A Summer update ~ 

July 22nd, 2024

Greetings! 

Summer is breezing right along!

"The Bless Ups Mon" - the latest release from French Street Gumbo that I produced (and feature on) has been out a few weeks now and makin' the rounds as a fun Summer reggae bop to chill too in a mad World.

 

More meditation music is on the way by the Fall...the Dynamic Duo project w/ vocalist Elijah Pringle is gaining steam...and I'm performing alot more often as a solo artist, including singing! 

Scroll on to read more!  : )

"Always There" - A Piano Odyssey

#pianomusic #solopiano #odyssey . . . 10+ minutes of solo piano!?? Why of course, why else would you be here! :p This is a piano odyssey indeed...one of those inspired moments where the idea just flows and flows and continues to build upon itself, and then a second section just naturally evolves out of the first thing, and I can't let it loose until i feel i've exhausted it's full potential. And then maybe throw in a third bonus jam at the end, just because. (see timestamps) "Always There" is dedicated to let's call it - The Reality of Pure Presence - the Abiding Self that is simply witnessing ALL of life - in its Ups, Downs, & Sideways moments. I've been meditating on this most consistent aspect of our awareness and how it truly is the bedrock to it all. It's...always there. I hope this inspired musical riffing makes you feel something too, and it could be something totally different than my experience. And that's totally valid too. I'm still working on improving my phone-recorded audio quality. So, apologies for some of the harshness of the sound...the good news is I'm only getting better at dialing in my sound, so thanks for your patience ;) In any case I'd greatly appreciate a like, a comment, and/or a share of this video! . . .

Julian Hartwell - Sacral Resonance (feat. Evolvlove)

#sacralresonance #meditation #meditationmusic #newagemusic #ambient . . . "Sacral Resonance" is the second single in my epic collab with sound healer Kirk Jones AKA Evolvlove. Stream the new single here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/7HLc4OGV4IJIrCH7HkoffS?si=ePcLD-fHTI6otlk5tj4QYg Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/sacral-resonance-feat-evolvlove/1716837840?i=1716837841 Download/Purchase: https://julianhartwell.bandcamp.com/track/sacral-resonance-feat-evolvlove Thanks to an absolutely majestic thunderstorm captured live by Kirk from a farmhouse in the Berkshires, a set of beautiful tuning forks, and his sacral chakra bowls played gracefully to create just the right type of binaural beat...the inspiration to record an equally magical piano part and transform these sounds into a full sonic journey was a given from the start. Perhaps the "storm" undergirding this track is indeed meant to conjure that potent energy center of the human body - the Sacral or Navel chakra, known as "Svadhisthana" in the Sanskrit - governing our creative expression, sensuality, and sexuality. The power and energy of this center has the potential to create, as well as to destroy...the responsibility of which lies in the wielder. "Sacral Resonance" is the second single in a series of potent artistic collaborations with Evolvlove (evolvlove.com) as we prepare the release of our full-length album, 'Halcyon Listening Room' coming early 2024. Be on the lookout for our third single dropping early December!

LYRICS Everybody has their own Kryptonite Everybody here’s just tryin To get it Right Straight out the starting line With the fire inside You got heart for the win And there’s strength in your stride Out here lookin the best Nothin you can be told You got faith in your steps Commanding full control And so you throw the first punch All bettin' on that knock out But deep down there’s a hunch Growin' to king-sized doubt Cause there’s somethin’ you forgot Although ya really tried to hide Whether ya like it or not, Yeah you can't deny... (that) Everybody has Their own Kryptonite Every super-hero Sometimes, has themself to fight Nobody's first to come clean In this game of bein' Right All caught up in the seems That’s how we lose our Sight A script with all the best Lines In a movie called Self A million pies in the sky While humble stays on the Shelf We strive to be so pure get everything down pat But with this Beast at the Door Seems it ain’t where it’s at So go on poke a little more Through my iron man suit Think I’m done bein' so sure (I'm going forward) Lest I’m caught in the rearview... Sometimes it’s all you got Make no mistake Time to get the hint Gotta make your Escape Not the way I’d have it If it was up to me Gotta know your Weakness To really break free Don’t let it get you Down Fight till the End Sometimes your weakness Is your very best Friend Put on your cape It’s time for the show Ya might as well try Even though we well know ooo-oo... (that) Everybody has.. their own Kryptonite. Yeah i tell you what, i tell you what It's that Kryptonite You know we all got It Let's be real tonight Let's just feel, tonight And lean into that Kryptonite... . . . . . .
