Great stuff  this Francis and sounding well good chap...

Cracking song and great job on the music and your voice and words fitted it all very well my good freind. Very well enjoyed this chap and very well done on this this Swan Song...

This is my introduction to your work Francis and what an introduction. Your vocals sound great (as a fellow Glaswegian I may be a bit biased) and as a first post as a vocalist - bravo. THis piece is beautifully arranged and produced. I'll have to return to hear more on your clloud, give me time to make my way around. Cheers, Mark 

The vox fitted in perfectly. You have those magic musicmakingskillz

We welcome Glaswegian producer @hellosulci to the label with the release of her debut, "Before The Echo".

The story of Sulci is an inspiring one. She was born with tinnitus and partially deaf meaning that she struggled to appreciate and experience music throughout her childhood in the early 2000's. Almost shutting music out of her life completely through frustration. As she reached her teens she began learning piano and guitar as a way of escapism and adapted a new concentration on how to immerse herself in sound. She also began recording acapella takes of her own voice on her iPhone and layering them together to make purely vocal soundscapes. Shortly thereafter she picked up Ableton software and started to make backing tracks and accompaniments for her multi range vocals.

This journey leads us to "Before The Echo".

It's an album rich in emotion and depth. Carefully pieced together to tell a story. It pulls together elements of ambient, electronica, garage, chamber pop, choral, sampledelia and funk. Quite the cocktail.

The result is a colourful and vibrant palette of sounds that immediately obtain a signature aesthetic for this fresh new producer. Stripped back and slowed down garage style beats intertwining with layered vocals alongside a mix of brooding soundscapes that are juxtaposed with some more uptempo numbers that come with an experimental pop edge.

There's a specific tone that makes intermittent appearances throughout at the start and close of a few tracks. They act as a reminder and recognition of her own struggles to reach a comfortable space in the world of audio.

We, for one, are glad that she has reached that destination.

Lyrics:

"I woke on what was to be
The End of Days.
The hazy remnants of twisted dreams
Slowly fading away.
Reaching out my hand to find
Only a vacant space in my bed.
Drunken memories of stupid mistakes
Playing forever in my head.

Images flashing back of you
Lying there as still as stone.
Only moments before, the air was on fire,
Then, suddenly, I was alone.
You’ll never be able to forgive me now
For all that I have put you through.
I can’t believe that you won’t be back.
What am I supposed to do?

My world has already ended
If I can’t have you by my side. 
I only wish that you were still here,
Maybe I could try and make things right. 
But I sent you away
So this is my final gesture.
For I am the swan
Dreaming of being a grasshopper."

Hi there. I'm just a guy who enjoys making music for the fun of it and I hope that you will enjoy listening to it. Peace and take care! (^_^)

I would like to thank everyone who has left feedback on my music and encouraging me on. It really means a lot to me and I greatly appreciate it!
