The Brief Updates – 2021

Greetings people, Hope everyone has been progressing well during these recent times?

It’s been a while now since I published on these platforms, But now I figure it’s the right time to start keeping you all informed here on the latest news.

First I thank everyone who’s been there backing me up & supporting all the projects I have relentlessly continued to build on in the past few months, The journey toward total independence is a testing one, But I see hardships all as part of the process toward success.

As you all know this pandemic had halted live shows, However things now are changing for the better & will be ready to announce some local shows soon, Me & the band are certainly looking forward to make a comeback, & continuing from where we left off.

There’s also a studio album that has been in the works of which I really am looking forward to release, dates will be announced soon on www.vonjlive.com,

With regards to ‘Cave Music Studios’ in Bath, I keep looking forward to see new musicians come through each week to rehearse & record here, You can have a look at what we do on www.cavemusicstudios.co.uk, & if interested in practising or recording feel free to send your enquiries to cavemusicstudiosbath@gmail.com

Will expound upon each of the projects I am involved in on a separate post, In the meantime I wish you all a productive & blessed week.

Peace & love.

I’m coming Back: from a dream to reality!

Peace Family.

I Hope y’all had a good weekend.
On this message we are continuing the short stories behind the music on the RuAch album, We Began these stories with the song River Nun, then “Out of the Mire”, This time lets talk abit about the featured track titled “I’m coming back”. I always say when one receives inspiration one has to be quick to act upon it to capture the idea before it disappears, Well this track has to be one of the best example’s of this.

Before adding this song I thought the album was complete, We recorded 24 tracks for the album of which I whittled down to 12 to make the album, & I had already planned to send the album master off on a Monday morning to be published, Little did I know a new song would rise only the previous day to this, I remember waking up from a dream at 5am on a Sunday morning, the day before I needed to send all the material off.

I had a dream that I was a soldier somewhere in the middle of a war zone close to a beach, But I was appointed in charge of rescuing the injured & bringing them to safety, So I would go to the sea shores & carry those injured individuals back to our camp where the soldiers can be looked after & nursed, As I was rescuing the injured all I was thinking of was a woman I loved & longed to be with again back at home, chances of survival were very slim but in the dream I had faith that I would see her again.

The determination was there not to be killed by crossfire while I am exposed carrying the injured to safety, But when I knew everyone I rescued was safe the dream took a sudden turn, & I found myself in a new place that seamed like a 1960s New Orleans, & I had a feeling of joy & happiness in that I survived a war & finally I could go & see my love again, On my way home to where I apparently lived in the dream I stumbled into a building, When I entered it this turned out to be an empty ballroom, But I could hear music playing, & it sounded like what one might define as “Free Jazz Music”.

I then awoke from my dream, The music in the dream kept playing while I was conscious, & I remembered there were certain different styles of music playing throughout the dream, Very rarely do I get to remember dreams as accurately as this one, but that dream was more like a Movie of which I dint only remember the picture but I remembered the soundtracks on each part of the dream.

Right then I knew this dream had to be included on the RuAch album.

That morning I contacted Carmine Manfredi our sax player & told him the dream, & asked him if he could help me with a very much-needed Sax piece on the “free jazz section” of the track.

That morning I went to our studio which we call “The Cave”, I played & recorded all the Drum parts, Bass, Guitars, & Vocals, Then Carmine came into the Cave from his job, it’s now 11pm, & he began to work on that section of the music until we were happy with it, I came back early the following Monday, mixed & mastered the track, Cut a new master disk & shipped the music off for publishing before midday that following Monday.

Today being a Monday I reminisced on that experience & thought I would share this message with you the family.

Sometimes we are slow to act & move with every ounce of inspiration we receive, I say move with your spirit to see your dreams accurately manifest into a physical existence.

So now I am wishing everyone who read this an inspirational & productive week.

Peace & blessings family

twenty sixteen, make your vision tangible

vonj profile 1

Peace and love family,

I wish you all a positively productive, and a prosperous new year.

Indeed we call this year twenty sixteen, positive expectations are on the rise, the new generation is becoming more and more privy to real information on world affairs.

