wh o is schwa?:
greetings... i am schwa. i write, perform and record all original audio material, varying styles (some not available from this page). my largest audio project is called paradox.27 (formerly auratracemiracle)...i'm the only band member. paradox.27 has a collection of over 30 songs thus far. most of my songs are infused primarily with analogue guitars; layers of them. likewise, alot of the synthesque soundscapes are created by guitars. i also use software and hardware synths, software and hardware based drums, my pathetic excuse for a voice, bass and other instruments (some home-made) as well. most of my songs i start writing on the acoustic guitar with words in mind that i typed up on my blackberry at a bar, looking out a window or while driving. my recording methods are prehistoric and ridiculous; i'm suprised any coherent sound comes out at all. lol.
i hope you enjoy.

The Maestro - Written by Chrome:

Under the shade of an ancient knotty tree, the Maestro sits, idly strumming his guitar. Random musings become melody as inspiration dances unselfconsciously nearby, barefoot in the grass, wrapped in innocence and princess pajamas. The spider spins his elaborate web, unaware of the influence he wields over his observer. Creation less a process than a series of revelations, pieced together into a complex tapestry of beauty and emotion. Thoughts, feelings, stories untold, exposed as he would never express in casual conversation. Friend, father, the stranger passing you on the street with a casual smile. Roles diverse, woven into a labyrinthine existence and saturated in the urgency of creation. Joy, heartbreak, desire, all carry their own distinctive sound. The angry rail on a guitar, the tears shed by a melancholy violin, the sweet melody of piano keys reaching out to touch the heart and soul.

The Maestro doesn't compose so much as he lets the music within him become material. Emerging from within, finding release in voice and hands, strong, yet elegant. Perceptions and vulnerabilities exposed as they evolve over time through events and moments - both life changing and seemingly incidental. Unpretentious exploration of the most secret recesses of a mind, the challenge of digging deeper, being more honest. Creation is confession. Composition taking shape like a rainbow after the storm. The Maestro closes his eyes, sees the music in an array of vivid colors and textures. Amorphous particles come together in simple splendor. For a few minutes a grateful listener glimpses something rare and beautiful and holds onto the memory of those moments until once again they have the pleasure of witnessing one of the world's natural phenomenon.
