hibernating
the days grow dark
suffocating
so pull your boots on
walk out the door

frozen ridge line
and silver moon
distant tree line
the sleeping forest
is under snow

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

calculating
the solstice tide
enervating
procrastinating
walk out the door

frigid meadow
in moonlight glaze
dormant willow
is waiting naked
for your embrace

crystal flakes will crunch underfoot
icicles agleam
father winter will tread by your side
to the frosted stream

Michael and I will be introducing two new songs in roughly a month, and at that time the Fictive Sisters album "Immaculate Distraction" will be available on Bandcamp. We will let you know when and provide a link. Thanks always for your listening!

Parfums d'avant


  Dans la vie de simples symboles,  coupures d'esprit 
regards noirs s'envolent
 longues facéties annonces désinvoltes, du sang meurtri, 

 Tout n'est pas différent, il y a le temps qui se prolonge 
Sur le fil de nos songes, les lumières disparaissent
Laissons les bons moments, survivent étonnamment
Dans des grains de poussière, en suspends, en l'air



 Tous les mots d'amour se réduisent un jour dans les sources en cours et les pas de velours.
Ils résistent aux feux, ils résistent au vent, ils voyagent par tous les temps.
Inscrits dans nos mémoires, ils survivent au temps, gracieux, ils demeurent vivants
ils sont des charbons ardents , sur lesquels les ans, ne laissent pas de blancs

 C'est au fil du temps  des beaux moments on regarde enfant
les sables mouvants
visages étranges et faux semblants  bonbons sucrés regorgent d'amitié
les bons moments illustrent le temps des parfums d'avant
nos plus beaux chants
 des charbons ardents, sur lesquels les ans, ne laissent pas de blancs

Each winter here in the UK, small birds enact one of natures great spectacles. Each evening flocks ranging from a few hundred to over 100,000 individual Starlings form up into a single flowing entity swirling above their communal roosting sites. 
Why they do this is not fully understood, with theories ranging from a strategy to distract predators, to a grand display designed to draw more birds to the flock for the purpose of maximising the body heat being generated by the mass of the flock in the roost. 
Whatever the purpose of this behaviour it creates a unique and magical aerial display of great beauty.

The track began with the repeating mallet sequence, then the strings and lastly the piano. I'm finding myself increasingly drawn to improvising around basic chord progressions at the moment and this is another product of this approach. I'm  resisting the temptation to quantize or mess around with the midi in post, so it's all as played and of the moment. 

Thanks for listening, it's really appreciated.

Beyond the Shadows

Daze of night
Melts away
Dismal light
Starts the day

Long and stark
Time stands still
Frozen days
Beyond my will

And if I only can imagine
How would it feel again to hold you in my arms
And maybe I forget the future
And drift away so far above the trees
Beyond the shadows...

Beyond the Shadows

This song started as an idea David and I came up with to do an afrobeat song together.  So David came up with this banger of a bass line and drums track and sent it to me. I added some guitars, electric piano, and organ. I then excitedly sent it to Mikey to add the sax, which I consider to be a key element of afrobeat music, and which he always does so well. David's version is much more drum and bass heavy. Please have a listen to both so you can hear how they both sound. I really had a good time making this song. David produced and mixed both versions, and what a fun thing it is to hear my instruments integrated into an elrctronica song by such able hands.

Under the Baobab Tree (with David K. A. Spencer and Mikey McFaffington)

First time to work with Tea R. Sea with just the two of us, and it turned out great.     He wrote this one and I added the guitar.  I'm very much looking forward to working together again!

Lyrics:
Chorus
The joint it ain’t the joint—-until I smoke it in
And The club it ain’t the joint ——until I roll on in
Now you know it ain’t the joint ——until I smoke it in—-
until I smoke it in—-until I smoke it in

Verse1
The club it ain’t the joint until I roll on in
and she looks at me ——-like where the hell you been 
But I run a tight game—-smiling at her friend 
you take your time ——when you’re ready baby——-roll on in 
Cause she ain’t got no papers —— ain’t got no ring
So if I don’t come around, we’ll it ain’t a thing
For one—-I don’t keep score ——I just roll with it 
If it feels good, I explore —-yeah ——that’s —real-slick 
party here or next door —decisions made real quick 
and I don’t need no dance floor ———-or a sidekick
getting down real hardcore —and——the swagger’s sick 
that’s just—- what I’m built for ——so just— take your pick
keep you  body moving worldwide, don’t sweat it 
and the count is like a landslide —-yo—-I don’t slip 
inside or outside——If it ——rains——just—-let it 
It’s a journey ——not just a ride —and—I’m glad -we met
and the flow ——is like high tide ———-remix an edit

