#84 SHANNON HARRIS (March 23 2023)

The second single to come from musclecars’ debut LP “Sugar Honey Iced Tea!” is a transcendent sonic masterpiece by the name of “Ha Ya! (Eternal Life)”. This captivating broken beat, Afro-jazz composition delves into the enigmatic realms of the afterlife, offering a mesmerizing exploration of what lies beyond our mortal existence.

A nod to the Clark Sister’s original tune bearing the same title, “Ha Ya! (Eternal Life)” gracefully unfolds with the captivating vocal performance by German Jazz Award Winner, Natalie Greffel. Chanting the same spiritual tongues of the original, the vocal arrangement seamlessly invokes profound feelings of devotion and endurance. Paired with a phenomenal flute solo from Underground System’s Domenica Fossati, and a transcendent string ensemble, the track's intricate rhythms and soulful melodies serve as a portal to a realm where the afterlife is painted in hues of cosmic wonder.

This sonic revelation is more than a tribute to the afterlife; it's a celebration of life's continuity beyond death. musclecars’ evocative storytelling through sound invites audiences to ponder the echoes of their own existence, finding solace in the idea that life persists through the legacy of their passion, devotion, and profound connections.

Releasing as a digital single, “Ha Ya! (Eternal Life)” serves as an enticing precursor to the forthcoming vinyl LP release "Sugar Honey Iced Tea!" scheduled for May 2024. This Jazz odyssey offers a glimpse into the diversity of musclecars' highly anticipated debut album, seamlessly blending House to Techno, to Soul and Jazz, to R&B, to Ambient, and beyond. Crafted with meticulous artistry, the album transcends musical boundaries, providing a sonic journey for both the dance floor and introspective contemplation. As a harmonious convergence of the music genres that inspire them, Brandon Weems and Craig Handfield invite listeners to explore the rich tapestry of black experiences embedded within its musical narrative.

musclecars - Ha Ya! (Eternal Life) (Shannon Harris' A Love 4 Joy Journey Mix)

Wow, thanks to cranke99 on youtube for posting a lost gem.  This DJ mix has lost unreleased music that I created in the early 2000's.  I have found the unreleased long version of "Gyenyame" but not the BESE SAKA.  I gave a copy to Joe Claussell who played it in a mix back in the day.  Other than that no one has it.  Enjoy the ride as David Chavez and myself take you on a journey through Deep House sounds!

The Jazzical Moods Series:

Jazzical Moods is a series of eclectic sessions inspired by World Jazz Fusion. In the 1990s, in response to live jazz, world music, and jazz fusion not being considered as a DJ dance music form unless remixed or edited, I seek to showcase the art of DJing live instrumentation musical forms that embody time shifts and human improvisation. This is my latest edition of a 25+ year tradition. Enjoy the ride! Rare groove warning!!

Jazzical Moods  - Dj Shannon Harris - Cosmic Eargasm

Let me begin by saying I have been fasting since 11/11 from many different things, including my online presence. During my pre-winter solstice prep, I have engaged in intimate meditations leading to revelations. Sentience Divine is a byproduct of the root work I have immerse myself in. It is my first time featuring a full album with my custom designed Trichord instrument. I am playing everything on the entire project. The project features Sacred Sounds for SELF-Care and Relaxation. The sound quality is of top high fidelity. 

REDESIGN

My custom Trichord instrument that is a one sided Kotamo (koto, tanpura, monochord) is the featured instrument on every project. I requested special modifications to the Trichord that enables me to perform with it in unique ways. I created custom VST instrument sound design in conjunction with using special triggering technology to turn the Trichord into a synthesizer. I call this technique the Monochord WaveWash©. You can experience the Monochord WaveWash© on “Samadhi Dreams”, “Saucha”, and “Amani”. Another custom boutique instrument used during this recording experience was an air synthesizer that uses ultrasonic technology. You can witness it on “Feelings of Being” and “Amani”.

RESEARCH

My first introduction to the Kotamo was through the work of Fabien Maman during my research in alternative sound therapies. The surmountable science based research he provides for uses of sound, Qi Gong, medicinal music, and frequency lead me to explore harmonic, overtone, chord, and string instrument theory. Recently, I came across the monochord music album of the late Sonia Slany who I learned used the monochord in the sound score of one of my favorite films, The Lord of the Rings. I enjoy The Lord of the Rings series so much because of both the sound design of the monochord and the broader message of using coexistence and cooperation to overcome challenges.

Listen and purchase the full project on bandcamp!
