Recording my heartbeat (wt an iPhone)

Hey, Robot (Lovley version)

Friday eve wt the Soundcloud ukelele orchestra at SoundCloud HQ

Another OLD thing ;). The fun part is possibly that all sounds were extracted from the original two track master and using some crazy phase shifting adding/subtracting stuff to get single track sounds out... No synths, no additional samples. Had this idea at the time about dogmatically creating remixes using only the master as source. Anyway...

SpeakerText Transcript of the Track:
Hey, Mum, are you still there?

I'm still here.

OK, cool. This should be recording now, on SoundCloud. So, so the thing was, I was actually, when I met with Paul and Laura we talked about them, you know, being teachers. I realized that there is, like, there's a lot of teachers in our family. And, it kind of goes back to Granddad, right? So.

That's right, that's right I think he was the first, the first one that, that went in that direction.

Yeah, tell me about him. Your grandad, what a man, a man who was the full of direct, full of direction. I think from the stories I've heard when he was younger he knew exactly where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do. Left Cormel, which was a very, rural background for him and moved out into the world. 

Full of ideas, full of confidence in his own ideas, but all the time based in--I think the fantastic thing about your grandad was that it was always based in reality. You know, he always kinda went back to, if he wasn't sure about something, he'd go out into garden and dig for a while. Yeah, one of his favorite, my favorite comments from him is, "You know, you've got to just go out to the garden and listen to everything grow." 

And that will help you to, that will help you to put things into perspective.

Yeah.

So that was the kind of calm, down-to-earth side of him. But then there was, and then there was a side that who really believed in what he did as a teacher. He believed in, that he was helping, helping people forward. Yeah.

He was giving people opportunities and resources, and I think that was something he always did for us too. 

Yeah.

And yeah, then another side was his fantastic level of the arts, of poetry and music and..

Right.

Smuggling me into a jazz concert at a very early age and--

Oh, really? 
I didn't know that. You haven't told me that. I remember something like he used to play--he had like records of folk and the things that he used to play, right?

That's right. I've still got them. One day we should sit down if and we can find a record player we should-- He also used to play, I don't know if you've heard of "Under Milk Wood," a piece by Dylan Thomas, see, and I have that, I still have that record of his, too. We should sit down and listen to--And he played a them very loud late at night when we were supposed to be asleep. 

Well The other thing that didn't really fit in with the picture of him was that he used to love football and he used to watch football matches on the television late at night as well and he'd always shout when they scored goals.

Oh, really? That doesn't seem like it fits him, like, I mean, like with how I remember him. So...What about the jazz club? What happened there?

Well that was just...I can't remember how old I was. But he was keen on jazz and decided to to take me to a...I think it was Aka Bilk, who was playing in Bristol if I remember...I mean long, long, long ago, and I was really a bit too young to get in but I got in anyway. And then we used to go to listen to modern poetry readings and poetry sessions as well. 

We're talking back in the 60's now. 

Yeah.

So that was...and I think...No, I don't know whether the dance came from him. I think the dance came for us came bit later on. A wonderful, wonderful man. Yeah, he led us all in some way to where we are.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I have ton of great memories from him as well. Cool.

Okay. 

Thank you.

You're welcome. Alright, well, yeah. This is been a long recording.

Turn the recorder off now. Go back to normal.

Alright, hang on. I'm... okay. Let me try and shut it off. Hang on.

