Take It My Friend

"Obsidian Reflections" serves as a symphonic fresco, encapsulating the essence of obsidian chrysalis within a modern orchestra. Inspired by the dual nature of this intriguing rock, the composition unfolds as a singular journey, transitioning from somber reflections on ecological challenges to an optimistic embrace of transformative potential.
The music, devoid of distinct movements, seamlessly progresses from dark, mysterious tones to luminous and hopeful harmonies. This symphonic narrative reflects the metaphorical journey from shadows cast by environmental concerns to the intrinsic human ability to find light amidst darkness.
Obsidian, with its smooth texture, serves as a metaphor for resilience and transformation, echoing qualities within both the natural world and ourselves. "Obsidian Reflections" is a continuous musical dialogue, exploring the delicate balance between despair and hope. It invites listeners to reflect on our interconnectedness and inspires a shared commitment to nurturing a brighter, more sustainable future.

The Score won the 1st Prize at the 6th Swiss International Music Competition in Lugano on April 2024

Using Dorico 5 and BBC Symphony Orchestra Library.

Name That Tune #527 by Mariah Carey

Don't talk
Don't talk
Don't talk
Don't talk
Don't talk
It's pathologic

Don't think
Don't think
Don't think
Don't think
Don't think
It's pathologic

The written word is the path to logic
It's pathologic
The path to logic
The written word is the path to logic
It's pathologic

I'm artificial
You're artificial
It's artificial but we think that it's real
And I'm a fake
But you're a phony
It's all fake but we think that it's real
I'm superficial
You're superficial
It's official we're super real
It's pathologic
Our path to logic
The path to logic's pathologically real

We pierced the veil
We took the knowledge
We made a deal with the queen of the dead
Our Ignorance is now begotten
We broke our deal with the queen of the damned and now we're gone

The time it takes
The time it took
The time ya make you can't make anymore
Now it's cannon
It fits the lore
The path to logic lies dead on the floor

We pierced the veil
We took the knowledge
We made a deal with the queen of the dead
What we know is now forsaken
We broke our deal with the queen of the damned and now we're gone

Now I got the carbrain
Gonna drive in the fast lane
Join the race
Join the suiciety
Cause I like the way you lie to me
Oh, hit the highway
Feel the roadrage
We made a deal with the queen of the dead
We pierced the veil
We took the knowledge
We broke our deal with the queen and now we're damned

The first thing you should know about my music is that most of the tracks do not fit nicely into any specific genre. The rap songs have electronic and rock influences with plenty of bass distortion which oftentimes causes me to split my vocals into 3 tracks with a center and 2 panned in order to add effects that meld in but allow the dry to remain intelligible. The reason I do this is so they almost play more like a syth that sits on top of the music vs something that stands apart from it. I know this is unusual and not something mainstream but I hope that as you listen to my stuff you love it.

Right now I'm creating music from all genres as well as going back and remixing/mastering previous tracks I've released on SoundClound but haven't finished. I see no reason to corner myself creatively into a box just because marketing, branding, and advertising says I should. I'd rather experiment with new design, arrangements, sounds, etc to see how I can push the envelope. I hold nothing back in my songs. I will say whatever I feel like that song needs to say and do it knowing it is merely an expression or reflection of what I was trying to capture at the moment, whether a tribute to an old school style or a hybrid mix of unique styles. My influences include, 90s Rock, Grunge, Metal, Rap, H-town Rap, R&B, 80s music, EDM, Country, John Mayer, Incubus, Mars Volta, Paul Wall, Chamillionair, Trillville, 50, Eminem, Nirvana, AIC, Slipknot, Skrillex, Chainsmokers, etc
