about

On 12-29-22 M. Pines randomly sent me a beat, saying he made it the day before, and thought it would fit my style. This came after us talking for a few weeks, and him sharing the music he'd been working on, and specifically me commenting on really digging the production that he was doing.

Essentially, I suppose I was planting the seed for a new form of collaboration with M. Pines, the artist behind the artwork for my "Caged Art" and "With Interest" projects...and likely more to come.

The musical backdrop, delivered here in full, was perfect in helping me channel my mindstate at the time, which was in a bit a dark place. i wrote and recorded the original vocal take on 1-5-23.

Then I sat on it for awhile, as I processed some of those life challenges, and came back and recorded a final vocal take on 2-11.

This is just raw emotion, so I kept it that way in every aspect. I didn't turn over to an engineer per usual. I did my own "mix", and then mastered via an AI program (EMastered). I guess this is the permanent demo mix...

Shout out: Foster Garvin and Robert VanVranken for some extra ears in the effort to boost my confidence!

LYRICS:
Greetings y’all, all gall, pure avant-garde
Advantages are, you know what the damages are
Immediate, see we get, signals from the start
Brain or the heart, or some other mysterious part
Discipline’s hard, most will never take that charge
Make it that far, life gets more bizarre
I map the stars, find what attracts the gods
Hack the source, hope they do not stack the odds
Facts with flaws, yeah, like when the casket calls
Or casting calls to play the part of plaster walls
Mastered laws of subtlety, the hidden clause
I sit in awe thinking of forbidden acts
I didn’t ask, the ghosts of my distant past
This is mad…ness, and I’m just as glad
To have had some time to define my path
Might I add, my wrath is a silent song
My pride is strong, I belong, like the night is long
But sun rise is too quick, whose side it’s on?
Right or wrong, that’s how the lines are drawn
Etched in stone, carved by a blade of bone
I crave to roam, at least until I’ve made a home
Standard issue, that could never be my fate
I try, but wait, I still like a fly-by great
Oh my I’m late, let me try to make my gate
Carry on, then I’m gone, to my final state
