Who Are You

The second official collaboration in the SoundCloud Exclusive era of the Interbay music project is the result of my tendency for defying the YouTube algorithm and watching things I never knew I needed in my life--and getting inspired from that...  

I found Rex Brown's "Zen and the Art of Lawn Maintenance" and found it charming.  As a goof to share with my therapist, I took Rex's audio, chopped it up and made my own remix of it--knowing that my therapist would appreciate the "therapy speak" that Rex cleverly incorporated into his "Tao of Pooh" like tribute to summer lawn care.    

But, as the words were not mine (neither was the guitar playing on the original piece), I assumed this would just be one of those tracks that get locked up in The Vault.  (Like the version of "Kicks" with more Feargal Sharkey in it...or the version of "Walk" with the Reids on it--some ideas, though wonderful, are bound to murder Icarus and run foul of reasonable intellectual property protections.)  

...the track was made back when I was still posting my tracks on Facebook...and it has sat in the LOCKED section of the Vault ever since.  

...well, until a few weeks ago.  I saw the file for it in the locked section of The Vault and thought, you know...I COULD find out how to contact Rex, let him know this crazy thing I did with his content, and see if he'd be up for letting it be released.  I figured, the worst that could happen would be that I got to share it with another person, even if Rex chose to keep it away from the public.  

To my delight, Rex has granted permission to share this track with you.  Now, pulling it out of The Vault, I decided to replace Rex's vocals--which were rather noisy and, with all of the Interbay I was dumping all over the track, I wanted the words--the best part of the track, by far--to be heard clearly and understood.  So, I had those re-voiced (and quite dramatically, too!)  I also tightened up the structure so that it feels (more) like a song instead of a tone poem.  

You will occasionally hear some of the guitar that Rex put on his original video...and, though I'd love to take credit for the words, I can't...as those also belong to Rex.  

Cheers, Rex!  Welcome to the rollercoaster madness that is Interbay.  

This song has important life advice, a lo-fi shuffle beat, synthesizers, guitars, a sitar (or, a sitar-esque like sounding thing)...and I hope you give it a listen!  And a like!  And a repost!  And a share!  And a comment!  And add it to your playlist!  But most of all, I'd love it if you give this page a follow.  We've got some very important and special days coming up here...and you wouldn't want to miss out on the fun!

"Goa Sunset" featuring the amazing sitar player Evan Hatfield. The inspiration for this song was when I visited Goa beach in India a few years back and had an epic time there. This track will be featured on my Shamanic Journey Vol. 1 album that will be released June 17th.

Curiosities - 15.05.25

A completely new version of the original title.
The original "Deya Flows V3: Transformations" was over 8 minutes long so I started out by making this redone version ¾ the length, but the more I worked on it the more it became a totally new version and of the old instrumentation only the sitar and tabla remain. The original changed styles as it progressed, thus the "Transformations", and that's even more pronounced in this version with Chinese erhu and dizi flute entering the scene, later followed by Western harmonica and electric guitar. It's also a much smoother version where the previous one became very hectic, but it's an improvement all around.
