Thank you for taking the time to write

I have made small revisions that you may not be aware of. The transition around 0:44 is a little smoother. The Celli around 1:50 was replaced with a flute.

Hi Manuela, thanks for the nice words and nice to read that you liked it.
The appreciation I receive here on LM is uplifting.
Thanks again,
Frans

Yes, thank you Manuela. I will upload a new mix with those corrections. Appreciate your wise comments. Jm

Hi Manuela,

Thanks for the great review its pleasing to read those words so thank you for the comment and listen oh and fav they are much appreciated i will catch up on your new one soon :)

Hello Manuela, Im glad u got a chance to listen to some music today. Its ironic that u mention the darker vibe that I tend to use in alot of my music, because today Jared and I were brainstorming ideas for some future projects, and we laid out some general blueprints - and part of what we discussed was kind of a flipside to what the Monzder Squadd is, and that is going to be our next project. It will be just me & Jared as a duo, smaller in scope to the our current work, quite a bit brighter and more hopeful overall is the vibe we're going to aim for. The Monzder Squadd became pretty visceral and raw, the lyrics about pain and struggle, while the next will be about the peace that is found when one overcomes those struggles, and also about fatherhood, as Jared has 2 little girls, my nieces, and his pride and joy. Im hoping he'll warm up to the idea of singing a little bit for a track or 2, as i know that he can, and i have software that would make just about anyone sound that much better. We will see, though. I hope this intrigues u a little bit, lol. I do have some songs that are quite different than my usual work, such as the songs Ive made for Britt over the years - they deserve another run in the spotlight, too, i think. Thank u for ur time and thoughtful words, as always. A comment from u always makes me happy :) - Aaron

I have 3 grown up children (kay)

Hi, I have uploaded a new version under the title "Longing"

Hi, I'm not quite happy with the lead guitar yet, the simple loop just doesn't offer enough. I should have waited. I'm working with a guitarist friend on a much better version, I promise! Cool melody, arpeggios, and a tasty solo over the empty end. The distorted voice was actually intentional, it's a kind of doubler effect (unfortunately lo-fi quality), but I like playing with it. But maybe I'll leave it out after all(?) So, wait for an upgrade ;-)

Know where you are coming from there - I had my first child at 21 : ) I remember being the last person to leave a club and having chips in a basket halfway thru the night! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Kay

Hi little one.
Thanks for this comment and I understand what you mean.
And of course it's very nice if I could think like that, but somehow I still see myself as a starter or something.
There's so much freaking good music here on LM
And then I think...hear my beats now.
that's nothing compared to their music. Then the compliments help me feel a little more confident, you know?
And on the other hand, I am also proud for a layman who has never had anything to do with music or singing and which I have now taught myself in 4 years without any help.
And there are still things in my daw that I don't know how to use so I still have a lot to learn.

Hi little one and thank you for your compliment.
Love from your mommy

Hello Manuela
It is of course a great pleasure to know you liked my work. It is a great pleasure to know it sounded authentic to you, I really love to consider my music making a way to express so many things, so many thoughts and I really enjoy these positive opinions. Please do not laugh, it is like giving a piece of chocolate to a child....real joy. Thank you for your friendly approach and for your inspirational comments
My best regards, Anthony

Hey Manuela ,thx for nice words, most hard and same time most interesting part is make something new , I truly happy to hear that from you cos first time I listen your acapella I say oh man such difficult vocal to me )

Manuela thanks for your listen and comment, we all appreciate your input as you know, i know im a lucky guy and get the option to work with loads of great artists of which you are obviously included too, i never expected to come as far as i have and i always put it down to the individuals i work with, i can be me and i just have great faith in all my colleagues to be them and be truthful, both Oli and Kay are exactly that just like you, people i trust admire and respect we all appreciate you and your time thank you form us all for your a superstar :)

Of course you can princess it would be a honour.
I'm happy you liked it.

So in the year when you were born, is when I came up with that chord structure at the age of 16. That was the first time I was able to use modern decent equipment to make that work in a way I wasn't disgusted with. I will say that I evolved quite a bit after I had a work colleague tell me to stop making pop drivel, and handed me a Casette of Underground NYC house music. I was floored at the simplicity, complexity, and minimalism of it. It took a few years to understand ho and when to build a dance track that people would resonate with. Thank you for listening!

Hi Manuela,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and kind words about the music! I really appreciate the time youve taken to share your perspective. Its always great to hear different viewpoints on the lyrics, and I understand where youre coming from. Music can be such a personal experience, and I respect your interpretation.

Most of the songs that carry themes like you mentioned are from my older rap days, and to be honest, those tracks were pretty rawlots of anger, vulgarity, and dark, rebellious energy haha. I'll dig them up someday and share them with you so you can see a different side of me!

A little backstoryI worked as a Search and Rescue officer from 2014 and headed some Internally Displaced Camps between 2015 and 2019. Those years were intense, and my experiences in those environments definitely shaped a lot of what I write about. You get to see the world from a very raw, unfiltered angle in those situations, and it really pushed me to talk about the issues that affect peopleespecially the most vulnerable. Its a long story, but yeah, my past experiences and upbringing have led me to where I am today. Ive often found myself feeling like just one person trying to make sense of whats wrong in the world and wishing I could do something to help. But sometimes, you know, it can take its toll. Its a complicated journey, and Im still navigating it.

As for the missionary undertoneI completely get what you mean. Its never my goal to push any particular agenda; I just want to express ideas that resonate with people on different levels. But I agree with you that we need to address the real, urgent issues facing humanitywhether its environmental destruction, social injustice, or the countless other challenges we face. These are things that definitely weigh on my mind, and I believe collective action is key to bringing about change.

Regarding other topics, absolutely! Ive written songs on themes of human reason, hope, and the power of change, and Id love to share some of those with you soon. Art, for me, is often about opening doors to new ways of thinking, so I definitely have more to offer in that regard.

Thank you again for your honesty and for the thoughtful conversation. No need to apologize for your perspectiveit's important to talk about these things, and I really value your insights.

Best regards,
Richard
