Tired Of Fighting - Menahan Street Band

I was just practicing tonight and felt like recording one of the pieces.  Beethoven's Sonata No. 14 in C# minor Op. 27 No. 2, or otherwise known as 'Quasi una fantasia' or the 'Moonlight Sonata'.  I recorded this on a Steinway D and mastered it in my mastering studio www.alpinemastering.com  

Hope you all enjoy.

Electric Avenue To Hell

"Rattle the Cage" 
from the unreleased forthcoming album NOENEMIES

LYRICS
I can’t get my computer to boot cancel everything
there’s an active shooter on a new campus everyday
what’s that hafta do with me my movement would never take
anybody’s life
what I hafta do to prove it to you whatever say
we are not alike
we are not alike
look at me look at you
I can see what you do from the evil I separate
look at you look at me I maneuver and flee from you people I segregate
get it straight
we are not alike I don’t peddle hate
I just go to the booth and I meditate
and I breathe and I eat and I puke and I defecate

don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out 

fire in the sky
masses at the border
shadows in the night
faces of disorder
rivers made of blood
skeletons in closets
bodies in the mud
torturers on crosses
wretched of the earth
undeserved sentence
reckoning of curses
long awaited vengence
executed messengers piled up upon the entrance
clamor of the stenches threaten overwhelm the senses

don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out

there’s an active shooter on the news and I speculate
that it has to do with something you bastards said today
see your attitudes and backwards views they miseducate
it is not all right
all the chatter you decide to spew when you agitate
til they slaughter life
it is not all right
you’re not speaking the truth I can see what you do to the people make them afraid
look at you look at me
see your movement is evil we need to eradicate
get away
it is not all right that you peddle hate
you’re the reason I rally and rattle cage
cuz you’re leavin the people not breathing and dead afraid

In the war against fear we are on the same side

we rattle the cage cause we wanna come out

"Pray" (Extended) Lyrics

any dream can become a nightmare 
if we never wake from it  
any person can seem like a devil 
when their story and history are lost to lies
we are blinded by falsehoods and weak mythology
we are called to wake
we are called to rise
the opposite of oppression is liberation
together we can confront the bloodstained chapters of our stories
and write with new ink
pages of reconciliation and forgiveness
it is time for an exorcism
to expel the demons which have separated us
to purge our souls from the toxic claims of whiteness
to walk gloriously into that great truth we have always known
we are family

when my father handed me the lash
taught me false tradition
separate my family white from black
consecrate division
i was young and ignorant of grace
lived as they had taught me
down in the river
i claim my sins
cast the devil off me
 
pray the pale white devil back to hell
blessed be my witness
pray the pale white devil back to hell
cry for my forgiveness
 
when the demons beckoned me to come
why did i believe them
named my brother as three fifths a man
left his body bleeding
claimed my sister as their property
used her for their pleasure
pray the pale white devil back to hell
cleanse my sins forever
 
look at me and what do you see
see somebody up in a tree
saying don't lie to us
at the worst of times
i see nursery rhymes 
too anonymous to believe
i'd rewrite them posthumously
but we can't wipe the blood from these leaves
it's inside of us
like a demon spawn
conceived deep beyond
pray to god for us to be free
i first caught him in the valley where the water was tainted
followed on the map and saw the spot where it was painted
the bottle was ancient
fiddle with the folds of a riddle made sacred
7 million dollars out of only one sl------p
from the mystery run
screaming oh my god it's begun
now we read prophecies of our progeny
and the monsters they have become
what the hell have we done
 
pray the pale white devil back to hell
make my soul unbroken
pray the pale white devil back to hell
let my eyes be opened
 
hip hop is transphobic
i speak the statement seeking its irrelevance
when it’s said the further from hell it gets
so why call blm some terrorists
we did the same with martin
and worse with the suffragettes
first resistance
forgiveness is coming next
before the wing is the cell of the chrysalis
the catalyst to something else
they'd pay attention
if i eliminated a mona lisa
when god’s masterpieces are
killed with increasing frequency
imitate immortals just to get someone to listen
we are building up a world that changes shame into contrition
we have named our mission
praying not condemning
blood relations are craving witness
liberation from this nation’s sickness  
we will win with no malice and no militias
 
speak truth to your neighbor
for we are all members of one body
be angry and sin not
do not let the sun go down on your wrath
nor give place to the devil
our weapon will not be righteousness
our tool will be humanity
 
pray the pale white devil back to hell
shout him from the heavens
usher in the souls long cast aside
beg for resurrection
turn and face your savior eye to eye
stand for your conviction
pray the pale white devil back to hell
til the lord is risen

