2 years ago @j-tames and I reunited again to make some shit while I was visiting him in Austin, TX. We used Vitamin C by Can as the backbone sample of the beat, and experimented with a microKorg's vocoder to add synth layers to it. 

I've had it 90% finished since then, but just recently decided to polish it up / finally upload something to my soundcloud after 4 years of inactivity.

also... can we talk about how garbage soundcloud has become? no way I'm paying 15/month for "Pro", and they've since limited the upload time for free accounts again. bummer.

Finally got around to mastering each of these as instrumental tracks..

7:4 Intro

How Life Goes - Instrumental

Inspired by my favorite organ & its known capabilities, I set out to make an experimental/instrumental expression of a few fascinating phenomena that take place inside the brain. Headphones recommended.

Influences Include: Bonobo, Flume, Trap Music, Phantogram, Shigeto, MuteMath, etc.

Special thanks to soundcloud.com/frequensalad for the mastering work, soundcloud.com/yumamorris for the collab work with PTSD, & soundcloud.com/jefgibbons for the composition consulting on Neurogenesis.

Sleep Paralysis

PTSD

Neurogenesis

Created in less than a week in a basement in Geneva, as per tradition, released on @J-Tames birthday. Created from samples of traditional Japanese Koto music, infused with acoustic drums, electric bass, and miscellaneous samples.

Lyrics:

Less cruise, less fool, less blues 
Yes booth, yes booms, yes tunes 
Let's do, let's move, let's duel 
Against you, you useless ruse 
Spend too much time and attention on you 
Always in my mind, the Rock in my shoe 
Killing my stride, the force of my boots 
Making me blind, focused on you 
Slashing the dream with a swing of the sword of the samurai, katana strike 
About to jump off the tracks as high as the Maasai tribe, time to stop this ride 
Then I think fuck that, write a rap, make a track 
And then go see how his ass reacts 
Can't find you, your a fact of the past 
With flow you go from solid to gas, marble to glass, full throttle to lag, from rubble to sand
Breaking down foundations of self hating, medication is to rap

[Hook]
Joust with the doubt 
Swing hit the ground
Fist to the mouth
Swing take him out 
Swing yelling loud 
Wind or without 
Clearing out the cloud of doubt 

Standing in the rain all victorious 
Blade by my side now I know what glory is 
Look at doubt laying face down on the ground, so notorious 
With each swing of the pen I felt what his story is, storing this 
Now he's gone, may this song live long 
Stay on the ground as it turns into swamp 
My blade evolves from metal to bronze 
Level up for defeating the cause 
Of being on the right path but feeling lost, trekking in the dark in a mountainous frost
Now I know that this way's risky 
It's got ghouls, got lures, got thieves 
Attacking in sleep, killing while in my dream, who creeps? 
Doubts back for me

[Hook]

Can't risk it, how did I miss it? 
Was it a miss-hit? 
Gotta visit the one with wisdom 
Thousands of stairs to state my visions 
To the one with white hair I say, doubt has risen 
After a duel after I killed him
How is this possible? what am I missing? 
Made it my mission to cease his existence. 

Listen one with ambition 
Wishing death to a feeling 
That stays in you 'til building 
'Nough strength to kill your wishes 
A manifestation of what troubles you 
learning to embrace it is what you must do 
So just go and face it and scream a "fuck you!"
