Dark poetry, intelligent rap, and multi-layered SFX are entwined with surreal neopsychedelic guitars and ethereal waves that weave a prophetic tapestry of addiction, despair, and a fleeting hope of recovery from the grip of an epidemic that consumes the lives around us and haunts our soul – if we dare not turn away.

Ethereal and surreal, a haunting dreamscape of evanescent textures, mystical Native American poetry, flutes, drums and neo-psychedelic guitar riffs that echo through the canyons of the mind like lost voices from another world -- Salanoki, wiikano. Inspired by Clark's Amazon Top Selling western horror novel “Dead Balance”, the music and lyrics of "Half a Man" continues a spiritual journey that began with “Logan’s Lament”, Clouzine International Music Awards Winners "In My Dream" and "River of Lost Souls" into the surreal shadow world where Grammys® Recording Academy Artist Gary Wayne Clark (a.k.a. Earamas®; Rise of the Chimera, Passage to Niburu) weaves his musical mystery. Channeling the spirit of the Ancient Ones, Logan Lone Bear Tuu'awata is a troubled Arapaho boy whose spirit is trapped between two worlds as he calls out to his soul mate, Raven Thunder Sky. With a host of ethereal voices speaking a shamanic spectral dream language of Arapaho and English, “Half A Man” delivers a heartfelt message across the divide for those who desperately cling to love... beyond the boundaries of this world.

An ambient mix of natural sounds interwoven with peaceful orchestral melodies that guide the listener to slow down and visualize their own inner peace. Composed and arranged for relaxation, meditation and anxiety management, music soundscapes should present simple, soothing, repetitive patterns that are easy to recognize and lock into with your brain. All of the natural sounds were recorded by me high in the mountains of Colorado - a stream in Rocky Mountain National Park, a mid-summer thunderstorm and the distant songbirds of the alpine meadows interwoven to guide the listener to imagine the divine "unstruck" sounds that arise from within the heart. This track is about learning how to slow down from the hectic pace that most of us live, and visualize the path we choose for ourselves. Starting with a tempo of 92 bpm, the track gradually slows down to 82 bpm by the end of the song, intended to pull the listener's heartbeat lower, by subconsciously following the music tempo, calming stress levels, and fostering a more therapeutic mind body sensation. The orchestral effects are all composed on a ROLI Seaboard Rise, allowing 5 audio controls for strike, glide, slide, press and lift - including pitch bends. And if you listen carefully on headphones, you will hear a faint embedded Binaural Beats pairing of tracks - at the beginning and end [even though they continue for the entire song]. They are tuned to Left channel of 82 hz and Right channel of 92 hz, with a Beat Frequency of 7.83 Hz. Ironically, the brain will interpret this pairing as one tone of 87 hz. I'm interested if this track is positive, negative or of no impact of you for meditation and calming -- your input matters a great deal to me, so let me know your comments. So sit back, don your best headphones and let this track wash over you as you allow your personal space for the mind and body create your own reality of calm. May the Peace be with you my friends..

Cover Design Art and cover design by Gary Wayne Clark; some images licensed from Shutterstock. Song Inspiration “Worlds Without End” is driven by a very personal story to me. Several months ago, someone close to me was injured in a tragic accident, resulting in a fractured jaw, broken shoulder and a concussion. With excellent clinical treatment, she is in full recovery. However, our time in the hospital was an epiphany for me - experiencing the the disorienting sensory world of the trauma ward, and the anxiety that a Patient a Patient must endure. Suddenly I realized how the use of technology could improve the experience, for the Patient, the Caregivers and the Hospital Staff. Stay tuned @ http://garywayneclark.com

River of Lost Souls © 2017 Gary Wayne Clark, All Rights Reserved. Winner Clouzine International Music Awards 2017 Best Fusion Song Ethereal and surreal, River of Lost Souls is a haunting paramour’s dreamscape of evanescent textures, awakening the sentries of the heart with mystical Native American poetry interwoven among flutes, drums and neo-psychedelic guitar riffs that echo through the canyons of the mind like lost voices from another world -- Heetíh-néé'eesoo-'. Background Inspired by Clark's Amazon Top Selling western horror mystery novel “Dead Balance”, the music and lyrics of "River of Lost Souls" continues a spiritual journey that began with “Logan’s Lament” and “In My Dream” into a surreal shadow world where Grammys® Recording Academy Artist Gary Wayne Clark (Earamas®; Rise of the Chimera & Passage to Niburu) weaves his musical vision quest. The Ancient Ones believe that based on our deeds in this world, some spirits are imprisoned in a purgatory like existence between worlds, side by side, within multiple dimensions. When loved ones seeking atonement are taken too soon from this world and forced to cross over, part of their penitence leaves them trapped between worlds, desperately clinging to soul mates left behind. As their song of lover’s lament attempts to hold back the wheel of time, their eternal bond lingers in the ether of fleeting desperation. For now, they are but Wind Talkers, grasping for each other in the mist of dreams and those ephemeral moments between the shadow and the light, between the iridescent hues of twilight and dawn. Native American proverbs teach us, “Day and night can’t live together,” and “There can be no rainbow without our tears.” True, but I choose to believe that for some of us, “Dreams are the truth, until we awaken.” And as Henry David Thoreau opined, “Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.” I’m with HDT on this one..

Lyrics Your love has cast a spell on me It took every thing I had I can’t hide from my darker side Good intentions turn to bad They said our love was terminal But I whisper it’s untrue This love of ours is written in the stars Death can’t keep my heart from you In dreams we’ll live forever Where broken hearts are whole Restitution wash away my sins In a river of lost souls Yesterday I swore my love was true Now my words just echo back Holding on to our days bygone As the memories fade to black I hear a thousand voices Only one to me is true The love I send lingers in the wind Eternally for you In dreams we’ll live forever Where broken hearts are whole Restitution wash away my sins In a river of lost souls [Arapaho Prayer] Beehiiniisonoonibéíhin [Father of all] Cih'oonohooyobéi'ee [Watch over us!] Kookóu'unei(hii) [Please] Heetíh-néé'eesoo-' [We ask that it be so] Nohuusóho' [Amen] My heart is calling out to you My heart beats to your distant drum My heart forever is for you Eternity has just begun My heart is calling out to you My heart beats to your distant drum My heart forever is for you Eternity has just begun..

A new Grammys® entered single by Gary Wayne Clark (a.k.a. Earamas®) - Dark and powerful, unearthly and haunting, an eerie supernatural dreamscape wrapped inside a musical vision quest of progressive rock interwoven with the tribal rhythms of Native American drums, flutes and voices.

Song Inspiration For all those who are suffering in their own silent insanity, who hear voices from the dark, and are contemplating a permanent solution to a temporary problem, do not despair. Listen to me, I am telling you a story. You are strong; you and I are strong. If you reach out you will find that other kindred souls are out there, waiting to hear your voice. “Hoo3itoo. Koo-he-etn-oo3itoon-e3?” A story. Should I tell you a story? “Beneeni-noo neyoooxet cowo’oot.” I am a whirlwind passing by. “Hehheisonoonin neniitoneino', noh hebesiibeih'in,” Let them hear us, our fathers and our grandfathers, “Heetihcihkoutee' hoowu3oow hiine'etiit.” So that the breath of life will endure for all time. ~Arapaho Proverb