Pre-order the new album ‘The Making of a Paracosm', released 23 October on Foreign Family Collective/Counter Records: https://kasbo.ffm.to/paracosm.pbt

Stream/Download my debut album 'Places We Don't Know': http://lnk.to/placeswedontknow

Feels incredible to be releasing my Debut Album, it's been such a long process and such a long challenge it kind of felt like this day would never come, but it did.

Conceptually the album is about romanticizing a naive world view. That naiveness and ignorance is something to be cherished. There's something really beautiful about the perfect worldview you have as a kid, that the world is harmless, beautiful and good. The more you learn and experience though the more you realise everything isn't perfect. So the less you know the more beautiful it is, it's the things we haven't done, the places we don't know, that have this unquestionable beauty to it. it's this world i'm trying to mirror with my album, the one that stays in your imagination.

Musically i knew i wanted to do a sonic representation of the concept, blending worldly sounds with small bedroom type samples and soundscapes. I really loved the idea of those two polarizing things being the two main factors that would lay the ground for the album.

Bleed It Out

Bleed It Out (feat. Nea)

Download

Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune is the third movement of his Suite Bergamasque, written for solo piano and completed in 1905. The title, meaning “Moonlight,” is inspired by Paul Verlaine’s poem, evoking a serene and reflective atmosphere. The piece epitomizes French Impressionism, focusing on mood and imagery over traditional form.
Structure and Atmosphere

The piece is in ternary form (ABA):

    Opening (A):
    A soft, flowing melody emerges over delicate arpeggios. The music feels weightless, like moonlight shimmering on water. Debussy uses rich harmonies and seventh chords to create a dreamlike quality, with a tender, introspective mood.

    Middle Section (B):
    The dynamics intensify, with fuller textures and soaring melodic lines. This section brings a sense of emotional depth and urgency, contrasting with the calm opening. Arpeggios cascade dramatically, giving the impression of moonlight suddenly brightening or revealing hidden beauty.

    Closing (A):
    The opening material returns, slightly varied, fading into a gentle, whisper-like conclusion. The piece ends as quietly as it began, leaving a sense of stillness and wonder.

Musical Features

    Harmonics: Debussy’s use of whole-tone scales, parallel chords, and non-functional harmony creates a suspended, ethereal soundscape.
    Melody: The lyrical melody floats effortlessly above the accompaniment, expressing both simplicity and emotional depth.
    Texture: Light, transparent textures alternate with moments of lush, resonant fullness, embodying the interplay of light and shadow.

Mood and Interpretation

Clair de Lune evokes the quiet magic of a moonlit night, combining serenity with subtle melancholy. Its poetic quality invites listeners to imagine moonlight reflecting on a calm lake, whispering through trees, or illuminating a tranquil landscape. The music feels timeless, blending stillness with fleeting moments of intensity.

Cultural Impact

This iconic piece has been widely used in films (Ocean’s Eleven, Twilight) and pop culture, often accompanying scenes of romance, nostalgia, or quiet reflection. Its universal appeal lies in its ability to evoke deep emotion while remaining understated.
Performance Notes

Expressive dynamics, fluid phrasing, and careful pedaling are essential to capturing its delicate atmosphere. A balance between freedom and control ensures its dreamlike flow remains intact.

Clair de Lune is a masterpiece of impressionistic music, celebrated for its ability to transport listeners into a realm of quiet beauty and introspection.

Claude Debussy - The Essential Collection

Clair de Lune

Clair de Lune - Debussy

Medeski Martin & Wood and Alarm Will Sound have announced the release of a new collaborative album, 'Omnisphere,' due September 14 via MMW's own imprint, Indirecto Records. The collection poses a compelling question: What would happen if one of the most adventurous groups to emerge in jazz and improvised music in the last three decades were to join up with an orchestra that counts among the boldest forces in contemporary classical? The results are both expected, in the peerless level of the musicianship, and stunning, in the sweeping stylistic range of the program. But more than anything, 'Omnisphere' speaks to the respect and creative kinship shared between these two trailblazing ensembles.

