Swimming through slanting summer sunbeams at a prisitine tropical cove

Aqueous Sunbeams

There's a feeling when driving certain stretches of desert around the early morning and late evening. Particularly high or mountain deserts, with their hidden features that unfold with every turn and roll with the land. The vast vistas stretching into the Sun's sets and rises. Clouds doing the many things clouds do. It's splendor and adventure and wonder.  That feeling is the inspiration of this track.

Cool Wind, Desert Drive

This track developed out of grappling with feelings about the pandemic, the suffering surrounding it and this year, with a faint hope of creating some healing, or at least some internal health and fortification.

This introspective song seeks to explode into personal transformation and resolution resulting in external actions.  Starts slow and builds and builds and finds peace.

What to Do

Heartfelt ragged raw rock about relationships.  May or may not be bluesy....

Don't Know Blues

A synthesis of the many disciplines I had developed at the time, around 2012.  Production, composition, guitar, psychoacoustics, and (for lack of a better phrase) sound healing.  It's steady, groovy, trippy, bluesy, gentle rockin', and very psychedelic.  And it's quite long for one track.  The beat stays fairly steady while themes of guitar interplay and production techniques provide the journey. I was studying the field of "Cymatics" at the time and attempted to use that information to embed "healing" frequencies.  So, if anyone notices that their scar tissues or symptoms of adhesion improve, please let me know.  As per their research validity I leave it to you (or a scientist friend) to check it out, as I'm only an armchair researcher.  But here's hopin'!! Enjoy :)

So Creaks My Radiant Heart

Craig Godfrey is an accomplished musician, composer, producer, audio engineer & sound healer. He has produced and performed both solo and in collaborations including The Checktones (with Brian Saitzyk/Eastern Sun), Four Eyed Whale (with Steven Anderson), and The Ramen Empire (with J.T. Carstarphen). His signature sonic creations are the fruition of 25+ years of artistic evolution, blending diverse influences and explorations: the unique sound of Four Eyed Whale combining indie rock and soul/r&b... the Checktones integration of sound healing and psychoacoustics with experimental electronic production and sound design.... his own fusion of punk/rock indie guitar feels with electronic beats and synths and soundscapes. Craig's growing solo catalogue also includes genre-defying cinematic pieces featuring guitar or piano, and otherwise melding traditional instruments with synths and electronic production, as well as studies in sound design for media. 

Recent works draw upon the eclectic influences of his childhood amid the music scenes of New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, and broader global travel (rock/punk/indie, bossa nova, electronica, soul, blues, and funk, jazz, classical, and American folk, among others). After studying guitar since the age of 12, he cut his teeth with his first rock/pop/punk band in Austin, TX in the mid-90s, before studying music at MI inn Hollywood.  Craig is inspired further by an immersion over the past two decades in rave, festival, and psychedelic art undergrounds, as well as in meditative, sound-healing, and teaching spaces, and his passion for media and narrative entertainment in all its forms.
