Daryl Hayott is Officially endorsed by Hal's Funk Bass. The Luthier of the greats. Standby to be blown away.

The new CD release date is in Aug. I't's devoted to the homeless as usual. Invisible in plain sight. I made it a point to play almost every instrument because I believe they need perpetual inspiration. DH

2010-06-14T17:11:00.001-07:00

The piece, "Arrival" has been posted on the "Ankh of Anubus " Myspace page. The site was just posted a day or two ago, so give it a minute to grow. The link is posted. beijos DH

Ankh of Anubus

2010-06-08T13:20:00.001-07:00

I felt it imperative that I commit some music towards those folks that helped to shape my spiritual compass. Whether painting, Sculpting, GO JU RYU Karate and many other experiences, these teachers and family members were a part of those events. Anubus is the Egyptian god of the cross over in life forms. Totally appropriate for this effort. Keep the light records LLC. will be the label.

2010-06-08T13:14:00.001-07:00

In studio recording for both Tribe Konfuciousklan and Ankh of Anubus. Two releases due shortly.

Collabs

2010-05-13T11:38:00.001-07:00

I'm working on two projects simultaniously. Not unusual by any means. The idea of collabs is tricky. It's chemistry and taste driven. U don't want the commercial feel. So in studio u get the chance to be a kid in the toy chest, or inmate on lockdown.

2010-05-12T17:39:00.001-07:00

Jimmy Hendrix has been on my mind all day. Decades later and he is still beyond comprehension. He made composers get day jobs. DH

2010-05-10T17:45:00.001-07:00

Working on it, or it's working me. Either way music is being made.

2010-04-15T14:02:00.001-07:00

I' m playing classical piano today. It seems I've caught a cold and I don't trust my ears. These sessions can tell on u.

"My addiction for the arts is based on it's inherent unpredictability . What strikes me on the commercial end is that u cannot underestimate the predictability of stupidity". - Daryl Hayott interview

"Don't believe there's bad art or music. It's usually not the work, but the perception of it by the outsider. Even if someone hates it. The fact that it evoked a response means it served it's true purpose". Daryl Hayott

2010-03-23T19:43:00.001-07:00

we're running a rough track of a new piece called"Taj". on our myspace band page. It's one way we get a sense of direction in studio. Helps to avoid working in a vacuum.

2010-03-07T17:22:00.001-08:00

Wondering how many folks could feed their families for the price of any gown worn at the academy awards. We r truly lost.

Poverty and photo ops

2010-03-07T17:19:00.001-08:00

When Haiti endured it's latest tragedy, every person with even remote dreams of immortality via celebrity, clamored to be seen waiving the banner of hope. Singing and re frying old beans. "We r the world pt.2. "Look at me i'm concerned can't u see?" was the mentality of the self orained.

Then Chile. Fewer cries due to the lack of demographic kickback, yet still something. Now the Academy awards. Without breaking stride, these superficial minions clamor to be "seen', on a red carpet to, annoint a movie about blue folks being saved by a handicapped white male. His virtual morp into a foreign culture to raise them from the dredges. Wow, maybe Hollywood is heaven. Filled with transparent spirits making grandiose inroads based on imaginary synergy with the invisible masses. Don't it make u wanna sing? lol

Collabs

2010-03-02T16:35:00.001-08:00

I've been fortunate enough to have a couple of collab projects pumping as well as our own CD. So it's definately spring again.

2010-03-02T16:33:00.001-08:00

In studio doing heavy piano work tonight.

There's a heavy numerical significance behind the numbers as most cultures would surely attest. However, on a personal note, it's the last stage of thought before we act. I guess the point is to think clearly then get off your ass. DH

If you want a certain thing, you must first be a certain person. Once you are that certain person, obtaining that certain thing will no longer be a concern of yours.

“Life is the sacred mystery singing to itself, dancing to its drum, telling tales, improvising, playing”

2009-12-26T16:50:00.001-08:00

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

2009-12-24T09:53:00.001-08:00

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.

I believe to be "spiritual", u must deal with the worst of the worst with compassion. Not only folks who share your beliefs and attend your church. The father chooses from the common soul, not the dressed up sunday folks.

2009-12-21T22:05:00.001-08:00

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

DJEMBE SONG

2009-12-04T17:14:00.001-08:00

The Djembe song is a piece that has me on drums, bass ,piano and a bit of percussion. The piece was my homage to the motherland Africa, as well as Brazil and New york city. Up tempo in hopes of evoking spirits from all over this world. It's time to take our gifts seriously and give back something to the source. May you cats be safe and celebrate another page of life. DH

2009-12-04T17:09:00.001-08:00

DJEMBE RE POSTED. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE LUV. MY ENGINEERS HATE MP3. SO FORGIVE THE DELAY.

