Tito Abeleda – Defiance: Fight For Truth (Spotify)

Inspiration can come from anywhere at any time. When this mysterious muse hits you, you know it. You are compelled to follow your inspirational passion through to the end. For this writer’s newest musical creation, inspiration came from an unlikely place. Inspiration has often revealed itself during emotionally sad or joyous moments. This time, inspiration came from a place of fury. Like all creative endeavors, this one was an all-consuming experience. Fortunately, the reward was a welcomed catharsis for having expressed what desperately needed to be expressed.

Here, this writer drew from his love of music from a diverse proclivity for classical music, dance, EDM, trance, and hip hop. There is a driven fury heard throughout the song, evidenced from a massive brass motif of ‘basso profundo’ depth, depicting the struggle to find truth. Near the beginning, the listener can hear a piercing anthemic brass synth ensemble repeating the motif, in this instance, in its full chordal splendor, as if heralding from the Heavens to motivate the search for truth. As the song evolves, the song musically portrays what it would be like to live in a world that honors, and values truth depicted in a violin solo that segues into a trance like arpeggio section done in classical counterpoint. Throughout the entire song, there is a combination of hip hop and EDM percussive rhythms to give this song a driving more syncopated rhythmic flavor indicative of real-life because life never goes on an even 4 on the floor pace. The melding of all of this led to the birth of Defiance: Fight for Truth that reflects this writer’s undulating emotional state – furious, deep, melancholic, epic, vehement coupled with contrasting glimpses of dreamy hope. In the end the listener is reminded of the reality that still exists. Nothing has changed. Fortunately, music artists have music to express their truths. As Jack Kerouac more pointedly believes and asserts, that the only truth is that which comes from music.
