Now on their third year of forward thinking, Blu Saphir Recordings continues to expand the boundaries and change what is acceptable in the sub-genre of melodic drum & bass. The past years have spawned tech-driven basslines and slammin’ beats while being accompanied by an extremely rich atmosphere, surely turning heads from all genres amongst the inhabitants of our planet. Rio De Janeiro’s Cybass shows us many different textures in these two selections – vocals by both sexes and varied hardness. If you like soul, this is one you’ve gotta have!

A. Cybass – Floating Dreams
B. Cybass feat. Annette – Déjà vu

Floating Dreams:
Digital Blus 004:

Floating Dreams brings together the old vibes of jazzstep with the modern marvels of liquid engineering. Melodic keys bring in the intro alongside a half-time feel while aa male vocalist wails it out on the mic. The feel eventually breaks, speeding up the tempo and spitting the elements straight to the dancefloor – a wonderful start to a long relationship under the gemstone.

Vocals & Lyrics by Curioustín. I'm very happy with her contribution to this track. It really bought it to life, and helped set the project's tone and direction.

They were based on this inspiration:
For inspiration, at the moment I feel like we're living in a strange era, where the internet has really bought people together, but also wedged people apart. I think technology is great but the way we use it can be bad. I also feel we're becoming more aware of ourselves and each other, and we're trying to find a way to accept the world as a single place. I think the next 20-50 years will be a really interesting time as we figure it out. It feels like there's some deep truth we're all missing, but secretly searching for, and I don't know if we'll ever find it

Lyrics:
Take a step back, what are you percieving?
Be a fly on invisible boarders
What are you seeing, hearing and feeling?
Look through the crack, what are you believing
Are you believing
Are you believing
Are you believing
Today the 1s and 0s
Can only bring us so close
The magician looks at you smiling, raising, one of his eyebrows
You see the sea of there seen
And for our eyes connect
Take a step back, what are you percieving?
Be a fly on invisible boarders
What are you seeing, hearing and feeling?
Look through the crack, what are you believing
Are you believing
The red carpet is removed
You see the sea of there seen
Then for our eyes connect
Still raised is one of his brows and he says
Just let go
It's all about what you choose
Go with the flow
Everything to give and nothing to lose
Today the 1s and 0s
Can only bring us so close
The magician looks at you smiling, raising, one of his eyebrows
Everything and nothing to lose
Destructive forces of our, peaceful piece of plastic
Revealing what must be true, not another magic trick

PREPARE YOUR LISTENINGEXPERIENCE:

– Make sure you can see the albumcover for 10 minutes, (turn off or extend the screensaver if it's activated).
• Put on your best pair of headphones, or place yourself in the "sweetspot" of your speakers.

PRESS PLAY. LISTEN WITHOUT LISTENING.

• After the playthrough, take a moment to reflect on what you are feeling now comapared to before. Write something down if you feel like it.

• Optionally: do another listeningsession with this new knowledge in mind.

Bioluminescence, the ability of a living organism to produce and emit light. Angler fish, fireflies, some types of jellyfish... The list goes on.

In this case it's a metaphor: I'm sharing with you my own, newly discovered bioluminescence, "the way" out of the darkness of my labyrinthian mind. Or rather, a way to live in some kind of harmony with my darker self.
Present is the essence of the yin yang-symbol from the Taoist philosophy, a way to remind myself that life is a balancing act, and also that there is light in the darkness if one only lets it shine through, if one lets go of all the mental obstacles.

Realize that the maze in your mind is «the Way», that no direction is more right or more wrong than another, that you are a unique creature too, just like everyone else.

Enjoy all the small moments in life. Make the best out of it, and don't be controlled by fear. We're all terrified to be alive, to be conscious, to be, but we are, and we create. Our two primary drive forces in life is to take care of ourselves, and take care of our species. In other words, eat, sleep and fuck. We reproduce = we create. Do your thing your way. Treat every "rule" in life as guidelines, but make up your own mind. Experiment. Be curious. 
   We are creations, creatures born (to be) creators.

_Gratitude Section_

• A thousand thanks to Daniel Lindestad for exploring Amsterdam with me.
• A thousand thanks to Berlin, my flatmates in Moabit, and that late evening I watched a documentary on YouTube about Bioluminescense which sparked this project, literally. ;)
• A thousand thanks to the Universe, to Tao, «the Way», or whatever force or anti-force pulling or pushing us through time and space.

Bioluminescent

This was the sound for an art installation me and two of my class mates in the "folkehøgskule" did. There were dancers, all dressed in black, and each one had a movement that reflected one of the moments in the audio track. The audience were free to walk around in the room. The setup was 4.0, one speaker in each corner, and I used Touchable to control the panning and volume of certain sounds. In other words, this was fun! :D <3

Øyeblikk

My First Instrumental. A sunset next to a lake. The fog slowly drifts into the field and carries on its back, the sound that I will drift upon as well.
