    Thank you so much for the kind words Misha!
    About my name (Felipe Vldjvrtzky) It's a combination of my real first name and a made up last name. I can't use my birth name due to how I (legally) came to the US and I don't care for my legal last name so I made up an amusing name using only consonants.
    All of the notes were indeed on purpose! I used a few scales with similar notes together which created some interesting modulations and chromaticism!

    He's shaking what appears to be Tajin, a Mexican seasoning consisting of mostly ground chilis and dehydrated lime crystals.
    It makes the best grilled corn.
    I mix some lime juice into the mayo before coating the corn, then sprinkle Tajin on it and grill HARD until you have this nice blackened crust of mayo, hit with another dash of Tajin if you want.
    Even starchy corn that has been at the store for a few days will plump right up and become not only super juicy but the kernels POP with authority when you're eating it.
    So. Good.

    I play guitar and piano since 8 y.o.
    But can you people believe, that i got robed . Been stolen a lot of my studio equipment ( apprx. for 3000 Eur ). I have 4 electric guitars , but robbers took only one ( so my acoustic ibanez , Cort 7 string and 5 string ibanez still alive ) .
    But fuck, they took the most loved and expensive guitar that i had , and saved money to buy it ( soo in total it was mine for approximately a month ) - Ibanez Tim Henson THBB10 :( :( So a little bit of sad story for my self . I think they took it , because it was the only guitar, that was stored in a case :D
    All others guitars just on guitar stands . Sorry guys for some personal shit . But that thing , make me be more respectful for guitar players and musicians in general .
    I hope u all stay safe and in good , positive mood ! I wish that no one stoles ur passion/hobby er even for some , job equipment
    Thanks .
    Loyal Horizon devices customer and big fan of BULB himself and Peryphery obviously !

    Filipe incorporated jazz fusion techniques and licks in his writing…I wouldn’t call them sour notes..you have to sort of come out of the usual scale shapes and think of it in intervals and modes..the use of chromatic notes is a common thing to build up the tension in jazz fusion…a bit of sour to make up appreciate the sweet..I think he mixed three modes together there and put in Phrygian lick where u usually wouldn’t…I think it would had been better if he did not arrange the drums to be that aggressive…his chord voicings needed space to fall and sink in and you could had appreciated the beauty of it more, if the drums did not fill in those spaces
