Alden & M.O.E.

My new bestie is this kid, Mario Mccray a.k.a. M.O.E of Well Known Strangers, who is straight baller. He projects himself as experienced beyond his years and has some righteous flows. After he free-styled on a few tasty jams we set up shop and have been working on a collaborative EP called "Midnight Sessions"

So we put a couple pre-written tunes together to concoct the ambient rap sandwich that is "Roll with the Punches." Shortly after we recorded the second verse, Mario and I coincidentally met a blues singer while strolling and playing in downtown Appleton. Here is the rough track, minus drums.

Consciousness: Experimental or Acoustic. The debate.

Here are a couple tracks:

I got inspiration for consciousness when I was living in an apartment between something like 4 churches. I had heard an example of tuvan-throat singing a few weeks earlier and tried to put the two together. And no, it's not a very romanticized piece, and there isn't a IV - I amen in the piece, i swear. It ended up lying along the line of minimalist repetition and gnarly grit. Here is the original tune, "Consciousness (feat. Andrew Hallberg)" [2009]

On the Album, I'm doing an acoustic rendition and it ended up being a little more along these lines:
