Influx of questions and suggestions regarding the upcoming project which has been branded H2OH.
The nexus is fluidity. When you have artist combine musical I.Q. the minus is the remote locations. If everyone is not in house, you have to rely on the media in a tremendous way. It’s not a question of talent. It’s a matter of resources.
So, what’s new? lol
I’m pleased to report we’re on point. The project is thriving. So stand by for my close up. DH

I’m facing a packed agenda of project work. That in my view is a good thing. The actual task of sounding good is not as daunting as sounding simple.

The desire is to stretch and by all means keep controlled. I’d say most folks expect that polish. What to do? Keep it simple. No need to get carried away with the harmonics from Jupiter.

My approach is usually rhythmic in nature. If I have a pulse, I am set. This is purely from an instrumental point of view. Vocals demand by nature a more subtle attack. Somehow you have to be able to couch the nuances of the ego of the diva  factor.

All and all folks still relate to the simple tune. Attention disorder takes effect around two minutes in.  I must pause here to emphasize that I am not including the Auto tuned looped to death staple of mp3 lore. I guess in reality, it is hard work trying to be simple yet good. It’s worth it as a goal in all artistic pursuits.

Well let me retreat into my abode and meditate on quantum physics.

There’s always the impulse to reinvent the wheel. Either the work demands it or the ego reminds you of your dreams. Must pause here, if the reader has the visions of grandiosity you may get confused. By all means seek your fame. Do what you do. I’m focused on the folks that actually have gratitude for the gift in the first place.

Try bending, scraping, stretching the notes into some hybrid scale, but it will still be bread out the oven. My approach is different though maybe not new. I look at the music as a language. Whether from the ivory halls or the street curb. If you have something to say you will have something to play. Leap out of your conditioning and yell or whisper, whatever your preference.

I believe in art in all it’s forms. Let me clarify art. That which is expressive from the seeds of experience as well as imagination. I’m making sure folks don’t confuse this with tripe like “American Idol” or the slew of so called reality shows. In my opinion that’s just packaged garbage for the consumer with an attention span of a 12 yr. old child.

There’s creativity all around us everyday. It’s a matter of your point of view versus your expectations. Don’t cheat yourself.  Let yourself be that kid again. Keep your dreams fluid.  The only crime would be to surrender your creative thoughts to the mundane of the insane. The walking talking army of the nine to five dead.

Thanks for checking in. We’re just getting started. It promises to be good.

INDIE ARTIST CAFE – Bringing the creative vibe together

I felt it imperative that I commit some music towards those folks that helped to shape my spiritual compass. Whether painting, Sculpting, GO JU RYU Karate and many other experiences, these teachers and family members were a part of those events. Anubus is the Egyptian god of the cross over in life forms. Totally appropriate for this effort. Keep the light records LLC. will be the label.

When Haiti endured it’s latest tragedy, every person with even remote dreams of immortality via celebrity, clamored to be seen waiving the banner of hope. Singing and re frying old beans. “We r the world pt.2. “Look at me i’m concerned can’t u see?” was the mentality of the self orained.

Then Chile. Fewer cries due to the lack of demographic kickback, yet still something. Now the Academy awards. Without breaking stride, these superficial minions clamor to be “seen’, on a red carpet to, annoint a movie about blue folks being saved by a handicapped white male. His virtual morp into a foreign culture to raise them from the dredges. Wow, maybe Hollywood is heaven. Filled with transparent spirits making grandiose inroads based on imaginary synergy with the invisible masses. Don’t it make u wanna sing? lol
