Another awesome electronic collaboration with David a.k.a. @blackmarketbrains ! I love his minimal techno beats so asked him to send me one that included one of his cool old movie samples.I was inspired right away to lay down some melodic loops and even a bit of guitar.

Synesthesia

Thank you very much for always paying attention to my track and taking the time to do so.  
I am always grateful.Forgiveness. 
The forgiveness of sins. People do not forgive others' sins! But if you dwell on it, you will be destroyed. See people with a broad perspective!
Your embracing love erases sin.

just a little improvisation in two layers, keyboard first, sopranosax on top :-)

THE DARK SIDE OF THE EARTH


Thank you very much for always paying attention to my track and taking the time to do so.  
I am always grateful.
In outer space, sound cannot travel. Yet surely the stars whisper to each other—about what, I wonder? About noisy planets like Earth! If no whispers could be exchanged in the cosmos, how would humans communicate?
If telepathy were our means of communication, we could connect through our true hearts and face each other as our authentic selves. That would be wonderful. It might require a little practice to interact with our unvarnished selves!
‘Which moment from your past does this song remind you of?’

The Space Of Tranquility

Does mystical materialism exist? Is it a trend or a concept yet to be explored? Are new products being created under this label? We don't know anything about it here, but we've imagined that such a thing might eventually exist, though we don't know if it's for better or worse.

Approaching Mystical Materialism

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt challenged us to a duel with a metronome: record a piece of music that weaves in and out of a steady beat. 

I assembled a trio comprising the Moog Minitaur (lead and bass), Roland Juno (pads), and Waldorf Streichfett (strings). I improvised a meandering chord sequence and spent a lot of time mixing multiple layers of analog pads to bring it to life. Against the steady backdrop of a simple percussion pattern, I recorded the lead performance on the Minitaur. Since this synth doesn't sync to the MIDI clock on the computer, riding the LFO controls manually let me improvise the swirling/cycling/beating patterns that dance within, against, and without the beat. 

About the vocals: When I was listening to the mix earlier today, I heard a momentary audio artifact that sounded like a muffled voice. This inspired me to add a vague vocal part for way back in the mix, so recorded myself reading an excerpt from "A Vision of the Night" by Ambrose Bierce.

Intro

Pills and Tripping

I'm glad you found my music.
I've always wanted to express the music deep in my heart.
My music is music that overflows from the album jacket.
My music will light up a projector of your memories.
It's like finding your old album!
And above all, I hope I can make you all happy.
