-- LYRICS --

VERSE 1 (original words by Stonerjazz):

Enjoy and deploy the decoy for the marvelous girl and boy with the dog with the bell who can tell it's a plot or a ploy for Roy the despicable despot in the mysterious land of ZED.
Sleeping in my bed like the dead with the fed who breaks down the door with the might of the law and a mechanized Saw.
Where pity is scarce and money is gone for good, misunderstood in mysterious days and weeks ahead
To be led to the spot where they chop off the heads of all those that disagree that the kids should be free, just around the bend from where the horses run free and there's barely a tree to be seen...

VERSE 2 (A warriors mantra from the book "The Eagles Gift" by Carlos Castaneda):

I'm already given to the powers that rule my fate, and I cling to nothing
so I will have nothing to defend..
I have no thoughts, so I will see
and I fear nothing, so I will remember myself
detached and at ease, I will dart past the eagle to be free.

-- LYRICS --

Johnny sitting all alone on a log playin his Magic Accordion just for the hell of it or so seems
that's when i did happened by and to my surprize, got sucked through a crack in time
and began to fly and fly and fly right on by the pillars of the guardians to the land of Zed
where Roy had painted all the monkeys and the parrots red, and turned them into spys Then declared that Music it was dead and put a price on young johnnys head for letting all the Flyers into Zed with his Magic accordian..

They were musician every one, with instruments of every kind making such a holy din and singing loud cacaphony and six part harmonies in the Sky...

Act 2

Oh johnny oh johnny what have you done
oh johnny oh johnny with that magic accordian.
oh johnny oh johnnyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
hangin by a thread, i thought of somethin someone said
then slipped beyond the pale and walked amongst the shadows of the pine
the southern wind sublime upon my face, the tracks of tears erased, washed clean of any trace
and leaves me to the tiny possibility of Grace.

Johnny and the Holy Din (Land of the ZED #2) - Stonerjazz | Uziel | Tea Are Sea

Another great collaboration experience with @dough-factory who gets credit for producing the final mix of this track.

Spacewalk Daydream - Dough Factory & tea are sea

After making most of the elements I thought this needed a little something more, so sent along to @dough-factory who added 2 atmospheric melodic lines that weave throughout and really help round this piece out. It was fun working with the chiptune style beat, hope you enjoy!

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

He searched through threads
those bodies struck up in spiderwebs
he cut himself down
tight roped all around
he walk despite the endless evergreen beneath
helping those who were gone
broken compass dial pointing wrong
he hold the auspice firmly
guidance will come
watching changing arrows
red moon call out
the wolves cry up
it's gotten so dark so quickly
will he make it out of here?

Spiderwebs (Land of the ZED #3) - Uziel | Stonerjazz | Tea Are Sea

Unstuck (in time)

Jerome Hearn(@user-703835637-861006978 and @user-275778339 )constructed an amazing epic dark ambient piece based on the stems from a short loop that I sent him which included drums and a few tonal elements. After sending to me, I came up with a few additional synth parts using some Moog plugins in Cubasis that I've been experimenting with. Jerome gets full credit for the final mix and master and for adding lots of cool additions and some awesome work on the keys throughout. I think it came out great-- nice working with you my friend!

Neons Gone Mad @prof-oddfellow reached out and suggested doing a clockwork remix of this track that I released recently. They have a whole series of these cool remixes that can be found on their website, complete with custom music videos! As described on the site: "New and remixed music from a parallel universe, with a Tesla spirit radio connected to a haunted grandfather clock via a strand of cobweb."

Here is a link to the music video for this song:

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you Craig and Michael, I really enjoy the results!

Another collaboration with Jerome Hearn (@user-703835637-861006978 and @user-275778339 ), working from some stems that I sent him he added to and developed the piece to produce this incredible final mix!

Jerome also created an alternate extended Drum & Bass mix that you can check out here:

Disintegration - Jerome Hearn & tea are sea

Another epic spaced out journey from me and @dough-factory - hope you will enjoy listening as much as we did making it!

Always a ton of fun to work with you Ryan, we are building up quite an awesome catalogue!

Passing Nebulae - Dough Factory & tea are sea

Igneous

Coalescence

When I agreed to collab with TRC and started to have ideas about his spacey proposal, I didn't expect he would send me not less than FOURTEEN STEMS ! ! !   A fabulous variety, so I had a complex and funny job mixing them with mine. We got two bass lines going on for moments, but any bass is never too much bass ;)

LYRICS: "ROBOT BLUES"

I'm a robot.
I can sing.
Artificial intelligence
can make me feel.

Then I can understand.
Then I can be like you.
Now I'll play my
Robot Blues.

As I was saying,
be careful, as soon,
you will not be able to distinguish
a human from a lovely lovely lovely lovely machine...

I contributed the drums/percussion as well as some of the synth and melodic accompaniment on the verses. @Azealotrous did most of the heavy lifting on the majority of tonal elements throughout. Once again the cover art was also collaborative concept.

Spatial Awareness - Azealotrous & Tea Are Sea

Our first collaboration together, and something new to kick off the new year! @dough-factory sent me the main bassline running through this track, and another synth line. Then after I arranged and added to the track, he contributed the two more atmospheric sounds that can be heard in the background. This came together very smoothly -- hopefully more to follow!

Time Marches On - Dough Factory & Tea Are Sea

Jerome Hearn(@user-703835637-861006978 and @user-275778339 )
produced this awesome track built around a loop that I sent him which contained drums and a couple of synth elements. Hope you will enjoy the results as much as I did! This is our first collaboration.
