The intro song titled “Shadow/Light”

on the new album is now

completely sketched out! When

I say sketched out I mean to

say, there are audible

parts recorded and in place

to give an overall idea of

what the song will do from

start to finish. None of the

actual parts are recorded

exactly how they will be in

the final, they’re just a rough

draft of everything. Before this

week we only had the first half

sketched out and available for

everyone to listen. But now you can

hear the full sketch on the

Songs-in-Progress page HERE.

The first half is angsty with

darker lyrics, but to drive home

the contrasting “shadow” vs “light”

idea, can you guess what we’re

aiming the second half to sound

like? You probably guessed it, we

want it to be of a happier/more

inspirational mood. :) Overall we

want this second half to almost

sound like a different song and

then the ending returns to the

angsty intro. Like a cycle… Or…

MIND CYCLE ???? haha

These concepts are

kind of explored in the

Shadow vs Light experience

and the whole idea behind

the concept of our “Mind Cycles” EP

is such that really in life we

all kind of go through these

Shadow/Light cycles. They say the

goal is to not get stuck in

the shadow, but to

embrace it, process it, learn

from it so we can return back

to the light and experience

& appreciate its contrasting

beauty… BUT something I

realized today through an

inspirational Instagram

Reel (lol, no but really) is

that “what comes up, must

come down right?” haha…

in other words, at least in

this mortal existence it’s

impossible to stay in the higher

vibrational / light space forever,

the cycle continues back to

the lower vibrations and

shadows consistently. Such is the

joy of this life I guess!

On another note,

I wanted to mention that a

colleague of mine is currently

working on the guitar parts for

this song and will be singing the

backup vocals which are being

written in a call/response

style or fashion. For example, I

sing one line, he responds singing

with another line, and each line

slightly overlaps each other.

Anyway, I’m really excited because

what he has come up for it on

guitar is REALLY cool

so far (currently not heard

on the songs-in-progress page

yet, but it will be soon so stay

tuned!) This colleague of mine

runs a tv music company out of

Los Angeles that I’ve done freelance

work for off and on over the last

decade. He also used to play in a

successful touring band called

“Signal To Noise” so he definitely

brings a TON of experience to the

table, and I feel so lucky and

honored he agreed to help us on

this! Anyway, that’s all I have for

this week! Can’t WAIT for this one!

(Btw… I know I say that about every

one of our new songs

BUT IT’S TRUE lol)
