March 31st was Trans Day of Visibility and i released an interlude of a song called CENTIPEDE. i started it in 2022 in the summertime (first vocal track was recorded June 29th, 2022). This is the beat of the open edition that i started on sound.xyz for the full song. I love my instrumentals very much and they truly are 1/1 just like their listeners and creator. So im happy and joyous to be releasing this and grateful for all of you for listening and aligning with the track. with love, always

CENTIPEDE 2.0 (Instrumental)

hallo heyo hi

this is staminup, last bounce since 01/20/23. i played this in future surf a lil bit ago and loved how everyone was connecting and expressing gratitude for sharing the moment. so i am investing my energy to release this beat into the world!

i intend to start a new journey of matinees and soirees under my new brand: iNRG. which is an abbreviation for IMMINENT ENERGY :)
with this release. The plan is to make a more intimate experience of creating environments for artists, fans, collectors, all humans to connect. 

this song has the beat arranged (which is the sound recording here) and i have a topline nested in the ableton file. the idea is to build this song in public, similar to the experience of watching your favorite theme park ride get built or seeing that new speedway getting built everyday after work when you're rolling on the highway. but for the progression of capturing musical moments before the finish sound recording. me and cy have been talking about how collectors and fans alike all want to join the journey in an intimate process and set up a process, where music lovers can unite in that experience of creating their favorite works of art.

think about your favorite album, think about being able to say "I WAS HERE B4 THEY BLEW UP :P" like you all do.. but imagine being deeper in the story. being able to be a producer without necessarily needing all the skills. making you the next rick rubin or something hah. that's the type of energy i want the people who invest in my story to feel with me. i wanna be able to build an intimacy where we can share our memories beyond just a purchase. i'm a performance artist at heart and believe that the performance and the journey is REALLY the art. the token, spotify stream, merch, etc. is your piece from the gift shop.

i will be writing more in a twitter thread about how the live experiences and woodshops will go, but here is the plan for this release.

I am pricing this because i have invested so much energy into this beat so far and want to perform the full finished master at SXSW, LA, all the conferences and twitter spaces i can. So this investment will work as am investment in my housing and personal health/care from the 13th-21st of SXSW, invest in a new acoustic/electric nylon guitar to travel and perform with, invest in proper mixing/mastering of this song and invest in being able to start building i-NRG out IRL to convert into digi-physical experiences with you the audience and the performance artists. 

Estimates for each:
-Lodging/Personal Care: $750 (Purchasing an Airbnb for me and my partner, Uber/Public Transportation investments, and Food/Meds/Hygeine cover)
-Ibanez TOD10N Tim Henson Signature Guitar: $699 for the guitar on Sweetwater and GuitarCenter, will get protection plan for at least a year so totaling out with tax would be approximately $750 
-Mixing/Mastering: $300 (I already have two mixing engineers and a mastering engineer on retainer)

I haven't seen someone utilize their WIPs to build a deeper connection within the musical creation journey. To the collectors and listeners of my music, I am so excited to heal and be vulnerable with you all how i truly see fit. I feel the containment of love and intimacy is what is holding web3, but all of the music industry back from seeing what art truly is: expression, capturing our stories and experiences into a spectacle of time. It's time to see our stars combine. Build a galaxy of experiences, instead of dead ends from projects. Actually facetime and meet your collectors, ask for their opinions! bring them alongside the ride and become besties. like me and cy have, and like me and dutchy have, scorchy scorch, saiko, kaki, so many great people i have met.. i'm excited to get to know you all. to all the beautiful souls i have and intend to align with in the future, please. soon connect, imminently and intimately.

STAMINUP 2.0 {INSTRUMENTAL}

Today is 02/17/2023. A year ago, i was boarding my flight to Denver to preform at Catalog's event at ETHDenver. I was there just for the day, got in performed and headed back home the next day. It was an eye opening experience for me because that was the first time i had traveled alone in about 3 years, and it was the first time i was flown out confidently as an artist and asked to preform.

Very monumental into shaping the desires i have to grow as an artist today. The words and imminence in this audio message i feel are a direct reflection of accepting who i am in this moment and allowing myself to speak up more. I welcome more life changing opportunities to enter my life this year. I welcome peace and bliss to transform the negative cycles and patterns that i held so dearly before. 

I have struggled with addiction my entire life. I was surrounded by drugs, gambling/the chase of money, and other explicit things my whole life. Some of those things i'm still exposed to today. But this is the first time in my life that i have made it without any of my vices. I was able to identify my emotions, accept it, and continue on with my writing. I think that this is a grand privilege that i get to experience in my life. The act of total acceptance, the mastery of yin and yang. I'm still way at the beginning of my journey, but i am so thankful that i get to share it with others. 

