Stryker

I've been away for a while haven't I?Working hard on my debut album! With only a few tracks left to finish, which should hopefully take no more than 2 months or so, I thought I'd let everyone get a first (well second) look at what I've been cooking up.

This track is all about the day to day struggle of living with mental and physical health problems. The abject terror of waking up each day in a vessel that seems to hate your existance. But even in darkness, there's light if you look. Listen to the album for a journey from a dark pit of depression and anguish to a hopeful future.

The Moon In the Window releasing...at some point! I'll update this description when I have a date. It'll be free to stream on here and avaliable for purchase on Bandcamp for just £1 (like, $1.20?) and I'll post the link along with another track when it releases.

Hope you enjoy and hope you are interested in the album! Have a great day.

Rotting Flesh Prison

System 10 through 6(beyond repair)

7 o'clock in the morning with an ocean of tears
we should have been pretty, but reality mourned
shadows growing on the back of the door

Words hurled like daggers projecting fears
shredding eachother into million pieces
Scars of misunderstanding formed

A silent tension camouflaged a deadly minefield
Polluting our judgements of right and wrong
even the time feared to move along

still 7 o'clock hope fled the dreaded battlefield
we're craving for love, but affection is gone
we're stuck in this place for far too long

so what's the point of our constant fight
we got burned so many times
so much pressure, so much anger
we shouldn't be allowed
so farewell to the love we knew,
And the time has come to face our crimes
let me fade away
let me be another face in the crowd

severly damaged, i need a place to retreat
searching for silence to ease and calm down
figuring out why my mind has doubts

strong fears and worries of being incomplete
are drowning my soul in a sea of sadness
but is our love worth so many downs

finally found the strength to mend my heart's mistake
I broke the chain that kept my mind in minor
putting my scattered pieces back together

draining my sea of sadness before it's too late
having loved, but now we're done
it's okay to let go of each other

so what's the point of our constant fight
we got burned so many times
so much pressure, so much anger
we shouldn't be allowed
so farewell to the love we knew,
And the time has come to face our crimes
let me fade away
let me be another face in the crowd

Guajira en el río va de la búsqueda de colores y alegría en las raíces cubanas. Va de la búsqueda más hacia dentro que hacia afuera. Va de las ganas de quedarse y no de irse. Va de una guajira mojada y floreciendo en el río.

BIO: Adrian Aguiar es un joven guitarrista cubano con influencias del jazz, la música clásica, bossa nova y géneros de la música cubana y latina. Comenzó sus estudios de violonchelo en el Conservatorio Alejandro García Caturla a los 8 años hasta que descubrió su pasión por la guitarra 5 cinco años más tarde. Se graduó de la Escuela Nacional de Música en 2019 y obtuvo plaza para ingresar al Instituto Superior de las Artes (ISA), pero decidió no entrar para dedicarse por entero a encontrarse musicalmente, seguir los caminos del jazz y crear sus propias composiciones y arreglos. Desde entonces ha participado en eventos como el festival Jazz Plaza y ha tocado con muchos músicos de su país como Dayron Ortiz, Emilio Martiní, Camila Guevara, Frank Fonte, Richard Fando, Jonathan Formell, Tobías Alfonso, Julito Padrón, Dayron Ortiz entre otros.

Begging for Peace

Prod.InBloom "Pretend"

Deep in the night
They stand up to fight
An unwinnable battle
To loose their life

Millions of mothers
Cry for their sons
Thausends of families
Grieve for someone

Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future
Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future

Deep in the night
They wake up to fall
With a cry of pain
To loose their life

Millions of mothers
Cry for their sons
Thausends of families
Grieve for someone

Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future
Tell me why
A man leaves his wife
Generations loose their future

Tell me why

David J. Kemper is a composer & producer from Chicago, Illinois, city of big shoulders, (former) hog butcher to the world, and home of Nelson Algren, Carl Sandburg, John Dillinger and Al Capone.  It has been speculated (by Mr. Kemper) that the gritty, rough and tumble energy of the streets from whence he hails has given extra bite and backbone to the sounds that he comes up with.  It is a theory, anyway.  Don’t think.  Just listen.  

The music featured here is but a modest selection from the ever-growing DJK repertoire, solo releases (Wet Work), as well as his "other" band/project/whatever, Brahms' 3rd Racket.