Chorus

Verse2
holding down my block——city —state ——and nation 
leveled up like a worldwide radio station 
Just keep in mind —-this is Just —-how I roll 
give it all ——to the music——body—heart—-and soul
Put my cards on the table and I’ll never fold 
cause I’m holding all the aces —-and I’m in control 
follow now let’s go deeper down this rabbit hole 
Dan put the track together ——and ——it’s winter cold
Now—-I’m dropping these —bars ——-like I’m on parole 
make it rain ——shake that booty —-round the metal pole 
Twerk it—-Twerk it ——ass Poppin    ——It’s on cruise control 
Throw it up ——switch it back ——like a centerfold 
Now-I’m going for a touchdown——like the Super Bowl
come on —-go again —-tell a friend —let me in 
dropping cheddar on the floor—- make it rain again
shake that ass a little more ——-back it up and bend 
over like you did before ————cause ——I’m—off the chain

Verse1

Light the sea 

When the night surprises me
that I am not sleepy alone 
then I defy time 
I implore the return of the sun 
and I think of the one who is missing 
that gives me wings

when the wind tells me
what it sees from the sky
these hatreds as old as the world 
that flow like rivers of shame
so I look at the one that counts 
and it gives me wings 

when my soul is adrift
I sail on a drunken boat
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky 

when life torments me
when questions fly in the air
when words lose their meaning
when expectations remain vain
then I look at the one I love 
so that she opens her wings to me

when my soul is lost and capsizes
when in the distance I can no longer see the shore 
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky

Eclairer La Mer (translated lyrics)

***EN FRANCAIS PLUS BAS*** (Original song, mix, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth) ⚠️ © (Copyright France) I did this for fun and this track is above all a test on the voice  because I like the blues! After 5 whisky, 50 cigarettes, 10 coffes, a few amphetamines, 2 bars of 100% cocoa dark chocolate and 200 takes to work on my voice here is the result...

TOPIC
About thirty years ago, I lived on a boulevard with incessant and very noisy road traffic. This artery was used dozens of times by emergency vehicles going to the emergency room near my home. And to top it off, the rooms of the apartment I rented were adjoining the delivery dock of a supermarket. Hell!
My next door neighbors were an elderly couple who had lived there forever. When I asked them if the noise didn't bother them, they both replied "Ah but not at all! We're used to it and we couldn't live without it, that reassures us!"
You will therefore have understood that this burlesque blues is for them who would certainly not have supported living in the countryside.
Raph aka KOE ✌️😎

Lyrics
"The nature it gives me the glands"
when I'm tripping around the boulevards
I watch the racing cars backfire
it puts a little animation
I like the ron-ron of the traffic jams.
The nature it gives me the glands
I'm bored, I want to hang myself
if there are no bars and easy girls
I'm like a chick in its omelet...
I dream of a nice apartment
in the middle of a crossroads
to enjoy the charming sound
sirens, that's velvet.
The songs of the piafs every morning
it wakes me up early and I'm not well
the rooster that brays in the barnyard
It's making me nervous, I'm counting down...
"hey Polo! Open the window! It is not well?
eh! Polo!?..."
*******************************
(Original song, mastering, vocals and lyrics by KidOfEarth)

Cette piste est avant tout un test sur la voix car j'aime le blues!
Après 5 whiskys, 50 clopes, 10 cafés, quelques amphétamines, 2 tablettes de chocolat noir 100% cacao et 200 prises pour travailler ma voix, voici le résultat...

TOPIC
Il y a plus de trente ans, j'ai habité sur un boulevard au trafic routier incessant et très bruyant. Cette artère était empruntée des dizaines de fois par les véhicules de secours qui se rendaient aux urgences près de chez moi. Et pour combler le tout, les chambres de l'appartement que je louais étaient mitoyennes avec le quai de livraison d'un supermarché. L'enfer!
Mes voisins de palier étaient un couple de personnes âgées qui vivait là depuis toujours. Quand je leur est demandé si le bruit ne les dérangeait pas, ils m'ont répondu tous les deux "Ah mais pas du tout! On a l'habitude et on ne pourrait plus s'en passer, ça nous rassure!"
Vous aurez donc compris que ce blues burlesque est pour eux qui n'auraient certainement pas supporté de vivre à la campagne.
Raph alias KOE ✌️😎

"La nature ça m'fout les glandes"
Quand j'me trimballe sur les boulevards
je mate les bolides qui pétaradent
ça met un peu d'animation
moi j'aime le ron-ron des bouchons.
La nature ça me fout les glandes
je m'emmerde, j'ai envie de me pendre
si il n'y a pas des bars et des minettes
Je suis comme un oeuf dans une omelette...
Moi je rêve d'un bel appartement
au beau milieu d'un carrefour
pour apprécier le son charmant
des sirènes, ça c'est du velours.
Le chant des piafs tous les matins
ça me réveille tôt et je suis pas bien
le coq qui braille dans la basse-cour
ça me rend nerveux, je fais le compte à rebours...
"hé Polo! Ouvre la fenêtre! On est pas bien là?
hein! Polo!?..."

