Procedure:
1. Transcribed vocal melody and composed new harmonic form using relative phrygian (A phrygian) and relative minor (D minor) tonal centers. 
2. Processed original track with AI tool, LALAL.AI, to extract vocal, bass, percussion, and background stems.
3. Using Melodyne, repitched bass and background stems to comport with new harmonies and form.
4. Sequenced piano (montuno), acoustic bass (tumbao), orchestral string pad, and Latin percussion tracks in Reason. Also sequenced a short Fender Rhodes solo.
5. Light mastering with Izotope Ozone and FabFilter plugins.
6. The last 60 seconds of “Tripped” were left untouched, save for added Latin percussion and mastering effects.

Wrapped in a Blanket
Music and poem written by Jennifer L. Jones

Music… woven into my skin
I live for the seventh chord,
And all its forms
Wrapping me in a blanket of luxury, 
Touching the softness,
Breathing in 
The insatiable joy of each inversion
Holding me still, 
Capturing my being in the moment
Letting me drift, dream, desire… and fall
Down a single thread of consciousness into
A world of me, addicted to tension and in love with release!

Wrapped in a Blanket

Here for your enjoyment is the third and final track in the Alice Trilogy.
Part Three:
A whole variety of films and television programmes have been based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871). The first film ever made was in the UK in 1903. It was a silent live-action short. The United States quickly followed and became prolific with Alice productions. A certain Walt Disney directed a series of silent animated live-action shorts from 1923 to 1927. Over the years, films have been produced in Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Japan and the USSR. 
Trivia: The character of the “Mad Hatter" is thought to have been inspired by the phrase "mad as a hatter." It refers to mercury poisoning in hatmakers during the Victorian era (traces of arsenic have also been discovered). Another theory was of an eccentric furniture dealer in Oxford named Theophilus Carter. Carter's flamboyant style and the use of mercury in hat-making during that time add further intrigue to the Mad Hatter’s origin. 
finally…
Charles spent his final years in Guildford, Surrey. He died there on 14th January 1898, aged 65 years. In 1982, a memorial stone dedicated to him was unveiled in Poet’s Corner in London’s Westminster Abbey.

Attention visitors,
For more than eight years, a hacker has set my follower count to the number of the beast, 666. I've notified SoundCloud management and the police about this bizarre crime on several occasions, but neither party has followed through with a solution. Let it be known that although I am an atheist, I do not now, nor have I ever had any interest or connection to satanism, witchcraft, voodoo, occultism, or any other foul ideologies my persecutors wish to attach to me.
