Cognitive Dissonance (feat. Randy McStine) Artist: Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius Composer: Joe Deninzon (BMI work # 42874945) Year: 2021 Genre: Rock BPM 150 Mood/musical elements: Hard rock, male vocal. Social commentary. Distorted guitars, electric violin. mid tempo. Retro-90’s grunge sound like Stone Temple Pilots Joe says: "'Cognitive Dissonance' is a song about divisions, both religious, political, and cultural. The first verse is a story of two childhood friends who are not allowed to play together because of centuries of religions dogma that they were taught. "The second is a social commentary on the ideological divide that exists in our society because of our social and news media bubbles. The song ends with the guitar and electric violin screaming at each other like the characters the lyrics describe, fading out but never coming to a resolution...." COGNITIVE DISSONANCE I had a childhood friend Sworn together til the end Playing tag and wrestling Talking about the birds and bees He asks if I believe in God And then I tell him what’s my story He says I’m gonna burn in hell Because that’s what his parents told him Hatred is taught truth just can’t be bought All of our lives We think that we’re so wise But It cuts you down size When it’s staring in your eyes We’re born with open hearts And a blank slate on our souls Old grudges we are forced to bear poison the water & put-up the walls Safely behind our screens Spewing trolling scapegoating No one can touch us now Lets start a fire and burn this whole place to the ground Hatred is taught Truth just can’t be bought All of the lies We tell to feel so wise But It cuts you down size When it’s staring in your eyes C 2020 by Joe Deninzon (Fiddlefunk Music, BMI)

Cognitive Dissonance is a song about divisions, both religious, political, and cultural. The first verse is a story of two childhood friends who are not allowed to play together because of centuries of religions dogma that they were taught. The second is a social commentary on the ideological divide that exists in our society because of our social and news media bubbles. The song ends with the guitar and electric violin screaming at each other like the characters the lyrics describe, fading out but never coming to a resolution....

Storm Surge is about the anxiety we all feel in these uncertain times. With the global pandemic, racism and the continuing struggles for social justice, climate change, political upheaval, economic turmoil, and a future of uncertainty, there is a storm that’s raging inside of us right now. This song was a collaboration with legendary singer Michael Sadler from Saga, blind multi-instrumentalist prodigy Rachel Flowers, guitarist Fernando Perdomo, and cellist Ruti Celli. Music and Lyrics by Friederich Burgmüller, Joe Deninzon, Michael Sadler, Jason Gianni Engineered by Rave Tesar Mixed and mastered by Rich Mouser Produced and edited by Joe Deninzon Additional editing by David P.

Released by Melodic Revolution Records Storm Surge By Joe Deninzon, Friederich Burgmüller, Michael Sadler, and Jason Gianni Tangled emotions waves pound the oceans wild winds fill my slumber darkness pulls me under Caught in a storm surge shackled and submerged  restless dreams they haunt me drowning in this mad sea The storm raging inside me I reach for you but I can’t breath mouth wide open I can’t scream my life flashing by me The storm raging inside me tidal waves that surround me every night it’s the same dream drowning in this mad sea

A few years ago, I was speaking with friend of mine who is a very successful musician and writer. She confessed to me that she often feels like an impostor, like sooner or later, everyone will figure out that she’s actually a fraud. I realized that I had felt this way many times in my life. After some research, I learned that this is called “impostor syndrome” and is common among many people around the world. The first verse of the song is about someone who is successful but think they’re full of shit, then there’s a verse about someone who is successful and is actually full of shit. Then there are those who really ARE impostors but think that they know everything and deserve to be where they are. Hence the line “Everybody has an impostor syndrome except the fools who run the world.” It’s the idea that those who should have more confidence lack it and those who are the true impostors have way too much confidence! This song marks the recording debut of the new lineup of Stratospheerius. Credits: Produced by Joe Deninzon Written by Joe Deninzon Engineered by Rave Tesar at Studio X. Warwick, NY.

“Dream Diary: Concerto for Seven String Electric Violin and Orchestra,” was premiered in 2015 by the Muncie Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Douglas Droste, with Joe Deninzon as the soloist. The work was Inspired by (composer) Joe Deninzon roots in classical music and falling in love with ‘80s/‘90s guitar virtuosos such as Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt. “Dreams were a recurring theme in their music. Joe Satriani had a popular instrumental rock album titled ‘Flying in a Blue Dream.’” Joe was further inspired by Steve Vai’s “Passion and Warfare” and the guitarist’s mention that he kept a dream diary, “writing down his dreams while they were still vivid when he woke up. He allowed those dreams to influence his compositions.” The piece loosely follows the cycles of sleep, including the sensation of “Falling and Flying” in the early stages of sleep (1st Movement), “Delta Waves”, the first stage of deep sleep (2nd Movement), “Rapid Eye Movement” and dreaming (3rd Movement), and “Waking Dream” (4th Movement) Joe plays a seven-string “Viper” electric violin, which has a range that goes a whole step below the cello, and incorporates effects such as distortion, delay, whammies, wah-wah, and loops to conjure surreal, dream-like soundscapes. The piece is also available for 5-string violin and string orchestra.
