I wrote this song last year. My roots have always been in dance music but recent years my love for tribal music has grown. So I really wanted to blend my two favourite genres into one track.

Built this track all with instruments, used a 12 string to create the synths, Flute to give it some depth. used Abelton to build the drums and also got my dear brother @joe jordan to add some djembe to give it more organicness

MAKE IT GO AWAY

Experimental Set curated specifically for Skronktronic, a monthly event by SKRONK label, held at New River Studios --- links at the bottom 

The first two thirds of this set was a collage of new things I am working on, trying them out to see how they work together, with some echoes thrown in of established tracks, flowing into the last part which is an independent older track now given new life.
Its first iteration was as part of the collaborative performance piece  "From the Light that is Us" which you can explore here:  https://www.alice-karveli.co.uk/the-light-that-is-us

LYRICS : 
-----------------
Get lost in your own silence
Get lost in your own violence 
To find what’s underneath 
Sleeping undisturbed for so long 
.  .  .  
I am the mother you forgot you came from 
The nature you forget to care for 
The self you forget to dare for 
The tears that blessed your eyes
The fountain of your lust 
Your wounded broken trust 
.
.
.
Something has to give you 
back to yourself, Alone 
and only 
Alone and lonely here, Remotely 
clear you hear the call of tongues 
the fall of songs eerie
and familiar

But when down shore they 
worship the profane, how 
can you find the way back 
Upstream with no luck
no row no boat you float
adrift beyond the shores that bore you,
that still adore you

You wouldn’t know
the call beyond this wall
of beating crashing waves upon 
your memory, your fires now quenched 
Abandoned sails
with wails of anguished hope you roll 
Down with the currents and out beyond
all you once thought known

to bury yourself in horizon 
to find out what’s true 
to discover what the deepest part of you 
knew 
all along 

But couldn’t hear it
bubble up from Within
while all those voices Without 
drowned it out in your mouth 
and out of your eyes, back, into your throat back 
into your imagined skies at night.

And you’ll grow old and then you’ll find 
In the dark night of your Soul, when 
you were drifting far and blind
exploding stars danced brighter above than any Sun of Morning. 

Until the moment comes 
when yearning lands upon the one
who burns in your eyes brighter…
And right before the coming dawn 
You are found:

Immersed in Sound
Ablaze and released
into Bliss

Suspended on the Borderline 
where union is ultimate Truth.
