Intense guitar, in a class of its own. I had one of my dissonance tunes high on the charts. Some Christian "rock" musicians mocked it as being just so "bad". So, naturally, I made several more tunes in this genre. This is a favorite.
experimental jam dissonance not a pop tune

HavenHead band came out of our warm water therapy spa company. It seems that all of the staff of Haven Spas, Havenmade.com and spaspecialist.com are seasoned and great musicians, even our reps play music. Haven Head Music is getting some great Reviews! I want to thank you for all your support. As we expand and grow we have now come to be truly on the high end of professional level of quality and the pure creative force of Sandy's lyrics and melodies is just amazing. Heart Be True became number 1 in rock general and #9 in all of rock out of 175,000 tunes, in one day after uploading it. It remains in the top 20 in all of rock and in the top 3 of "rock general" for many weeks now. This is not an accident, it is mature, extremely good music that is soothing to the soul. It is outstanding even with hundreds of thousands of tunes it rises to the top for many weeks. You can't help but to be drawn in to "Heart Be True", Sitting in the Woods", "Own My love" "Baby Come On Home? 35 Miles Down the Road hase been number 1 on the charts, and Flying Down the Mountain has been in the top 10 of Bluegrass for over a year now. If you are not listening to Haven Head music then you are missing out on something really fine. People are telling us that Haven Head music is different that it requires some understanding to get into it. There are sometimes two cross melodies and up to four separate melodies all intertwined. We go from the clean and simple to the extremely complex. If you can focus on this music and get the essence of it, it is difficult to go back and listen to "regular" music. That is what some of our listeners are telling us. Turn up the music and listen to it on a good sound system. Some of the tunes go off the edge on dissonance, but people tell me that the keep listening, because there is something about the way it grabs your mind. Not always but when in the mood. Jim Arjuna ("The Kahuna") Says: This is the music that did not get made in the 60's, 70,s, 80's, and 90's, because we were too busy with the extreme complication of life that we created for ourselves. We all started getting "serious" when we realized that there wasn't much good "new music" out there. I started recording just so I could listen to music that I really love to hear. Like most musicians we play what we love to hear.....we play for the enjoyment of ourselves. Jim has played East Indian instruments and figured out the nature of their music, when Jim was in India, and I found out why this "raga" music is so loved in India. Here is why: It is a type of music that evolved in an ancient culture. Our country is 200 plus years, our country is our culture that we developed. Their music is so much more sophisticated and has transitioned over 6,000 years of culture. So, I started making rock and roll and blues style based upon their system. There are many basic blues style of riffs contained as the foundation, but it is different. In their system, the Key is odd because the base lines are all within two notes and those two noted are the base foundation of many, and I mean many cords and melodies. This unliimits where you can take a tune. The music has so many transitions in it that it sounds like several tunes in one song ,but it always come "home" to let you know you are in the same "place" and the same tune. This is very difficult music to play, like jazz and jazz is not the most popular because of its complexity (People like simple songs in pop music.) because it is remembered emotionally but must include the same "riffs" at least twice and not go too far out so that you can always get back home several times in the tune. In India a "Raga" is a sophisticated "jam session". If you get into this "rock raga" music you will have multiple transitions into what seems like you are going far away from the basic emotion, but you always find a way back to the inner feeling. That feeling or thought is what initiated the tune. Sometimes it goes "way out there" but always comes back for a different sort of contrast. God Bless You all. May you find joy in this crazy world.