For everyone that listens, use this as a reminder to be VULNERABLE, to say EVERYTHING, and to capture it all. I am so inspired by dutchy rn who has tapes and audio from when he was 15. I lost a lot of my younger relics due to being trans and burning or trashing it all. But the blockchain gives me a chance to re-define my story as i truly am and have them stored forever, with you all alongside the journey.

MAC MINI.mp3

yo :)

this is the instrumental to THROWED!, a song i created alongside my friend BadAlphabet, an amazing artist and human being.

I made this beat on a whim one day while I was experimenting with new styles. I use a lot of bass guitar and neo-soul / gospel chords on the piano but i usually drown it all out with a huge 808 or crazy processed drums lol
 this is the first song i'm releasing where i wanted to communicate just a groove and a feeling of smoothness. comfort and lush vibes, not dance breaks or extreme hype energy LMAO

how BA landed on the track was due to the magical connections and community in the outsider discord. One of the first communities in the web3 music scene that really is pioneered towards uplifting everyone and making sure everybody eats. I was playing some stuff in the discord  VC and when BA heard this beat, he was like: I NEED that. Sent him over the beat, he ATE , and the rest is history.

Whoever collects the beat, me and B.A. are releasing the song very very sooon so I would love to give you the full version for free, plus the WAV file so you can listen anywhere you would like. 

*also hit me up in the DMs on twitter as I have a special offer for you*

anyone who listens to this I hope you have a beautiful day night mornin rising whatever you call it and know that you are not alone in this journey. you will achieve every endeavor and every dream you set your mind to. keep shining your light. - rem/c

THROWED! 2.0 (Instrumental)

this is a beat i made last year around november i think. the last bounce i have (this file) is time stamped at the date above. I no longer have the stems or the project file so i'm deciding to mint it here. it has no real title. 

i won't ever forget the time when i sat down at the computer next to those cats. hoping and praying for my feelings to change. the damage had been done and i didn't know how to stop lying to myself. this beat made me come face to face about the connection i had lost with myself, the past, and reality as a whole.

if you collect this, you're the coolest ever. let's call sometime :0

? {01/10/22}

this is malachite. a beat i made last year. malachite was the name of my first pet, a beautiful rambunctious orange tabby cat. 

i'm minting this because a. i love this song and 2. i can't record vocals over it anymore

this will be the only version of malachite available to the world for now. i'm excited to share this since i've been the only one to enjoy it in its entire arrangement for so long. maybe one day we'll hear the finished vocal version.. 

to the person that collects this, you're now my new bestie :)

MALACHITE 3.0

ello there we meet again :0

this is STRS (pronounced stars). a song that was created in sep. 2020. this was the first song that i made completely by myself (i started creating and recording music in 2018) and this is also the first song i made on Ableton (shout out ableton lmao). 

so STRS itself isn't just a love song to another person. It isn't just happiness and pride of falling for someone, feeling those butterflies, and wishing those feelings are returned. STRS was about acceptance of myself. I was begging to find that self love that everyone glamorized. in 2018, for the first time i began to see who REM was. 

This song is SO important to me as it is the first step on the journey and lifeline of remcycles.

I thank all of you for listening to my music and enjoying my sonic signatures and storylines. My music is a journal and biography of my life that i will praise and enjoy til i say peace out from this wonderful world. 

Here's the lyrics for all to enjoy:
coulda sworn you looked familiar!
where’s the time gone, right?
the same place that pretty face
would just dance away with the night
come light my fire just one more time 
would you deem it a crime 
to remind me of
how the
streetlights passed 
our moments?
our emotions
hid in motions.
i missed our passion.
did you notice? 
i’ll roll da highlights in the morning
cause our movie scenes 
will play for centuries
in all my daydreams
so pretty baby

tell me if you want me (darling)
at the top of your lungs 
is there warmth between us?
does it ever burn like the horizons above?
and you won’t believe your eyes
at all the damn stars 
flying through your mind
if  iiiiiii come through tonight

so tell me if you want me
baby i don't know 
what's in yo mind
what's in yo mind
whats in yo miiiiiiind
baby i can't stand it
will you tell me so 
i'll know before you go
OooooOoooOoOoO

tell me if you want me (darling)
at the top of your lungs 
is there warmth between us?
does it ever burn like the horizons above?
and you won’t believe your eyes
at all the damn stars 
flying through your mind
if  iiiiiii come through tonight

so tell me if you want me
tell me if you want me 
darling oooooo no no
tell me if you waaaant me
oh no no no
tell me if you want meee
darling OOooOoooOOo

tell me if you want me babay
tell me if you want me bby
tell me if you want me babay
oh noOOoOoOooo

STRS 3.0

This is a remix of Yebo Life by Tika and Allan Kingdom. The original beat was created from being challenged by a random British guy i met one night in one of kenny beats discord studios. 

