Weirdly synchronistic mindset, I was just discussing the subject of questioning our complacency despite the way it makes one stick out for the sake of the commonwealth. That it is our responsibility to complain not our privilege. Excellent!

dude my mind is blown!!!@@🤯🤯🤯🤯

1 - Dream Colors- Golden Triangle

Yo!

What's up family.

I don’t know about all of you… 
But I am feeling inspired right now! 

🔥 🔥 🔥 

It feels like I’ve been sitting on a near infinite wellspring of artistic and creative energy.  So much so that I just gotta do something with it. So, I am.

I’m going to make music.

More specifically, I’m going to record an album, one track at a time, and release it in real time.    This track is the first track in that series of releases. {Credit to MP Beats on the track.}

For the next 16 days, I’m going to record, mix, and release a new song every other day, such that by the end of this month I will have a brand new album of music.

~~~

Why am I doing this?

Because music is awesome. And I am a musician. A rapper to be more specific.

Or at least, I say I am, haha.   But the truth is, that even though I feel like I am constantly creating new music, I’ve been in a bit of an artistic rut.

Too much of my my time, money, and artistic energy is going into the processes of coordinating with mixing and mastering engineers, listening to mixes again and again, working with graphic designers, making beats, etc.

Now, don’t get me wrong, these things are important! But the truth is, I’m impatient. While I have A LOT of good things on the way, there is a part of me that just wants to give you all something to hear right NOW.

I’m ready, willing, and present to do the damn thing I’m here to do, which is not only to create music, but to share what I have created with the world, so that it can be received and cherished.

I want to inspire and move you with music. In order to do that though, I have to put it out there.

I want you to hear what I make. I want you to hear what I make as if I am a small child who just wants to show you the painting I made at school today, yes. A part of me wants to be seen and appreciated for the beauty I create.

But I also want you to hear the music I am making FOR YOU.   

Because I believe the music I make has VALUE to offer the world. Because I believe music can actually help you, heal you, uplift you, inspire you, rekindle something inside of you, or stoke that flame which is already burning brightly.

~~~

So, it goes like this.   I responded to a call from the universe. I bought a mixtape of beats from a producer online (at an incredibly reasonable price, I might add) and I am about to let loose on it. I’m about to paint my heart out.

I am going to do my best to bring you a polished product, yes, but I will also be allowing myself to fully disregard the over analytical inner critic that so often sabotages my creative nature. I am going to allow myself to express myself in an inhabited fashion, and share it with you all in its rawest most pure form.

~~~

So, if you love me, if you love music, if you love the unfolding of the artistic process, then come on this journey with me. Listen to what I put out there in the coming two weeks.

Like it. Engage with it. Share it with somebody you love. And, if you don’t like it, that’s cool too.

I can’t expect to hit a home run every time. I accept that what I make may not be medicine for everyone out there.

Thanks for your time, attention and energy.  Wishing you love and alignment on your life journey.

Peace,  ZT

I promised to release a song every other day for the next two weeks.

This is song number 2 in that series: Common Wealth.

An ode to the possibility of a higher vibing environment.

Shoutout to MP Beats on the track.

🙏

Common Wealth

And the saga continues…  

This is the 3rd installment in my challenge to record, mix, and release a new song every other day for a two week period. 

And I gotta say, this is the first song so far that has actually felt like it was a 'challenge' for me.   

This song was definitely a journey for me to create, but I feel really stoked about what ultimately emerged.

This song isn’t perfect… But fuck it. 

  My goal in this life is participation, not perfectionism. 

That’s the whole point of this challenge in the first place -

To simply create.

~~~

Without further ado, may I present to you:  

The Magician

~~~

{Shoutout to MP Beats on the track.}

  Much love y’all.

🙏 ❣ 🔥

The Magician

Each track I create allows me to discover something new about myself. 

Every beat invites me into a whole new constellation of archetypes within me.

Some beats invite me into a more playful part of myself, whereas others bring out more of my depth and intensity.

Some tracks expose a more humorous or sensual side of myself, while others evoke a more serious or somber texture within my psyche.

I’m actually getting to know and love myself in deeper ways through each track, which is super cool.  

In some tracks, I get to play the sexy saucy pirate rapper.
 In others, I get to play the mystic guru poet. 
In others still, I get to be the radical revolutionary orator.  

Sometimes, I get to play all 3 in 1 track!!!  

All of them are me, just different sides of me.
 And I like playing all of these parts of me.
  It’s fun. It’s liberating. It’s empowering.  

It’s also the least boring form of therapy I could imagine, haha.

It’s like I’m getting to see what reoccurring themes wind through my mind in real time. 

And then, I get to share that process with the world, and see how people react.  Quite fascinating really.

  ~~~  

Today’s song has a bit of an ancient future feel to it. One foot in the past, one in the present, and one in the yet to be.  

