REZARECTION I

Dear Rezanatorz,

On Friday, I decided to release some material from my Garage Band library. I had Content on there that I had been sitting on for quite a while, a lot of it incomplete. I produced this material myself using stock machines/loops and some samples that I discovered/tweaked/filtered. I ultimately, wanted to give those that are following, a glimpse into my mind.

"REZARECTION I" is simple and incomplete, and yet it's still here. And, its a piece of Mike. It's the crooning of a boy trying to find his way in Chicago whilst getting sidetracked by the muses from time to time. It's the way my heart is beating these days, and I'm looking forward to piecing together "REZARECTION II" in the coming years and seeing how my sound/production abilities continue to grow as I soak up the skills of the talented spirits the world has begun to surround me with.

An artist that I admire (Tennessee Loveless) once told me to "pick up the pieces and use what you have," so I just dug into the library and shared my art. Sharing is important, and some of these projects date back to 2013, so that was kind of cool to get that material out there now. (Especially, since most of the muses aren't in my life anymore!) These songs all came from somewhere, and yes its a little broken apart/poorly mixed/ unmastered, but I did it myself (on a simple DAW) and therefore I'm proud of it.

I'm planning on building the songs "Aaliyah" and "RELAPZE" into future singles and look forward to performing them live.

Those of you following, I hope you enjoy the project, and I look forward to bringing you new music this Spring/Summer. The link to my Soundcloud is below as well as the track list. (It is only 22 Minutes. Take a listen, and let me know if you digz!)

Special shout out to my Queenz from Glitter Moneyyy (yo, Ash & Tay!!!) for helping me realize that "REZARECTION" was a pretty dope title (which got the "TT Approval" on Easter when she said "That's bad ass",) and I'm looking forward to giving you all at least 5 REZARECTION tapes before I die! [Just wait until this guy gets Ableton/ProTools :-)]

Journey

Sometimes, this part of my journey feels like a joke to me.
It feels as if God is up there laughing at me with all of her angels.
Then, I dust myself off and say "this is the part where we build character."

My whole life (or as far as I can remember,) I've been crippled with Anxiety/ Depression. I remember randomly crying under beds, behind couches, even in kitchen cabinets when my tiny body still fit. I always knew that what I had deep inside of me was something to be "seen" and the power behind it often led me to sadness/fear of the unknown.

Anyways, I presently, do not like the desk job that I'm working, I'm grateful for the income, but I do not like the monotony and constant buzz of phones. I like my coworkers, but this is not my destiny. I'm getting fat behind a desk to pay my bills, and that's not fun. I don't like the way my ears feel afterwards, or the way my voice feels. I don't like it, but right now I "need" it, because its safe.

Who am I talking to on here anyway? Who do I think I am?  Who do I even think that I am? No ones listening/reading, No one cares, and yet for some reason the film keeps playing.

I feel empty.
I feel alone.
I feel blue.

Then, I dust myself off and say "this is the part where we build character."
