Defeating Darkness

Recovery

 A downtempo track with heavy groove. 
Please continue to comment and repost, as this is much appreciated.

Out now on SJE Records.

A short review from Chris Heintz:
To start the mix sounds nice and wide and full. I like the subtle, yet effective melody with an edgier feel and a darkness to it. Nice transition into the more synth heavy section this gives the piece good dimension. It definitely sounds like you know what you are doing when it comes to producing for tv/film. Thank you!

Insomnia [SJE Records] (Out Now)

Things have been busy lately and so I haven't participated in a disquiet project for a spell.  Feels good to be back at it.   This composition uses the sounds of three switches:   

1) a portable Flashlight with a rubber push button that clicks twice to turn on and twice       to turn off 

2) a humidifier while plugged in

3) a Seth Thomas Metronome (only the on/off switch is heard)

Loops were created from the recordings and some loops were duplicated and given resonators at various harmony settings.  The Humidifier was tripled and at one point  some delay was added progressively to alter the rhythm.  Parts were added or subtracted and beats moved with each loop systematically based on groupings of 3 and 4 (these grouping were sometimes beats, sometimes measures, some times a subgroup-ing e.g. 2 beats or measures). Finally some automation of the resonators was added using the same system.

Dancing On My Own

Something romantic for a change? 

I sailed in a swaying barge
On the blue ocean,
That flows around the shining stars,
Have greeted the heavenly powers.
Was absorbed in their contemplation,
Drank the eternal ether,
I have completely withdrawn from the earthly,
Recognized the writings of the stars above
And in their circling and turning
Pictorially saw the sacred rhythm,
Which mightily also every sound
Tears me to the melodious, surging urge.
But alas! I am drawn down,
Fog obscures my view,
And the earth's boundaries I see again,
Clouds drive me back.
Woe! The law of gravity
It only asserts its right,
No one may escape it
From the earthly race.

Navegué en una barca oscilante
En el océano azul
Que fluye alrededor de las estrellas brillantes,
Saludé a los poderes celestiales.
Absorto en su contemplación,
Bebí el éter eterno,
Me retiré completamente de lo terrenal,
Reconocí las escrituras de las estrellas
Y en sus círculos y giros
Vi pintorescamente el ritmo sagrado
Que poderosamente también cada sonido
Me atrae hacia el impulso melódico y ondulante.
Pero, ¡ay! me siento abatido,
La niebla oscurece mi visión,
Y las fronteras de la tierra vuelvo a ver,
Las nubes me hacen retroceder.
¡Ay! La ley de la gravedad
Sólo hace valer su derecho,
Nadie puede escapar
Del curso terrestre.

No where else (I wanna be)

inspiration Flows ( Naviarhaiku 349 )

A track with heavy groove. This has a more rock feel. As allways your comments are appreciated. Enjoy.

Phenomenon

I'm a composer, working from a 3' x 5' studio (some may call it a dinette) in a 5th wheel camper, while traveling the United States. I've been on the road for six years, so most of my recent work will have come from a different state (of mind and location) during my travels.

Music makes me feel better about everything. I don't know that I'm ever happier than when I am creating. I sometimes wonder if creativity isn't one of the primary keys to happiness. Do you ever feel better than when you say, "Look what I did."? This phrase magically conjures the purest sense of childlike joy.

Music works for every part of our lives. We all have music for when we are sad, happy, celebrating, meeting others, when we are alone, and even when we are lonely. Did a song come to mind as you read each of those situations? I remember the first song I ever heard on the radio, on my first bus ride to kindergarten. One of my favorite musical memories is playing in a band for steel beach on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.

I love telling stories with music. Everybody loves John Coffey in the Green Mile, but Mr. Jingles should have a song commemorating his reaching and joining the circus at Mouseville. If you agree, join me for this and similar journeys. The music here is synthetic, but as real as you would choose to have it.

My music most often lands on Soundcloud first and is inspired by one of my favorite communities, Naviar Haiku:

I find writing to a Haiku prompt sufficiently limiting and exquisitely inspiring.
