about

Today, I'm very excited to share my first collaboration created with our wonderful friend Mariam (soundcloud.com/myrhyum, soundcloud.com/tariqa-kali). We've been connecting on Soundcloud for almost as long I've been on Soundcloud (just over three years now), and we finally decided it was about time we combined our unusual styles into something wildly different.

The message is a friendly reminder (and one I've brushed on a few times before) to not take our thoughts and memories too literally (or seriously). Certainly, we use all the information we have stored there to help us define ourselves, but we can benefit greatly by challenging the validity of those ideas; challenging the accuracy.

Here's a fun experiment for you; super easy, and will prove very entertaining if you're already hip on the idea of scrutinizing your notions. On the other hand, if you're quite satisfied with your memories; quite convinced they are rock solid and accurate... You might want to skip over this next little bit.

Find a dear friend or loved one, preferably one that has been around for at least 10 years or so. Then sit down, and really discuss an experience from your past. The key is in the depth of the details. Don't stop at 'remember when we grilled hot dogs in the rain as teenagers that summer.' Go into every little detail you can recall... really compare notes... and you'll soon be amazed how very differently each of you recalls the details.

Neuroscience has exploded over the past 20 years, and memory storage is one of the most fascinating areas of study for me. One of my favorite recent discoveries is that we re-write our memories every time we visit them; like patching or upgrading them. Similar to a computer, the memory downloads into the present moment like a program using RAM (temporarily moving it there so we can dedicate system resources to it), we immediately begin to put it into the context of what we know now, and then the memory again goes back into permanent storage, but with some of those new elements changing the details around. As bizarre as it sounds, the more we think about our memories, the more inaccurate in detail they become.

This makes you wonder... If I'm basing my daily choices on inaccurate memories, how am I distorting the present moment? Am I having a new experience? Or am I just applying inaccurate templates from the past over this potentially new opportunity? Just another reason to approach every moment with more heart, and less thought. We hope you enjoy our first collaboration, 'Mind Under Your Spell'. :)

lyrics

my weakness…

(save my soul)

for my weakness…

so wounded
the times of weight

to surrender surrender
deception is the wicked thing
its your mind,
its so under your spell

its how you see things, how you see things
said my weakness, for my weakness
its how you see

its how you
your mind body is so under your spell
cause you,
you are here

so as the soul does and more

Welcome to my sonic playground. I don't consider myself a skilled musician. I just sculpt sounds to quiet my mind... and often end up pleasantly surprised. I'm all about joy, and silliness, and staying playful as I (refuse to) grow older. My songs help me remember that. :)

Thank you for taking the time to listen and share in my journey. Best wishes and all my love.
