don't look at me

Oblique Occasions - Experimental Beat

Demo for weekly songwriter exercise, week 2.  

I watch the people walk outside
Heading to their everyday places
So maybe its right
to fight or give flight
and find out who the rat in the race is

I used to want to get to the top
At least for a year or two
But its always the ones
When races are done
Holding all the red and blues

and who are you now
that theyve sanded the edges
Mowed you like lawns
and trimmed you like hedges
and waist deep in paperwork
and email messages
all of the way to the top, maybe

you should take a walk outside
find out why your so compelled
is it something you learned
or something you yearn
cuz you just not enough as yourself

cuz what are you now
that theyve sanded the edges
Mowed you like lawns
and trimmed you like hedges
and waist deep in paperwork
and email messages
all of the way to the top, maybe

The Rat Race (SONG CLUB 02) "Waist Deep"

Art Of Beatz Mix  March 15, 2024

 [[tapedel] played & programmed customised Yamaha Disklavier Pro, Recorded To Nagra IVS 5"]

avril 14th, notes played backwards, not the audio.

Heavily inspired by the writings of Raymond Carver, “Twelve Rooms” is essentially twelve different stories — some fiction, some not — written with an insightful observance and quiet desperation. Palaxy Tracks’ distinctively subtle compositions perfectly convey a sense of loss and longing, evoking images of specters and spectators, murders and memories, empty rooms and endless open roads. Mood is carefully established and embellished with touches of mellotron, horns, hammond organ, pump organ and other finishing flourishes.

“Twelve Rooms” shows a band that has progressed gracefully over the course of three records, growing ever more evocative and sweetly heartbreaking with each respective release to build twelve rooms of swooning, bittersweet perfection.

Release Date:  May 31, 2005

Context:

Asleep, dreaming, on a wintry night in 2011, bundled up in the bed of my Brooklyn apartment.

That's when and where I made this song. I remembered the soundtrack to my dream so vividly that when I woke up in the middle of the night, I got out of bed to recreate what was to become the beginnings of "Carlin Dream." It makes me wonder what buried corner of consciousness that melody came from, and why these sort of things come to people while they sleep. This isn't the first time I've dreamed of a melody and turned it into a song later.  I guess it's not totally crazy that we can dream music though: where do melodies come from while we're awake anyway? I'd bet it's the same place. 

As for this piece, I recently stumbled across the original music files and decided to build on that 3am stream of consciousness to finish it here, one year later.
