I can't seem to spend to mush time on one project. I sometimes catpture a mood and I keep the song. I like to have no idea what I'm getting into or trying to wrtie about. I just let in happen. Music kind of calms the storm inside my head and brings me clarity. http://anodyne.bandamp.com/ admin@bandamp.com http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6618.html This is my oldest and first song I ever wrote on a guitar. For years I played this tune without any words to it. So about 4 years ago I finaly did. I decided to make the lyrics about how it was my first song and a way going back to how it all began. I've done a version of it before but I enjoy this version more. hope you do too! This is the first song I wrote on my guitar. The notes simple. And yet complicated. My hands were trembling. My head was buzzing. It was so long ago. Surprised how I still know. How the notes go. And how it made me shown. Through the power of music I tasted my soul. This is the first song I wrote on my guitar. The notes simple. And yet complicated. My hands were trembling. My head was buzzing. Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:34:29 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6554.html just made this up last night Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:56:59 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6585.html I go for a lot of walks. I notice people would mostly rather look away then acknowledge the human being that passes bye. I find this strange and left me a little confused. You may never know where a light gesture could lead. Anyways I just recorded it and I'm pretty happy with it. If you want to know why look at the picture this is all the equipment I have. lol Someday it will get better and hopefully the recordings. thanks for listening ; ) Ok this time it should play. All the tracks got cut up into little pieces and everything got pushed to the beginning..GRRR! I tried to get it as close as possible but it's not 100%.

I'm happy with the content just not the recording It's really fuzzy but that's how it will be until I can get something better. Sat, 19 Jan 2008 19:27:41 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6579.html ***HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*** This is a guitar melody that I came up with and then gently played over the top of. The words are to a poem that I wrote years ago, and I decided to add it to the music, but I didn't really want them to be the focus, or detract too much from the music itself, so I tucked them into the song to basically provide an emotion and feeling that wouldn't otherwise be there. Some people might say "turn up the vocals" because you may have a hard time telling what I'm saying. Well, just think of them as another instrument providing subtle feel to the track. It's not about the vocals themselves, so just sit back and take in the whole thing as a whole... But if you're nitpicky about it, here's the words anyway for you. Enjoy. I sat for the seeking And thought for the thinking I twice went there and back before you registered The surface tension feeling The life beneath that's breathing Ignore or briefly entertain The depth within this flow I laughed for all the soaring tones That feedback into what I'd grown I haven't felt a better way Sift the sand day after day Reassuring warmth from the strength that's built Of disciplined, conscious reality Should I slow down Or are we out of time I breathed for the memory Asleep, I felt eternity It curled up deep inside of me I then knew what i was to be Don't drown in intangible inexistence Life is washing over the mind In front of my eyes In front of our eyes Avert to flee their sacred lies In seeking I found to lose the disguise Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:57:08 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6562.html ***HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*** I kinda wish I could see people's faces when they listen to this and go "WTF is this?!" Again, this does not in any way fit the mold of a normal song, so IF you've been brainwashed into the verse/chorus/verse mentality, well... you may be disappointed. BUT I like the realm of the unusual, unexplored emotions, strange vibes and uncertain feelings. A lot of my songs tap straight into the subconscious for inspiration, and this is no exception. I think we all should expand our perceptions of music, and understand that, as the language of the soul, it can take many strange shapes and communicate many unexpected ideas. I came up with the lyrics AS I sang the song for the first time off the top of my head, which removed 'logic' from the equation and left me with something more interesting. Most of this is that original take. I hope you can appreciate it. I shot it out into space and you caught me there Frozen forever in time above the horizon Vaccuum of space it's all so much inside the spaceship, away From all the life that's scattered down below Had you faced the only other option inside Had you tasted the tablet so full of cyanide Were you willing to end it all there on that spot Not geographical, cause that makes sense not You're upside down You're inside out again Open wide Forever lost inside the spin You're falling down now Your face is hurting Alone in the darkness Cut - opened up and bleeding For the wolves to smell They've got a great smell Sense, that is You know - it's done It's always been done Down amongst the leaves Autumn struck Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:30:29 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6561.html ***HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*** As with most of my songs, this is a strange creation. My music tends not to fit well into any categories or genres, so don't struggle while listening to determine "what the hell this is", just take it as it is, and try to feel what I feel. With my music, I'm trying to transfer emotions and abstract concepts in a new way, which will surely irritate some people looking to define and understand it in a typical music sense. Don't worry about it, it's a mutant entity of the subconscious. How does it seem to feel How does it seem to hold Away from the aperture We've Untold Whispering quietly Our face is ashamed Neath all the sand we found Our place isn't blamed Down in the deepest hole Trying to light our way Away from the burning sun Are we astray Screaming it quietly The fire's contained Neath all the sand we found The reasons explained Charging on fearlessly Or are we afraid A way for the dying world To call our name Thundering quietly We wait for the fall Neath all the sand we found We're one after all Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:06:48 -0400 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6033.html Hey, Just recorded this song with a friend (Cminor) the other day. He's doing the vocals and I (Nyk) have done the background score as well as the backing vocals. This song is all about a guy who's trying to sustain in this world without his love. The lyrics go as follows, please dont forget to vote this work of a 18 year old. :P Stand Alone A lost lie, A lost face, Once we lived, in disgrace. Not another chance, Not another day, Everything was meant to be, your way. I'm standing alone, up at this height, I still regret those f*****' fights, I'm not letting go, I still dream on, I'm standing alone, so still, but still so strong. Here I live, to see another smile, I'm living this life, this life of denial, I'm drowning in sorrow, my regrets soaked in pain, I'm waiting for my life, to turn to another lane. I'm standing alone, up at this height, I still regret those f*****' fights, I'm not letting go, I still dream on, I'm standing alone, so still, but still so strong. Lyrics and Vocals by - Cminor/Nyk Recording/Mixing/Post Production at Thought Process Studios (Nyk) Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:48:40 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5962.html It's kind of a solo. I was really tired when I did it. I always have this sort of productive tiredness at times, it's where I can solve word search puzzles quickly, ace math homework, and be very creative. This has an ending that is different from others. It pans to the left and fades in volume. It's slow, simple, and short, but it sounds good, in my opinion. I really couldn't extend it to a song more than this. (BTW. It doesn't sound like a clarinet to me, but that's what my VSTi Plugin says it is...) This song is meant to be sad. I believe there is a Russian influence on this song too. This song tells a story. If you listen carefully, you can hear it. Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:14:35 -0500
