Traditional

All instruments and vocals by Peter and Brent Knowles.

Old Blue

Music: Jan Schonander

This is about as close to a "dittie" as you get in the synth VST world. I loaded up 5 different VSTs, four from Logic Pro X and 1 from Kontakt, mapped them into 5 different and sometimes overlapping parts of the keyboard and played it all in one go. In other words this is a one man band piece that can be performed live - there are no overlays just a single play. It was kind of fun doing this and I felt like one of those street musicians playing on a pedestrian street in front of an old-fashioned department store while playing. Maybe some of you will enjoy.

This piece was a long work in progress...so grateful to have finished it, to have had the honor of coloring with these brilliant crayons:

The mix is named after a Star Trek TNG episode ,"Children of Tamar". Picard and the gang were trying to establish relations with people who only spoke in obscure metaphors. The 2 captains were beamed down to the planet to learn communication through engaging in battle together...a common goal. 
Music is a universal language....for emotional expression and common ground. These 3 guys from Skeleton Key came together to play some fantastic , well grounded , industrial metal and it is my honor to have been allowed to use their music in this mix. Please check them out as well as the rest of the pallet please.....

SKELETON KEY - Skeleton Key (Tamarian Mix)

Traduit en français plus bas
-----
Did you save me
Or did you take me down? down
Prayers are no longer needed
Now i leave the ground
Did you love me
When you held me tight, so tight
Words are illusions but tears never lie

Now I'm a ghost in this world 
Far from the living, far from home
I still have the taste on my tongue
Memories in monochrome
Wandering with peace of mind
Just listening to the blind
I'm ok, leaving it all behind

A ghost in this world,
far from heaven, far from hell
I don't know where i belong
and for now some doubts prevail
Deprived of the essential
What seemed so valuable
I'm ok, lost in intangible

A ghost in the world
Lost in intangible

Did you love me
Did you lie ?
Did you save me
Or take me down ?
-----
Est ce que tu m'as sauvé
Où est ce que tu m'as mis à terre ?
Les prières ne sont plus nécessaires
Maintenant je quitte le sol
Est-ce que tu m'as aimé
Quand tu me tenais serré, si serré
Les mots sont des illusions mais les larmes ne mentent jamais

Maintenant je suis un fantôme dans ce monde 
Loin des vivants, loin de chez moi
J'ai encore le goût sur ma langue
Des souvenirs en monochrome
Errant avec la paix de l'esprit
Écoutant les aveugles
Je vais bien, en laissant tout derrière moi

Un fantôme dans ce monde,
loin du paradis, loin de l'enfer
Je ne sais pas où est ma place
Et pour l'instant, certains doutes subsistent
Privé de l'essentiel
Ce qui semblait si précieux
Je vais bien, perdu dans l'intangible

Un fantôme dans le monde
Perdu dans l'intangible

M'aimais-tu ?
As-tu menti ?
M'as-tu sauvé
Ou m'as-tu fait tomber ?

Ghost

(SoundCloud Exclusive)

I have gotten permission from GrevusAnjl to make this version downloadable here as well, so feel free to grab the file if you like it.

When I read the beautiful description accompanying this amazing song I really wished it was part of the music itself, and eventually realised I could do it because the creators GrevusAnjl (Justin, @grevusanjl, https://grevusanjl.bandcamp.com) and Jo (@minimal_drone_grl, minimaldronegrl.bandcamp.com/) allowed remixes.

I read their story aloud:

The first signs of morning sunlight appear above the mountain’s rock covered peaks, as the Earth spins us around to witness the brilliance of another new day. Bright rays shine visibly through the morning mist, and dewdrops sparkle like diamonds among the tree leaves as the valley below slowly fills with warmth and light.

Flora watches from her vantage point high above; witnessing her friends in the forest come alive to greet another day; and the people in the city streets down in the valley below come alive to serve another day. She’s watched this dance for many years; the forest remaining peaceful in its ancient perfection; the people below growing ever more unsatisfied as they strive for an illusionary and strangely unattainable perfection of their own.

This idea might sound sad to you and I. But over the years she has also seen miracles occur among us. From her vantage point she sees us like fields of energy; and the majority of that energy looks rather stagnant and mucky, like cesspools of unmoving water, unaware of the renewing stream we have been cut off from. But once in a while, an explosion of light energy will burst outward from a single house or apartment building, as someone becomes disenfranchised from their false identity, and their hearts open up to new ideas for the first time.

Surprisingly, these changes often occur after great loss. And she suspects this is due to the fragility of our illusion. She sees how lost we all are in these roles and characters we have built for ourselves, and she sees how quickly that false identity can shatter when we lose the things we prioritized the most. The loss of a relationship or loved one, a terminal illness in the body, the end of a career, a complete collapse in financial stability… when we lose the things we thought mattered most to us, some of us experience a miraculous opportunity for awakening to the truth that we were never those things to begin with.

