I'm Lying on Your Shoulder

A tune composed from Mikis Theodorakis, a great Greek composer, that accompanied me, in life.

Music: Mikis Theodorakis
Lyrics: Giannis Theodorakis

--------------------------------------------------
Μενεξεδένια ήταν τα βουνά
μενεξεδένια τα φιλιά
μενεξεδένια ήταν τα μάτια σου
κατάμαυρη είναι η μοναξιά.

Το τρένο αυτό που σε ξερίζωσε
μου σκίζει πάντα την καρδιά
το σφύριγμά του είναι για μέ λυγμός
το πέρασμά του είναι καημός.

Ήμουν για σένα ο διαβάτης που περνά
ήσουν για μένα το νερό και η φωτιά.

Σε κράτησα μέσα στα χέρια μου
σα νά ‘σουνα μικρό πουλί
με την αυγή γλυκοκελάηδησες
το δειλινό είχες χαθεί.

Κι εγώ στα δάση τώρα τριγυρνώ
μετρώ τα κίτρινα κλαδιά
μετρώ τα φύλλα που ξεράθηκαν
την άμετρη μετρώ ερημιά.

-
Violet were the mountains
violet the kisses
violet your eyes
deep black the loneliness

This train that uprooted you
endlessly tears at my heart
its whistle a sob
its departure sorrow

For you I was a passing stranger
for me you were water and fire

I held you in my arms
as if you were a small bird
with the dawn you sang sweetly
by dusk you were gone

And now I wander the forests
counting the yellow boughs
counting the dried leaves
counting the endless desert

-
Violett waren die Berge
violett die Küsse
violett waren deine Augen
ganz weiß ist die Einsamkeit.

Dieser Zug, der dich entwurzelt hat
zerreißt mir total das Herz
sein Pfiff ist für mich ein Schluchzer
seine Abfahrt bedeutet Kummer.

Ich war für dich der Passant, der vorüberging
du warst für mich Wasser und Feuer.

Ich hielt dich in meinen Händen
als wärst du ein kleiner Vogel
in der Morgendämmerung hast du ganz süß gesungen
in der Abenddämerung warst du weg.

Und ich treibe mich jetzt in den Wäldern herum
zähle die gelben Zweige
zähle die vertrockneten Blätter
ermesse die unendliche Wüste.
-
Fioletowe były góry,
fioletowe pocałunki.
Fioletowe były twoje oczy.
Całkiem czarna jest samotność.

Ten pociąg, który wyrwał cię,
rozrywa mi zawsze Serce.
Jego gwizd jest dla mnie szlochem.
Jego odejście jest smutkiem.

Byłam dla ciebie przechodniem, który mija.
Byłeś dla mnie wodą i ogniem.

Trzymałam cię w moich rękach,
jak byłbyś małym ptakiem.
O świcie słodko zaśpiewałeś,
o zmierzchu zniknąłeś.

A ja włóczę się teraz po lasach.
Zliczam żółte gałęzie.
Zliczam uschnięte liście.
Odmierzam niezmierzoną pustkę.

this is a first go at using monome_sum with a variable brightness 128. thought i'd record the results and share the amazing possibilities of this soon to be released software. i'm basically able to switch between simplified versions of flin, polygome, mlr, corners, and step. sounds are created using only the built in synthesizer and provided samples. my mind is a little blown. 

perhaps something more refined in the coming days, but for now...

After 2016’s well-received EP,  'I Could See The Smoke', experimental guitarist Andy Cartwright (aka Seabuckthorn) returns with his new full-length album 'Turns', releasing April 21st on vinyl, CD and digital with Lost Tribe Sound.  Cartwright immediately caught our attention with his commanding full-length album 'They Haunted Most Thickly' in 2015. With 'Turns', Cartwright further solidifies his anomalous position within the genres solo guitar music, American primitive, and modern classical. 

The vinyl and CD edition arrive in the ever stunning physically and sonically minded fashion that LTS has become known for. 'Turns' takes form with a lush 180 gram audiophile grade vinyl housed in a heavyweight reverse printed jacket (limited to 500). The lacquer process vinyl edition was masterfully cut by Paul Gold at Salt Mastering in NY. Each edition comes with a Bandcamp download coupon. Plus, 'Turns' introduces a new handcrafted panoramic CD design (limited to 150 editions). 

'Turns' is an album wrought with vertical forms, heavily cinematic in design and scope.  It’s an album built from the earth. With eyes closed, one can easily imagine heavy rusted spires rising and collapsing upon themselves, only to be rebuilt from the rubble in the same instant, ever clawing towards the sky, with the rumblings of massive tectonic plates shifting below.  That said, 'Turns' is far more of a cerebral experience than its predecessors. transitioning seamlessly between hypnotic long-form pieces, minimal harp-like ballads and the primal stomping world-builders that have become Seabuckthorn’s calling card. 

Cartwright wields his minimal, yet powerful arsenal in new and intriguing ways throughout 'Turns', comprised of various twelve string guitars, a well worn resonator guitar and heavy waves of lumbering percussion. Plus, for the first time ever, Cartwright invites an outside player, composer and fellow friend of rustic orchestration, William Ryan Fritch to play double bass on three of the songs. In addition, LTS is honored to have worked with visual artist Gregory Euclide (Bon Iver, Lubomyr Melnyk) on the incredible original cover artwork for 'Turns', and sound engineer James Plotkin who handled the mastering.

If one is searching for a beacon of light in Lost Tribe Sound’s undeniably dark roster of releases this year, look no further.  The Green Kingdom’s new full-length album ’The North Wind and the Sun’ is like a cool breeze on a heated summer day.  Perhaps music this gentle feels out of place, even glutinous, given the currently harsh climate of the world, yet the truth may be that we need it now more than ever.  Music like this offers an opportunity to pause, to regain our center, to shift focus towards bettering our surroundings versus cursing them.

Of course, here at headquarters we pondered what would happen if Cottone abandoned the majority of his electronic equipment and limited his arsenal to nearly all acoustic instrumentation? It’s a similar question to the one we proposed to Cock & Swan back in the day, with their exceptional album ‘Stash’. Asking Cottone kindly, he obliged. After a number of months of trial and error TGK delivered us this experiment, titled 'The North Wind and The Sun.' We were floored, not only is the music still undeniably that of The Green Kingdom, it seems to exude a new sense of wonder and confidence. 

'The North Wind and the Sun' is the aural equivalent of the fondest, hazy memories gleamed from childhood days past. The melodies are playful and comforting like womb-filtered lullabies. While this new delivery may shock some familiar with TGK’s previous outings, Cottone seems quite comfortable with this new primarily acoustic set of sounds, inventing his own heart-warming brand of Americana. 

That said, the music pays respects to its roots, no doubt recalling the more pastoral, primitive works of William Ryan Fritch and Western Skies Motel, the woozy mechanically-inclined folk of Boards of Canada or Part Timer, the bright, sincere melodies of Amiina or mbira virtuoso Richard Crandell. Throughout the thirteen song album, 'The North Wind and the Sun,' The Green Kingdom gives us a very intimate look behind the curtain, one brimming with personality, a tender collection of homespun reveries one can tell has been building in Cottone’s mind for years. This is a rare and sublime new direction for TGK, one we hope he continues to develop upon for years to come.