Spring time (Guitar solo)

Coming Through-(Ground Floor-The REMIX)
Thought I was a lightweight
My flight plan—is up to date  
my playlist —on rotate 
beats bumping ——with tight brakes
just Call that———-solid State
Not here ——to negotiate
touchdowns—of—a—heavyweight 
I score ——and I penetrate 
Gone platinum —-straight out the gate
The crowd’s up——— we——celebrate
The pulse ——and the heart rate
No——-overtime—I’m feeling great 
The vibe’s ——love—-and never —hate
this is—-how ——-I navigate
———-Not here to negotiate 

—coming through—- with a vengeance 
declared my independence 
It’s underground not industry
I’ve got them doing penance 
that’s right—- took the high road 
not paid——-but i upload
The mix ——stirred—-to sound good
they’re hanging—— on my every word —(X2)
….On my every word

Thank god——- for his blessings 
Each track’s———a new lesson 
Hold on tight——-I’m coming through
Monument—still——collecting 
There—-Ain’t no second guessing
Looking forward—— for my next win
believe it—when—they leave—-
Like Lettuce—-cause—-I’m the dressing
—-no resting—— now—the best thing
Expanding and Investing———-
So ——Dreams are manifesting 
—-The flames I spit—-the game is lit🔥🔥 🔥
I’m burning —-down the contest
fireworks ——at your doorstep 
Scorch earth—-plan——in effect
You heard of me—-you know the rep
If you Feel the heat ——-you overslept 
Here’s your wake up call —-more or less 
Not a word —cause—-you’re speechless

Like water in the low land 
from China —straight—to Japan 
They’ll never —-know my flight plan, 
Or the reasons— that I don’t land 
Stay cool if you’re a fan——-
Calm—-cause I’ve got this
On the edge of——the abyss
A mystery they—-can’t resist
—Still—-drenched in sweat
Your Dripping wet—your look is pure anguish

No——heat —as hot—-as this
The flame’s——just infinite
That flows—polar opposites
That’s the flight of a Phoenix 
——that’s right bro ——you feel this
That’s the light of a Phoenix
The flight of a Phoenix

🔥🔥 🔥

MUSIC and SMILE have one thing in common: they are universal ways to communicate beyond borders, languages and other limitations. When we had the idea to put these together in our song, we realized this is one of the most powerful ways to express our joy and creativity and share it with the WORLD. It's a song about simplicity, about how a simple, sincere smile can be so effective in breaking the social barriers. It's about the freedom we feel when we take a step back from all the problems in our lives and can 'just smile'. Enjoy!

Single Release
KAIX - I'm In South (Original Mix)
Release Date: 29th July 2015

Bringing to Tech House the tantalizing sounds of mystical India, "I'm In South" is a West meets East dynamically structured single, fluidly blending sounds of different cultures to create something fresh and exciting.

The powerful basslines featured make this a groovy, rhythmic release bound to engage. Piercing into these basslines is a foreign sound, like a bold intruder, yet this intruder seamlessly flows with the track.
Who is he?

Hungry for adventure, Kaix journeyed deep into India, exploring places both known and unknown. His journey extended itself, for he was constantly visiting new places in search of new sights and sounds.
Eventually Kaix ended up in South India, a place rich in culture, art, and music. He found himself in a temple one day, and observed as a priest picked up a strange looking instrument resembling a clarinet. Intrigued and unsure, Kaix waited to hear what it would sound like. When the priest finally played the instrument, the sounds emitted from it were something of another world. It pierced through the temple with a strangely unique, warped tonality to it that was simply indescribable. The mystical, enchanting melody hypnotized Kaix and further intrigued him. Seeing that he simply had no appropriate words to describe it, Kaix realized that he had to sample this. 

This is the intruder. Intruding not only into the track but also into the minds of all that listen to it, captivating and enthralling them. The combination of this enchanting foreign sound with the sounds of Tech House creates a tasteful rendition of West marrying East in an unexpectedly vibrant union. Also featured within the track are the sounds of some South Indian drums.

That’s My Jam! Records hits the ground running with this innovative first release, showing promise and new talent in the Tech House world.

Kaix - I'm In South [PREVIEW] OUT TODAY!

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)
