HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: STEPPING INTO SOCIETY

Transitioning back into a predictive…

…safe environment didn’t settle well with my inner juju or whatever the yogi bears want to call it. I just ain’t the same no more. Every moment that I intervene with society, its basic work schedules and life chores, it is becoming a harsh reminder that I probably can’t and won’t grow up anytime soon. I’ll be happily stuck here if I can’t find my own way through the obscure. I no longer desire to play for dollar incentives. I want real life experiences. Real emotion influenced from within; if not the best then give me the worst, it only adds colors to the spectrum and force feeds perspective into the dull mind.

Believe me, I was going through the motions for four years up until recently. In hopes of safety and security; only to receive a lifeless slow death with no free time, plus a couple dollars I couldn’t figure how to spend. The American Dream! Mustn’t be for me. I’d rather be down and out. Instead of living in doubt, working towards some other man’s dream.

Now there are some folks who have it all mapped out. They are hard workers, passionate, and have found an avenue of life in which they can express themselves and reward themselves from within. Some rooted to family, some to ridiculously oversized immovable instruments, and others just content with settling. Every man and woman has their place in this world, I suppose out on the road is mine – for now. It’s just the internal struggle of living one’s life geared toward payments and bills that is scaring me off currently. I want freedom. Freedom without a debt to society and without a mundane routine to achieve stability. I’ll find it, or die trying, just the same as the individuals I’ve met along the way who have provided me with shelter and warmth alongside positive memories and hope.

Songs My Mother Taught Me

INTERPRETATION: SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME

Charles Ives believed in the power of interpretation. There are countless perspectives to look at a single melody line from. One might be smooth and gentle, while the other rigid and chaotic. How a melody line is interpreted is also entirely subjective. This piece is our tribute to Charles Ives’ philosophy on music and what he did with it. Original lyrics by Antonín Dvořák, interpreted by Ives, then interpreted by MYCST.

Theravada

SONG: THERAVADA – MANTRA & THE UNIVERSE

“Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but making the darkness conscious.” – Carl Jung

 

The most beautiful thing about sharing a musical canvas is the insight into a different world of thought. A great collaboration is like having a stimulating conversation, where both parties are always enthralled by what they have to say. In this exchange, Ichion had a track of ambient, glitchy sounds in which he specializes. We used that energy – the swells of glass-textured sound waves, the prickling static – and wrote a melody and lyrics that were appropriate for both the music and song title.

“Theravada” is a devout school of Buddhism drawing its teachings from the earliest record of such knowledge. When first listening to Ichion’s initial track, we couldn’t help but recognize the constant droning of a low frequency. Our guess was that it was Ichion’s intent to reference Buddhist chanting, such as the OM mantra. The first who used this kind of meditation must have been aware of its physiological effects on the body. According to Ajay Anil Gurjar and Siddharth A. Ladhake’s journal on “Time-Frequency Analysis of Chanting Sanskrit Divine Sound “OM” Mantra”, they state that “Mantra is intrinsically related to sound and sound is reverberating in everything in this universe. A Mantra is a sound repeated over and over until it integrates into our consciousness – frees the mind from its constant doing, and elevates us to an altered state of awareness.” In other words, frequency is the catalyst of our world, so how could it not affect our body?
