About Me

Thank you for listening...I am currently writing my third Album, hopefully due out by winter 08. I will be teaming up again with ROA records masters Monica Rabino and Tyler Wehmeier. I am also in the process of forming a band to play embellished versions of older songs, along with current writings. So far I have an amazing violin player Rachel Miller and the very talented Mrs.Rabino on piano. Look for upcoming shows here...."Oh, music is the meat of all who love. Music uplifts the soul to realms above. The ashes glow, the latent fires increase. We listen and are fed with joy and peace." Mawlawi Rumi-"I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty." -Pablo Neruda * * * * *And like a dying star is every work of your virtue: its light is always still on its way and it wanders- and when will it no longer be on its way? and thus the light of your virtue is still on its way even when the work has been done. Though it be forgotten and dead, the ray of its light still lives and wanders. that your virtue is your self and not something foreign, a skin, a cloak, that is the truth from the foundation of your souls, you who are virtuous. Friedrich Nietzsche~ * * * 'If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever-more wonders." Andrew Harvey ** * *a review:Jessica Dye's music extends beyond this planet. It is the first music ever to be transmitted into outer space. It would take the mystics a million more years to figure out the melodic wave patterns you need to achieve in order to blast your message far beyond the celestial bodies and into the outer reaches where sonic clarity is an actual place.You only have to listen once to believe. I can remember this. I was driving in my car, listening to Jessica's latest CD entitled, "Sacred Code." I came to a railroad track just as the song, "Dark Rhythms," began to play. The bells started to ring and the gates came down as if there was a train coming, but there was no train. Instead, the sonic textures, swells, acoustic guitars playing succulent chords behind a crystalline voice, made it seem as though there was a space craft with blinking lights desceneding upon me, and i was transported into some strange land where there are no such things as loud, obnoxious trains.Songs like, "Something Beautiful," and "Undone," are instant souveniers that you will want to share with your alien friends. Make sure to sample some of the songs.... and as you do, make sure your schedule is clear. Maybe I'll see ya out there.-joshua

I picked up an old friend at the Orlando airport and then we stayed the night in O-town together. I took her home to Gainesville, but first we drove through Deland on a nostalgia tour. There, after lunch, in a little store on Woodland Blvd., near where I used to play my first songs at a place called Cafe Da Vinci, we walked into a record store. Among the things we bought was Sacred Code by Jessica Dye. On the way home we listened to the new Cure album, Future Bible Heroes, Stereolab, Isidore, and the Lost In Translation soundtrack.We also played Sacred Code. My friend was a little aggravated. She bought this CD by mistake, thinking it was something else. A name and memory mishap. We realized this as the first song played, after we were far up the road, a distance too far to think of going back, way out in the countryside, on a holiday weekend with summer heat building storm cloud mountains and with bikers and fishing boats passing like fire trucks.By the time Dark Rhythms came on we had become silent. All the chatter we enjoyed had stopped. We were enjoying something else, Dye’s music for the first time. Storms can be like magic, and it came down in a trick of buckets like rabbits, cats, and dogs, right out of the big hat upstairs. The music was perfect for this as we had to pull over for a short while. We had little words to say at this point, as feelings spoke without them, but our conversation drifted to times gone, to intimacies lost and found, and of a future in love, with or without. Sacred Code was there for this.I love this music. I love music, but I really love this music. For those who need comparisons, think Shoegazing but all grown up, and with the distortion pedal removed. Think Hex, only years later and moving forward. Think Mazzy Starr but with promise instead of dread. There’s something a little Celtic here too, but warmer and easier to consume without becoming liquid. My friend on this day, who has impeccable taste in music I would say, loved the Code too. Odd how the little mistake of a name mix-up led to a charm in the highway strip and a serendipity unexpected as it is by nature, The Sacred Code

This is the place where we find the ones, that we cannot reach through voice or song or touch. The wires inform us of how we are doing. What is this time and space? I kiss a million smiles in its wake...
