Truding the Road to Happy Destiny Feat Nina Cash
Coming Home to Nina First "Music Video"! I downloaded a screen recorder and played the track in my wave editor changing the view from time to time to see how the sound wave moves.
Spoken word over music has been an exciting process for me, and if concious hip hop or Slam poetry is your thing then checkout "mc2r8tz" artist name, "Philosopher Stoned – Recovered"- album name. Here is my favorite Beautiful Protagony
The Hills Have Eyes Tavius Dot Org Mix
After more tweeking than I recall a decent mix having to take after a decade I give you my second DJ mix, "The Hills Have Eyes", a dubstep syle mix inspired by Auguste Coleman who shared Skrillex with me over a year ago, which has become my new favorite electronic muscian. "The Hills Have Eyes" title comes from the energy and content of the tracks selected, especially in light of having moved back to the Sierra Foothills where dubstep parties in the forest are totally huge!
My previous was Amon Tobin, which was my other DJ mix and is titled "Bottled Mixes", which can also be found on this page. Please feel free to share my page, links, downloads with anyone who may be interested! Ha Ha Happy Ho Ho Holidays ; )
"This is the modern version of a rock opera!" -Matt Lewis www.shenstudio.com
This is the first track I made where a musician friend of mine, who I hold the highest esteem, took notice of this song, Dorthy's Dream, and it motivated me to dive into music. He actually remixed it, and I hope to get a copy to publish. His name is Justin Morales. , formerly, Bubblejacket, and now Seabright.
This piece was started from a European Psyche Rock flute sample and clips from the movie The Wizard of OZ. I started playing with glitchy beats and came up with this experimental electronica exploration of the insanity of consciousness while under the influence. The reference to poppies at the end is classic, along with "you have to close your eyes to get better in tune with the infinite", and the reference to not having a brain or knowing what to do with it. Film has replaced religion's role in modern society providing us the stories of otherness that define our culture and world view. This piece really dives into the mind bipolarity, and utilizes themes from the movie fairly well to play off the idea.

My dear friend Doan Tran's DJ setup at our old place together where I made this mix of my all time favorite electronic musician Amon Tobin called Bottled Mixes because I would drink a bottle of Port each night I mixed it, back in 2002!
The image above is the first song lyrics I wrote to music "Oh My God! It's Like That". I did it while listening to the instrumental music on my headphones while riding a bus. This is most peoples' favortie track on my first CD a quad EP "Philosopher Stoned – Recovered" released with my second book of poetry with the same title under Resonant Frquency Records which was my record label from 2005-2009.

This is tech house mix of tracks I made and mixed for continuous play as my original DJ name from 2000 in the San Francisco scene as DJ Tantirc "Hard Kandee" mix of my quad EP release "Philosopher Stoned – Recovered". It was inspired by a picture of my mom from the early seventies! You can find it on iTunes! Tavius aka DJ Tantric Hard Kandee Tech House Mix
My next album, the second, is titled "Spun 4a Loop" which has been my anticipated as first album. It consists of a compilation of experimental electronica tracks from 2003-2011, KSCU 103.3 FM radio recording cuts, spoken word from my third book of poetry, and latestes release "Love Lush". Search www.lulu.com for "tavius" and find all three of my books there.

The following is a track from before recovery around 2003. I was driving around with a stereo mic from my rearview mirror and instrumental beats playing through my car stereo freestyling while driving. I took the inital recording and extracted the noise through Cool Edit Pro's noise reduction filter, burned it to CD, played it in my car and recorded over it a second time! It's crazy.
