Hello, again. Hahaha! (^ - ^)v Look... The lyrics were inspired by paradoxes such as Schrödinger’s Cat. This song explores the tension between knowledge and ignorance, stasis and evolution, existence and doubt. Its structure shifts from reflective verses to powerful, anthemic hooks, creating a sonic way that challenges the listener to think, resist arrogance, and embrace resilience. With dynamic instrumentation and philosophical depth, Static ≠ Dynamic is both an intellectual and emotional experience — a fusion of science, philosophy, and raw musical energy. — As we say in Brazilian Portuguese: "Até mais," which means "See you later"/"またね".

Static ≠ Dynamic

A thunderous, cinematic Christian rock anthem built on pounding guitars, soaring vocals, and an urgent call to rise from the darkness. Break the Chains captures the tension between rebellion and redemption—where shadows whisper lies, hope flickers like neon, and weary hearts search for something real.

Layered with symphonic intensity and gritty, driving riffs, the track pushes forward with the raw emotion of spiritual battle and the unstoppable force of God’s pursuit. Each verse climbs from chaos to clarity, echoing the moment when light slices through the storm and chains finally break.

Bold, aggressive, and unapologetically uplifting, this song is a rallying cry for anyone fighting through doubt, struggle, or despair. When the last trumpet calls and the sky splits with His return, the truth still stands firm:
God is calling. His love is real. And He’s reaching for you.

If you’re drawn to powerful rock worship with cinematic punch and a message that hits the soul, this one’s for you.

LYRICS

CHORUS:
Just as you are and who you are and all you are - Be true. 	          You be you.

VERSE:
Be yourself, everybody else is taken. Even if it feels like fakin’ - you’ll get through.
Run your own race, don’t look over your shoulder. Someone always looks faster and bolder  -
 It’s not true. You be you.

CHORUS:
Just as you are and who you are and all you are - Be true. 	          You be you.

BRIDGE:
You were made in the image of God.
Don’t mean you won’t feel like a fraud.
That’s just part of the deal.
We all know how you feel!

VERSE:

Blessed are those who believe who haven’t seen. 
The rest of us asking what it means. 
Some have the gift of faith, some the gift of doubt. 
And if that’s you…                 let it out.
 		
Chorus:
Just as you are and who you are and all you are - Be true. 	          You be you.

Just as you are

When doubt overwhelmed St. Thomas, Christ met him with compassion. This sermon explores how Jesus meets us in our deepest uncertainties and transforms doubt into belief. 

Christ is Faithful, Are We?

An instrumental representing the feelings between two people who were once in a relationship, have met again and chatted about their combined past.

Were we in love

A hypnotic, emotional confession about falling for someone who feels ‘too perfect’—blurring fantasy and truth as desire overpowers doubt, and the dream becomes harder to resist.

Too Perfect

A reflective Christian country ballad that speaks directly to the searching heart. Built in a gentle 6/8 rhythm, this song opens with soft piano and finger-picked acoustic guitar, carrying a deep, soul-centered vocal that asks hard questions about faith, shame, and redemption. A mournful fiddle weaves between the lines, rising as the message turns from conviction to hope.

The chorus becomes a call to come forward — a reminder that grace is waiting, forgiveness is real, and no one has to remain in the shadows. As the song builds, layered harmonies lift the message higher, leading into an instrumental moment that feels like a prayer without words. The final chorus swells with assurance and peace, settling into a quiet, reverent close.

This is a song for anyone who has ever doubted, wandered, or longed for a fresh beginning — and discovered that redemption was always within reach.

Matthew 5:14–16
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Romans 1:16
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…”

1 John 1:6–7
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Psalm 42:1–2
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God…”

James 1:6–8
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting… he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind…”

Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

Why Do You Hide

i hope this is the song that gets me back into really making music. this is a song about self doubt, but also the desire to do and be better, to protect, to fix things.

coat of limitations v3

This harrowing track describes the peak of emotional manipulation, known as gaslighting. Set to a frantic and distorted Dark Blues rhythm, the song captures the protagonist's descent into self-doubt as he is convinced that his own intuition and memories are wrong. The 'Symphony' is the cruel, chaotic music played by the manipulator, who uses tears and victimhood to mask her actions, driving the protagonist into a state of profound psychological confusion.

The closing number of the Don't Blink modern folk Christmas musical. The narrator leads us in to the final chorus, with an instrumental break for all the bowing and such:

Lyrics:

Most excellent people!

If you see me, you might see me
On the outside of the frame
A kind of "also ran" - you might even know my name.

And me, I’m the one who made this orderly account - 
I hope you have found it orderly.

For it is unembellished and true, to the extent of my ability, to the testimony of each person
Who spoke to me of what they themselves experienced, and what they saw with their own eyes.

As you have no doubt heard it said, Jesus went on to do many other things.

So did everyone I spoke with.

So have you.

If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world 
would not have room to contain
The books that would be written.

As our days are too few to hear the stories that would be told.

Our breath too short 

to sing every song that would be sung…

CHORUS

There just might be a reason that all of us are here,
Even if we’re not the center of the story - nowhere near.
If you take a another look, take a moment, take two - 
You might see something that is true as true is true
You might see something for you.

