So we played around with ableton live 9 for a few hours. This was the result after much sampling and tweaking. Used in conjunction with Maschine.

Pendulum

Bluebird, by Charles Bukowski

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you.

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he’s in there.

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? You want to screw up the works? You want to blow my book sales in Europe?

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I’m too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody’s asleep.

I say, I know that you’re there, so don’t be sad. Then I put him back, but he’s singing a little in there, I haven’t quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it’s nice enough to make a man weep, but I don’t weep, do you?

In My Heart

I Am

Started in early 2012, the band has gone through constant evolution from an alternative rock band to arrive at its current incarnation which features samples, electronic beats, electric piano and synthesizers.

We draw influence from our collective love of Radiohead, Portishead, Flying Lotus, Massive Attack, Four Tet, Burial, MSTRKRFT, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Robyn, Tinashe and various others.
