Hidden Alias Unlocked! 🔓 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🎹Undisciplined Chord Fumbler, Sonofziggy. 🎹 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ This is 1:35 minute snippet from the 17:15 song "Long Story Short" (Day 10)[Part I] which was the second to last song created in the series in 2020, before revisiting this series and this session one last time in early 2021 and adding a touch of "Evolving Portals" to the final track in the series "Long Story Short" (Day 10) [Hiatus - Part II] ⬛◼◾▪ This one take, long form documented series was birthed in 2014 in Upstate New York, After reuniting w/ my pops "Ziggy" on a secluded mountain "Sam's Point Nature Preserve" ⬛ Long Story Short, We had not spoken in over a decade prior to that visit that turned into a year living together, healing wounds, and bonding... ⬛⬛⬛⬛ We both talk a lot....  Long Winded..      I must get it from my pops because the most common phrase that comes out of his mouth is "Long Story Short" ⬛⬛⬛⬛ This series was born after taking turns playing each other music that we loved..  He was putting me on to his abstract Jazz Fusion and Folk, Prog Rock Collection, and I was putting him onto hip-hop, and I obviously made a lot of music while there.   ⬛⬛⬛⬛ One day he said, 💬 "Dutch, I really dig your music, but I don't understand what your doing, you're not playing an instrument, your just sampling other peoples music" ⬛I did my best to show him I turned Samples into instruments, but he kept taunting me.... ⬛So I said ⬛⬛💬"Bet!. I don't know music theory and don't play instruments (other than the drums) but let's turn this into a fun challenge you can witness as it happens"  ⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ So on October 1st, 2014...    "Long Story Short" (Day One) was created in front of him, in real time, one take, fumbling through the unknown and recording the entire process. ⬛⬛⬛ A Few Days Later,  I Began uploading the series on a secret soundcloud account. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴soundcloud.com/son-of-ziggy🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ I would dabble with the series over the next few years, all using the same process...   One Take, Long Form, Improv Sessions Documented. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ This unlocked my affinity for creating live, in the moment in completely unknown territory.  I had already been freestyling since the mid 90's, but something about recording these long form sessions lit my neurons on fire in a way, intentionally creating and finalizing a track no longer did. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛ The Daily Rambles (Reluctant Clap) Series was born a year later. ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 2015-2022 Tascam DR-05 Freestyles: ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴dutchmassive.bandcamp.com/album/the-reluctant-clap-daily-rambles🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ...and around mid 2018, "Evolving Portals" began, A Series with the same principle and methods applied, only I do this with creating instrumentals in the DAW...   ⬛ I still make "normal/digestible" music, but honestly, I'd rather just enter the flow state and have fun experimenting in the great unknown and documenting the entire process. ⬛ I can't create a starter pack on blockchain without paying tribute to the first piece of art/music I minted... ⬛ On 2.5.21 I minted "Long Story Short" (Day 8) on Rarible... ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴 rarible.com/token/0x60f80121c31a0d46b5279700f9df786054aa5ee5:185748 🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ and I haven't stopped adding art/music to the forever library since... ⬛ If you would like to own the 1/1 of the photo taken moments before my rapid little fingers began this series. ⬛ You can view/collect it below, where I do more world building around my albums and chapters in life in general. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🔴foundation.app/@PeacePeaceGawd/uproot/13🔴 ⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛ Unlock the alias officially?!?!? ⚪ Maybe I'll return to recording this series and release some sessions that never left my hard drive <3
