Godspeed EP by seanco
I almost died of heatstroke in the Cascade Mountains. Caught a splash of horse pee right in the eyes. I accidentally melted a barbecue one night. I’ve danced in the light of the sun and bathed in the Glory of Mother Nature’s systems. I’ve flown down the Canyons of Idaho with Eagles. Roamed with the buffalo in Wyoming. I outran all those gravel road farm dogs. Broke bread with the locals. Saw the stars like I ain't never seen ‘em before. The freckles melted right off my face, you know.
I spread his ashes in countless rivers across the vast American lands. Conquered the peaks of mountains and the winds of the prairie. I have camped in many places where you definitely aren’t supposed to sleep. I survived the New Jersey Turnpike, but my rear bicycle wheel did not. Strangers around every turn have helped me while asking for nothing. I’ve been showered in unbridled kindness. Ignited the will to push forward when I felt like it might actually kill me. I’ve stepped into the fire, been consumed by it, and have emerged on the other side radiating immense gratitude.
A wealth of new experience has alchemized within me and is expanding out into the world from my fingertips. But some feelings can not be translated into words. When those feelings arise, music becomes the conduit.
The Godspeed EP is a collection of new music that encapsulates many feelings, and many state changes along its path forward. It is a reminder that as we traverse the temporary lifespan of embodiment, the road turns left and right, it moves up and down, and sometimes it gets steep. It calls the listener to believe that all roads lead back to the same place when you ride far enough and to keep going through the mounting adversity you will surely face along the way. It calls us to do the individual work needed to consciously evolve as we move closer and closer to the singularity.
This music was made in Logic Pro and Ableton Live 9 with a midi controller and a pair of 3” monitors loaned to me by my brother Bob. Thanks Bob, you’re the man and without your generosity, I wouldn’t have made this music.
Always remember that "the only way out is through". May these sounds find you well, my friend, and may the Sun shine upon your face.