I had been sitting on this beat for a minute, i think that was around mid-summer time 2021 it was started. The guitar sample came from the guy from the server and i just built some drums, layed a pad, and then the 808. Later in the fall/winter, i made the bass lines around 1:11 where Tika's verse is. Then I made the outro once I heard their acapellas lol. 

If you collect this, ily and i will send you over the stems to the project. Much love to Tika and Allan for putting out they acapella and also BlkOrchid for coming together to make that amazing track.

Upper Reality

I produced this in 2017.  This was while I was in South Africa tapping into myself right after college, powering through the lost and lonely feelings I was combing through.

Although the feelings of being invisible aren't much better, the ability to just go for it anyway has increased.  So you can hear where I was at when I was just begging for that feeling to come and hold me and walk me through the path to success.

Ahmed Sirour

In the late Autumn of 2008, I was getting more settled into my Master's degree program in Audio Production at the University of Westminster, London (U.K.), and I had had enough classes with my professors in how to setup a live studio recording session and how to work the mixing desk to start practicing on my own without much help from the staff engineers on duty. I want to say this was maybe around November or December of that year. During that time, outside of class, I was still playing live gigs as a part of various bands playing around London, as well as playing at jam sessions at a few open mic spots. One of the musicians I met, in such scenarios, was an American expat guitarist from Florida named Myles Kayne (his last name threw me off because I instinctively mistook it to be the same as a certain well-known, controversial artist, but then I saw the spelling and it was simply pronounced like "cane"). I don't remember exactly how I met Myles, whether on a gig or a jam session, but all I knew was that he was DOPE! He could hit you with some stanky Blues riffs, some mind-blowing funky licks that James Brown would have made many faces and "ughs" to, and then he had that touch that could turn poetic and beautiful like something you'd hear in a somber flamenco or bossa nova ballad. Basically, that cat was nice with it!

I remember inviting him over to hang at one of the studios on campus, as he was really feeling my style of playing and wanted to jam when we both could meet up, and so when he dropped through, I set up the mic for his guitar and recording space so that if we had any good ideas, we'd catch it in the moment (which is how my comedic but true song called "I Don't Like Bananas" came to be that same day/session, but that's another story).

He asked me if I was working on anything, so I let him hear an idea I had that would be the basis of "Warm Rain", but it was only some chord progressions of soft pad sounds that seemed like what you would hear during a yoga session or meditation. He started fiddling around with it, but then I suddenly had a concrete idea for guitar, and since I don't know music theory or read music at all, I had to sing the lines to him (a la George Benson style) for the arrangement I had in mind, and this man mimicked me on guitar to perfection! For the parts that were harmonic (since no one I know but Lalah Hathaway can sing more than one note at a time, simultaneously or harmonically), I played them out on keys. So, quite frankly, the guitar parts you hear in this recording are, note-for-note, my vocal guitar arrangements that he followed me perfectly as I sang them out, and it's one of my favorite tracks, as it is for many others who've told me such over the years, since it and the project were released.

I added the rain sound effects later, after I had recorded and mixed the other keyboard and piano parts that I had added to the final draft. I am honored to have this piece collected by a true music lover, and I hope if this ever is passed on to other collectors over time, they will also appreciate the quality of the work that went into this impromptu but nonetheless inspired session that created this piece of music that I hold dear to me and am proud of.

If I had space, I'd include the stories of fans who've written me about their experiences connected to this song. They are some really moving stories, and are from different parts of the world.

‘ʼBeauty is the consolation for the burden of consciousnessʼʼ

String quartet no. 1 was written in the midst of the corona lockdowns, during a time of deep isolation and itʼs consequent psychological duress. These pieces attempted to throw light into that dark space, seeing beauty as salvation from lifeʼs suffering. As well as having salutary purposes, these compositions served as a tool for self reflection, self discovery and as an exercise in self honesty. Each note was given the necessary time and consideration so as to evoke a feeling of correctness or completeness in me, without arousing a sense of internal conflict. I wanted to arrive at a point of absolute certainty, a feeling that i rarely experience in my everyday life, but with art can be reached with sincerity, reflection and patience.

Movement no. 3:

A fast flow of ideas conveyed through a spirited performance, this piece for string quartet is deceptively playful, disguising its true gravity and darker essence behind fluid dances of folk-like melodies.

Recorded at the MDW in Vienna.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

Peace to Dela....
From Florida to France...
Not only are we key members of the Juicy Jazz Foundation
But we're also hopeless Romantics....

