Music That Speaks

Gen-Jun 2023

Ideas For Iteration Two:

Layer improvised polyrhythms underneath the soundscape.
Place large piano chords in during the breaks, light distortion, massive reverb.
Let layers reach a climax and transition into a new part.
Keep the beat prominent, allow the piano/synth layers to clash.
Possibly change tempo and tonic during the transition.
Arpeggiated embelishments in the first section during the breaks.
Allow the soundscape mix to drown out the hi-hats somewhat.
Lower the kick volume.
Make the subtle glitch movements more prominent.
Add slight melodic movement under the initial introduction to make it more interesting.
Add some drops.

My sister and I wrote this rather jazzy track a few moons ago. Was recently remastered by my lovely Sander. We hope you enjoy this instrumental number full of gorgeous strings from my big sister Jane. 😊🎶❤️🎻

I felt like I was a human experiencing the perception of nature, while nature was experiencing the perception of a human.

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?
