タイムカプセル

That's right, I have a new axe...a Schecter. I never even considered one before. But, I saw great reviews(and it cost 1/3 the price my Les Paul) so I picked one up. I wrote this epic instrumental to give it a test drive. I cut the drum loops (and gave them that big 80s feel), used my LPs for the rhythm guitars, played bass, layered harmonies of the Schecter's sweet, singing tone for the chorus and let 'er rip on some lead and Floyd Rose dive bombs. Such a fun guitar to play!

Dawn of a New Blade

Старатели (Gold Diggers)

1.Утро только затеяло новый рассвет,
   Ну а нас в лапах сна уже нет,
   Заломив папироску, привычно идём 
   В направлении обычном своём.

   Где-то там далеко спят ещё города,
   Солнце позже приходит туда.
   Где-то, Где-то, Где-то 
   Там страна, там большая земля,
   Ну а здесь хаты из горбыля.
	
2.За спиной инвентарь свой нехитрый несём,
   Чтобы мыть золотишко в реке.
   Мужиков бородатых скупой разговор,
   То и дело, о весовщике.

   В прошлый раз он Прокопию не засчитал
   Целых пять потом политых грамм,
   Что пришлось не по нраву не только ему,
   Но и нам, его близким друзьям.

ПРИПЕВ                
   А ведь мы не подарок, народ мы лихой,
   Закалённый, как сталь, Колымой!
   День придёт - мы своё по любому вернём,
   И наступит рассвет золотой!
 
3.Нас тайга неохотно встречает порой,             
   Шлёт на нас комаров и клещей. 
   Ну а леший густой свой туман колдовской
   Над болотами стелет злодей.

   Наш характер суров, знает даже медведь -  
   Ему лучше с тропинки сойти,
   Если видит старателей тех, что идут
   Золотишко искать у реки.

ПРИПЕВ                
   Так как мы не подарок, народ мы лихой,
   Закалённый, как сталь, Колымой!
   День придёт - мы своё непременно возьмём,
   Нам воздастся за труд наш с лихвой!
     И наступит рассвет золотой.
        Мы увидим рассвет золотой.

Старатели - Gold Diggers

Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human

King

We have condensed the oldest and longest (at 13,000+ words) poetic drama ever composed, entitled the Epic of Gilgamesh. 

The Epic is about the first and original hero ...of those “with a thousand faces”, the term coined by the mythologist Joseph Campbell, to indicate that there were more mythological heroes who underwent similarly challenging rite-of-passage quests after Gilgamesh. There were heroes like Hercules, Jason, Theseus and Odysseus, Buddha, Pinocchio in fact, and even Bob Dylan sung of his own hero's journey in his song Isis on the album Desire. King Arthur and Merlin also undertook a heroic quest in the Celtic myths, a sea voyage around the pole stars. 

But Gilgamesh is the prototype, and his epic journey requires him to “tread the rim of the wheel”. In my book, Stories in the Stars, I re-interpret the translations of the cuneiform on the Babylonian tablets to show that this "wheel's rim" symbolises the ring of the zodiac constellations in the stars, and so that’s also reflected in our track.
 
I’m very grateful to @APi_ZZ for providing such a captivating and inspiring soundscape to accompany Gilgamesh's stellar journey.

It's Late, Think I'll Walk [Acoustic Improvisation No. 3]

I’d like to wish merry Christmas to you
But if they'd prefer, happy holidays too
Good tidings to all and too all a good night 
Many years up ahead. It’s  a wonderful life
Hold the people we treasure. All others, let’s grow 
Tranquility brought with fresh fallen snow 
And wisdom to discern what’s wrong from what’s right
And peace at the end, when we pass into light 
Let's not covet lies, sincerity blossoms 
Then our hearts will go out with love and compassion 
Let us not get wrapped up, it’s only a life 
To dust we return in ordinary time

A Christmas Wish List For Santa

This started as a small mini-theme for my Instagram and I expanded it for a minor release.  I was working on creating a synth-wave template for Ableton and, because my brain doesn't allow me to not make something when exploring new sounds, this is what came about.  I still haven't made the template. 

I've been spending a bunch of time doing not music-related items (research, technique tutorials, etc) and it's been more difficult to focus on releases now that I am trying for social media content.  

Gotta try to find that balance.

