This is a journey in motion, time and space - Unbounded by reality. Track 1: Winter Nights Journey: Gazing at a night sky awash in colors of greens, purples and reds. A loved one close by to share it with and to keep warm next to. This is a Winter Nights Journey to remember and cherish forever. Track 2: Journey to Future Planets As we Journey amongst the stars upon our ships and our technology, what new worlds await us? The Future is out there... lets go explore it together! Track 3: Neon Dreams Vibrant Neon colors pulsing and vibrating and dancing with power and grandeur, yet somehow still immaterial and temporal. Like Dreams, heavy with intent but slowly fades as reality begins to assert itself again. Track 4: Solar Winds Winds of light, ebbing and flowing in tides and waves, each eventually cresting upon new undiscovered celestial bodies, imprinting its energy and power onto them for all eternity. Solar Winds... like water upon rock. Track 5: Essence Infusion A moment of perfect clarity, distilled and refined to its very Essence. Somehow Infused into your being and consciousness as if time stops and all that's left is... Track 6: Mystic Lights The unexplainable feeling of energy and magic pulsing and moving all around you. Mysterious and otherworldly. Like Mystical Lights showing you worlds you never dreamed of before. Track 7: Zen Energy That feeling you get when all is right in the world - that sudden burst of energy that only comes with being in a perfect moment of Zen.

Interconnected is an album dedicated to the idea that everyone and everything is connected in both big and tiny ways, and that every action we take can have ripples far beyond what we envision. Interconnected Interconnected is an album dedicated to the idea that everyone and everything is connected in both big and tiny ways, and that every action we take can have ripples far beyond what we envision. An idea that we must purposefully put out into the world that which you wish to receive. This favorite quote of mine explains it perfectly: "We all are so deeply interconnected; we have no option but to love all. Be kind and do good for any one and that will be reflected. The ripples of the kind heart are the highest blessings of the Universe." - Amit Ray Reviews "The album oozes synth wave and different styles - reminds me of traveling back to the 80's which in my opinion was the best music era. The mixture of effects throughout the whole album takes me to outer space." DJ Infected Sun Explore more of my music: About Ben Blackett

The music and ideas within Phoenix were inspired by the world changing events of 2020 and how everything we had relied upon to sustain us were thrown into chaos and unknown as we came to terms with our new realities. Phoenix The music and ideas within Phoenix were inspired by the world changing events of 2020 and how everything we had relied upon to sustain us were thrown into chaos and unknown as we came to terms with our new realities. Each song in this short album represents a specific emotional influence 2020 has had on us and how it has affected our collective lives. Times Arrow signifies the passage of time in a world that seems to blend days together into one endlessly long blur. Where you find yourself asking multiple times a day... what day is it again? It's both a mixture of comfort, nervousness, anxiety, and drive to just do something. I wrote this song thinking about the myriad of tasks our daily lives are filled with and I wanted a soundtrack that would fit neatly into all of them - from doing the dishes, to reading, to watching the news, to working - and through all of it, a keenly felt understanding of the passage of time. Appropriately for this song, I was able to use a clip of my wife's singing that we had recorded over decade earlier. Passing Clouds represented the wistful pleasures of a now seemly forgotten pastime... enjoying the company of friends on a sunny day watching the clouds pass by overhead while day dreaming what shapes you can make from them. My wife's beautiful voice can again be heard in this song. I can think of no better way to express this mixture of emotions I want to convey than through her amazing singing. Our struggle to make sense of this new reality we find ourselves in is a very real one. Each new day brings a new challenge and a new demand. We must take everything on despite the overwhelming odds, while not having the faintest idea how to do it. The Summit represents this struggle. Each day is a mountain we must climb, seemingly all by ourselves, and success is not guaranteed. The deep bass, the soulful and powerful guitar and the soft wistful piano portrays the complex emotional state we find ourselves in. Loss is something 2020 handed us all by the truckload and then some. Angel Tears is an expression of the deep emotional toll the events of 2020 have taken on us - especially the most vulnerable of us! At some point, loss overwhelms our reasoning and simply takes over. We must acknowledge it, process it, and deal with its repercussions. I wanted the percussion used in this song to sound like the steps of a thousand feet stomping the ground in unison, signifying our collective pain and the universal strength of our convictions. The first song I wrote was Phoenix Rising and like many musicians during this time, I felt the need to make sense of the world around us through my art. For me, this materialized as the mythical creature known as the Phoenix, rising from the ashes of its former self, born from the death of its past, and taking shape as something magnificent and new. A vision of hope stirring within the ashes of our daily routines. --- Interesting fun fact: The cover art for this was made from a custom blend of 10 different copyright free images, generating a unique new masterpiece from their elements. A perfect metaphor for what the Phoenix represents. Phoenix Cover Art Phoenix Cover Art Phoenix Cover Art Phoenix Cover Art 1/1 A Poem by Shirley Maya Tan On days we feel like scorched earth, Like corroded rust or trampled dirt, All we have to do is turn our faces, Toward the gentle breeze, And be sprinkled into the four directions, Be swept away by the wind’s tender breath. We are made holy Through this burning, Like a phoenix rising from its ashes To become more powerful Than it ever thought possible. The scorching does not destroy us, Rather, it burns through the chaff Until our greatness is revealed And what’s of real value remains. This is our defining hour, The moment we are made whole By what has made through the burning. So, let us be marked, Not by sorrow or pain, Not for false humility, Or, for thinking we are less than we are. Let us claim our brilliance within the debris, Let us dance on the ashes of our previous lesser selves, Let the stars be engraved into our bones, And our divine fearless nebula return home. Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust, From the rust, OUR MASTERPIECE SHALL RISE. Explore more of my music: About Ben Blackett

"Portals" is about the journeys we take within that end up defining who we are and who we want to be in this universe. Each song explores a particular aspect of love and loss and the natural yin/yang dynamic within. Portals "Portals" is about the journeys we take within that end up defining who we are and who we want to be in this universe. Each song explores a particular aspect of love and loss and the natural yin/yang dynamic within. The opening track Colors of the Rain sets the tone for the album with the use of water, piano, and choir elements, and these appear throughout every song. I purposefully used much less drum and beat driven structures in favor of more subtle and organic progressions within the songs - shifting and highlighting the underlying patterns as a way to tell a story instead. My goal was to create a sonic experience full of magic and love that inspired the listener with each new song - keeping the whole album upbeat and engaging while still exploring some heavy emotional subjects such as loss, loneliness, perceptions, and inner turmoil. I worked closely with Heart Dance Records on this album and got to know some amazing people there in the process. While I designed the main albums cover art, the artwork for the singles (shown above) were designed by Eleon, and the final album was mastered by Cass Anawaty. We released the two Singles over a months time and released the full album in late May 2020. Much of the choir sounds in this album are from Eric Whatacre's Choir and the piano is from the wonderfully expressive Noire . I was also incredibly fortunate and grateful to have my amazing wife provide vocals on the song Deep Currents.
