about

I stand before the mirror, adjusting my costume; my mask is a little crooked. I take a deep breath; adjust the angle so the little sparkle shows… and the crack, not so much. The colors have faded with age, but it’s the face people expect to see, so I make sure it’s securely held in place before I depart for the Masquerade.

The dance is in full swing by the time I arrive. It’s actually a constant movement. I wander into the crowd… and hope today’s encounters are meaningful enough to offset the precious minutes spent. Life is short, and time is precious.

With the briefest of glances, I notice people have gravitated to those wearing similarly themed costumes. In this world, surface things matter most; like draws like. I make my way through the masses, looking for a hint of something alive in the eyes around me; and notice only that I am being appraised in return. Other than hollow compliments and rehearsed banter, hollow glances and rehearsed movements… I find no one willing to dance my dance.

Unfortunately, this is the pretense we’ve chosen. Removing the costume is taboo. Asking for a glimpse of the person behind the mask is considered invasive. So the dance continues.

I step away from the crowd, clear my head… and experience a hopeful moment, imaging a better space. I often wonder; will we ever have the courage to remove our masks and simply stand face to face?

I can’t really say for sure. But wouldn’t it be wonderful?

I hope you enjoy my latest piece… a very unusual exploratory soundscape called ‘The Lonely Masquerade’.

GrevusAnjl

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.

- Justin