2009-12-01T13:17:00.001-08:00

Uplift through the work

2009-11-30T21:40:00.001-08:00

Whatever your gift or work, make it render to something greater than yourself. Avoid the traps of complacency .Push the edge. Shake the doubts. Endure the critics and be yourself never ever part of the herd

Jazz from the reservations

2009-11-26T13:21:00.001-08:00

I felt it was time we took a look at the treatment of the natives who get lost in the fever of the commercialized celebrations of the holiday season. My homage to the spiritual peoples of the world who may as well be invisible due to the lack of respect that's thrown their way. So hit our page listen to the tune but more importantly remember we have a long way to go.

2009-11-26T13:17:00.001-08:00

New piece posted on myspace. Jazz from the reservations. I dedicated to the natives who are so often overlooked. DH

Changing winds

2009-11-21T15:12:00.001-08:00

It's been roughly a year since this country inaugurated a African as president. I emphasize the inauguration due to the reluctance of a sizable part of citizens that refuse to embrace the concept. I've been around for roughly a half century. I've experienced a wealth of things. Truly I am thankful. Having said this, It's still a climate of denial that permeates everything of merit along color (not cultural) lines. The xmas images of the Nordic Jesus and jovial santa has to still be traumatic to youngsters yet untouched by bias and skewed images of what is "good". Musically the artist have contributed so much to the global vocabulary of sound, yet we get saturated with those who want praise for the Beatles in spite of their obvious "sampling" of Blues. Our icons are designated as opposed to chosen. Mediocre talent from bleach blond puppets miming and humping their way through bass heavy synth tunes. Finally we have the "rock star" video games. DAMN. How low can we go? Before some pious pundit responds that it's a learning tool, I ask Learning what? That success is the measuring stick of and artist? or covering weak tunes enhances creativity/ lol. I mentioned Obama to illustrate that the pendulum is starting to swing. The glass houses and fragile superficial cocoons that we built on smoking mirrors have to recede and make way for a new wind. Real Love, Real inspiration for the up and comers. Cotton candy is not considered a meal to the hungry.

resisting that tunnel vision

2009-11-18T16:29:00.001-08:00

I'm involved with two projects, which implies two producers. Well actually I try to give the impression of dealing with producers, however they seem to produce nothing but headaches and theory. How can you describe the Earth if you avoid the mud? The rub being that folks believe their visions so strongly that it becomes blinding and binding. Not a shred of freedom in avoiding flexibility. That tunnel vision sets in then bam! you've just cloned the same old doo doo. I've got to tap into the real producer, the universe. DH

2009-11-18T16:23:00.001-08:00

Being the creative as opposed to doing it, is my goal.

Why Jazz?

2009-11-13T14:21:00.001-08:00

I'm often asked why I play Jazz? Firstly I don't know what Jazz is. It's something that listeners dub the sound, not the cats who actually play the music. Jazz is supposed to do what a true artist wants which is to Improv as often as reasonable. Music has to have structure to a large extent but not a restricted time signature or chord progression all the way through on all tunes. The freedom of the expressive chord is the ultimate gift a music piece can offer. So I just play what I hear from my soul. I've done all the other crap. Even film scores. Music has to be experienced not worshiped from myopic commentators.

versatility

2009-11-13T11:16:00.001-08:00

I'm on two CD projects currently. I mean it actually has me reaching for those basics again. Harmonics, counter beats and arrangements. That's not as revealing as freshness. How not to be redundant . I run from radios and I pods. It has a way of distilling itself into your head. U end up playing some variation of that unwanted sound. Versatility is a sign that growth is present. Without growth u cannot offer a piece anything but robotic effort. So as I sit in studio mode I'm hit with the paradigm shift. I'm clunking like hell. LOL

2009-11-13T11:07:00.001-08:00

In the studio mode like a monk. LAMA Daryl LOL

Work a thon

2009-11-12T14:31:00.001-08:00

I'm on two projects which is rare this time of year. I'm grateful to be involved with some top artist. One thing that stands out is that they have updated Endorsements. Mines don't give me the cool toys these cats have. I'm trying to be diplomatic about this. LOL. So if I don't get the upgrades i'm going ghetto and get my friends to start dong some midnight shopping with a moving truck. Stuff gonna turn up missing. LOL

2009-11-12T14:22:00.001-08:00

I'm on two CD projects outside of the band. So I hope my Endorsements includes free drums LOL.

Searching the canvas

2009-11-09T13:52:00.001-08:00

The landscape of the art world as well as the social strata keeps shifting. It's almost like the axiom of whether the egg or the chicken came first. Life imitates art is a thought, though not a good one. We have seemed to be healing due to new blood in the political realm. Finally the hope that the elected remembers who actually got them in their positions. Much too often politics are reflective of theater not reality. The music scene is also theater in a very base manner. The so called stars are manufactured, not authentic. Self praise is the constant hum. "Look at me" is the banner. So I often find myself searching for that fresh canvas to express what I see and hear. So i've decided to make this one of my crucial to do things in 2010. I'm hoping that others do the same. Without this as a goal life won't just imitate art, it will imitate itself.

