beauty like this is why we live and die; at least how i do

غناء: ندى الشاذلي
كلمات، ألحان، توزيع، انتاج: الراس
الرصاص الحي: مقاتلو طرابلس

أغمد سيوفك ما بهذه الأرض حق
أغمض عيونك عن عيونك واستفق
كل هذا الشعر في الأصل لثام
صلب ألباب العرب، لا يلين لا يرق

استرح من ضباب لا تنتهي فصوله
من ذباب جائع من حلم مأكوله

مقل مدورة في جيف مسمرة
بين جحيم مفتوح وجنة مسورة

لاحقين بقيصر وصاحبي لم يبك
تعودنا الميسر
عظامنا أطلالنا فحتمنا أن تكسر
العظام من بنياننا، أن نخسر
فألنا في شامنا، يميننا في ميسرة
أفعالنا مصفرة، في اليد صرت خنصراً
فكن نصف نبي في غاره تدثرا
وما سرى في فتحه منتصرا

سيوفي غيث تغمده الغمام
عيوني اثنان يمان وشام
سمعت شمالي الآن استقبل يميني
سأزرع الغار من ورود النار
وأخلع الدثار فالشوك يقيني
والشك يقيني من حبري الكرّار
يذود عن زرعي بباب الغار أسدُ
وترسم الخيال خيول الشعر تعدو
وتحمل المياه طيور الشوق تشدو
شوقي لله كسر، جبريل ما جبر
مع العسر يسر في قلب من صبر
عصر الصحراء هذا، طوفان رمال

خذ من الصحراء شيئاً من همم
كن صرخة الصوفي في وجه العدم
جدد على شكل الصبابة عهدنا لله، أو بالله
لله در العقل ما أغناه، ما أهناه غير الآه
رباه هذا الفتى اضناه بين القاف والهاء اقتتال
لا قابيل، لا هابيل عبادتي الإقبال
قرباني الأفكار، مسقية بقبلة القلوب في الأذكار
إنكار لخدعة الدستار،
 طوبى عراة الرأس فالدستور
أن تعتنق أقوالنا الهوى، ويقتنع هوانا
برقصة السؤال في الأقوال
لا أقسم بمواقع النجوم
إن ترسم الدوائر حول قبلة تدور
تصير،
سلالم الجينات حمضاً في النواة
يذوب المعارض، ثائرٌ يحوله
فلا تقل تشوه بل سمه اختبارا
بالحب يتفوه
فإن غدا بقاؤه احتمالا
في الغاب جال
دون أن يموت،
دون أن يضيع في زرقة الفيروز، وحمرة الياقوت
صار للعقول والقلوب قوت
موسعاً مساحة الناسوت

Subject to Drift has been recorded in October 2015 with a Roland TB303 and a TR606 running through a computer programmed with algorithms for digital signal processing. Like a prism breaking up the light into its spectral components, the computer based processing dissects the sound of the Roland boxes enhancing a higher resolution insight into the sound matter. By processing the TB303 and TR606 through many layers of delay lines is indeed possible to explore polyrhythms, therefore unfolding the spectral complexity wrapped in a single pattern and addressing the listener perspective towards the microscopic details of the sound spectrum. 

The TB303 is one of the most influential and iconic musical instruments of the last 30 years, having played a critical role in the definition of the so called “acid” sound and being involved in the development of dance music genres. Being at the core of different dance music aesthetics, the possibility to interact with a pattern based memory and a limited set of parameters is one the TB303’s design feature that mostly inspired the research underlying this work.

"Deep psychedelic rave trip. My vision for the mix was to start deep and weird, then break up and unravel in the middle, before putting itself back together and ascending to an emotional end." - @syberkid

Dreamy Drone Cordial

I made this while I had a little time off during Thanksgiving. It was meant to just be an exploration with the Kurzweil K2500RS I had recently acquired. But it also became a soundtrack to my thoughts over that week, as I had just found out that a relative had become very sick and was in the hospital. When I listen back to this now I think of him - he was a very kind, big hearted soul who will be missed greatly by many people.

Tech Notes:
Pad - K2500RS flute patch through Valhalla Super Massive.
Electric Piano - K2500RS el piano patch through Valhalla Delay.
