Tokyo Hands - Sonic Identity

the recording of the gravitational waves detected recently (woo!), provided by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), was used in this track.

The sample was mangled/transformed into various instruments, such as the drums heard and some melodic synths. The unchanged recording can also be heard! You're pretty cool, science. :)

From Attraction

We leave the capital behind to take a tour of the Tang Empire’s neighbors, both old and new. A tenuous peace with Tibet leads to a westward push putting the Chinese into contact – and eventual conflict – with the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate. Meanwhile, to the north and east rebellious Khitan tribesmen will spark a huge military buildup in the region under the control of one man, while the former Goguryeo reorganizes itself into the powerful state of Balhae, forcing the Tang Court to re-assess its diplomatic options.

#98 - Tang 16: All Along the Watchtowers

Dezong has had it up to here with his mumbling, bumbling, stumbling courtiers and their inability to solve the empire’s problems.  So he’s going to give them 3 last shots to prove the worth of the bureaucracy, and when they strike out, he’ll turn toward his private inner count to make the Tang Empire great again.

#109 - Tang 22: Innie or Outie?

Follow Down

baby keep a spare strap on your guitar
your gonna have to keep it
when the music bottoms out

you need a pair of running shoes just to meet my heart
cause if you fall down there with me, I ask you forgive me
and run out the dark

cause I can be anxious and I can be shameless
and I can be stupid sometimes
how do you feel about that
could you deal with all that

but I could be sacred and I could be loving
and I could be all of your stars
if you could help me get back
you've been through all that

I ain't through loving the thought of your eyes
I thought of your eyes today 
I ain't through loving the thought of your eyes
I thought of your eyes today
I ain't through loving the thought of your eyes
I thought of your eyes today

and every woman brings something new
a sorry subset of you
as soon as I look straight through I lose another friend
I'd rather stay alone and cry
than sleep with a body tonight
see you in her eyes and watch you go again

It'd mean my whole life if I could just watch you cry
I never knew there was beauty
and how does it lie

It'd make my whole life if you could just watch me die
and you could see me, see me truly
your smile one more time

Cause I was your only and god never told me
that heaven is where I belong
I was your smile at night
the eyes to your light
but we could be holy, and we could be holding
a unity felt on both sides

how do you feel about me now?
don't say my name

I ain't through loving the thought of your eyes
I thought of your eyes today
I ain't through loving the thought of your eyes
I thought of your eyes today
I ain't through loving the thought of your eyes
I thought of your eyes today
