Riding the Wheels

Sacred Spinning Woman,
Spin the Wheels For Me,
For I am on a journey,
Many worlds to see.
I shall ride the wheels of Fire,
Water, Earth, Air.
Sacred Spinning Woman,
Can you show me where?

Sisters of the Wyrd,
Weave a cloak for me.
For I am on a journey,
Between the worlds to be.
I shall ride the wheels ,
Of faith and dreams,
Of wisdom and free mind.
Sisters of the Wyrd,
Can you tell me what I'll find?

Witches of the Winds,
Clear the way for me.
For I am on a journey,
The worlds of Self to see.
I shall ride the wheels of life,
To Spirit and beyond.
Witches of the Winds,
Send helpers, true and fond.

Grandmother Crystal Woman,
Light the night for me.
For I am on a journey,
In shadow worlds to be.
I shall ride the wheels of vision,
Strength and harmony.
Grandmother Crystal Woman,
Hear me, touch me, heal me.

This weekend, I completed and added Spider's Tapestry to the site. You will notice that there in the Songs Section that there is two versions of the song: Spider's Tapestry (Ambient Spinner Mix) and Spider's Tapestry which is the original version with Drums. Elim says it makes him think of a mixture between Tool and Hans Zimmer.

This is probably the most complex song that I've put together as of yet. I had to use two Mixer Racks in Reason, one for Drums and another for Instruments. Inspiration came from a sample used at the beginning of the piece and made me think of the 3 Fates from Greek Mythology.

With all of the new things that I've learned over the past year, I almost want to go back and remix Zephyr. Take the Nanoloop Drum Sounds that I used and add some additional Loops as well a couple more Instrument Layers. I feel that would add more diversity to the song and give it some depth.

I've also revamped the site with some new graphics I created this weekend, updated the photos of my equipment on the Tools and Instruments page, as well as cleaning up the Songs section a bit. It's organized by year now, so they're easier to sort. My next goal will be to embed a Music Player in the Songs area and create an RSS Feed for the site, so stay tuned! Lots of changes in the works. :)

Elim has been out of town this weekend, so I've been working on music and completed To To Infinity Without End.

I also did a bit of tweaking in Audition with the Panning Effects before exporting it to MP3.

Download and tell me what you think. :)

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of live.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.

Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.
