A story from the future  (2024)

ETERNITY'S BREATH

Beyond eternity look what we  've missed,
We are looking like clouds ridding the mist
We thought it was all over and there is no return,
And now we wonder how not to pretend.

The doors are opening and light shall glow,
Illusion desperate to give us a bow,
Reality syndrome is hoping relief,
And our solar heaven ignites with belief.

We were born free
We were born free
Lets dive to this world free
Lets dive to this world free

Freeborn - Freeborn.

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, & production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum

This song began as one of Joe's catchy songs, originally written with all the instruments. He & SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani wrote the lyrics about becoming a musician. Joe offered this song to Josh who immediately shared it with the EC gang.
Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen then matched Tez's energy with guitar fills in the second half of the song. Then Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo, using an arpeggiator to get a kind of mechanical sound that matched the AI theme. Finally, one of our resident pros, Stephen, expertly mixed and mastered it. 
This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, & don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting it together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, & gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by Michele Ansani & Joe Stroffolino
Music by Joe Stroffolino (@joseph-stroffolino)

When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed & every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar & I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day & most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become an expert at your craft
(“Chorus”)
But now all it takes is two commands & an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum & sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe & beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine
I had a steady paycheck that could feed me 
And the record companies didn’t need me
In my fifties once again my musical juices started flowing
I bought the necessary equipment 
I was eager to get going
I recorded all my strumming & saved it onto my PC
The internet & technology were advancing rapidly
I took those special songs I’d written of which I was most proud
Posted them Instagram, You Tube, Tik Tok & SoundCloud
I asked myself if a tree falls in the forest & no one’s around
Does it make a sound?
(repeat “Chorus”)

Falsestart: beat, bass, synth

Well, fuck me.
Is there a way to extinguish the greed,
exploitation, injustice, inequality?
Start a revolution, kill the cause to find peace. 

Are we living
enslaved or free? 

Well, fuck me.
Is there a way to extinguish the greed,
exploitation, injustice, inequality?
Start a revolution, kill the cause to find peace. 

You are no one.
Just a cog in the machine. 

Well, fuck me.
Is there a way to extinguish the greed,
exploitation, injustice, inequality?
Start a revolution, kill the cause to find peace. 

Distractions.
Buy shit and watch our TV. 

Well, fuck me.
Is there a way to extinguish the greed,
exploitation, injustice, inequality?
Start a revolution, kill the cause to find peace. 

Amass debt to exist, live. 

Well, fuck me.
Is there a way to extinguish the greed,
exploitation, injustice, inequality?
Start a revolution, kill the cause to find peace.

well, fuck me (with Falsestart)

The Expansion of Infinity

In 2019, after releasing my single Distant Visions, a fan reached out and said:
“Almost sounds like something from a second interstellar suite.”

That one sentence stirred something in me. It took me back to The Maestoso Interstellar Suite—a work I originally released in 2006 and expanded into a double-disc experience for its 10-year anniversary in 2016. I began to ask myself: Is there more to explore in that soundscape? Could there be a continuation—not a sequel, but a new frontier?

At the time, I had also released a companion version of the suite: a more accessible, “radio edit” style reimagining called Singularities. It wasn’t just a shortened take—it was a different perspective. Like looking at a galaxy from another angle.

And now, Singularities has found its true home—as the next entry in a new, ever-evolving musical journey.

Welcome to Infinity

Infinity is more than a project. It’s a living archive. A space where reinterpretations and original compositions coexist. Ambient. Orchestral. Space-driven. Timeless. It has no definitive ending—only a series of unfolding volumes, each offering a glimpse into the same emotional cosmos from a different light.

Infinity Volume II – Singularities

This volume reintroduces the material from The Maestoso Interstellar Suite through a reframed lens: shortened, accessible, and arranged to stand on its own as individual pieces. If the Suite was a continuous voyage, Singularities is the constellation map—each track a star with its own identity, orbiting the same emotional core.

Originally created as an alternate listening experience, this version of Singularities now shines as a fully realized volume within Infinity. It respects its source material while offering something more focused—more immediate—without losing depth.

Where It’s Going

The Infinity series continues to grow. Each volume refines, reimagines, or reaches beyond what came before. And there’s more to come:

Infinity Volume I – The Maestoso Interstellar Suite

Infinity Volume II – Singularities

With each step, I revisit and reshape ideas I once thought complete. And with every new piece, I get closer to the sound I’ve always heard in my head—now finally possible with the tools I have today.

Maybe it’s unconventional. Maybe it’s a little obsessive.
But that’s Infinity—and it’s not supposed to end.
