RORSCHACH BY TITO ANTON
TRACKLISTING
1. PHASES
INSPIRED BY CHANGE. SEASONS, DAY AND NIGHT, THE PHASES OF THE MOON, LIFE ITSELF. CHANGE IS THE ONE CONSTANT IN AN EVOLVING PERSON. THIS IS WHAT THE MUSIC FEELS LIKE IN MY MIND, CAPTURED THROUGH A TIME LAPSED LENS. THE MELODIES MAKE YOU ZONE OUT AND FEEL THIS.
2. FREE FEAT. ALAN WATTS
COUNTER-CULTURE. SUCCESS IS MOST TIMES DEFINED BY THE EXPECTATIONS OF OTHERS. WE LET OTHERS DETERMINE WHAT SUCCESS IS, LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE AND DON'T LIVE IN OUR PURPOSE. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE CONFINED BY THIS. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE WHAT MAKES US HAPPY AND REDEFINE WHAT SUCCESS REALLY MEANS TO EACH OF US. THIS SONG IS MEANT TO HELP YOUR MIND WANDER AND THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES THAT EXIST WHEN WE CHOOSE TO OPEN OUR EYES, MINDS AND HEARTS. THE WORDS OF ALAN WATTS ARE SIMPLY ICING ON THE CAKE TO HELP PUSH THIS MESSAGE.
3. L.E.S. 3AM
THIS IS THE AUDIO OF THE ENERGY AND VIBE I'VE FELT PARTYING AT THE BARS, LOUNGES AND CLUBS IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE OF MANHATTAN. MOST NIGHTS I'D ENJOY A DRINK, SITTING IN THE CUT AND JUST TAKE IN THE SIGHTS; THE COLLECTIVE OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE NYC HAS, VIBING TO ECLECTIC TUNES, DRINKS FLOWING, PARTYING TO THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING AND THEN GRABBING A SLICE OF PIZZA RIGHT AFTER. NIGHTS THAT LEFT A UNIQUE FEELING INGRAINED IN MY MIND. THIS TRACK IS ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS ENCAPSULATED.
4. ELECTRICITY
TECHNOLOGICAL THRILLER. PICTURE A SCENE FROM A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE MOVIE; A CLUB IN PRAGUE WHERE THE PARTY IS GOING ON IN THE FOREGROUND BUT, IN THE BACKGROUND, THE REAL ACTION IS TAKING PLACE; A TRANSACTION GONE WRONG WHERE A CHASE ENSUES THROUGH THE CLUB. HIGH ENERGY, FAST PACE. IT'S THE FEELING OF PURSUIT; A TOTAL ADRENALINE RUSH.
5. EXOTISK DANS
INSPIRED BY THE CAREFUL DANCE MOVES SEEN IN #BOLLYWOOD MOVIES AND THE MELODIES THAT DRIVE THEM, EXOTISK DANS IS A COLLECTIVE OF NOTES PLAYING SEDUCTIVELY OFF OF EACH OTHER; FLIRTING OVER A HOUSE DRIVEN RHYTHM. IT'S A BATTLE TO SEE WHO WINS, WHO SURRENDERS, AND WHICH OVERTAKES WHICH. THERE IS NO SINGULARITY IN THE CHEMISTRY; ONE CANNOT EXERT ALLURE WITHOUT THE OTHER. THE PROGRESSION CALCULATED AND CHANGES FLOWING INTO EACH OTHER SEAMLESSLY; CAREFULLY LEADING THE LISTENER TO THE GRAND FINALE.
6. LOSE IT
24 HOURS OF THE DAY CONDENSED INTO 8 MINUTES. LIKE MOST, MY DAY STARTS OFF CHAOTIC; CHAOS PREPARING FOR THE DAY AHEAD. THIS IS FOLLOWED BY A REGULAR, ALMOST ROBOTIC ROUTINE THAT I EXPERIENCED IN A CORPORATE 9-5 WORK DAY. 5:00PM FEELS LIKE AN ESCAPE FROM CAPTIVITY AND A LUNGE TOWARD FREEDOM. SOME NIGHTS MIGHT LEAD TO AFTER WORK DRINKS AT A MIXER. OTHERS TO A TRIP TO AN ART GALLERY, OR A SPECIAL MEAL WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER. AND IN THOSE MOMENTS THE ROBOTIC AND MUNDANE IS LOST. "LOSE IT": A SOUNDTRACK TO A CONTEMPORARY DAY-IN-THE-LIFE.
7. DOUX REVE
NYC IS THE WORLD'S MELTING POT. BEING EXPOSED TO THE VARIOUS CULTURES THE CITY HAS, I COULDN'T HELP BUT ASSIMILATE TO THE SOUNDSCAPES THEY PRODUCED. THEIR INFLUENCE IS ALMOST SUBLIMINAL; THE RHYTHMS I HEAR WALKING AROUND THE CITY HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY BECOME PART OF MY MUSICAL PSYCHE. DOUX REVE, WHICH MEANS SWEET DREAM, WAS INFLUENCED BY THE SOUNDS OF NUYORICAN SAXOPHONES, NU WAVE SYNTHS & DEEPHOUSE PERCUSSION. THE COMBINATION OF STYLES IS REMINISCENT OF A 1980'S BLOCK PARTY. CAN YOU FEEL IT?
8. OBJIX
THE FINAL TRACK: A MUSICAL MEDLEY, WHERE DIFFERENT VIBES ARE COMBINED TO CREATE ONE. INDUSTRIAL SOUNDS, JUNGLE HOUSE, EDM, HIP HOP DRUMS AND SYNTH MELODIES COLLIDE. THERE REALLY WAS NO RHYME OR REASON WITH THIS TRACK; I JUST LET THE CREATIVITY FLOW AND THE FINAL OUTCOME WAS WHAT THIS PROJECT IS ALL ABOUT: AN EXPERIMENTATION WITH SOUNDS SO THAT YOU, THE LISTENER, CAN DEFINE THE MOOD.
