Spread The Vibes Challenge - Let Us Awake Them

My views towards Ibiza

In one of those moments when the thoughts weren't busy with 5 different things at the same time, and the stimulus of neurons was as flat as playing one of the three Gymnopedies by Erik Satie, this user whose post you are reading now used the option search. One particular word was on her mind, actually the combination of three words that makes one tag. Spread the vibes. Simple question: What happened? Without adding some spicy words to make the question sentence more interesting and then changing them to a more censured way... just: What happened? 16 days passed from the last created post that contained that tag... And not really the real concept and purpose used there, but let us say it was something connected to the words. Did the vibes die?

In no time you will realize that this whole first paragraph was just for writing purpose and that I am still having some of them, to spread. The vibes can never die... but, with the rights to change the name of this challenge, I would rename it to Awake the Vibes! So let us go into a semi-new journey, to awake to vibes.

So, this Sunday afternoon, I am feeding my musical soul with something you would NEVER guess. A classical pianist listening to... Drum & Bass ?? Correct! There are piano parts also in that music, where Hive account@nickyhavey in using a midi keyboard to add it to his mix. So, I am responding to the post of Nicky, and his mix called To Better Days.

His post can be checked here if you missed the link in my previous sentence. You will read a cool post and listen so his amazing music: @nickyhavey/spreadthevibes-drumbassversion-6e28yiblsmqdxwgr6ro5

Ok, I have to admit, that it is awesome, yes. If I would have to choose in this particular moment between some classical music and his mix To Better Days, I would choose this second one.

That music literally waves in my ears and my head. It inspires optimism, man, you totally hit the mark with this mix, I feel so much better. Light. Bright. Aside from the fact that I was with a migraine attack for days and that affected my overall activities. And mood. I was so depressed with the pain that it didn’t go away even with all the pills I took. Clearly, I am a lot better today so I made my part of music too. I would not know how to analyse better the kind of music you create, I don't know the expressions you use for the structure, and layers used, and the process either. The fact is I listened those 30 minutes of your track and I definitely went to better moments. That is the purpose of music, to hit us in the way how we feel, to move us. Not let us indifferent.

Nicky, thank you for your music and hope you don't mind I joined your post without being invited there. I just have to awake again this challenge not challenge, and your To Better Days is just PERFECT!!

The music I will share with you today is a minimalistic composition, Experience. The composer is Ludovico Einaudi, aka Eine Audi how edje would call him :D Although neither of us possesses one of that made car, I even can not say what I drive, I think half of the readers would close immediately my post knowing what I call a car that gives me lift from point A to point B. So, Ludovico Einaudi, a composer who made himself famous through his minimalistic style. Repetitive patterns, whole sections with a different variation, usually used just four chords as the harmonic base for the whole compositions... but he achieves that we like to play his music. It is somehow hypnotizing... But I will not go more into describing it, I will leave it to those I will invite to participate.

I would like to invite to continue to spread the awaken vibes:

Hive account@edje: There is some minimalistic underground techno music I would like to hear. And as I said earlier, I would really like to know more about that, not just because we will be one day almost neighbours if that finka dream comes true, so to have a topic to talk about and not me being without knowledge, but as well we always learn something new. There is still so many things I have to discover, and no time to lose. I hope miss Time will let you do your post, one day :)

Hive account@qwerrie: I am sorry the last time I haven't invite you in my post, just in the comments when you said you would like to take part. I didn't know you are into music, I know you like the guy who knows a lot about mushrooms, and creative googly-eyes character maker. The photography is not strange to you either, and a few days ago I saw the photo of your baby girl playing the piano of her grandpa... So maybe you have something musical to share with us? It would be a pleasure to read from you :)

Hive account@holisticmom: the world is so small, we met here a few weeks ago, and it was a connection from the first word. And we lived so close one to another, oh, wow, I am playing in my mind, what if we met in real life and we don't know it now. Anyway, I hope after these lockdowns you will be back in Spain to visit old friends and maybe you will include some new ones also to meet? Also, your musical talent is huge, you know how do I react to your interpretations. So girl, I would be happy to see you around in spread the vibes challenge not challenge.

If someone reads for the first time this kind of a post, there are some guidelines, instead of rules.

In the initial post by Hive account@edje, we can read them, but here I will say them in my way:

The post you create has to include your reaction to the music that was shared with you. Your personal opinion is important. Then you share your music or give your music selection and related story and you invite some other HIVE members. Also, include the link to the post you react to.

There are two tags you should use: #spreadthevibes and #music

And most importantly, have a lot of fun creating it :)

Again my views towards Ibiza, when the Sun awakes... let us awake the vibes too