Taking It In

Changes - A Pop Rock Journey of Embracing the Unexpected

Sometimes, the best moments in life come from the changes we can’t control. Changes is a high-energy pop rock track that captures the beauty of embracing life’s unpredictable shifts. Built on four distinct hooks—an intricate dual guitar strumming groove and three vocal motifs—this song is all about letting go, moving forward, and discovering something amazing along the way.

🎸 The Story Behind Changes

This song was born from a live demo on Jacktrip, where I was showcasing my typical composing workflow. The foundation started with a layered acoustic guitar collage using the Ample Guitar plugin, setting the stage for the opening vocal line to naturally emerge. As the track took shape, an unexpected but magical moment happened—Solaria’s vocal scat, a spontaneous addition, became a defining element of the song.

At its core, Changes reflects the personal and creative growth that occurs when we surrender to the unknown. The rhythmic interplay of the two acoustic guitars represents the duality of change—sometimes harmonious, sometimes conflicting, but always pushing forward. The vocal hooks, carefully woven into the arrangement, act as guideposts through the emotional landscape of the track, echoing the ebb and flow of transformation.

Solara’s vocal scat wasn’t planned—it simply happened in the moment. This unfiltered expression perfectly embodied the essence of Changes: the beauty of spontaneity and the surprises that come when we trust the creative process. In that sense, Changes is more than just a song; it’s a testament to the way music, much like life, evolves beyond our expectations.

🌤 A Visual Journey

The music video for Changes brings its themes to life with "concrete abstract" imagery—clouds drifting in the wind, forming fleeting pictures in the sky, only to disappear and make way for new ones. This visual metaphor highlights the impermanence of moments and the joy found in experiencing them while they last. Just as the sky is constantly shifting, so too are we, and rather than resisting, we can choose to move with the change.

The color palette of the video reflects this free-spirited energy, incorporating warm, nostalgic hues that evoke a happy, flower-child feel. It’s a visual representation of the optimism and liberation that comes with embracing life's twists and turns.

🎶 For Fans Of:

Changes (Demo 20250218)

There was a country, there was a city, and there was a people, who were widely known for their wealth and powerful gods. But they angered their gods with their bad behavior, so the gods decided to wipe them off the face of the earth.
Yes, the story of Atlantis has many interpretations, just like this musical interpretation of what happened on that fateful day. To this day, there are many who believe that Atlantis actually existed in our world, but no one has been able to prove it with certainty.

What do you think? Did it really exist, or is it just a moral tale?
Regardless, the fairy tale is a story that gets the imagination flowing, and we hope this little piece gets your imagination flowing too.

We suffer no shortage of terrible and terrifying events for humanity, whether it is our earth that produces them, or that human souls have created and continue to create them in their dismal imperfection.

We who have pondered, talked and created are;

Sooner  or  later,  sooner  or  later,
Let the engines glow,  3  2  1  let's  go
Sooner  or  later,  we'll  head  for  the  stars,
We've  been  to  the  Moon,  got  a  date  set  for  Mars,
Space  exploration,  to  places  afar,
Sooner  or  later  we'll  go,  no doubt  about  it  I   know
Space  exploration,  creates  fascination
Planets  beyond  our  Sun,  we  can't  be the only one
Out  there  beyond  the  stars  we  can  see,
Light  years  away,  lots  more  galaxies,
Head  for  the  future,  for  our  destiny,
Sooner  or  later  we'll  go,  no doubt  about  it  I   know
Alien  creatures,  might  even  reach  us,
From  planets  beyond  our  Sun,  we  can't  be  the  only  one
The  stars  that  we  see  are  just  suns  in  the  skies,
On  some  distant  planets  not  seen  by  our  eyes,
We've  got  to go  out  there,  to  enlighten  our  lives
Sooner  or  later  we'll  go,  no doubt  about  it  I   know
Sooner  or  later,  sooner  or  later,      
The  journey  has  just  begun,
Travelling  beyond  our  Sun,      
The  journey  has  just  begun,            
Sooner  or  later, sooner  or  later, we'll  go

Sooner or Later

Imodium

Having to destroy yourself in order to begin again.
From the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Bandung, sea of flames
In 1946, the people of Bandung Indonesia
They had risen up against their British oppressors
Realizing that their army was weaker
And much less powerful
They decided to abandon the city
They adopted a scorched earth policy as they left the city
Burning the city to the ground
And one day start again...

Bandung, sea of flames

Bandung, Sea Of Flames
