just like that, what's old is new it's what happens when there's little left to do you re-imagine, rearrange, put your mind to things and see a new project through what's old is new forgotten tales are true beyond the notes a past in review review the past, one note at a time they're from my fingers, but are they still mine? nostalgia creeps in, it's affecting by design it's ok to revisit, when your passions on decline it still has a touch of what made it mine a touch of what made it fine evolving now into a new meaning revisiting a passion feeding it's familiar but it's not the same forged tough through fire and flame i'm technically still me i think but technically not even the same in name what's old is new forgotten tales are true beyond the notes a past in review review the past, one note at a time they're from my fingers, but are they still mine? nostalgia creeps in, it's affecting by design it's ok to revisit, when your passions on decline it still has a touch of what made it mine a touch of what made it fine evolving now into a new meaning revisiting a passion feeding

ignorant to processes obsessing over prophecies once the searing riffs to tell an epic story about a cosmic being and his enemies so let's go, let's go rock to the rhythm to the flow so let's go, let's go accepting all the thing's you realize that you don't know now it's a testament to the times of grandiosity explosive beats blasting at exhilarating velocity i can still hear the old story in the notes But now I feel the new stories to be told from my throat there's always tomorrow, but there's right now as well and both have epic stories that they wait patiently to tell and yesterday has it's place, great stories told also but that's before and this is now, adventures left on which to go so let's go, let's go rock to the rhythm to the flow so let's go, let's go accepting all the thing's you realize that you don't know now it's a testament to the times of grandiosity explosive beats blasting at exhilarating velocity i can still hear the old story in the notes But now I feel the new stories to be told from my throat there's always tomorrow, but there's right now as well and both have epic stories that they wait patiently to tell and yesterday has it's place, great stories told also but that's before and this is now, adventures left on which to go so let's go, let's go rock to the rhythm to the flow so let's go, let's go accepting all the thing's you realize that you don't know

i didn't know it at the time, but the groove it never changes even if you change your mind it still comes back in phases you realize the groove was always there, waiting to be roused the music of the universe was always waiting to be found it's still about the rhythm, the rhythm of the beat I'm well aware that I'm a record on repeat but it's still about the rhythm, the rhythm of the beat and being kind and loving towards everyone you meet resentments, oh resentments they were killing me. but now I slowly learn to love and I'm slowly becoming free. that was always difficult for my undeveloped mind how to meet someone I couldn't stand, and still be somehow kind but it's how you groove, expand, evolve you see it's how you bridge the gap between you, me, i, and we. it's still about the rhythm, the rhythm of the beat I'm well aware that I'm a record on repeat but it's still about the rhythm, the rhythm of the beat and being kind and loving towards everyone you meet resentments, oh resentments they were killing me. but now I slowly learn to love and I'm slowly becoming free.

broken hearts, thoughts connected, countless millions all rejected, the status quo someday comes crashing down. and the ghosts who haunt the shadows will peek out with bloodshot eyes, whispering in tongues a quiet resolution. and those who lurk beneath the surface will climb up and walk these streets, common ideas racing through their minds. they will know its time for change when their malnourished broken frames can no longer support the legs they're standing on. and we will see a new philosophy, a new religion, enlightenment, a brand new vision. the old words, from the old world, carried over to today a 20 year old poem made it's way to modern display it still means so much to me to think about hard to believe I got by so many years without but was I even getting by, getting by I'm just grateful that I never let it die

Evitagenmai 04:00
evitagenmai, it's a word I use from time to time it's not as common anymore but it's still from in my mind it has a meaning but it's still loosely defined and I don't identify so much now that things have been refined I am not the evitagenmai, anymore I have enough new identities to explore I'm not as negative as I used to be before washed up from the sea of dreams to solid sands and shores the sea of dreams, oh the sea of dreams, what meaning it once had a mythology realized like I imagine few others have the evitagenmai, the reverofmai as well endless tales and stories I aspired to tell I am not the evitagenmai, anymore I have enough new identities to explore I'm not as negative as I used to be before washed up from the sea of dreams to solid sands and shores repeat after me: i am not negative i will not succumb to tired narratives I identify now with a new imperative what's old is new, forged in flames I am not the evitagenmai, anymore I have enough new identities to explore I'm not as negative as I used to be before washed up from the sea of dreams to solid sands and shores

about

In 2012, I quit drinking and started working 60 hour weeks. Using some of the money I saved at that time, I built up a small, modest music studio. I worked hard at music, surely, but nothing ever came together. My creation process and creations themselves were a reflection of my greater lifestyle: stilted, strange, broken, unusual. I never did end up publishing anything I worked on for many years.

But I recently started thinking about all that old unfinished work, sitting on a hard drive somewhere. So I dug it out. And I was surprised to find that although the songs themselves were bad and broken, the guts of them were fantastic.

So I ripped out the guts and stuffed them in somewhere else. And voila, I managed to finally finish five of these ten year old tracks. I present to you, "Forged." The premise: "what's old is new, forged in fire."

It's a bit of nostalgia, retrospection, and hard hitting industrial rock. Enjoy.

about

Bridges Between Farmington, Maine

The universe is music, and right now is the beat of the song.

Bridges Between is about the truth beyond words, which can be found between breaths in the silence of the rhythm of the beat of the moment.

Rock to the rhythm of the beat.
