We Are Shadows On the Wall

A multi layered first draft piano piece. 

This is how all my music begins as a piano track that is then altered twisted and corrupted to become something new. I had this idea after a chat with 
the amazing singer songwriter, musician. Kate Stanton, not about failure but about being kind to yourself. I think we can all do that give yourself a break. we're all special humans.

You should be upbeat about your failures

Story:
Notorious Ninja

Story Setting:
No Shadow Man was tormented. Everyone seemed to forget his existence, and Phat Cats were no exception.

One day, No Shadow Man hears rumors about a legendary ninja known as Notorious Man. Despite being a ninja meant to stay unseen, Notorious Man lived up to his name, being infamous. It was said that he possessed a ninjitsu that could alter his own and others' presence. No Shadow Man thought that if he could meet Notorious Man, perhaps his own presence could be amplified.

On a certain day, following a rumor, No Shadow Man finds Notorious Man at a casino he had decided to visit. It was an easy spot. Not exactly stealthy like a Ninja Turtle, but here he was in all his flashy appearance. "This guy’s ridiculous, standing out like a sore thumb!", thought No Shadow Man.

"Fine. I'll enhance your presence. But only if you beat me at roulette," Notorious Man, clad in flashy red ninja attire with a flushed, drunken face, declared.

Thx..SqulGGod, for your sample I built the song up with.

A touch of Infinite Nothingness

Digital Dope With A Touch of Infinite Nothingness

Our 23 year old kitten just transitioned to 2.0 Sad for the Ego, but champagne for those who gradually understand. Strange anecdote for which I have no explanation: The Rigor Mortis set in several times, but then miraculously she suddenly stumbled to her drinking bowl. And the best part: I had direct contact with 2.0 by looking into her eyes. Pure fixation and then a bright shining light in her pupils as the light grew bigger and bigger. My body began to shake violently and I felt a cold breeze. And my mother, well, she died at the same time, the same day. I felt all the presences and was completely ZEN. And then just cry like a baby, not from sadness, but from intense Love. A good inspiration for the title for a next song or album: Gloomy - The Onion Of Love (inspired by the song "the look of love".) Yes, yo let the tears flow... batteries for your Power. Love, Jan.

RustyMonk | Musician. Storyteller. Wanderer of Sound.

Raised on the soul of classic rock, the pulse of old-school hip-hop, and the dreamscapes of synth-driven electronica, my music is a fusion of the past and future. I blend folk guitar, analog drums, keys, synth and atmospheric textures to build sonic landscapes that feel lived in—because they are.

I don’t chase genres. I follow emotion.

Each track I create is a memory in motion, stitched from heartache, hope, and raw human experience. From high school choir harmonies to dusty home studio nights, music has always been my compass.

In a world spinning with chaos, I believe in the power of sound to ground us—reminding us that kindness, connection, and authenticity matter. No shame, no masks. Just truth set to rhythm.

🎶 Life is a song. Sometimes gritty, sometimes golden. But always ours to write.

Thanks for listening, sharing, and walking this path with me.
🩵 Much love,
RustyMonk ©️2025
