The world of An Di Yi is somewhat hectic and not exactly overstaffed! So a trip to the UK for Christmas and New Year, immediately followed by a job in Beijing has led to the late release of my official SoundCloud chart for 2013.

Hopefully you won’t let that spoil your enjoyment of these amazing artists! Congratulations to all, especially to Dances with Sheep, who narrowly took the No 1 spot.

I only started my SoundCloud adventure at the end of March 2013, and I am simply amazed at the quality of music I’ve discovered. All of my top 20 could have been No 1, and there are many more tracks from the thousands I’ve listened to which could easily have been included.

Thanks to all my SoundCloud friends, and I hope my chart will introduce you to one or two artists you haven’t heard yet.

Voices In The Secret Feast  (Bailar! Bailar!)

Hi Guys:), another track with the cello inspired by the artwork from Banksy. I love his works and when I saw this picture for the first time, I imagined how it would be if one would follow the balloon. If you're unfamiliar with his works, than have a look, its worthwhile:)

Hope you enjoy:)!

According to the mythology of Kuzhebar people SHU KHUR - 
is the Guide which one could get in the process of the painful initiation. This guide directs the person towards strong, pure and purposeful life. 
In different sources SHU KHUR is also the spirit of groundwater and it's usually depicted as a water bird or a woman with the bird attributes.

Hello ears :)

I'd love to you meet Beth. Beth is 15 years old. I'd not met Beth until 24 hours ago.. but I'd over heard her practicing in her bedroom a couple of times when round her house teaching younger sis.. I thought I want to capture that voice!!

So Beth popped round yesterday, First I recorded her gtr, then she sang the vocal afterwards. Both captures were One take, no edits !! She just came and sang.. even full of cold.. 

Personally I think she sounds gorgeous & I wanted to share this talent with you. 
I hope you enjoy. 

Beth's fb page is here - things will be happening in the future - worth a like imho.

You kill me again

This is a small adventure into bitonality.. let's just say I wasn't very brave, but I do like the simplicity of it!

.............................................................

How did it come to this?
I ask myself again

A city turned its back on me
All the buildings dull & grey

I don't want this feeling no more
But at the start it was so..

How has it come to this?
I ask myself, again.
I thought once that it was a dream
But now I just don't know

I don't want this feeling no more
But at the start it was so..

You said you'd see me on Sunday
Our time has come & gone
Second guessing & fooling myself
I want to find my home.

Sunday

*** ELT PROJECT wrote this as an instrumental.  He wrote the title and all the instruments.  I heard it and loved it and asked if he would mind if I put lyrics, vocals and a melody to it.  He graciously said yes.  It was a pleasure - ELT is a freaking genius...you can listen to his other fine works on his SoundCloud page - https://soundcloud.com/extremeloungeterror


IT'S A FINE LINE


ELT/DWS (2013)

Right is wrong
wrong is right
it’s black and blue throughout the night
I pull it left and you push it right
we may love or we may fight

It’s such a fine line
it’s such a very fine line
It’s such a fine, fine line
a very very very fine line

Sky turns into sea
sea turns into sand
sand turns into me
Baby, I’m in you

Grey is black
Gray is white
Red, green and black throughout the night
I bet it loose and you play it tight
Let’s spin the ball and bring the lights

It’s such a fine line
it’s such a very fine line
It’s such a fine, fine line
a very very very fine line

Sky turns into sea
sea turns into sand
sand turns into me
Baby, I’m in you

Red is blue and
green is green
I’ll figure out just what you mean
all those colors I’ve never seen
eat each other when I dream

It’s such a fine line
it’s such a very fine line
It’s such a fine, fine line
a very very very fine line
