Bold Explorations of Uncharted Space, Vol. 11

Order CD + Digital here: https://futuresequence.bandcamp.com/album/subsiding 

Prominent Iranian artist Siavash Amini continues a triptych of works with ‘Subsiding’, an album of instrumental ambient drone. His most full and detailed sound to date illustrates Amini’s ability to bring together modern classical composition with that of controlled noise, granular synthesis, and atmospheric soundscape. Both monolithic and micro sound sculptures coexist within a perfect balance, a mix which makes for an all encompassing listen across the audio spectrum, funereal yet uplifting.

Complete with striking cover photography by Alex Kozobolis, “Subsiding” will be available on glass-mastered CD in digipack sleeves (run of 200) and digital formats.

LOVE WANTS ITS OWN WAY
——————————————

Love wants its own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame

everywhere but neither no where
oh she’s got a heart of a zen fool

Love wants its own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame
going everywhere but nowhere
oh where?
nowhere!
she’s got the heart of a zen fool! zen fool! zen fool….
a heart of a zen fool….
zen fool
zen fool
zen 
fool, fool…

… attitude
attitude, oh love wants its own way
own way
she’s got the attitude of a dame
going no where but everywhere
going no where
going no where
but everywhere
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere

she’s every place your mind can imagine
she’s been everywhere
to the darkest corner
corner, corner, she’s been everywhere
to the darkest corner
she’s been everywhere, to the darkest corner
she’s been everywhere, to the darkest corner

oh it all takes time
oh then you see

yeah you better believe
oh it all takes time
each day, all takes time, yeah, you’ll see 
it all takes time
want, want
yeah, you better believe
it all takes time
each day ok, ok, ok ::::::::

Love Wants Its Own Way | The Consolers

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

- John
