The Big Orange Heads is a full effect of being free, a strive for a dream that exists beyond the limits of the human mind. Tido starts up the bass, Mike continues with a guitar rift. As I hear the melody of the guitar strumming as the bass fills in the emptiness of the sound, I am able to fill that gap with a rhythm from my soul. Barak's soul blends in as he sings words that come from within. BOH is MY "Jes Grew".

The song is coming along, the parts are fitting together as if all four of our minds come together in a improvisational manner. All of us can't comprehend how we organize the tune. Something of this multitude, writing music is something that can't be forced upon a person. It just comes out of the human body, in sound wave form. In  a sense the music comes together freely, and not  in a organized manner at all.

In society today, music is so free will, and everywhere that it's hard to contain it in its original form. Musicians today are recreating sounds with their own sounds of the future. Music is not written anymore in a sense of having that LIVE human element to it, it's just a recreation of the past. BOH is MY "Jes Grew" in the terms of being able to keep that LIVE human element and write music the way it was written in the past.

When I play a certain song, or a certain beat, the formality of the beat just is brought upon myself, by my soul feeling that certain sound. Different sounds depict different rhythms and beats.

My name is Steve Sparacino, and BOH is my "Jes Grew".

For this specific Blog I chose to pick our album cover which is the photo with the Orange, getting squeezed by the headphones. The layout I chose was a basic body layout, and I made sure that my background photo can relate to the text as well as the photo to identify us while analyzing both the text and photo. I related my text to the book "Mumbo Jumbo" and Reed's depiction of "Jes Grew" in the book. I wanted to convey to my audience that "Jes Grew" in the book is described as "disease" that makes people want to dance and feel free. BOH is MY "Jes Grew" for the reasons that I am able to play music with three other human brains, and every show we let loose, and just let the music flow all together. In my text I describe the process and the feeling of writing a new song.
