Your voice with huge reverb is the universe !! 🎶🎤🧜🏻‍♀️💗

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 14th October 2024 from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch545

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. 

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Christmas songs and the like are also not eligible for the Listening Post, although we will collect these into a playlist that will be published on 24 December.

ENTIRE INBOX: BATCH 545

"It's Hopeful Time Again" (v2, 2023)

A new version and arrangement of my earlier song, a.k.a. ”It’s Xmas Time Again”. I experimented with some different chords, inversions, voicings and chord progressions etc. and this is the result!

This was played by me using the Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a master keyboard. The main keyboard sound here is from the Yamaha Montage 8 (the great and ever so lovely Yamaha TX816 Electric piano performance which was converted from the original TX816 patch), layered with Gospel Musicians' Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 (Dyno Rhodes) and Keyscape (Roland MKS-20). Other sounds that I have been privileged to use come mainly from the great UVI SonicPass instrument collection and the Arturia V Collection. The drums come from Native Instruments Abbey Road 80s Drummer. 

Recorded and mixed using Cubase Pro 13. Mixed with Cubase, with some very significant amount of help from iZotope Neutron 4. Mastered with iZotope Ozone 11.

Please take care of yourself and each other and please let us try to treat each other with due dignity and respect in this hopeful time of year.

The debut album from Spectre Horsemen, Pale With Dust.

Deconstruct Or Substructure Interlude

Brutalist 1960s iconic 'streets in the sky' complex - Park Hill Flats gained listed (protected) status and has been (and is still being) renovated (and sold). 
Many memories of the early post-slum clearance days must resonate with its previous residents who were moved out to 
make way for the developers.....

Track details.
Soprano saxophone duet augmented by bass-pedal flute and clarinet, found beats and bass with some electronics, flute and clarinet snippets.

Echoes of Park Hill (QXi)

An upbeat anthem about escaping societal pressures, this fun, rhythmic and playful song is so catchy melody everyone will enjoy.

SWEET ESCAPE

NEW KINGS, NEW QUEENS! (The New Earth) (ft. Finley Thompson)

Live Reflexion#014

Perhaps it was 2007, I started a moleskine as I have done for centuries, but this time without writing any dates, and mostly consisting of drawings. It was the year I first conceived Dream Society, graduated from art school, became self employed, lived in Battersea in a house with green walls, somewhere in a world beyond time and space; spending hours writing the most extravagant colourful websites using only a text editor, creating experimental films in which I cut out each frame by hand, making music with house hold objects and discovering a world of books that opened my mind and being to infinite possibilities, pondering about the nature of reality, consciousness and existence. My pals and I would go to the supermarket at 2:45am; I wrote songs on an old ships piano I had to tune anew every day, and a harmonium in the key of not-quite-Bb. 

Sometimes I had visions, like lucid daydreams, or frames of future memories: I once saw myself in a flowery dressing gown, writing books, in a flat with green walls in Amsterdam.  Another one had me play on Top of the Pops. Now wouldn’t that be funny, I thought. Sometimes a song would appear like that. Like this melody that appeared, and I had to write it down, and it never became a song, just a small mantra that kept popping up, sometimes, especially at times when becoming aware of my supreme impatience; a wanting of it All, Now! 

Yet when I create, I am patient, there is -only- Now. 

Many years later, in Amsterdam, not yet with green walls but in a colourful flat on my favourite canal, I started playing around with some homemade sounds, a harmonium, some birds, and then pressed record as I sang into the mic and words and melodies flowed freely, and there it was, this melody that time travelled and brought the rest of its song along, because sometimes this is how it goes, and time folds, and everything is different and yet in essence, so very much the same; falling awake from the illusion of time and space and separation, and there is only Now, and Now, and Now, in tune and in sync with the divine perfection of life.

-------
Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle

Arrows flutter in the skies
And hollow holy earth,
The under breath of wanting to believe
And the slightest lion eyes
Behold
And the crowd is going mad
Cause they want us to glorify
And the flowers glow
Sleepless nights

Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle

Round & round rivers,
And on the boat we rock
Back and forth
The lion sleeps and slides
Sleep and find me home

Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle
Be patient, love will come
Be well patient

🎃 It's time to Spook 👻

🦇 The Spooky month is here! And we are very excited 🙃 Halloween is our favourite Holiday, so it seemed only fitting that we release some songs to mark the occasion - so we wrote a whole new album "Happy Halloween" coming out on...well, Halloween!

💙 That said though, we wanted to announce it at the start of the month 📆 using this sneaky wee single - that's also 🪄 A SPELL 🧝‍♂️ "Toogras" is an old Swedish spell to find your true love, or generally invite goodness into your life. Simply write "Toogras" on your hand before dawn...and see what happens! 🫢

The second track "游魂野鬼" (Wandering Ghost) gives you a step into the Spooky month, and hints to our latest album 'Happy Halloween', releasing on...Halloween!

Toogras

Thank you for listening. 
I think I've created a playful yet calming song.
I would be happy if you would rate it.

Waves of the Ocean

the tribe is waiting for the return of Otumbo ;)

check out part I and II

Waitin' for Otumbo - Part III

Recorded on my phone.

I wasn't happy with the mix on 'InterPrise Technologies 01' so I tried again. I also didn't resample the audio at 44.1khz this time so the audio isn't slowed down and repitched.

The trio. 

This is a song I wrote on a whim. I was searching for a song that was easy to play so I can sing at the same time. I didn't even hit the first note on beat, though, proving that I truly am the Naïve Composer. I also sang the lyrics out of order the second time. D'oh!

Lyrics:

Sex Queen online.
Think I've lost my mind.
God, she's so fine.
Must be a sign (yeah).

Hedges - Bass and Additional Voices.
Norsa - Guitar and Vocals.
Willy - Drums.

InterPrise Technologies 02

This is a song about protecting individuals from ICE


IF YOU COME FOR MY FRIENDS 

If you come for my friends 
You come for me
And when you come for me
Im going to be, a problem

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

If you come for my friends
I’m the brick wall
And this brick wall 
Doesn’t fall, so easily 

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

I’ll treat a stranger 
like they’er my best fiend
Because we all became united 
When your war began

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 

We are ready
Ready to stand

You’ll light the world on fire
And you’ll burn too
But we've been burning for longer
So we know what to do

Don’t do something you’ll regret 
Don’t do something you’ll regret 


If You Come For MY Friends
