STEWART
by Stewart Alaniz
Music keeps me alive. I love all aspects of it. Creating it relieves my anxiety. It helps me grow as a person, even if no one hears it. Opening up creatively, beyond the reaches of my comfort zone helps balance me. Stay fluid, elastic and full of love.

The Student
The beat was given to me by a friend who gave me a large batch (CD) of "throwaway" beats. Most of them were just quick intro, verse, bridge, chorus, outro, at the most. I would chop them up into a length suitable for lyrics that I wrote and I would just rhyme over the beat, tweaking the length or...

Lucky Night (rap demo)
This song goes out to all the "Leaders". The most recent version of this song was recorded on 8/1/14. One night DJPAIN1 announced he was giving away a free song on Twitter. That's what you are hearing with my lyrics over it. He gets all the credit. I just got to mouth off for a bit.
-
Taxes (rap demo)
I wrote most of this when I was trying to get my taxes done back in 2001, while waiting in the waiting room of an H&R Block on 47th St. in Phoenix, AZ. Today was rough and I had been running through these three or four verses just for fun and decided to just put it down and post it for my little...

Highway Of Pain (Single) [bonus track]
This is a song I did with my friend Tom Linton (Jimmy Eat World) back in 2001 at his house. I wrote all the lyrics and he created the beat. It was a fun little project for a day while we messed around with sounds and getting the timing just right.
-
Transfer Student (instrumental) [extended Deluxe Classic]
This is a track I was inspired to write as an impulse I had to create something optimistic, fun and mid-tempo. Just something you can coast to.
-
12:11:10
I wrote this song on 12/11/10, but it's been on the shelf since then. The photo I put up was from this past Christmas in Las Vegas, NV. There were so many incredible murals.
-
He Sees The Signs All Around (vocal_scratch)
This song is about someone who sees the signs, but doesn't believe in them. We have all been there before. Why don't certain things you want,ever happen? It's because those things you overlooked as not that big of a deal were setting you up for the big reveal. Follow your instinct. I just put…

Just Like I Thought It Would Be (rap demo)
Was going to redo a track, but decided to put up another new demo. Beat by Chris Elsner (@vocainebeatz). upLOADED on 4/20/15 @ 11:34PM PST
-
Disruptin' The Desert (demo flow)
The photo I used for this track was taken at the Arizona Botanical Gardens during the Chihuly Art Exhibit in the Spring of 2009. Can you see the orange glass? Some flow I did about a month ago. Just listened to it and thought I would test it out. Uploaded on 4/15/15 10:07 PM PST
-
Time Travel SW
New track with a simple beat, a melody and space. Written during a time travel experience back to 1985.
-
Intelligent Design (instrumental)
I worked on this one for a bit and put it away. It had a lot of things going on. I listened to it tonight and made changes to bring it down to the beat itself. Simple. Written on August 6, 2014, at 10:18PM PST
-
The Original
Fine-tuned the original version of this that was recorded in GarageBand. I'm in Logic Pro X now. The sounds are much more organic and less forced. Feels bolder, yet grounded. If you haven't heard the original, you're too late. This is the replacement file.
-
New Life Smell (instrumental)
Just a simple beat I wrote, inspired by the gift of being here as part of this amazing experience we call life. I thought I put out a bit of gratitude into the Universe and say "thanks" for always giving me a sign when I need it most. Hope you enjoy this one. The drums are pretty syncopated, so…

Withdrawal (instrumental)
I sometimes name songs based on the layout of the music or the type of mood it puts me in. For this song, there are some highs and lows with various tangents, veering off the path. Unrelated. It reminded me of how I would feel when going through withdrawals. There are many phases. At least for me...

I'm Just Getting Started (rap demo)
Some old rhymes I put together a while back. I just stumbled upon this demo and it sounded shareable. Beat by Flexbeats archive. Lyrics by Stewart Alaniz.
-
When The Flow Is Too Strong (rap demo)
Music and lyrics by Stewart Alaniz. This song is about energy and how it flows in and out of our lives. It's how a better understanding of this would help all of us grow in a more positive light. I was thinking about mainstream radio. Mostly, hip-hop radio and the artists that dominate it's...
-
My Only Intention (remix)
Basically, to create a song that had a lot of solid backing. I like the beat right up there with the piano steadily taking over the empty space. It envelopes but is simple. Bring in the other drummer and the 2nd piano and you have a nice groove happening. Pay attention to the beat. It will keep…

Step 2
it sounds like being reborn into the next life. from analog to digital, this song was inspired by making mistakes. from human to alien, it's inspirational and pure. *listen w/headphones*
-
Uncomfortable (instrumental)
New Mastered Version. Updated on 1/13/15. Just telling a story about past lives. Focus is around rhythm and percussion. I have experiences alone or even sometimes mixing them together. Best if listened to with headphones and no distractions. Sink into this one.
-
Reflection (rap demo)
This one's taking it a little bit deeper. 116 bars about life. My life and where I stand today.
-
Spittin' After Midnight (rap demo)
first time running through the entire song without stopping. beware, there are 165 bars straight, no spaces.
-
The Transition
I think this is my best so far. It's been cool to finally begin putting all the puzzle pieces together and hearing it all through different ears and personal growth experiences. I'm happy just having this time to create and put some stories together with the music I've been working on. *I rap…