Flora lovingly watches the majority of us grow more sickly and stagnant with time. And she never loses hope… because every evening, she has the same beautiful dream.

In her mind, the first signs of morning sunlight appear above the mountain’s rock covered peaks, as the Earth spins us around to witness the brilliance of another new day. Bright rays shine visibly through the morning mist, and dewdrops sparkle like diamonds among the tree leaves as the valley slowly fills with warmth and light.

But even brighter still are the explosions of light energy bathing the valley down below. After so many truly dark nights, many of us finally wake up the next morning to discover we were never all the things we lost in the night. In fact, we are something much larger. And as our energy explodes out, and the laws of attraction take hold, these simultaneous bursts prove to be strong and frequent enough to cause a chain reaction… and the whole valley lights up brighter than the sun itself.

We have finally realized we are simply conscious life, and nothing more. And in our new found freedom from identity, we all begin again.

Flora slumbers peacefully, knowing full well… this dream will some day come true.

Be On Your Mind

I'm happy to share with you the Zhorhann first single recorded a few months ago in a cave in Toulouse, it's a cover of "La chambre jaune" of M'Z

Now it's available as a single and for listening on all platforms here: https://album.link/frm2bcqqpcjz7
Thank you Luminol Records for distribution and trust
Thank you Hugo Lemercier for the mix

For context:
It's a cover taken from M'Z's prism album, which focuses on concepts, and uses constraint to tell its stories.
The reflection is centered around the notion of Prism.
The goal is to create parallels between colors and musical modes (musical colors), but it is also a pretext to tell a more personal story in parallel.
Another of the driving ideas of this project is that everything is inevitably interpreted, no matter how hard we try to approach a totally objective truth, it will never really be the case.
This project tries to break down every particle, to analyze every atom, but each time it tries to transcribe a message, it will be biased by the translation that its own prisms and analysis filters produce.
Despite his efforts to find an objective point of view, he can only admit that his feelings will systematically influence his decisions and thoughts.
It will be the same for the style, while trying not to approach only one aesthetic and mixing all its influences, he will quickly realize that fusion even with an open mind remains a kind of musical label.
M being the guitar Z the machine, the idea is also to create a bridge between organic and electric/electronic music, a bridge between the code and its acceptance as the need to get out of the code. Released on December 27, 2017 in self production.

This song, specifically, is about the color yellow. It is the reaction of our emotions when we try to deny them and try to bury them very deeply, then they will feel rejected and try again, to capture our attention. So well buried they will manage to communicate with our subconscious that reigns in these places, together with this strange friend, they will then be able to play with our state of consciousness and we will be forced to adopt behaviors that will bring us closer to madness, until until we can finally find a way to better deal with these emotions, hitherto misunderstood, unheard and rejected.

While waiting for the album that we are currently finishing mixing, here is something to listen to...
Can't wait to hear your feedback

Budget's tight so I haven't been able to get studio time, but this is the demo I made at home for another Witches Junkies & Weirdos track I call They Don't Know!

They Don't  KNow (Demo)

Heyo! This is a very light take on a kind of a compact-built, melodic composition. Hope you like it. :) Cheers!

I'm a Micromontage Artist with a deep love for THE Master Artist and fellowhumanbeings. I'm battling a chronic illness that will shorten my life considerably. In spite of this, I have great faith, a strong bond with my Divine Friend (to whom I owe everything), and a measure of joy. Some of this joy comes from expressions through art both visual and audio.

In the same manner a painter fills his/her pallet with wonderful color to create something from the imagination, I fill my pallet with "pieces" ... various clips from a variety artists and compositions, manipulations of different samples, and some original blends to create an audio painting. I also enjoy painting a visual to complete the picture, and now that my family is teaching me digital painting, the art is changing... constantly. I am open to suggestions on the visuals!

You may recognize some of the original artists. I picked them for their talent ... their amazing colors and artistry... to both pay homage and to create something unique and, hopefully enjoyable. I also experiment with lyrical remixes to inject myself completely ... expressing my innermost thoughts while still celebrating THEIR artistry. Some paintings are serious, some silly & fun, but all come from my heart. Thank you for allowing me to share :)

Please check out the Pallet behind each track and give them a listen 🎶 

Due to copyright restrictions, I have disabled the downloads... so sorry, but I don't want anyone mad at me for unlawful distribution. In addition, I am doing my utmost to be in compliance with copyright, but am just learning about these things. If you feel I have used or misused your art in any way, PLEASE contact me. I would NEVER intentionally hurt anyone and am eager to comply with artists' wishes. Thank you again to all who have allowed me the privilege to audio paint and share!
