A migrant's song... 

Disregard your habitat 
the jungle, the jungle 
You’ll have monkeys on your back 
they follow, they follow 

Can you ever belong 
Where you’re not born 
Where there’s a stranger hidden beneath your tongue? 
Could you ever have known 
Aroma’s haul? 
No air as bitter as the one inside my lungs 

Authenticity’s at stake 
When your conifers are fake 
It is something in my veins 
now without ya, now without ya … 

Can you ever belong 
Where you’re not born 
Where there’s a stranger hidden beneath your tongue? 
Could you ever have known 
Aroma’s haul? 
No air as bitter as the one inside my lungs 

Dress so bright, did you dance all night to forget it? 
But the itches burned and the place was cursed, I get it 
To pay the price of a parasite, you can bet it 
It will make you creep, without remedy 
All you need is home, you need to be home 

Can you ever belong? 
Where you’re not born 
Where there’s a stranger hidden beneath your tongue 
Could you ever have known 
That when it’s gone 
No air is sweeter than the one I breathe at home

Breathe

Produced by Joeri Woudstra & Chagall 

Love lives

No song when the spirit is mute
No tune after breaking in two
Sweet tones I remember not
Love accents are soon forgot

If ever two were one 
The echoes linger on 

It follows, it follows me

For Saar... <3 

REWIRED
Should’ve been a brown eyed girl 
but the colours now sleep 
Should’ve been the next big band
now I’m an older second hand 
only second hand

Your eyes 
Stopped time 
Rewired completely

Messiah of the mind 
I’m coming home for you tonight
I’ve been shuffled by you
Shuffled by you

Thought it was a given thing
That we’d grow old together

Messiah of the mind 
I’m coming home for you tonight
I’ve been shuffled by you
shuffled to dos

Messiah of the mind
I’m coming home for you tonight
I’ve been shuffled by you
Humbled by truth

Rewired

Written & produced by Raven & Chagall
Mixed by Matt Allaby

it’s the confidence you show
it’s the way that you move, it’s the way that you moan
installed the wings under my feet
while we hover over 6th street

the resemblance in our gist
the way that you look, the way you persist
I felt your shock, electric eel
you moonwalked right into my bloodstream

coming down with melancholy
so frustrated, it’s living me
I'm not neglected, just longing to be
to be shaken

did I dream it?
did you dream me?
have I faded
from your memory?

most artificial love I’ve known
family off, family on
now you’re a phantom, you’re a ghost
one I befriended
sucking my blood with silences

resounding my melancholy
fed by aching emojis
I'm not neglected, just longing to be
to be shaken

did I dream it?
did you dream me?
have I faded
from your memory?

your memory... (Dallas is weeping)
washed by the rain (Dallas is weeping)
washes away all that we gave (Dallas is weeping)
faded by the rain (Dallas is weeping)

Peckham is sleeping (did I dream it?)
Peckham is sleeping (did you dream me?)
Dallas is weeping
goddesses heal me....

This is my love song to the women of Blenheim Grove, Peckham, London.

You can watch the live performance here, where I use a motion capture suit to control my ivory avatars and play the intro bass with the movement of my head www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyopDXac_ck&feature=youtu.be


Lyrics
Our windows are broken (onze ramen zijn gebroken)
but we keep our doors carefully locked (potdicht)
I keep to myself, I'm in awe

Stuck in our rut the fury's unspoken (een onbenoemde fury)
I admire in silence, in awe
No patience for love

You're all I see but all you see is ivory
A habit of egg shells
under my feet
All you see is ivory
But that's not the shade of my tower

Joshua:
We waving from a distance yeah
The safety of our warm flats yeah
What's her name what's her face
We could be more than strangers

I keep to myself
I keep to myself
I keep to myself
I keep to myself

You're all I see but all you see is ivory
A habit of egg shells
under my feet
All you see is ivory
But that's not the shade of my tower

Wintana ways
Wintana ways
Effortless sways
Ivory, not here
Ivory's not me

Ivory / Wintana ft. Joshua Idehen

Lyrics by Robert Isaf 

As the world is tumbling and changing, I’ve been finding a lot of solace in my craft. Music keeps me sane(ish) and helps me to make sense of it all(ish). Especially now that I've found my 'Bernie Taupin' (Elton John's life-long lyricist), Robert Isaf. We met 2 years ago in a karaoke bar in Berlin (true story) and he is not only a wonderful human but he turned out to have the most magnificent gift to grasp the emotion in any of my phonetic hums and mumblings and turn them into lyrics that say something I didn't even know I wanted and oftentimes needed to say.

Usually before I release a track, I polish and polish it until every drop of spontaneity is lost before I let you hear it, but as everything in the world is different anyway I’ve decided to start sharing what’s in my head and heart and laptop as I’m making it. Really finishing a track takes me a lot of time and then I have to organise the mix + master + release plan + artwork... I mean, I’m definitely not complaining... I love what I do but it’s a long process and I feel what I’m writing right now is too much a reaction to right now that it would be weird to not share it right now. So over the next few weeks I'm just gonna drop my demos here and there. I hope you can judge them on the sentiment and emotion for now, that's what music was invented for after all! ;)

All proceeds will go to Black Lives Matter charities.

lyrics
The Garden

There’s an asphalt gem in the ring you gave me
The one you found
Plucked from the safe of the emerald ground

You’d break the riverbank down
If you thought diamonds would grow
A broken thing is its own reward though

I hope you know I never thought this wouldn’t be something that went on
When a tree unleaves don’t mean it’s gone I don’t know why you’re so intent on

Rushing into rushing into rushing into turning to stone –
Rushing into rushing into rushing into turning to stone –
Next to me…

There’s a rich old man in a home he’s safe in
He’s got his health –
He doesn’t worry much about much else
You say I’m selfish but well
I’ve just got places to go…

There’s a platinum crack in the plans you’re laying
Like a homespun vault
Strong as stone heart built on an active fault

If I can’t countenance walls
It’s just my wealth is a road
It’s an empty wealth if I go alone though

I wish this weren’t a wish you well an I’ll tell you so when time will tell
When I leave won’t mean I’m leaving you but you’ll have to live with yourself while you’re

Rushing into rushing into rushing into turning to stone…
Rushing into rushing into rushing into turning to stone…
Without me…

I know a garden where the dust doesn’t blow;
I’ll be there waiting for the tulips to close.
I’ll be there waiting for the ivy to go gold
And you to be there and hold me.

The Garden (demo)

Singer/producer/computer nerd Chagall pushes the boundaries with tech-heavy live shows that add a captivating physicality and human intimacy to electronic music. Her upcoming album ‘Unlocked’ brings together 80s synth pop, alt-R&B and swelling basses in a digital yet poetic dream world. At ESNS she will showcase the new tracks in her recently developed immersive light-art installation dubbed B.A.B.Y. (Bionic Assistant for Becoming Yourself) that she controls with live body and hand movements through motion capture technology.