(Yes, my multi-dimensional body has 3 legs… at least.) 🐙   

There are elements of inspiration, peace, playfulness, empowerment, and hope. 

There are also elements of realism, sadness, longing, and frustration.

  But overall, like much of my recent work, the track is rather celebratory, a buoyant ode to our connection with timelessness, and that which transcends all of the pressing issues and intricacies of this mad world.

  ~~~

  If you feel inspired to listen, I think you might just enjoy it.

  I know I enjoyed making it for you.  

~~~

  This is track #6 in my challenge to record and a release a new song every 48 hours for a period of two weeks…  

Without further ado, I proudly present to you:  

Drumroll please…

  ~~~

  Ancestral Vessel

~~~

  {Oooooh, fancy name!!!}  

{No, but in all seriousness, it’s pretty dope}  

{Instrumental by MP Beats}  

~~~  

I pray that it serves you well my friends.
  Much love.

  🙏

What a brilliant artist!!!

Ancestral Vessel

This track is an ode to the nomad inside all of us.

Because every one of us is on an odyssey...

{Shoutout to MP Beats on the track}

Odyssey

Almost every CD I loved growing up had a bonus track on it...

A hidden gem, a special extra moment at the end of the 'actual' album as a treat and surprise for everyone who made it to the end of the record.

This song, a molten meditation on the beauty of life, is the 'bonus track' from my forthcoming release 'Zenith' which I recorded this past November. (Watch out for it on all major platforms soon...)

I hope it blesses your day and your life.

Love, 
ZT

Release Notes (Sonic Alchemy)

Sonic Alchemy Records is proud to present “Raise the Djed EP” A powerful and emotive work from Patrick Haize. Patrick, otherwise known for his inspirational youtube channel, brings forth a series of  messages for the conscious collective that are both timely and timeless. His deep reverence and sacred insights create a profoundly enlightening offering for those ready to experience his unique expression. 

Raise the Djed EP offers five multidimensional access points in to the realm of the immortal. Opening with the EP title track, we are greeted with “ You can live forever…”; a reminder that immortality is not inherent but rather it is earned… and this beautiful process of earning our immortality is at the core of our life’s purpose. With its Enchanting melodies and mysterious essences, this track connects us to our divine cosmic heritage and sets the scene for the next chapter in the piece:

“True You” a collaborative offering featuring Momentolgy and DJ Taz Rashid. Here we find ourselves floating down a celestial river to re-discover the connection point to our authentic selves. As the cosmic rhythms and catalyzing words shake the dust of illusions from our minds we uncover our unique piece to the earthly puzzle. “There’s only one You, there’s only one Me, there’s only one Us, there’s only one We”.

"Love Storm", the third track, is our second opportunity to hear the solo production skills on the release from Patrick. This track embodies an ancient wisdom expressed by Patrick as  “Love is not always gentle, love can be fierce like a raging river or thunderstorm and true love burns with the scorching overwhelm of a supernova, the more you harness it however the more gentle it feels but the idea that love must always be gentle is a denial of the universes primal power. The truth is that It is both gentle and raging simultaneously.”  This track, with its metamorphic progression and potent ferocity encourages us to “Embrace the Storm” of Love and express our ferocious beauty. 

Track four offers a beautiful recount of connecting to our multidimensional nature, ‘bilocational” is an abstract medley of linguistic colors that trace the silhouette of cosmic fractality. The animated verses and warm choruses deliver a truly psychedelic word sculpture expressed with a polished eloquence that is unique to Patrick Haize.  

To round out this journey, Patrick and Momentology offer an incredibly emotive story of Patrick’s own trials with death and the inspiration and passion that ensued from his choice to live. Here we are taken on a dramatic journey through his struggle with acceptance of a fate unknown, and the choice between giving up or devoting himself to life. This beautiful expression of a universal story tugs heavily at the heart of the listener imbuing them with inspiration and gratitude for the under appreciated aspects of this human existence. 

Sonic Alchemy Records is in awe of the power and potential of this release. Whilst writing these notes, we’ve been overwhelmed with the whole range of emotion offered by Patrick Haize. For each and every track, we’ve been momentarily frozen with goosebumps, and the intention behind this release carries such a depth of passion that our hearts open by simply being in its presence. We trust that you will be as honored as we are by the Raise The Djed experience.

Improv freestyle flows with the homie Zach Grace!

Every single instrument and verse for this track was recorded in one take with absolutely no pre-prepared material. Just free flows from the soul.

In The Meadow ft. Zach Grace

Somewhere in the space between Alan Watts and Aesop Rock, Atmosphere and Allen Ginsberg, Immanuel Kant and Immortal Technique, Kahlil Ghibran and Kendrick Lamar, Rumi and RZA...

There is a special place.

A place where the majestic backdrop of boom bap music is populated by notions of prosperity and peace, where cityscapes and celestial horizons meet in a glorious display of poetic union.

This is where you’ll find Zen Tempest.
