Superb pristine sounds timbres ..meditaive atmosphere¡¡

Happy Friday to my SC friends. Today’s musical offering is very special to me because it signifies a breaking away from my old patterns. Long story short… old Justin was pretty set in his music making/production routines (solo work belongs on solo albums. Collab work belongs on collab albums. And never the two shall meet). 

But new Justin is proving to be surprisingly more flexible in his thinking; an interesting (I might even go as far as to say… shocking) result of my new paradigm. And while it might seem like a ‘nothing burger’ to most people… the way my brain is wired, this is a huge change… and one I am grateful for.

So today I happily offer my first collab song, also intended for my first hybrid album. The song is called ‘Life In Twilight’… and my guest artist is our dear friend, Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com), offering up the lovely Alto Sax and Guitar you hear in this piece

If you haven’t already crossed paths with Carlos, you are missing out. He is one of the most prolific people I have encountered in my travels. He plays about 30+ instruments, each with impressive skill. And if the instrument doesn’t exist... he creates it himself. And 'musician' is just one aspect of his inspiring and adventurous life. He is a great example of a person who discovered his passions early, and is now living a beautiful life pursuing those passions. We need more people like him in this world, reminding us of what is truly important.

On a personal level, the stuff Carlos has taught me over the years has helped me ease into this new sober life with tremendous grace. The music theory and instrumental lessons have helped make my sonic worlds more sophisticated (and therefore more rewarding to craft). And the moving and breathing meditations (Chi energy exercises) have proven fundamental to my mental/spiritual well being too. Needless to say, he has been a major influence in my evolving life; and I will be forever grateful. 

Carlos, I am honored beyond words that you are the guest artist on my first hybrid album. It signifies a great new direction for me. I’m excited to be on this path, and I’m glad you agreed to join me. 

To everyone else, we hope you enjoy “Life In Twilight”, the first of two new songs with Carlos that will ultimately wrap up my upcoming album “What Color Is Your Paradox?” 

(And yes... this is the last song I still had in the archives from my little break; originally finished on 1/20/2024. It's all going to be new content from here on out). :)

Paradox?

Life In Twilight | Carlos Vivanco & GrevusAnjl

Cast of Characters:
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel –MD-- vocals and lyrics in the choruses

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth sax 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums, acoustic guitar intro, and vocalized tones at the end, verse lyrics and melody, composition

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, vocals on the verses



This is a song that originated with Ken several months ago. He wrote the whole thing on piano, guitar, and drums and presented it to the rest of the band. Of course, everyone was very excited to add their spin to it. I added my bass part first, as the foundation. Ken also left his catchy original guitar intro as it was. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic, along with the sax that you hear in there, too. Stephen added his solid foundational guitar to it, too, soon after. Then it sat, stalled out for need of some vocals. Of course, we asked TMD to add some, which he did in grand fashion for the choruses. All that was left were the verses. Ken wrote lyrics, and gave me an idea for the melody, so I sang the verses to wrap it up. Of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did so well, as always.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Homeboy (The Eclectic Collective)

This time, I return to the realm of fantasy, where my characters, upon arriving in the North, found themselves in the dwarven mines. There, they are to meet with the Dwarf King's son, who will task them with aiding in uncovering the mystery surrounding his father's death, slain in a goblin ambush. However, before this occurs, they take part in a funeral ceremony.

To craft this piece, I utilized only the free VSTi's by ProjectSAM @projectsam: Free Orchestra 1 and 2. I've begun working on it 2 months ago... It's one of my over 30 projects in development ;)

Thanks goes to my friends and test drivers: kavvka @grzegorzkawka and Alexander Stratonov @ephtrackx

Funeral of the Dwarven King

Eyes That Talk

Je suis décivilisation 
Je suis l'ensauvagement
Je suis renarde dans votre Eden
Je suis la loi du ventre
Je suis ces invincibles amarantes
Je suis chasseresse de chasseurs
Je suis tétanisation
Je suis alors fulgurance rebelle
Je suis une murmuration féerique à l'heure dorée.
Je suis endêvée par votre passivité
Je suis l'improbable qui te guette
Je suis ainsi l'assise substantielle
Je suis mycorhizes 
Je suis ces sentiers prompts à vous faire saliver
Je suis la spirale de fuites
Je suis aussi incendie désiré
Je suis violette tel l'aconit 
Je suis sagesse car sans sang
Je suis l'évolution par tous ignorée
Je suis la badass à la hache et au cœur de glace
Je suis syntropie
Je suis notre sourire stellaire

Decivilization

This is messy and rough, more like a demo -- it was all done in my scratch pad context (FL Studio), but then again the subject is messy and rough.

Take You Down

I can take you down
I can bring you right down put your face down to it
I can wait around ready for you

you are free to change your mind
you are free to leave this life behind
there's an open door but you don't go through it

I try to get away clean but you got me in a hold
you put your fingers in my head and I loose control
how will I ever be satisfied

I can help with the pain for a little while
cause you know it really just ain't my style
to let you feel what I'm doing when I'm doin it

got what I need and I need it
where does it end now
now that I've paid with my freedom

I just want to be free from all the craving of the night
hey yeah will there ever be a time when I feel it

I think this should really be Steve Coombes....featuring tHE bLUE rOOM as he brings this to life & gives it the soul it needed.
I originally had a little place that I had started & just left..waiting to develop. I heard some songs from Steve's profile & really hoped he would be interested & put his thumb print on this...he certainly did.
What an amazing result!
Thank You Steve

Burning Circles

A quiet song for the displaced 

-~<: Lyrics :>~-

How high is high, high
How far the lost fall
From mothers wide arms
From fathers empty hand

Meet us in the city
The city holds you now

Meet us in the city
The city holds you now

The place you left is gone
The City Holds us now

This Boulevard
A promenade
the queasy strip

How high is high, high
How far the lost ones fall
From mothers weeping grace
From fathers empty land

How High Is High

AMBIENT, CREATIVE, EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC...
Sassy, unconventional but so free...

The remarkable precision of our electronic music is far too perfect, it lacks colors, emotions, imperceptible details of imprecision which gives it a different flavor.
So I inflict hours of torment on myself in this area to break and circumvent this precision, which is certainly a good thing, but which harms the development of my music which I wish to be human.

Enjoy reading and don’t hesitate to leave a little comment ❤️🕊️🙏
________________________________________________________________________
MUSIQUE D'AMBIANCE, CRÉATIVE, EXPÉRIMENTALE... 
impertinente, non conventionnelle mais tellement libre...

La précision remarquable de notre musique électronique et beaucoup trop parfaite, elle manque de couleurs, d'émotions, de détails imperceptibles de l’imprécision qui lui donne une saveur différente. Alors je m'applique dans ce domaine des heures de tourmentes pour briser et contourner cette précision, qui est certes une bonne chose, mais qui nuit au développement de ma musique que je désire être humaine.

Bonne lecture à vous et n'hésitez pas un laisser un petit commentaire ❤️🕊️🙏