Something for you (reprise)

"My Own Enemy" is a raw, introspective anthem about the relentless battle within. The lyrics dive deep into the chaos of self-sabotage, doubt, and inner conflict—painting a vivid picture of a mind at war with itself. Each verse captures the tension between vulnerability and resilience, while the chorus delivers the stark truth: “Nobody’s gonna save me from myself.”
Musically, the track mirrors this emotional turbulence with heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and a driving rhythm that feels like a heartbeat under pressure. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever faced their own demons and fought to break free—a cathartic release of pain, strength, and defiance.

descend to darkness and may the bridges burning light the way

Sharing years of my ideas, poems, quotes and thoughts through music. From my notes, to your ears.

I’m mainly a painter, although I can play simple tunes on the Guitar, Ukulele Charango and Keyboards; hence I think of my musical compositions as ‘sound paintings.’ When I’m creating a new piece I try to picture the scene and the emotions in my mind. The descriptions and the uploaded images are there to assist the listener to visualise my musical creation.  My view of any kind of art be it painting, sculpture or music, is that it should leave an impression, whether it is good or bad is up to the individual viewer or listener. The viewer/listener either likes it or not. I always have music playing (sometimes I even dance to the music) while I’m painting, as it keeps me in the mood of that particular artistic piece.  My main musical influences are Jean Michel Jarre, Frank Zappa, Los Calchakis, Tchaikovsky and The Rolling Stones. I also create small sculptural pieces, write poetry and short stories plus occasionally photography. . My artistic influences are Van Gogh, the Fauvists such as Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck, French and Nordic Impressionists namely Monet, Cezanne, Munch, Osslund and Erichsen.  Nolde, Kalella, Klimpt, Hokusai, Hundertwasser and  Wu Guangzong have also had an influence on my work.

🎧 Bartosz | The Recalibration Architect
Hello there! I create Cinematic Alternative music.

My sound is a constant motion across genres—from the heavy sub-bass of Dark Electro-Blues and the ambient space of Post-Rock, to the vibrant rhythm of Afro-Dance Pop.

The Mission: Every style serves a single, focused purpose: Mental Recalibration.

My work is rooted in deep psychology, exploring attachment patterns, healing trauma, and the journey from chaos to clarity. Each track is a deliberate protocol or map designed to guide the listener through a specific phase of this profound transformation.

💖 KEEP THE MUSIC GOING!
This music is a mission. The creation of these diverse soundscapes (albums like DATA SOUL and the Recalibration Protocol series) requires specialized equipment, cinematic mixing, and high-quality mastering across multiple stylistic boundaries.

Your direct support is essential for transforming these psychological concepts into fully realized audio experiences. Every donation, no matter how small, helps cover the critical costs of production. 😊

Most of my music centers on Jesus Christ and God’s amazing grace. I primarily write in the Country Christian style, but every now and then I like to branch out when the mood strikes. You might hear touches of alternative Christian rock (I did grow up in the ’60s and ’70s), contemporary gospel, or even a hint of bluegrass gospel along the way. From time to time, I also step outside faith-based music into modern bluegrass or country.

One of my current projects is an album inspired by poems I wrote to my wife while she was deployed during Desert Storm in 1991. After all these years, I’m finally adapting them into songs — a project that’s been close to my heart for decades.

I was fortunate to play bass and sometimes piano in my late teens and early twenties for a country gospel group known as The Gospel Crusaders. We performed primarily at churches across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Then life happened, and I stepped away from performing for almost 50 years. During this time, I started focusing more on writing lyrics and music. In 2017, I picked up my mandolin and joined God’s Country in Largo, Florida. The group disbanded in 2023 when several members moved out of state, but we’re planning a reunion performance in 2026.

Even when I venture beyond my main focus of sharing the gospel through song, I strive to keep my lyrics honest, heartfelt, and sometimes just plain fun. Believe it or not, I’m not in this to make money — I write as an outlet to share the stories and experiences of life over the past 70 years. I write the lyrics for most of my songs, though I’ve been blessed to collaborate with a few talented friends along the way.

I use Studio One to produce my music and have built a large library of loops over the years. Some vocals are mine; others are performed by friends. And yes, I also use AI-generated voices or enhancements to vocals when needed.  I am in my 7th decade on earth and my voice doesn’t have the range it once had, plus I don’t have immediate access to female vocalists.  There’s a lot of debate about AI in music, but for me, the goal has never changed — to spread God’s love and joy. Technology is simply a tool, much like the studio innovations that have shaped music for the past fifty years.

In today’s music, many well-known and touring artists now use pre-recorded tracks and digital stems during live concerts to fill out harmonies, recreate orchestral parts, or trigger sound effects — it’s all part of modern performance. Whether it’s a backing track on stage or an AI vocal line in the studio, the heart behind the music still matters most.

I don’t believe AI will ever replace real musicians, but those who learn to embrace it and use it to enhance their craft will continue to flourish in the music industry.

I play bass, trumpet, guitar, piano, mandolin, and I’m currently working to get up to speed on the fiddle. You may not agree with my take on AI, and that’s okay. My purpose isn’t profit — it’s to share the message of God’s love through whatever tools I have, whether that’s a guitar, a loop, or an algorithm that helps me clean up a mix.

As W. Edwards Deming once said,
“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.”

Technology will keep evolving, and so will we. My greatest hope is that one of these songs touches someone’s heart or makes a difference in their life. If God can use even one of them to do that, then I’ve accomplished what I set out to do.

God bless you all.
