HEY GI JOE
Posted in Music on Nov 24th, 2015
Well you all of course remember the song Hey Joe, been covered a zillion times and by Jimi Hendrix of course (most famous version), so I was just riffing and then hit record. Back to the ol roots. Reminds me of many a jam with me friends...

LOOKING INTO IT (COLLAB VERSION 2.0) - SOUNDBOARD TINKERERS - ZEPH DANIEL
Soundboard Tinkerers' Johns sent me a track and asked me to have a go at it. He had heard some of my tracks and thought it was a good match. I heard the track and thought, wow, now there's a hook if I ever heard one, but knew right away I wanted to rearrange for impact, and Johns gave me that approval, so off I went into Soundboard Tinkerers land!
I added a number of drum bits and syncopated effects as well as a vocal rearrangement. I played synths throughout as well.
I believe Soundboard Tinkerers released the track as "Looking Into It" so I'm releasing it here as a new track based on the same track. It's really a remix and rearrangement.
This is a very clever hook and groove that Johns has going, and believe this should be on radio, in clubs, etc etc.. a crowd pleaser. Hope I helped in that regard. - Z

CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED - DCP

C̶̅H̶̅I̶̅L̶̅D̶̅R̶̅E̶̅N̶̅ ̶̅O̶̅F̶̅ ̶̅T̶̅H̶̅E̶̅ ̶̅D̶̅A̶̅M̶̅N̶̅E̶̅D̶̅ - Death Camp Parade
Rich Keltron Keltner: Main composition, guitars, drums, synths
Zeph Daniel: Live and designed drums, bass, lyrics, melody, vocals
Rich Keltner sent me his composition and the first thing I noticed was the new tone he's got on guitars--simply amazing analog tone through and through.
The track had a really catchy opening and middle part. I played live bass and took the simple drum part and added live and designed drums.
Then to the lyrics... -- all I can say is I'm feeling like a train wreck when writing the words and tracking the vocals. Maybe that's a good thing, I'll let you be the judge.
Finally, Death Camp Parade, our studio project band, has produced a lot of tracks over the past 3 years and more in the works. Thanks for the love and support!
Children of the Damned
Lyrics by Zeph Daniel
Yay!
What you reap
is what they let you have
Isn’t that just so kind?
Blows my mind.
What you get in life
is what they let you have
If you’re politically correct
conformed to society
What they let you have
is not deserved
You gained by what you do
to others
Who mean you no harm
Shame on you
Yeah yeah!
What they let you have
What they let you do
it’s not up to you
Sell your children
to the highest bidder!
Sell you soul---
Pretend you earned it!
Of a life well spent
So your conclusion?
It was all heaven sent!
Kill yourselves!
Make the world a better place
Conform!
And join the human race
Children of the damned… children… of the……………..

***********************************************
This is a tune inspired and in appreciation for people and musicians we have come to know on the cloud here but also about the changing of weather conditions in life and through the season of life (in music)
So it is a loose concept piece in a sense. I was looking to do something instrumental and I wanted to work again with Jaime who I think just did an amazing job with her contributions and is in places you may would not have known were Jaime (see parts) All of her work was done on the piano and some was modeled with other effects to add a new layer to her talents here.
Then we passed off to Zeph who started this thing with a drum loop he sent me that got me going and then he added his drum design to the rest of the piece and some instrumentation that I just think fit so well and again (see parts) His mix on this was stellar and I could not be happier with the way everyone vibed this groove. We had much fun together doing it.
Vocal parts written by Jaime with a bit of ThePhaige in there
This aint a song with lyrical content
This aint no play on words
just a musical dynamic we be playing for you
from us the instrumental_istic nerds
Sometimes our music speaks for us
Not guided by lyrics..or voices…
guided only…by the musical must …
we are all just sitting here on this cloud
filled with angels that are you
who support, encourage and dream
we wish to say thankyou from this
musical creatin team

They We Us
Jaime J Ross: Vocals,Piano
ThePhaige: Lyric,Vocal,Guitar,Bass,Synth
Zeph Daniel: Production & tweaks
*****************************
This is a tune about those times when the world around us gets small and we need to reach out and around to the ones we trust for strength, guidance and direction. It has some deeper personal meanings as well that I will leave to interpretation.
This tune was a bit more alternative jazzy and I am so amazed at how Jaime can adapt to all musical situations I toss her way. I was wanting some of that low register with Jaimes vocal on this with splashes of her natural range and so I double tracked her vocal. There are actually two Jaimes singing here one a baritone and the other the Jaime we all know and love. I also told her I was wanting some piano for the piece and she just comes up with the coolest melodies and grooves, about how she comes up with lyrics...in minutes...lol amazing she iz
We were going to get Zeph in on this and we were looking at some live drums, and other things but upon placing the mix he felt the drums I had arranged were cool and he also was on a limited time schedule so he graciously did the mix and production for us and I could not be happier with his involvement here.
****************************
They emote things in an around that only you can know
They subtly twisting on with their phantazmic laden show
They remotely view your dance in this convex picture play
They nudge you to the perceivable choice oh that is their way
They sequester you en route to that party in your mind
They don't perplex about your plight by cause theyz not your kind
Magnitude all proportion .... capacities unkind
Elemental contortions... volatility entwined
Free flowing resonance ... physicality expanse
scale,range and radius... territorial domain unto this dance
We undergo the changing winds in this naturalistic expanse
We discern all divergence with a focus generated glance
We apprehend the emotional content sweeping our inner depth
We encompass the calamity with an impassioned circumspection breadth
We hang onto all the virtues of the light and tunnel bearing with at the end
We secure all obtainable outcomes from which our etiquette's extend
Magnitude all proportion .... capacities unkind
Elemental contortions... volatility entwined
Free flowing resonance ... physicality expanse
scale,range and radius... territorial domain unto this dance
Our initial response was to affix this to the machine
Our distant inclinations sense a quantum generated scene
Our research indicates a legion of six thousand at least
Our reliance on divine order brought a supreme victory increase
Our lives come with a price to the reflection of this epic campaign
Our choices and whom we trust determines the level of refrain.
They We US
what we need to overcome this obtuse reality
They We Us
how well get through the depths of hard core immorality
They We us
The ingredients for freedom from the grips of totality
They We Us
To overcome and maintain rock solid mentality
They We Us
