Description : I've made a ton of music the past couple years but haven't posted or done much of anything with it. Now it's time. I'm working with Sunny War, a great singer and blues guitarist who I met while she was busking on Venice Beach, on a protest album called APOCALYPSE. I write the songs and orchestrate with loops, then Sunny does her thing in the studio. Sometimes we'll leave some or all of the loops, sometimes they all go. For this one I used only two drum loops. Sunny did the rest - vocals and bass, rhythm and lead guitars. (She's pretty amazing.) I had to select a genre so I selected "Rock" but I think of this style as psychedelic blues funk rock. I'd very much appreciate your feedback.

Hey MrMofo, very very very cool! Love the Doorish vibe throughout (please excuse the comparison but from the very first note this dripped with the Lizard King's influence ) Sunny War has indeed some superb guitar licks and vocals, a talented lass! speaking of which they are placed perfectly within the mix ..totally awesome that this collaboration started at the famed Venice Beach, which unsurprisingly is where The Doors cut their teeth, it's always a pleasure to witness genuine talent and I suspect with your less than fragile eggshell like mind you'll both deliver some outstanding work together, you have just made another fan!...cheers Dave/Planetjazzbass :)

Hey Dave, I appreciate your comments very much, especially as I've used and admired your loops many's the time over the years. Believe me I'll take the Doors comparison - I'll take it away and cuddle with it for a while with a dreamy smile. And yeah that day on Venice Beach was a life-changer. I needed a singer, and the universe provided. The universe is usually kicking me in the nuts and laughing maniacally ... but now I have to say we're even.

This really is an excellent, sumptuous, classy piece of music. Sunny War is a very talented singer and blues guitarist. Even just the first second of this is great, really hitting the sweet emotional spot.

I will return to do a much more comprehensive review later as I'm in a bit of a rush now.

Great work and I look for ward to the Sunny War + you album.

Thanks, StaticNomad. Sunny truly is something special. She amazes me every time in our sessions, her easy brilliance whether it's bass or rhythm or lead guitar, folk or blues or psychedelic or rock. And yes her singing is just as awesome although she doesn't think of herself as a singer. The vibrato she uses takes tremendous control so she stands stock still when she sings. I'm grabbing ahold of this moment and we're actually doing 3 albums back to back, APOCALYPSE, HELP and TRIBE. 10 songs each. About half recorded, couple more to write. It's the most joy I've had in years.

I don`t think we should even think about genres when we`re trying to create so you can pick any genre you like and I`ll still think its one hell of a fine piece of musical art CitizenMofo..Rock works fine...You`re right...the lady is one big talent..and she takes us for a great musical ride without much in the way of key changes...that takes talent and isn`t often accomplished in loop land..
her guitar and vocal delivery do the trick nicely...fab job by both of you..really enjoyed the listen.big fav & a standing ovation from this old guitar guy..more please...Ed

Thanks, Ed. Means a lot coming from you. For an old guitar guy, you sure put out some juicy sounds. I just posted another one called "Working On It", which started with one of your loops as the driving rhythm engine that called forth the song. Please check it out. I'll be posting a lot over the coming weeks. Been busy.

It does have that SF sixties Psychedelic edge to it. Tone is amazing on that guitar. Nice work indeed! You are both very talented!

Thank you, crucethus. Yeah, Sunny's tone, talent and skill are pretty amazing to me, forcing me to up my game as a songwriter. She noodles around a bit and then we usually get the keeper on the 2nd take. She goes out for a smoke and me and the engineer just stare at each other, like - "Really? That can be done?" So I feel very lucky these days.

A bit of a long journey, quite tricky to mix and would benefit from some improvements.

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