[Verse 1]

"I think i found her / I smile every second i'm around her / and she don't stop, she got energy for hours / I think that bracelet she's wearing carries powers / cus i'm zoning from our very 1st encounter / and I ain't met a girl that's got me feeling this way / not since I had crash back in 5th grade / It's like a sick day, i'm spinning like i'm tipsy / but i'm so sober, head over heals in dismay / may-day I just giggled, this is risky /I don't care, I'm so cool, she can diss me / It doesn't matter cus she's still chilling with me /  Lil Dutchy so inspired this is Lifting / I'm motivated and my life is steady shifting / A new horizon, Butterflies are a gift and / I accept most humbly with quickness"

[Chorus]

"So I just wanna thank you for the Butterflies my love / I take em as a gift from above / and you put this good feeling in my tummy / so even if you not feeling me, you can't take these Butterflies from me / Just wanna thank you for the Butterflies my love / I take you as a gift from above / cus you put this good feeling in my tummy / so even if your the same, you can't take these Butterflies from me "

[Verse 2]

"Funny when you think about the situation, fresh out of a serious relationship / stuck inside with no electric on / few drinks and the rain won't quit / and I can sing about how my started to quick, missed a beat,  blaza blah on some overbearing tip / but I won't (but you did) it's to late (this is it) i'm a firm believer strictly on telling how it is........"

-----------------------------

Backstory:

The Lyrics are the true backstory.  Written shortly after I met [redacted] in 2006.  The Second verse was intentionally cut short but was not supposed to end there.  The original concept was to Document the stages of falling in love as they happen.  The pre-dating phase,  and then whatever happens from there I was going to write about as it happened.   However,  about a year later,  I got word that Rawkus Records wanted to released my Sophomore album but they needed it almost right away.   So I quickly scrambled, sequenced and polished what I could and turned in the album "Crush Your System" as is, unfinished.  Originally intended to be a double disk album,  One Disk Rhymes (Crush Your System)  and the other disk Instrumentals (Music2SleepTo...)  Since Butterflies was so short and endedabruptly,  I decided to Fuse one the instrumentals i produced into the story.  A precursor to the track that followed it.  A Deep House track I made. which must of confused people at the time it was released that A Instrumental Deep House track was on HipHop album with all rhymes haha.   My ex fiance'  is the one who put me onto deep house, which played a major role in my life and how I would hear / feel  / sequence music moving forward.  

I never got to finish writing the original concept and documenting the full stages of the relationship,  But she was really dope,  I loved her alot.  We danced very often.  She was beautiful, intelligent,  inspiring, soulful and driven,  but also super jealous, insecure & more focused on status & perceived value, A weird mixture of Badu & The Kardashians...    I was  an Artist, in my mid 20's,  off my 2nd album, floating through life, not  as as traditionally responsible  and didn't had the same  Life goals or values.   It didn't end well,  starving artist isn't everyone's cup of tea.  It was a dope Arc of my life,  she would probably disagree haha.


Parted ways, and moved onto the next ark.  Entered my first real depressive phase, but ended up being a very progressive phase.  Fall to Rise and all that jazzz.  The Yawn of the Gemini  / Blue Screen of Deaf. / Romanticizing Arc. Until lil Dutchy met his next love & future/last heartt break...... The AnonyMs. Arc (aka The Chill Gawd, Chill / The Uproot Arc)

To be continued.

“real ones” is my first single post-quarantine. Very lucky to have been featured in Ones to Watch, Lyrical Lemonade and Early Rising, and added to Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Pop, anti pop, and hyperpop playlists. I wrote, produced, recorded and mixed this record myself so the support on this one has been really special.

This is my tokenized music debut. I've been independent for my entire career, and I'd love to stay that way, so ownership and creative autonomy are really important to me. Grateful to have been welcomed into the Web3 community and I’m feeling pretty good about the future of music right now. Thanks for being here with me.

Livin like we’re under the blade
Try not to let the world fade
Protect the love left in your heart
Or it might bleed through

Better watch the things you say 
Whatever it is decides your fate
Don’t tell a lie that make you cry
Cuz it will come true

[chorus]

Come alive when you kill something
Pray to god but  you don’t believe
You never dream if you’re sleepwalkin 

Wake up don’t forget to breathe
Boom boom it’s a new heart beat
You never dream if you’re sleepwalkin

The time is really getting late
Maybe we’ll talk another day
Won’t you hold me in your thoughts
So I don’t fall through

Gotta see the light in grey
There’s always somethin to celebrate
When you find the path you want
Let it release 
Release you

[chorus]

It’s like I’m lookin through a window
I might be losing my sight
How can I tell if it’s real
It’s pretty lifelike

It’s like I’m lookin through a window
I might be losing my mind
How can I tell if it’s real

Something bout it ain’t…. right

Really grateful to have found this space and to press this record. Even more grateful for you if you scoop it up.

About:

“Fire” is a song that was inspired by the back and forth mind games I used to play with an old love interest. Late nights, lust, passion, and anger are some of the emotions I channelled into this song. Although I found the whole experience with her unbearable at times, we both were attracted to the thrill of it all in the end. It was this duality of emotions that I needed to get off my chest, and thus the creation of “Fire” was born.