Thanks 2 all for the birthday wishes. It's been very busy for me which is a good thing but it's not given me time to visit here as often. I'm blessed to have u guys among friends. I'm 16 for the 20th time today LOL. When the performing is done I like to run marathons with boots on. Outside of the aspirin, bengay, shiatsu, hypnosis, prayer and bathroom runs, i'm in my prime.

my inspiration

2009-10-22T18:54:00.001-07:00

My motivation, is embodied in the two family spirits that are experiencing deep discomfort due to health issues. I can't imagine being here doing what I've been blessed to do without them sticking by me regardless of what I did. I'm hoping to give back until my wheels fall off. I do appreciate fans. I've been given quite a few for such a long time. The difference is that in spite of our gifts, we have to keep in mind, it's on loan. It has to go beyond the artist. If it doesn't, it's meaningless. So look back at your own life and i'm sure someone has stood by you even when you were on shaky legs. If so, let them know they're your inspiration.

2009-10-22T18:46:00.001-07:00

The real seeker of truth never seeks truth.
On the contrary, he tries to clean himself of all that is untrue, inauthentic, insincere, and when his heart is ready, purified, the guest comes.

working on the skins

2009-09-26T14:55:00.001-07:00

I'm back on the drums full time. I've played a lot of Bass, Lead, Piano etc in studio lately. I'm a drummer who happens to do the rest of those things. Performing live on the skins again feels right. However now I have to stretch and warm down more now LOL. Two hour non stop swinging has to be a zen thing for me now. I'm still sharp but stamina keeps me honest. 21 piece drum kit and rolling, i'm hoping to get my drum endoresments back. these sets take the crew a lot of time to send to those venues "Hint".

2009-09-26T14:35:00.001-07:00

Working on the drums for next stop. Using lighter sticks to pop the licks with less kicks.

POETRY: SPOKEN WORDS

"healing dance"
�
We've been engulfed in a dance of hate
to appease self
swam in pools of confusion to
find solace
cultivated in land of vengeance to
be at peace
And dread the harvest of sin.
We have drowned spirit of joy to
create sorrow and solitude of self
In attempt to stay king in world
of selfishness
Stepped on souls of meek and weak
brutalized heads on our way to the top
to be rewarded by nature.
Look up to the moon and sacred mountains
of the sky
Listen to the songs of sacred land
Feel the healing wind of sea
Step into the vibrations of energizing
songs of sun.
Let's dance beyond rhythm of sorrow
Lift our legs and hands in praise
of life.
Dance to the wind of drums for the
rejuvenation of souls.

Do nothing with the body but relax;
shut firm the mouth and remain silent;
empty your mind and think of nothing.
Like a hollow bamboo rest at ease with your body.
Giving not, nor taking, put your mind at rest.

it is in yourself alone.

THE ARTIST MIDST ESSAY POSTED ON MY EBOOKS

2009-09-10T07:25:00.001-07:00

I've completed a short two part essay that somehow became a compulsion. I tried to keep it succinct yet reflective of what I perceive as the decline of true independent art. The corporate mindset and commercialism of creativity, has turned most work into sanitized brands. Collectively artist have to take back the tools of their trade. Or else we will be jaded by offshoots of so called "reality t.v."

Be more and more at ease.
Be more and more here and now.
Be more and more in action, and less and less in activity.
Be more and more hollow, empty, passive.
Be more and more a watcher — indifferent, not expecting anything, not desiring anything.
Be happy with yourself as you are.

Welcomed emptiness

I'm a serious thinker. I meditate as often as possible. Some may think that to be very spiritual, others may feel that I just have an empty mind. Both are right. I'm trying to get to the point where I can be empty at will. Simply because you can't add to a full glass. If you don't add you don't empty up, nothing new gets in. So I strive to be as simple minded as possible. Doesn't lessen my intellectual clarity. Just makes me grateful to transcend the herd.

I'm getting the flow of the music. The sheer creative stamina feels right. Downtime is a must. Too much is a bust because of creative rust. I'm at a point in life where my desire to reach yet another unnkown is intense. I have a console lit by my sleeping area. It's like the lights little kids use to keep them aware of the boogy man. If It is what I see when i'm about to drift of into that alpha sleep, i'm resolved that when I wake I have a new day I have the info I need. It's the natural ebb and flow of anything living. Ying Yang is impossible to escape. Ride the tide in whatever you pursue.

Greece we embrace in creative terms. Personally there's only one motherland. The forgotten land. Afrika the land of Kush. However the greeks appreciate the vibrant sounds of the drum. Headed their way baring gifts. Light
