Cool track Jim, and a pleasure to collaborate.

A very enjoyable collaboration.  Great work by you both!

An epic piece with many moods and movements.  This driving rhythm at the end really brings it home. Nice work Jim and Zippy! 👌

What beautiful sounds! This is fantastic of you again. 💜

Wonderful blend of "atmospheric" instrumentation.

The only sound source here is my stratocaster with signal splitted to acoustic guitar soundhole magnetic pickup (which I played with my right hand as a pick/slide/ebow). Both signals went through Boss Line Selector, then some fuzz and for a short time my old Yamaha octaver. Last on the signal chain was Warm Audio Ring modulator which was mainly off. 

I composed a piece which has overlayered 1-3 tracks simultaniously. No post effects in DAW. For percussive parts and coda I played the springs of vibrato system. Those I miked with this magnetic acoustic guitar pickup.

"Atmospheric Colors"
Valhjim


At dawn, heaven and earth doth wear
the colors of a new day that opens
like a beauteous flower of Paradise.

The air is cool, the grass, and every hedge
and tree are damp with dew, while clouds
wear a pink and white array against

the light blue of the sky. 

And as the day unfolds, the colors flush
into crystal clear transparencies 
where we move like figures in a Hall

of Mirrors—all times contained
in an instant of self-awareness
that brings about the world.

Atmospheric Colors - Valhjim w/Martin Miers

Rocktober track and day 28 

The air grows colder, the beats get stranger.
Time is slipping away, and the veil between light and shadow is thinning.
When it lifts — Rocktober ends, and something else begins.....

I’ve got wind in my hair
Smile on my face
Needle point to ninety five
No one anywhere around

Back pinned to my seat 
She’s revving high
Pulling away clean and green
Front end up high

This jalopy has only one speed
It’s full throttle ahead
From stoplight to stoplight

Who want to take a ride
Take your life
Put it in my hands
Take a thrill ride

Check the oil, check the tires
Every night
Put a fresh shine on the paint job
Man, she looks so tight

I’ve got no reason to stop
No one gonna stop me
Needle up to hundred five
Red and blue lights all around

Hands pinned to my back
Feet spread wide
Got a fresh shiner on my eye
I know better


Take A Thrill Ride

The Night Has Come (2012, Rehearsal).

Into The Heart

Niecałe 26 minut gitarowo/głosowego materiału z 2025 roku. To chyba najświeższe, co przyszło mi do głowy, materiał jest z wyjątkiem kilku tekstów i akordów w całości improwizowany.
Dzisiaj, wrzucając ten materiał do sieci, mocno zastanawiałem się nad zaufaniem. Dziś to najważniejsza waluta, w dobie przesytu internetowego chłamu. Komu ufam? Wydawało mi się, że platformie Bandcamp, ale ta postanowiła nagle zmienić operatora płatności. PayPal używam dłużej niż platformy Bandcamp, i przy PayPalu zostanę. Dla swojej muzyki jednak muszę znaleźć inną furtkę. W sumie ufam Soundcloudowi, ale już widzę, że darmowy plan to obecnie tylko 120, nie 180 minut limitu uploadu materiału. Słabo. Wszystko staje się korporacyjne, i nie ma miejsca dla hipisa/ofiary LSD, który chciałby dorobić do leków.
Internet to szmelc i piaskownica, ale muszę jakoś się w nim odnaleźć. Stąd shattered lotus flower pojawiło się w tej piaskownicy, ulepić parę babek. Jazgot gitar zastąpiło plumkanie, a czytelne, popowe wokale, z którymi nigdy nie było mi po drodze to już wyłącznie blubry starego Marycha. Albo Marychy. Co w sumie w dobie gender-bender-easy-offender na jedno wychodzi. Pierd*li mnie wszystko serdecznie, więc posłuchajcie sobie tego materiału/mixu/EPki jakkolwiek to nazwiecie, i przenieście się w trochę inne miejsce, niż sugeruje surowa, pobazgrana ściana pustostanu na okładce, i igła Pana Peryskopa wbita prosto w moje heroinowe ramię. Heroina na Haiti to fajna fantazja, jeśli Polizei w Berlinie nie złapało Cię za to samo w 2008. Teksty poniżej, te które były napisane wcześniej, te improwizowane pozostaną tajemnicą. Liczy się tylko to, co aktualne, a skoro zdaniem legendarnego Dave’a Bixby jestem skarbem narodowym Polski (tylko nikt o tym nie wie), to w sumie możecie mnie zakopać.

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
