#1 iTunes Classical Album (US).

Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction. Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting. "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price. Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

Erased Tapes artists and friends Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm have separately carved out a musical career that defies genres both with their unique live shows and a loyal fan base that’s always eager to hear what their prolific output will bring. 

Their latest collaborative 2-track release ‘Life Story Love and Glory’ is a live improv affair on two pianos, recorded in 2012 at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin. Fans may wonder why they have waited until 2015 to release these tracks, but having revealed a new website www.arnaldsfrahm.com you may think this may not be the end to their musical story this year. 

“We would meet in Reykjavik or Berlin with the intention to share some days off work, hiking, swimming or eating pizza. That is great for a couple days, but after a while we would always end up back in the studio, fiddling with synths or pianos.” – Nils Frahm 
“You can hear in the beginning of ‘Life Story’ how I have already started playing the piano whilst Nils is still moving microphones around and preparing everything. It was all kept in!“ – Ólafur Arnalds 

‘Life Story Love and Glory’ will be released as a 7” on Erased Tapes – exclusively through record stores only on August 21, 2015 ahead of its digital release later on – as an ode to this classic and beloved format.

Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm – Life Story

Written by Bryde 

You pinch your cheeks, bring back the colour
some winter sun could make a world of difference
But you belong here
Wed to a time zone
of draughty hearts
of stoic arts and crafts 

Try to be brave, make it go away
leave the light on sometimes all night
and carry on regardless 
so you wont get swallowed up by the darkness
try to be brave, don’t give the game the away
You're a strong one, just carry on and
No one needs to notice
that there’s only silence holding this

Always prepared to make excuses
To go along, to nod in firm agreement 
But there's no rest on shaky ground, 
And we are guilty of looking down 
Careless creatures trying to save face

These are the screen shots
This is the version we live
To keep on smiling
To strain it all through a sieve 
When you’ve got nothing, when you’ve got nothing to give
Turn up the filter and don’t admit it.

Peace

Cloudless sky
Midway where the swallows
Occupy
I just want to shade your eyes 
from the low light
I just want to be your shirt 
always stop at waist height

Twist me like a bottle and 
Open up
I never know when to just shut up
I just want to make you shiver on a hot day
I just want to be the goosebumps on your rib cage

Cos living rooms 
Without you
Grind their teeth and scream about the silence
I cut my hair
Waste my time
Read out loud 
And argue with the sunset
Cos I don’t want to be your moon

Sorbet days
Fizzing on my tongue the flavour stays
Long after you’re gone 
my head is thick with a new haze
Somewhere maybe you can hide out on the 

Staring face to face 
until someone looks away
We are stranger to ourselves 
than to anybody else
And I’ll leave it in your hands 
like its something you could stand
like you’re someone who’ll fight for me 
Like I’m fighting for myself

KYOTI - Restart The World | Kitsuné Musique

"Phantom Studies" is VARLEY's newest release. With influences ranging from London Grammer and Banks to Bon Iver and John Mayer, "Phantom Studies" is a blissed-out lament reminiscent of Portishead crossed with Chvrches. The track sounds, as the lyrics say, like they’ve been taking classes in Phantom Studies.  

The track is released through Seahorse Music. The whole EP will be out on May 24th.

Silent All These Years

Stranger to ourselves than to anybody else.

Going to watch one or two episodes of LOST then I'm going to sleep.
No more of this Beatbox..... the impurities in the alcohol are really not worth the pleasure of drinking.

Love you Annie.

Tomorrow I gotta go to the bank to deposit my money,
around 3, 3:30, I'm going to Confession.
Also am ordering stuff for my motorcycle;
really important, I need a tire inflator, chain lubrication, and
I think that's it for now.

I'll worry in the future about how I should store my bike in the extreme cold-weather/snow.

I don't think I'm going to spend money to have it stored at the dealership, it's just too much money plus time and energy to go back and forth there.

Anyways.
After Wednesday class, I went to Giant,
I bought some Hard Tea and Hard Juice, called Beatbox.

I drank on that Wednesday night.....
which led me to call-out on Thursday (though, I really needed a day off from all this work stress I've been talking to you about).
I got my sick-form signed and turned in today.

I bought three Beatbox's on Wednesday and had one before class.

This is making me appreciate more expensive spirits and liquor because I am making a conjecture of the type of alcohol that was used to make this hard tea/hard juice.

The price vs. the impurities in the alcohol.

I have a headache which I assume is from the impurities.

I'd rather drink liquor and I appreciate it much more now.

I don't really like beer anymore.

I've become fancy.
😭

As much as the initial start is faster,
the come down, after effects of a Beatbox justifies its price-point,

inexpensive.

I just wanna stick with my Hennessy VSOP.
I'm ghetto, I drink Hennessy.
That classic/classy ghetto.

This is my conjecture:
- He is an immigrant turned US Citizen
- He understands College isn't free for some and classes (ultimately, credits) cost money
- Sympathizes with other immigrants who take his class (or those who are studying abroad and don't have as much fiscal resource)
- Makes his class easy and very forgiving

that's my conclusion, and that vastly and by far, outweighs my complaints.

It's okay.

As much as this may seem contradicting and very counter-intuitive.
I don't want to say this

this class is an easy "A",
he even mentioned during the quiz,
very indirectly to "google" your answers, but to show your work.

It's been a while since I actually wanted to learn
I don't want an easy "A"

😭😭😭

I have high confidence that you'd say something to me along the lines of

"You're okay baby"
"When you have your major-specific classes, make sure you study extra hard"
‎

We had a quiz
😤

it was open book.
I used my notes.

There were some things we didn't even cover.......

It's my ZOOM class,
so.....


it's very difficult to learn from him,
he won't use the assigned textbook which we didn't receive,
and teaches from a website

the syllabus is loosely structured, but it doesn't really give us anything concrete.

I think that's why it was "open-book".

To make up for the way the class is being taught.

This worries me a bit because I am majoring in Cybersecurity,
I WANT to know these concepts but it's kinda hard learning these concepts from him without any direction as to where we're headed.


BUT I know he's doing his best.
AND maybe I'm just overthinking what I expect myself I should know by next semester.

I have to remind myself that he is teaching A BASIC AND GENERAL OVERVIEW and nothing specific is what I should be expected to remember.
