MY SONIC ODE JOURNAL

A peek into my insides - My musical expression far outclasses my writing ability. So I decided to have a musical journal, in which I fill the pages with musical pieces which truly express my feelings and/or experiences on those particular days I'm overwhelmed with emotion. 

The pure essence of my innermost is preserved in these pages, as I sit down, press record and let my hands turn my most noteworthy life experiences into RAW sound with all the "mistakes" and ill-sequencing unedited.

To mark the beginning of this journey, I put down what will most likely be my most memorable page of the Sonic Ode Journal, Page 1 entitled Midnytblu.

Sonic Ode Journal - Page 2 [Twinkle Tower]

Not as jaunty as the heading suggests. Created between a rock and "some place" (not sure where), this sonic ode journal entry is a journey inside the lonely fantasy castle I built for myself as an escape from all persistent sources of negativity surrounding me. Surrounding us all.

The castle is built on shaky ground, high up in a body of dark clouds. It is rather crooked yet manages to stand firm. Closely listen from the beginning of the track (doorway), close your eyes and imagine you are walking throug a well-lit, cracked hallway as you nvigate through the castle; ascending an uneven, poorly constructed labyrinth of stairwells...There's not even a single door in sight - apart from the entrance - until you reach that ONE door left ajar and behind it you find a room with no walls, filled with clouds. Then ushered in by the sound of a distant electric guitar, you are struck by a weak updraft, yet it is strong enough to lift you. An old light-skinned man with no face is miraculously plsying the instrument. As he taps his scrawny left foot, you take flight, towards a dark spot in the distance, it grows larger and larger as you approach and.......

My Sonic Ode Journal. RAW sound | LOST in emotion | ill-sequencing and "mistakes" intact | I just press record and get down to it.

When you find that inner-self within, some happy naturally-high being and you find it's hard to catch up with that "REal you".

Small upbeat tune with a playful melody, just for smiles! :)
