“ESTRANJ” & (Beloved) FAMILY Present:

“EYES BEHIND CREATURES LIVING” 2021

-

A Solo/Collaberative effort / Project made Jan-March of 2021.

Primarily this album was made to shape a special expirience of fun times to be remembered in any way they could be. Alot of love and care went into it.
I made an extra effort to get as much people i could get on this either i knew i could count on or who have shown me comforting welcomes or greetings upon the journey.- for love and regard for the art craft, in & for unity. True family of mine i would rock with any day. There are a few more artists i wish i could have had on this album but everyone who's here made it by the hands of time's portion of sector. A few people i had in mind couldnt or didn't make it.Made in one of the most organic methods of creation, without stress or force, just mere interest and mutual concern/ understandance for the purpose of the action. With Oddity.

I’d like to thank my cousin as well for reminding me of the special sound we continued a while back, and to stay true to it even further, in this time zone. Featuring a few likeminded individuals i hold dear, who share the Same Love & Care for this Artform as i do, and have been recording for a good amount of time. all of which i was blessed to meet and am blessed to know, respectfully, along my journey who actually showed love, positivity, friendship, strength and encouragement to keep doing what we do.

Good People/ Friends & Family who inspire me the most.

Alot of human, animal, plant, elemental, molecular & alien energy went into it.

I take my albums very seriously, and tune into a state of accelerated focus, alongside complete intuition & trust on it being what it was meant to become from the get go, so i wasn’t really stressing on it. It stands true to its essence of Pure Underground/ West Coast Hip Hop/ Expiramental Mindfuck Fusion. With it’s Strict Cassette counterpart Emphasizingly guiding the Layout of it’s entire feel and presentation.

It’s about several concepts ive pondered regarding honestly, more Earthly concepts of Venture/ Feeling/ & Standpoint even.

The sounds ive included vary but they generally outline our favorite ‘Twinkle’ sounds our Earlier Krew innovated from the previous rare Golden Age of Hip Hop. The Baby Twinklez with Diaphrammic Tape Grit. Classic beats, made on my 2 favorite MPC’s (2000xl/MPC500.) Moreso the 2000xl. My Nowly Current Most Signature Unit. As well as Ultimate Piece/Heart of most of my Music.

Samples and Analog Piano’s feature shots of foreign Keys, Fender Rhodes, Strings, Opera Quire/Choir, Basses, Synths, Warps, Hand Claps, Whissling, Harmonica, Turntables, Hands, Mouth, Ect.

Mostly a classic mellow jazzy feel which mostly covers the piano/drum/cassette theme that kind of started it all. & then some over the top expiraments to keep it new and interesting to even the most seasoned critical cultists.

Warm and Hearty with lots of Soul.
Truth & Adventure Sight.

Wackiness & Vivid Sub-Imaginary/Realistified Emotional Personnal Poetry.

Coupled with some Song Snips from respected artists, old school movie rips, bong hits & Steve skits.



With a few Bonus Tracks i added to give it more Core as well as Selectional Freedom & Meshing.

Produced entirely by: Estranj

(((with the only exception of ‘Magnified Energy’ whereas Smoky Mirror & Estranj alike, were both responsible for the Dialogue Sample Arrangements
(& as well as)
Bonus Track, “INFINATE CREATION”, Which was Produced by: Fishtank back in 2014ish which i chopped & laid the drums on sometime late 2020 when it was re-brought around as a piece of Fishtank’s history from his very first tape. (unreleased) It was orinally supposed to end up on the “Dreamy Warlordz piece, but we ended up going a different route and i ended up finding this rough draft left on the table, which i then smoothened out my lyrical scraggle, feom the time/ night the verse was laid.)))

Scratches by: Estranj

I hope of all things this album can be appreciated by those i appreciate back which was kind of the purpose of it, besides being a big release or whatever. My first Solo Release of 2021, which i made after a long 1 month break from recording, which spiralled into “4-Track Dreamz” with my cousin, and then fell into this during/ to about a month after.

Please Spread the Music and Allow the Art to Pass and Move. I trust in the Medicinal Quality of my Substance in wishes it may reach those in need, unknowingly, OR even may help someone else create Art for the World when i am no longer.

All i fight and have been fighting for was in order to Protect the Dreamer in his Dreams, so that they won’t ever die. So that achieving control of one's own life and mind together can be proven worthy. and very grattifying. heart and soul. death defying. I believe there is more to this world than we allow, ourselves to Enjoy. And are all individually worthy of seeing through and appreciating every last bit of it until the curtains close...

I want to Thank Especially Everyone in my family as well as extended Fam, all whom i love and bless for without them it wouldn’t have worked as it did.

If you're here you're Family to me.

-

Much Love as Always. & to all who are Reading this, Take Care and Know that i will always be right here if im needed.

Peace and Light,
