Chill...
Do you know what the prearranged signal is?
A few moments ago you were hypnotised and told that shortly after awakening, you would be given a signal, which would put you back to sleep again.
Chill...
Now do you remember? You're awake, aren't you?
A few moments after you have awakened, I shall rap like this...
Don't 😴

Interstellar Alignment 🪐
Step into the stars with this beat!
I'm back with the Apache Blackgrass. Had a quick stop on the left coast to watch the waves decay. Now I'm back at the control deck locked in with the MPC One, looking out a window facing west towards the Rocky Mountains. Using my imagination to visualize the whole house surrounding me is a spaceship traveling far. Come along for the journey!

Usually from week to week I have a certain song that is motivating me. This week it's "Verbal Clap" by De La Soul.

Phone is ringing, OH MY GOD
Telephone backgrounds on a clear day.
The other day I bought a golden MPC One. The last MPC I had was a 1000 model, and it has been out of commision for several years. The 1000 had grey pads. These new MPCs have buttons that light up in a multitude of colors. It speaks to the early 90s translucent phone with green light up buttons side of me, and I like that.
Here's a fun loopable section of the first beat I made on the new MPC One!

"Satellite" ⭐ The stars aligned for this one!
The melody that comes in at 0:30 is a prayer to Eric B. and Rakim's "My Melody." I played it on a Casio MT-100 to get the vibe right!
Something about the effervescence of Hip Hop in the early days blended with the wondermint of students in science class circa 1979 really inspires me and moves my soul.

The Beach Boys 'Celebrate The News' Remix Beat
Remix by Will C.
Also known as "Change The Bass"
As heard on "Sail On: The Beach Boys Podcast," often featured at the top of their news segment.
Short compilation of 80s era BMX bike footage.
Starts with segments from the cult classic film "Rad," and then shifts into some more obscure and lost-to-VHS fuzzy memories. Music: "Air Man" by Will C.
"Other Shores, Other Worlds" is a new song, but the familiar feeling it evokes is drawing from a forever cycling vibration the cosmos are sending out even right now, at this very moment.
Composed on a long lost to time, recently resurrected Synergy I synthesizer. In its heyday, this unique instrument was used extensively by music icon Wendy Carlos, whose credits include film scoring for Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange," as well as "TRON." The Synergy was a contemporary of the Nintendo Entertainment System, and sure enough, sounds are loaded onto the synthesizer via old school video-game style cartridges.

The Beach Boys 'Meant For You' Remix Beat
Remix by Will C.
Also known as "Colorado Coolaid"

For every kalimba pluck, a rain drop...
You feel emotions inside
and you can show them
in time you're older and wise
and you'll be knowing
It takes good timin' in life
it takes good timin' with love
Sometimes it's raining outside
sometimes it's raining in life
I know that you'll be okay
embrace the water in rain
Some friendships last and some fall
and some recover
don't try to master it all
and love your brother
"In Life, With Love"
written by Will C.

I've officially completed a degree in Music Therapy, so naturally I made a song with an underlying melancholic vibe to celebrate.
"Graduation"
all instruments, production, mixing,
+ mastering by Will C.
the feeling you get
when you're looking for the next song
to really connect with
whenever your head strong
there's always a playlist
always a lost gem to get you through phases
and then when you find it, you're outta your head
your into the skyline
and centered again
Above is a set of lyrics I wrote yesterday while working on a new song. Music is a very special gift. Life can be difficult at times. My hope for you is that in every phase of life, you can pull from the infinite well of sound and rhythm, and in doing so, you can be empowered to carry on and weather the everchanging forces this world presents.
