The first written for my upcoming Time Machine EP with similar music to Enigma and Time Machine, the next track I composed after Drift.

Electro Chill Nu Jazz at 76 bpm

An original composition, no AI,  written digitally MIDI to DAW
………………………………
WORDS that I wrote upon listening to a pre-production mix but they don’t necessarily fit the music. Yet.

Oh
Drift away safely with your head up in the clouds
Yeah drift
Where luscious dreams of a beautiful life are allowed 
Encouraging 
Cosmic lullaby 
Rocking gently 
until you sigh

Drift
Later maybe?
No, commit, baby
Drift drift drift drift 
Drift until your mind shifts 

Nothing can steal your moment 
Remember to keep faith 
letting go to drift will show it 
Wise words sayeth 
As you believe — so go with it
That is how to achieve
Drift 
To know it
Drift 
Go with it 
Drift
Let yourself flow 
Safe in the 
Drift

ARTIST’S NOTE: 
I composed Drift one afternoon in May when I was literally adrift in disappointment, feeling low, uninspired, and fatigued. Empty. How could I create when I was so low? And a thought rang back answering like a bell  — just show up!

All I had to do, my inner voice told me, was show up, put your fingers on the keyboard for a moment. And I did, using the laptop’s built-in MIDI, selecting a VST called Cinema Strings, instinctively I hit an F6 chord — I have an affinity with the key of F because, as a student, I played French Horn, an F instrument. So I’m pressing the keys, and by a slow count of eight of the metronome’s clicks — bam! The music started playing in my head as if already written. I raced to unravel it in threads of melodies, searching for keys that matched what I was hearing in my mind’s ears.

The lesson for me as an artist is to remember to keep faith despite how I might feel. Because the music is waiting for a humble vessel. Just show up.

Some Positive Thought

Cosmic Pop

Swell

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Prompting Takes A Lot Of Skill

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

sleight of hand

Hi dear friends, I have updated this song before the Alaska meeting! Unfortunatly, there was no agreement on any kind of peace! It felt repulsive to see President P sitting and smiling while innocent civilians are being murdered in Ukraine even today August 18th.

The Founding Fathers

(Soon) 250 Years since founded
George invented honesty and on hearts he pounded
A deity this military man
Found independence for declaration

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

You stuck with George
Man of many tooth
First president for country that found youth
He led convention for constitution
You learned he didn't lie
Begin fake institution

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

Let's stick to the cronies
Vice 1 makes Potus
Revolution not televised
Bring the lawyer as lotus
From the board of war to man on top
John Adams shut you up
No sedition let rot

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

We are cruising with cronyism
Vice 2 moves to lead
Man of 600 slaves became voice of your seed
Author of independence forever on page
The smooth Thomas Jefferson slave loving sage

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

To.Madison, James
Well, He broke the Vice!
And championed well needed bill of rights
Unified colonies
To seperation of powers
Small liberations with left leaning vowers

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

Benjamin Franklin
Good saver of slaves
Good saver just after his fortune was made
Alexander Hamilton! Slave trade, just for family
Not a great look... Our image is gravity

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

John Jay got bank
Now, be gone with salvery
Don't worry boys
Slow abolition be savoury
The federalist papers
Written wide rights
Seven founding fathers are clear in our sights

And where are the mothers?
Still to this day
This country of me 
Chauvanism made way
Where is your lotus
Real truth for your POTUS
It's cavemen of Congress
Ever country dishonest

Happy quarter millennia day
Let's find that truthful USA
Happy quarter millennia day
Let's find that truthful USA

The Founding Fathers (V1)

Lyrics
Old Boy you took the road
down to late..
Old Boy your desert is cold.
you need to find your way

Its a game you play but you loose
anyway
Its a game you play but you loose
anyway

Its dark and you left you couldnt loose
Its a game you play
you failed again

Its a game you play but you loose
anyway
Its a game you play but you loose
anyway

Nothing is like it used to be
I walk to heaven and hell
Its a game we play I know you know
We play along to make this song 

Old boy you took the road down to hell
and old boy.. heaven wait..wait for em
..old boy

Old Boy