TV and Cinema have just been bypassed by the growth of the internet, research may cause such a hefty ripple effect that Sports may not seem stimulating enough to distract the new bread of youths coming up.

all eyes are watching. the best thing we can ever do from now on is stay in our lane, be a master of ourselves so we can be able to truly test society and not be placed in a subservient position to the controlling cooperation and institutions. To put it more plainly, if you are into biology for example? study more into this science this year until you can invent your own standards that would stand either evenly or superior amongst that mainstream science

You see it is very easy to become complaisant about life, but whenever you see a flaw in science, politics, religion, TV, the arts, think of what you are able to do in your lane that could override an already flawed existence.

as I said in a song called the word, “We the people have the real power”

2015 for me was the year to draw my blue print, 2016 will be the year the works will be made seen. may we support each other on these things.

many Up dates coming soon.

feel free to comment your thoughts on this page any time

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 22 “Satyagraha”

These are all expressions that came through my heart. I have written these pieces to fit in within a musical format. What you read here has already been musically recorded, I hope you enjoy these messages family. Love; Vonj.

“Satyagraha”

Fighter why don’t you tell me this?,

do you fight for the world or for your soul,

hunger will always be unsatisfied,

to those who look for happiness in silver and gold, 

seasons come and seasons go and with it change,

but the question is that do we direct and control the change, 

In this place of decadence,

In this house of violence,

In this land of pretence,

we just need to fight for the truth, 

In this environment of detriment,

Find the truth, 

and so to impede what justifies an end to mankind,

don’t forget the lessons left by our ancestors,  

I know somehow deep within that there is no  life without purpose,

The feeling of purpose is defined by the feeling we have deep inside,

of which we may call consciousness,

In experience our lives can lead us into a dungeon of doubt,

to whatever is really the truth,

so we must train our minds never to be dogmatic about anything,

for it is only an OPEN mind that we will find any truth,

Peace and Love to Everyone.

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 20 “Eagles”

Eagles

Immigrants – they fight them,

Race – they divide them,

Poor man- they oppress them,

If this is your world view you got to stop the ignorance,

wake up! x3,

Mantra

As a people we need to understand this is an Eagle Invasion

if we want to be enlightened love is the only way….

love is the only way to kill this eagle invasion.

Second Part

Brother man– they Hang,

Teacher – they silence them,

Activist – they shoot them,

if this is your world view we need to stop this ignorance,

wake up x3,

Mantra

As a people we need to understand this is an eagle invasion

if we want to be enlightened love is the only way….

love is the only way to kill this eagle invasion x3

Extension

Its not hard to build, the courage to see you through,

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 18 “Red & Blue”

These are all expressions that came through my heart. I have written these pieces to fit in within a musical format. What you read here has already been musically recorded, I hope you enjoy these messages family. Love; Vonj.

RED & BLUE

Its a new birth,

its a time to celebrate,

Its a new birth,

its a time when hope is real,

all the months have gone by now you see the light,

Born and raised,

in a place where poverty lingers,

born and raised,

struggling just to see tomorrow,

even if he cried,

there’s no one to lend a helping hand,

SECOND PART,

Sailed to manhood,

to survive his got to fight,

sailed to mankind,

A gun in his hand he thinks he is protected,

little does he know prison will come his way,

through his eyes now,

he starts to see the world so clear,

through his eyes now,

shadows of old are now erased,

tears roll down from his eyes and now he see’s red and blue,

Mantra

Never give up,

Never tear your heart out,

find yourself,

its never to late.

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 10 “The Great Becoming”

These are all expressions that came through my heart. I have written these pieces to fit in within a musical format. What you read here has already been musically recorded, I hope you enjoy these messages family. Love; Vonj.

THE GREAT BECOMING

There’s a picture hanging on the wall,

We’ve all seen and some have used it all,

Watch as the picture gazes with its cunning eye,

It sees no colour but can seize your mind,

We stand on the other side of the wall,

Can you hear us calling you from your pain?,

Many have been maimed and named some they fall,

Don’t fall on deaf ears follow our call,

Second Part

Yes I hear them in the misty fields,

Chanting words of misconception,

This effect drains earth toward a slow death,

As where they find purity they pull a trigger,

Tears run down to my heart,

But the wonders of the solace is rising,

Can you feel a change but just can’t see it,

We are in the great becoming,

Resolution envision

I found a place for you,

A million miles away from the dark dark dark,

Can you hear my soul?,

Screaming out to save you,
