Home recording of Chris and Jonathon Brenner. Yes we are actual brothers.

Mean Old World

This was written in 2006 (re-recorded in 2023) with a genuine sense of gratefulness towards some key friends back then, girlfriends in particular, still around, whom at that time I had around me a lot, a time when I wasn't so adept at problem-solving relatively simple life challenges, when I think back.

Anyway, having gotten a good deal older, and having listened to this just recently, and while re-recording it, it occurred to me that I must have at times been an enormous weight on the shoulders of some of my friends - something of an energy vampire, without meaning to be.    A certain amount of arrested development in my case, perhaps!   I had my good points, certain aspects of attraction, I was young and charismatic, most of the time, however, I must have really been a drain on occasion.   

Weirdly I go on about nourishment at some point, and hunger, so maybe I was thinking of myself as an energy vampire when I was writing it, though I doubt it.  

My artwork is, as you may have guessed, a prompt-generated AI smash-up that I quite like.  Generated by my own prompts.  Took me ages to get something I liked!

Quite an unusual song structure for me A B C A B C D E F C D E (something like that).  

Lyrics

Song from an Energy Vampire (or the Luckiest Man Alive)

I fall to safety again
Into the arms of a friend
When I feel lost
They’ve got me spotted

The eyes of one of many angels that guard me
Taking time to help me through what could harm me
When I think of all the strength that they give me
I am the luckiest man alive

More than the guy with money to burn
That’s just a piece of what I have learned

Love has no bounds
It gets me around
I’ve got the view
When I sometimes loose

They’re just a call away and I could feel better
I don’t need them to write it down in a letter
Just a word or two and I will know better
That I’m the luckiest man alive

More than the guy who only feels worth
When tied to the money and homes he has earned

***

Oh oh and I am blessed by my ladies
Oh oh and I am best when they take me

Into the arms of their loving smile
It’s all I need to feel unchanging
In the waves of the coming tide
I’m swept aside, and I’m the luckiest man alive

I’ve been drinking on their healing water
I am nourished by the well of another
When they're around I never feel hunger
I am the luckiest man alive

More than the guy with money to burn
That’s just a piece of what I have learned

Oh oh and I am blessed by my ladies
Oh oh and I am best when they take me

Into the arms of their loving smile
It’s all I need to feel unchanging
In the waves of the coming tide
I’m swept aside, and I’m the luckiest man alive

Reworked with a less repetitive baseline, and added some analog clicks. 

You're The Best Thing Out There (awaiting fall version)

"The 33rd Degree" opens with a gentle cascade of ambient tones, setting the stage for a meditative experience. The music gradually builds, unveiling layers of delicate synth pads and intricate electronic nuances that ebb and flow like cosmic tides. The carefully crafted sonic landscape creates a sense of weightlessness, inviting the audience to lose themselves in the expansive, otherworldly realm of Greater Than1's creation.

As the track progresses, subtle rhythms emerge, pulsating beneath the surface like a cosmic heartbeat. These rhythmic elements add a dynamic dimension to the ambient soundscape, guiding the listener through vast, imaginary landscapes and celestial vistas.

Greater Than1 skillfully employs a combination of organic and synthesized elements, seamlessly blending the analog warmth of ambient textures with the precision of modern electronic production. The result is a sonic odyssey that transcends traditional genre boundaries, offering an immersive experience that resonates with both introspection and cosmic contemplation.

"The 33rd Degree" is not merely a song; it's an invitation to explore the uncharted territories of the mind, a sonic voyage that transcends the ordinary and ventures into the extraordinary. Allow Greater Than1 to guide you through the sonic cosmos, where each note is a stardust particle, and every beat echoes in the vast expanse of the 33rd degree.
