Hello everyone, its been a while!
There is no way to explain what it is that our human nature has created, whether it be in our our cities, our technology, our cures,. There is no way to touch a building and realize it's creation, without being the person that built it. There is no way to know how our lightbulb glows unless we have ourselves created it. There is no way to know the dedication and commitment that it takes to create a cure for something we cannot even see, unless we have spent part of our lives working on it. It is only through our own personal creation that we find meaning in this world, like a mother with her child. It is our nature to be ignorant of that we do not experience directly, and to take our possessions for granted.
It is my belief that through music each individual can find their true self. The part of you that sees something beautiful and yearns to take part. There is a feeling one gets when they lay eyes on a dying person, that feeling is regret.
What could I have done? What could this person have done? What could we as humanity have done for this individual, on their deathbed, to better their life.
As a whole i believe that most people without true purpose always feel this regret, because i have experienced it at many times in my life. It was only from finding my path in music that i have found the smallest shard of hope in this world.
The path of music however, is not only for the musician. That is a life of business, and not the primary goal of music.
The path of music is for every person alive, it is a path that we should all start as early as we can walk. It is a path that walks beside us and gives us power and energy for every step ahead. For every person that has played music from their soul and felt the connection to our true spiritual self they have also gained a new perspective of the road they walk every single day of their life.
Through music, perseverence is learned. Through music self-confidence is gained, love is ignited, passion is created. For every note played on this earth in pure single-minded bliss there is a hope for our bettered existence.
Because we cannot touch, see, or smell music, we take it as something that will always be there. Many people in this state of mind never give one thought to realizing their own musical potential.
"Music is hard" is something i personally hear very often.
The creation of spotaneous music from the mindset of a person with basic knowledge of any instrument is not hard. It is felt as pure joy, a feeling not unlike that of the first time one eats chocolate, or a sweet candy. The thought runs by: "This is good, where did this come from?"
Unlike candy, or sports, or most other activities, music is created by one's mind alone and sustained from pure effort only.
Music is one of the only true forms of direct sublime creation that is available to every person in existence.
For many cultures that have existed in the past, and some that exist today, music is not secondary in one's life. It is something that every person takes part in, as a human being.
I believe we in a technologically advancing society are losing track of our core selves. As we have more and more objects open to entertain us we as a whole have drifted from making music as a 'good time', or as 'recreational' or as a way to find your own true self.
The truth is, music comes from humanity. Not one person at all; music is the celebration of life, the celebration of the moment. The choice to use some of your remaining time on earth in a purely unselfish, unadulterated state of oneness so that you can better you, and everyone around you.
When you pick up an instrument, whether it be electric, acoustic, or your own vocal chords, you're connecting it to your soul, and in my experience there aren't many other ways to connect directly to what is truly inside of every person: Life.

I have a neat song that i just put up last night
Its called Somedayy, and it was recorded like an electric piece ala acoustic. Meaning its on electric guitar, with minimal effects. I added flange after recording.
This was done with a minimilist producing approach, all in the playing.
tell me what you think

*********************BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE NEWEST COLLABORATION (Recorded in person with a friend of mine) I WILL BE UPLOADING, IT IS THE RESULT OF:
-My friend Rich's Really neat Fruityloops drumbeat/bassline (Which is what spawned the whole thing)
-His guitar lines
-His Girlfriend's Vocals
-His Vocals
-My Guitar lines
-And a couple of hours of production in cakewalk home studio by him and I (or something similar..dont remember exact name)
(The only reason it isn't up yet is because i have to get him to upload it to me so i can upload it to the site)
In my opinion it is the most professional sounding recording I have helped produce/record so far!
I hope you all enjoy it and i can't wait to see what you think!
