until after a while
visions sprang to life.

i saw myself walking 
high on dunes and low through valleys;
small in the canyons and smaller through the plains;
quiet in the mountains and bold through caves.

every vision had me marching,
on and over every conceivable terrain
unceasingly chasing down the horizon.

it cleared my head of fear and doubt to spur these visions on
and so i bade my body farewell as i drifted further into them.

i remember taking a deep breath after a long hike,
and it occurred to me that perhaps in chasing 
one might never obtain what he hunts.

and so i reached out toward the horizon,
piercing the veil of illusion.

my palm wrapped around the illuminator and the horizon dimmed as i retrieved it.
in my hands was a strength without wielder,
a light without shadow.

Struggles Hidden From The World

With "The Siren," MatAre steps away from his usual introspective themes to tell a tale of fascination and danger lurking beneath the waves. The post-punk vibe of the track, infused with elements of new wave and goth rock, showcases MatAre's versatility as an artist. Recorded in Jacksonville, Florida in 2023 and finalized in December 2024, the recording process itself was a unique experience, with vocals captured on the beach at night to capture the essence of the song. MatAre's upcoming album promises to further showcase his evolution as an artist, with "The Siren" standing out as a mesmerizing preview of what's to come.

The Siren

Lyrics

Its mostly me
Most for you
Some other feet in other shoes
kindly with me your fused to choose
A life that's happy if that's what you choose

Victory in spirit
We have burned descending into hell
With us the trophies returned
With warrior silence

Its mostly me
Most for you
Take pride in defeat
Win with the truth
Your fused
I refuse
I refuse
I refuse
I refuse

「ミズ」

どこまでも闇のほうへ
誰よりも堕ちていきたい
追いかけてきてくれない
息の根を止めてよ

いつでも一緒に居たかった
僕でも永遠に成れたのかな

鏡の向こう指さすひと
変わらないね
変わったようで
傷つけてよあの言葉で
涙なんてもう無いから

いつでも一緒に居たかった
僕でも永遠に成れたのかな

The Way Through

My aim with (neo)- psychedelia
Is to be free of formal song structures. To be curious, explore artistically, to evolve and grow.
To allow emotions, both dark and light, to express themselves and reveal deeper images and messages from the subconscious and from the soul. Soul inspired music btw is not always pretty and polite
I like to create atmospheres in which to hang out for a time
No barriers so I can then hybridise with other genres
I'm open to everything from Bach to Billy Idol (excepting Strauss waltzes and fairground organs... however I'm open to persuasion)
Hopefully to surprise and to disorientate. To use minimalist repeating phrases which build and give a hypnotic vibe or groove
Psychedelia teaches us that there is no rush, it's not the end that matters it's the process of getting there, that is my true goal
But I also bear in mind the imperative to be relevant 
The late 60's early 70's gave us so many great musical gifts (Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa etc the list is very long) and I for one am happy to keep unwrapping them
I highly value improvisation and jamming (but I have a no noodling policy). Instrumental music has a vocabulary of emotions with which I'm always mindful that there is a story encoded. 
I always record the first take as this is where magic, beyond the mind, can instantly emerge. An out of key, "mistake" is redefined as an accidental note or a borrowed chord a "surprise" and can liberate the piece from predictability. A degree of disharmony and musical tension are often necessary within a piece so that the subsequent release into harmony and joy is a highlighted sense of relief and spaciousness 
It's not so much about striving for technical perfection, it's about first and foremost serving the song.
I love that a piece can literally emerge from the tone of a single note, lightly asking "I wonder where this will take me?"
This keeps me guessing and ever curious 
In musical flow states, I am sometimes transcended into subtler realms of spirit. I've met some of my muses there... it can be very ecstatic 
Life on this planet, when observed for long enough, consists of periods of challenge leading to more settled blissful states... but one can only ever acknowledge these and keep on moving through, cycle after cycle.
Sometimes the pain and the bliss are simultaneous.
Psychedelia is here to remind us, usually with a mixture of compassion and gentle non insistent wisdom, that we are all equally valid and as important as one another.
The generation of this music doesn't require me to be in any specific state, prior to playing, in order to engage with it.
