This is another track based on my grandfather's WW2 letters, but this one to his sister-in-law Mildred. I found the change in tone in the early letters to her really intriguing. There’s more bravado and levity from my grandfather, almost like he’s showing off a bit. Then as the years go on, the tone changes and he becomes much more sceptical and pessimistic about the direction the war was going in. He questions the leadership and the morality and whether it’s all really worth it. Throughout the letters is my grandfather's trademark mix of wartime horror tempered with matter of fact detail, which I've tried to recreate through the lyrics. 

I tried to recreate this contrast through the music. With lighter, swaying verses and slightly syncopated vocal phrasing to suggest a bit of swagger, juxtaposed with darker, denser choruses. The beat is direct from my old Casio VL-Tone. This meant I couldn’t midi-sync any arpeggiators or sequencers, so it forced me to come up with a different approach to arranging. It also includes the only library sample on the entire record. A little clip of a marching band that really fitted the mood and lyrical content of the verses.

Lyrics:

A show
Issued gin to make us glow 
Morning comes and we still sing 
Dropped flares, didn’t see a thing

Crawled into bed
Regrets and ‘never again’
Heavy shells and night bombs stop 
Keep entertained until they drop

And in the photograph
There’s one face that will never come back 
So they find things to make us laugh 
Some light entertainment

On his knees
So why would they send us east? 
I need some news that I can trust 
One more front and I’ll be crushed

And in the photograph
There’s one face that will never come back 
So I shaved off my moustache
For rejuvenation

08 - Debris Discs - Letter to Mildred

Creativity is an action. Not a feeling.
"You can find the way forward, a path toward making a difference."
Your choice to put your work, your art out, does make a difference. Even if it takes years for it to hit.
A little mini gem from Seth Godin and a guy I just met: Tyler Ward.

Creativity Is An Action  Not A Feeling

love will tear us apart

Inspired by the roman architect Vitruvius Bastian Heed explores the connection between us and the universe thru his music. The first song, Alamandra 2.0. it's a trip through time, the saxophone is his vehicle of choice into new paths ambiented on purple mountains. On Queen Popp, his second track, he drives with verses into redemption, that's the theme of this vibe, he creates a dangerous character, the Popper Queen, taking sex addiction as her weapon, the song narrates the fight and win over it. The third track its called Remedy, an afrobeat hit, mixing scat singing and trap he tells his love he'll love her even at the darkest times. Green Land is an ode to freedom only possible in Colombia. on the last track We were meant to be he takes his pace to tell us a story about sacrifice and love by mixing jazz, trap and R&B.
