Matthew Sforcina spawns a Meme worth celebrating

Matthew Sforcina Meme

Matthew Sforcina's "Meme" is zen-state stimulating music (FREE DOWNLOAD)

I’ve been listening to Matthew Sforcina’s musical exploits for the past few months on and off and generally have been mildly amused and slightly impressed by his work. But earlier this week I had the real pleasure of listening to Sforcina’s latest not-for-profit album called, “yod kaf meme.” You can download “yod kaf meme” for free by clicking HERE. The first two songs, are clever but the real gem of the album is “meme.” This song incorporates experimental, ambient and eerie elements to create a piece of music that is definitely worth celebrating. When I first listened to the beginning of “meme” I was instantly drawn into a Zen state of relaxation. The ambient rain-forest sounds set my mind at ease. There are sounds of birds and either rainfall or a distant waterfall. It is very soothing and listening to it on headphones was like being wrapped in a blanket of contentment. I love how the song stays with this feeling and state for a substantial length of time. It shows that Sforcina truly understands that sublimation of distraction and standard emotional states takes more than just a 15 second hook.

The transition between the rain-forest intro to the first verse melds into place with a violin and piano. They remind me of a meditation bowl, being hit at the perfect time to send the mind deeper and deeper. Then the drums kick in a mechanical and deliberate fashion. It is jarring yet appreciated because you are prepared for it. When Sforcina sings he does so with spoken word accuracy and rhythm, while retaining an unending melody. His words hit hard and the music is both disturbing and serene.

Meme is a great piece of music because it can be listened to over and over again due to its stages and uniqueness. But most of all the place it brings the listener to is so special that it borders on the sacred. Sforcina’s music is usually very intimate. But this time he outdid himself by a long-shot. Meme is both recognition of oneness as well as the entrance to a parallel consciousness. I’d be lying if I said I’ll ever be the same again.

lyrics
Time in Horizon 

****** VERSE-1A

Yo if we’re bein’ ‘tacked by the net
then you can bet
That we got something here that’s big-to-fret

or maybe this is the plan
bound mind in a jam
to get us all lined up and eatin’ spam

but I just want some truth
-from any source
-that’ll gimme some proof

and you ask me to choose?
which side I want to lose?
-what’s the ruse?
when the alarm rings I’ll hit the snooze

***

Something’s changing
-there’s a new system being built
It’s triumphant without guilt
-it’s a river without silt

It’s by design
-from our minds so sublime
-It takes time
-do more than wait in line

I question myself
Do I really do enough?
Have I narrowed my course?
Have I smoothed out the rough?

With each step of hope
-I find it surprising
I look to the west
-my last time in Horizon

*****CHORUS

What’s the question to the answer?
-baby?
-ya Together We’ll find out the truth

What’s the purpose of the potion?
-baby?
We can heal the most painful wounds!

What’s the motion of the ocean?
-baby?
Where’s it all really flowing to?

When’s the best time for devotion?
-baby?
You know something that I never knew.

***** VERSE 2

There’s sand in my hair
dirt in my veins
-yo It’s all up in my brains

as I feel the earth
cry across the plains

So I listen to the west
-as the wind manifests
the one and final test
–locked inside humanities chest

And it beats with precision
senses change in seasons
venus switched positions
Deus Omni Terra synchro’nition

I’m on a mission
to venerate the old traditions
we need technicians
to simply solve the solid transition!

*****CHORUS****

***** VERSE 3

We got lines of ley
-being drawn into the fray
Connecting random locations
-with some binary notation

And the water underneath
-like a sword in its sheath
sends signals to the heath
-for new life to bequeath

It’s all a big pattern
-look far enough away
Every little thing matters
-so never waste a day

Purpose ain’t free
you gotta know where to look
Sometimes to understand the king
you gotta learn to play the rook

***

Yet it’s the struggle
-that makes us stronger
-For we’ll live longer
if we build instead of monger
-if we fight against the hunger

And we’ll thrive,
do more than just survive
It takes sight
to appreciate the light

it’s not the question that’s aggression
it’s refusal of the lesson
in the face of a depression
we find logical regression

what’s the point-?
if you can’t find the slope
fell too far?
then let’s make a longer rope

****CHORUS

Darius has bestowed upon us the Silver Haze

Silver Haze MP3 download

Download Silver Haze by Darius for free by clicking the picture

Listening to mind-blowing music is one of the best things that any person can do with their time. So if you are going to listen to music, you might as well listen to the best. And “Silver Haze” by Darius is definitely one of the best. Click here to download the song for free. Darius is a supremely talented and powerful musician who shares that energy with his music. Silver Haze opens with psychedelic guitar sounds that make you feel like you are warping into the song from another dimension. Then the drums kick in and calibrate your mind to accept the music in all its splendor. When the main guitar riff begins, along with beautifully timed guitar feedback, you will thank yourself for downloading the song. Silver Haze has a unique feel that nods to 1970’s rock while utilizing current Hi-Fi production techniques. The overall sound has a very full feel, and seriously deserves to be turned up. The music sounds great on headphones, but I really recommend you listen to it loud in the car, or on high quality studio monitors, or a home stereo system.

Darius uses a bass line that sounds noble and honorable. It elevates you. This kind of music does more than just makes you feel good, it takes you somewhere. When I listen to the bass guitar I can easily hear the soulfulness and heroic wisdom of the music’s creator. It is something to be cherished. And the best part is that Silver Haze is a substantial song that is 6 minutes and 5 seconds long. It is nourishing and enlightening.

The vocals in Silver Haze rock and there are vocal effects during in the chorus and other areas. Darius doesn’t hold back and it makes the song rule. The vocals make you appreciate the music and totally set you up for the ultimate guitar solo. But the guitar solo isn’t just a solo because there are multiple guitar lines harmonizing with themselves. So it is more like a guitar victory. I’d be really surprised if this song isn’t taught in music school in the future.

Another great thing about Silver Haze, is that it is exciting the whole way through. The intensity stays throughout the piece and you will not even notice the six minutes go by. One way that Darius achieves this is by having a varied and clean sound. Even though there is a lot going on during each measure, you can hear everything clearly and enjoy it. It is truly music craftsmanship created with the passion of a poet and the precision of an ancient focused mind.

Yeah, so I think I exploded my Facebook today

Blip.fm may make your facebook explode

Yeah, so I think I exploded my Facebook today. I was experimenting with this new program/website called blip.fm What you can do with it is become your own DJ and play music from different sources like YouTube and other places. It is pretty cool because there are lots of songs to choose from. And some of the music is more rare. Unfortunately some of the songs are fake. So when you DJ you need to be mindful of your music and prune the ads from the actual songs. But once you get it up and running Blip.fm is pretty rad. I am playing some Earth Nation right now. The song is called Transfiguration. So tight. OK so you’re probably wondering how this program blew up my Facebook. Well, there is an option in Blip.fm to sync with your Facebook. And I thought, “I have a Facebook profile. So why don’t I just link ’em up?” YEAH, I guess I didn’t realize how excited I got about blipping new songs on my Blip.fm account because I must have blipped like over 20 songs and then my Facebook application blew up and froze on me. It said try Facebook later. I was like, “For REEL?”  >:(   That was 100% No Good.

UPDATE: Now my Facebook is back up and I changed the settings so I don’t post blips anymore to my page. I think this is better. If you are just going to blip every once in a while, then turning this option on is cool. But if you are a serious blipper like me then you should probably turn this setting OFF for GOOD.

Werd.