Transcript (via speakertext.com)
Hello Mr, are you still there? Hello. All right cool. So I've patched in. There was do saying. Ther was a do saying, Sound Cloud. That's where the robot, that's the robot listening in on the call. So you can say that to the web. So this is, this is my Sunday friends and family series, friends and families chats. So what I was thinking, I was thinking about that you were born in Iran and grew up most of your life in Sweden. Right?Yeah.So I thought you, I think you told me once before you can tell me again the story of how that happened? Yeah, it's quite an interesting story. I was, yes, I was born in Teheran with my family and living there. And as you might know, there was a war between Iran and Iraq at that time. So, yeah, but it wasn't sort of really affecting Tehran that much in the beginning, except obviously you have to get food coupons and, you know, didn't have access to all the things you sort of usually had and my dad went to, my dad went to the military service during the war. Which was a totally bit stressful for my mom but, you know, for me and my sister, we weren't really that, we weren't really, we didn't really get it I think.Yeah, do you remember it? Do you remember that or was it like really early?No, I mean I was about probably three or four when he sort of went away and you know, it was like, "Yeah, Dad's going away. Alright, cool. Let's go play a bit. Daddy's coming soon. Alright." you know to get him home and sort of play with him. And we got some photos as well. Some of him in his military clothes and so it was sort of, I don't know, I don't think we really got it. Yeah, until there was the war came to Tehran a bit more. So that was sort of sending flights, and you know, there was actually sort of bombings. During the nights when there were sort of planes coming in, you could hear the sirens going, the big nasty sort of wheeee.Air raid sirens.Exactly, yeah. So then we lived on the floor.That would wake you up in the middle of the night? Yeah. I don't really remember. But I just remember we just always had to go down. We went into the basement.Yeah.And sort of sat there and yeah it was, you could sort of hear, I actually remember sort of hearing the missiles sort of coming down. You know, this very, sort of like wheeeee and then it would sort of shake, more or less, based on how close sort of the bombs would hit. It was quite creepy.Yeah.And I'm told I was peeing my pants, but I can't remember that.I wouldn't do that to you.But, I don't know. The memories aren't that bad still when I think back on it. But I think, obviously, for my parents, it must have been really horrible. So until before that, they were never even considering to leave but then my aunt actually moved so they decided to move and I think he was sort of like, "Yeah, let's go to Sweden. Seems to be a good education system and they seem to be accepting immigrants. Pretty much stay less and, you know, we...Yeah, just I think a couple of months after that my parents decided to go as well. And, you know, they really didn't want to leave, but it was like they really did it sort of for us. It was for...Yeah, if we hadn't been around, I don't think they would have moved. So, yeah, so...my dad was still doing his military service during the war, which is not very handy, but yeah, so, yeah...my...We ended up going, me, my sister and my mom first. And we also...I think actually two weeks before we were going decided to bring my cousin as well, without his parents.Was that Aman, or...?No, Haman, my other cousin. So he's five years older than me, so we ran to my mom and us three, took a bus to Turkey, and then sort of, I think we got smuggled out somehow, and flew yeah, we stayed three days in Istanbul. And there.Yeah. And how was that? How were the borders? Could you actually get through, or how did that work?You know, I don't know. I think we had some fake papers or whatever, I don't know. But I think we sort of met the smuggler guy sort of in Turkey.Okay.I think that was sort of.Yeah, we were there three days and then got the papers and then sort of flew to Sweden. We heard all these rumors, like yay, Sweden. It's day half of the year and then it's night half of the year.But that's true.Yeah, it turned out to be true. But also, yeah, and I remember. So we came to Sweden. This was like the best time for Sweden in terms of financially. It took really off well care of us and.Okay.I remember the first thing I saw we had, you know, where we stayed, I watched Inspector Gadget, that's my first, sort of, Sweden memory and then we had Corn Flakes which I didn't like. So that's sort of a couple of the sort of memories. And then, yeah, and then my dad came sort of think he, almost a year after us. Yeah.So he stuck around and was like in the military stay for another year before he managed to get out.Yeah, but also, no, he was in the military, but then after that was waiting for his papers to get done while also, he did the really horrible stuff like he sold everything we had. You know, he was going down to the mart and there was a lot of people turning off their lights.Yeah. I remember he had built a lot of the furniture we had at home and yeah, he must have been really sad sending off the things you have with all the memories and just getting rid of everything and starting from scratch in a strange new place.Yeah.And by that time as well, no internet, obviously, and calls were like, I think it was like Euro fifty a minute, and by that time that was probably worth five Euro. So it was really expensive to make phone calls. We spoke once every couple of months, and we sent letters, things like that, and then also I remember one of the consequences was when my dad came, it became really weird with the roles of him and my mom because, obviously in Iran, the culture is very dominated by men and the man is doing everything and taking care of most stuff. But then so when he came Sweden, he didn't know anything. He didn't know any of the rules. He didn't know the language. None of that. And then sort of, and then my mom was sort of the man of the house.Yeah. Yeah.I think that was quite troubling, as well, for them for a while.Yeah. Yeah.You know, to come over that. But yeah, hey, it all went really well after that and now living in London and then it's like, it's crazy to be forced to move but hey, I'm in some ways I'm glad. I'm glad your parents decided to move. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you. There's a lot of and it's actually quite funny, because this summer my, I've got an uncle who's one year younger than me. My dad is the oldest and he's the youngest of 10 kids and so he's got a visa this year for the first time to leave to sort of come over to Europe.Okay.And he's never, he's never, ever been outside of Iran.Oh, right.And, you know, we've got you know, we got the same blood. You know, same family.Yeah.You know, he works actually at an internet cafe. Oh, he's just coming to visit or is he.Yeah, he's coming to visit so yeah every time I'm there you know he takes care of me and Katisha. I'm going take him for a big trip this summer to Paris and we're going to Barcelona, etc. But it's just so funny I was, you know, it's just funny to see how different our lives are.Yeah.You know, and we sort of grew up together. Yeah, it's pretty -- I was reallysad last time I was there, actually feeling, you know, it's not really fair. Yeah. Yeah. So you say you guys are going on a crazy trip then to Australia. Yeah. Cool.I think it's going to be, you know, just imagine, he's never been in an environment where women don't have scarves. So there's just so many things like that that will be quite new and exciting for him so.Yeah.I don't think we can fail.Alright, cool. So let's do a chat after he's been here if you let me know how it went. What he thought of it. Yeah, part two. Maybe he can join in. Does he speak English?No. No. Okay. All right.You have to enable, you have to build an app with Google auto live translator.Yeah, okay. Let's check that out.Thank you. I'm going to turn it recording now, hang on two seconds, hang on.Okay.

