first time hearing bix doing bluegrass with you

“Crystal Radio” is 4 track album released in 2022.  The central thread related to how time and life flow in an unpredictable pattern, but within boundaries. Lines are created based on decisions we make, big or small.  How different would someone’s life change based on these decisions?  Even say, stopping or not stopping to have a drink at a water fountain, decades previously. Everything after would have been jostled around, but with what impact?  

Two previous tracks have used this theme. ‘Silica Daughter’ appears on the 2021 project “Cloktacs III” and uses a sample where the question is asked, “You won’t fail me will you?”.  Later in 2021, samples from the 90-year-old movie ‘Back Street’ were repurposed to create a radio play called ‘Back Lane’ which will be aired as part of the 2022 Radiophrenia event in Scotland. The storyline of the movie follows a chain of events set in motion by a simple decision that alters the lives of the characters completely, forever, and ends in a classic, ‘what if’…

This all led to creating a new project, interestingly, by deciding to reach out to another SoundCloud artist for help with some spoken word recordings.  As we started working on this new project, Jennifer Roe, took the track ‘Silica Daughter’, added vocal tracks and lyrics inspired by the media samples, and transformed it into something completely new.  The result is absolutely beautiful, is now called ‘Silica Daughters [Ft. Jen Roe]’ and was the impetus and first track for the ‘Crystal Radio’ project. 
The final track “Tracing Home” again features Jennifer who contributed the vocal music and lyrics, bookending this project with two fabulous performances.

As I’ve got older the things that seemed really important when I young just pale into insignificancy.
What’s meant to be is meant to be and I’m not sure you can change that process how hard you try.
All your personal achievements and moments that went well are just 
Little Victories in the war of life.
Just try and have integrity and be a better person every new sunrise.
I’m dedicating this song to my mate Big Johnie who has integrity and gave me the idea for the hook as he always says 
“ there just little victories Gaz”

Little Victories ~ Conscience of Kings

Lord without a chance empowered:

The drawbridge closes for the last time. The previous lord is to be deprived of his power. The henchmen of the new ruler rush the castle of the existing lord. With many times the manpower of the self-proclaimed new ruler, the "old" lord will hardly have a chance. Until the very end, he has cherished his land and its inhabitants, taking care of them and making everyone happy. The new dark ruler will bring misery to the land and its inhabitants. This is certain...

By the way, just exchanged at 21:21 in the evening.... The young man at the kettledrum missed his cues partly by millionths of a second. That is not possible! The whole orchestra complained after the performance! Well...I then reprimanded myself. Now the timing is right 🤣

I'm glad John Buckle discovered my very short composition/draft "Dream in a Dream" His suggestion to make it longer was more than welcome ! His sound additions just magic to lift it to a level of true dreamyness ! Our mixes are slightly different, so check out John's too