Recorded live at The Newman Center in Denver, Colorado in February 2015, 'Omnisphere' fulfills a long-held aspiration for Medeski, drummer-percussionist Billy Martin and bassist Chris Wood. In the earliest days of the band, they would often listen to classical and chamber music as a source of musical inspiration, conceptualizing the idea of how to merge their freewheeling improvisational jazz explorations with the more composed approach of orchestral music.   

The album's seven-track program strikes an ideal balance, with original music by members of both groups, plus new AWS arrangements of two cuts off MMW's 'End of the World Party (Just in Case)'—the title track for which was is the album's first single premiered today at DownBeat (listen and share here). That 2004 release featured the trio's trademark avant-grooves underneath an array of keyboards—including plenty of Mellotron—with pop-savvy production by the Dust Brothers' John King. On these reinventions of "End of the World Party (Just in Case)," arranged by cellist Stefan Freund, and "Anonymous Skulls," arranged by violinist Courtney Orlando, the album's atmospheric replicas of strings and choir are made real through Alarm Will Sound's rich orchestral tapestry. Think of classic soul-jazz-with-strings LPs, though on another plateau of insight and imagination.

Martin's "Coral Sea," given an impressionistic arrangement by founding AWS trumpeter Jason Price, explores "colors and hues and nuance—all these things that are barely there," the composer says. Medeski's offering, "Eye of Ra," is a 20-minute tour-de-force that reflects the panoramic scope of his influences and experience—from shades of Stravinsky and Shostakovich that underscore his training at New England Conservatory, to rollicking, hard-grooving sections that summon up the NYC downtown scene.

The lead-off composition, "Kid Tao Mammal (Unworldliness Weirdo)," was commissioned for the project and written by founding AWS percussionist Payton MacDonald, and it sets the pace for the beyond-genre music to follow: speedy, cresting waves of strings and woodwinds, with startling punches of brass; funky rhythms bolstering Medeski's psychedelic electric piano; an ambient, near-dissonant section split open by Martin's drum solo; a thrilling finale. Other works composed by AWS personnel include multi-instrumentalist Caleb Burhans' "Oh Ye of Little Faith...(Do You Know Where Your Children Are?)," which evokes the gorgeously emotive, slow-burning side of the Minimalists; and Miles Brown's cyclical, noirish "Northern Lights," named in part after the Detroit lounge where the bassist had a regular jazz-trio gig. Onstage, Brown called his contribution "an opportunity for me to write for my band, and for a band that I've been listening to for a long time that I know could handle some improvisation. Just a little bit,” he added, chuckling.

Medeski Martin & Wood w/ Alarm Will Sound's 'Omnisphere' is out September 17, 2018 on limited edition 2-LP vinyl and digital formats.

Medeski Martin & Wood -  Suspicious Minds

Another calm, slow and soothing relaxdaily background music instrumental. This smooth and peaceful music arrangement with piano and electric guitar has the power to help you get into a relaxed mood, but also to activate the creative part of your brain. Simply close your eyes and start daydreaming, thinking, reflecting, or even creating. Or, watch the beautiful scenery of California's coastline in the Big Sur area during a November day: https://relaxdaily.net/video-n060/

...Relaxdaily's background music instrumentals; slow, peaceful, atmospheric music that can be used as a soundtrack for multiple activities. Depending on your interest you might use my music in your relaxation music playlist, as yoga music or as meditation music (I know, this is not the ordinary music for meditation, but it works for many people). You might also use it as music while you're studying, doing homework, working (mentally, creatively), reading, writing, while thinking or reflecting, dreaming, reviewing, making future plans. Some use it as „sleep music" (though there might be better sleep music out there...). Call it chillout, ambient, New Age, instrumental, or background music -- this is not as much about a genre as it is about a feeling. A way of life. With the relaxdaily project, I try to take a little heat from our (generally) too busy lives. I try to deliver a soundtrack for you, when you feel the need for some positive, calming, liberating tunes.

Hope you enjoy my music, 
Michael (relaxdaily)