Welcome to Tel Aviv, SXF-TLV, #B737, #LY, #arriving at Ben Gurion Airport

Yet another old file from a long time ago… 

Philip's Push

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulate_(song)#Synopsis

On a cool, clear night, typical to Southern California, Warren G travels through his neighborhood, searching for women with whom he might initiate sexual intercourse. He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.

Nate Dogg, having just arrived in Long Beach, seeks Warren. On his way to find Warren, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. Regardless, he insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.

Warren makes a left turn at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, in the East Hill/Salt Lake neighborhood, where he sees a group of young men enjoying a game of dice together. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chagrin, he discovers they intend to relieve him of his material possessions. Once the hopeful robbers reveal their firearms, Warren realizes he is in a less than favorable predicament.

Meanwhile, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Warren. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Warren G, being held up by the young miscreants.

Warren, unaware that Nate is surreptitiously observing the scene unfold, is in disbelief that he is being robbed. The perpetrators have taken jewelry and a name brand designer watch from Warren, who is so incredulous that he asks what else the robbers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhetorical question.
Observing these unfortunate proceedings, Nate realizes that he may have to use his firearm to deliver his friend from harm.

The tension crescendos as the robbers point their guns to Warren's head. Warren senses the gravity of his situation. He cannot believe the events unfolding could happen in his own neighborhood. As he imagines himself in a fantastical escape, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Nate.
Nate has seventeen cartridges to expend (sixteen residing in the pistol's magazine, with a solitary round placed in the chamber and ready to be fired) on the group of robbers, and he uses many of them. Afterward, he generously shares the credit for neutralizing the situation with Warren, though it is clear that Nate did all of the difficult work. Putting congratulations aside, Nate quickly reminds himself that he has committed multiple homicides to save Warren before letting his friend know that there are females nearby if he wishes to fornicate with them.

Warren recalls that it was the promise of copulation that coaxed him away from his previous activities, and is thankful that Nate knows a way to satisfy these urges.

Nate quickly finds the women who earlier crashed their car on Nate's account. He remarks to one that he is fond of her physical appeal. The woman, impressed by Nate's singing ability, asks that he and Warren allow her and her friends to share transportation. Soon, both friends are driving with automobiles full of women to the East Side Motel, presumably to consummate their flirtation in an orgy.

The third verse is more expository, with Warren and Nate explaining their G Funk musical style. Warren displays his bravado by claiming that individuals with equivalent knowledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyrical mastery. There follows a brief discussion of the genre's musicological features, with special care taken to point out that in said milieu the rhythm is not in fact the rhythm, as one might assume, but actually the bass. Similarly the bass serves a purpose closer to that which the treble would in more traditional musical forms. Nate goes on to note that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find themselves in a state of intoxication daily (from Nate's other works, it can be inferred that the substance referenced is marijuana). Nate concludes his delineation of the night by issuing a vague threat to "busters," suggesting that he and Warren will further "regulate" any potential incidents in the future (presumably by engaging their enemies with small arms fire).
