Anton's Summer [Demo]

Too lazy to speak or think 
I froze myself, try to be someone else 
But now, now and then 
I pretend I'm sure who I am 

Just get stuck 
I am glued so tight 

But it's so wrong and it still feels right 
You never know how it's going to turn out 
For a long time mess gets frozen in 
Takes your shape and dissolves in 

So, tell me 
What's their plan 
Where I stand 
Just to sit here 
Waste my hands 
Buckle down 
Suck it in 
Freete the blood 
Peel the skin 
I can feel it 
From within 

Just get stuck 
I am glued so tight 

But it's so wrong and it still feels right 
You never know how it's going to turn out 
For a long time mess gets frozen in 
Takes your shape and dissolves in

Someone Else

Dame Nellie Melba’s early recording of 'Chant Vénitien’, a song composed by Herman Bemberg, who accompanies her in this recording. It was made for the Gramophone Company in London on 20 October 1904.
NFSA title: 301462
The recording process at that time was quite simple. The musicians stood in front of a horn which was mechanically connected to a needle which cut a spiral groove in a wax blank. From the wax master more copies could be made which could then be used to press numerous discs for sale. Recording through a horn in this direct, mechanical way was limited in both the frequency and dynamic range recorded onto the disc. Melba’s voice had a tonal quality which was well suited to the medium and this was one of the reasons for her immediate recording success.

These were the very early days of the record industry, with cylinders and discs fighting it out for market dominance. Having a star such as Melba recording for them was a great advantage for the Gramophone Company. The recordings that she and Enrico Caruso made in these early days did much to convince the general public that recorded music was the home entertainment medium of the future. The records paved the way for the recording industry to follow.

BRAIN SURGERY

Inspired by the work of Yves Klein


Facing this subtle plane of vastness
Compared to one flare
Vanishing autumn suns
Do not count out here

A thousand crowded streets awaiting
For my soft heels to strike
No opening to cut through
I just wait in spite

What if I just stood apart
And let them all pass by
Would I be left behind
A voiceless Good-Bye?

Drifting steadily facing backwards
My ears are beneath
The soothing ocean’s surface (waves)
But still I can breath

Softly linen sleeping landscapes
Retrieve me at last
While the timbre line below us
Belongs to the past

Foggy silhouette of a hilltop
Trees are barely showing through
In the distance between you and me
A curly plane of naval blue

Until at last a sense of sunlight
Seems to appear
Rising up through the mist
Slightly changing its hue

What if I just stood aside
And let it all pass by?
Would I be left behind?
A memory in time?

Behemoth (Live At Abbatiale)- Video Link in description

If you want to bring it down to a common denominator it would be music. The diverse activities of Swiss sound artist Cyrill Lim range from installations in gallery spaces, art and music performances to compositions in the contemporary and experimental music scene, live recordings of classical music or studio pop productions and songwriting.

The latter – being more of a hobby – gained more center stage after the release of his first album "" (untitled, erdkugel recordings 2015), which is physically only available as vinyl. Since digital distribution systems do not allow an untitled work, the album was published digitally in form of two EPs (side A and side B of the vinyl) with the titles "☼" and "☃" .

New releases followed in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 including collaborations with Serbian singer and author Ana Avramov and a remix for the track Heimat (2022, October House Records), recorded by experimental music duo Hyper Duo.

His latest series of songs always consists of pairs. They have the same colour in their artwork and complement each other but are also connected to the last and next pair of songs.

The latest release, Arise (2023, CLS records), the second of the second pair of songs, was just released on July 15th.

Cyrill's songs are best described as melancholic, soft and gentle sounds and melodies that tell of longing and the desire for solitude, usually garnished with a pinch of hope.
