Tin Woman
I feel my age these days
bones creaking
the need to be well-oiled
like some kind of
tin woman
all rusted
my metal parts
need refurbishing
then I could
have a new body
without dying
Be all bionic
and built like
a brickhouse again.

What's matter

Love you don't know me (explicit)

Marco Lucchi, based in Modena, Italy, and Henrik Meierkord, based in Stockholm, Sweden, have a lengthy collaboration to their reciprocal credit, and they accomplish it far and near alike. A testament to the interplay of their work together is that a listener might be hard-pressed to discern which of their recordings are the result of long-distance file-trading, and which occurred when the two managed to be in the same place at the same time.

Several aspects of their respective music-making serve them well as creative partners. First of all, both tend toward the ambient, given as they are generally to a slow pace and to a sensibility that manages to be at once radiant and intimate. Secondly, while both are multi-instrumentalists, there is a complementary nature to their specialties, Lucchi being more of a keyboardist, Meierkord more of a string player. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, they are both immersed in techniques drawn from electronic music.

In particular, both men are experienced with live multitrack recording, in which they process and layer their own performances in real time. Meierkord is fond of layering sinuous tones to create scenarios of unique dimensions. It becomes uncertain — even unimportant — to the listener what preceded what, so intricate is his deployment of interplay. Lucchi likewise finds parallels between classical orchestration and the opportunity for drones lent by modern synthesizers; in a small room he can create a vast space. There is often an oceanic depth to such efforts, part composed and part improvisatory, in which playing is a tool toward composition, rather than the other way around.

Throughout their new record, there is an underlying melancholy, a nostalgic beauty, and a reflective consideration — a virtue that is foundational to their ongoing collaboration. The result is particularly rich in plaintive scene setting, as on the glacially paced “La bestia umana,” which emerges from a neighborly field recording of a dog barking, and “Kosmisk Strålning II,” which maintains a dream-like quietude, more shadow than light. One “Like tears in rain”, what sounds like a synthesizer is, in fact, a piano, a recording of which has been stretched beyond the point of it being readily identifiable.

On first listen, their leaning toward unimpeachable steadiness can seem uniform, but listen more closely and you’ll recognize how explicitly they emote on a track like “The Third Stage,” due not just to the reaching melodic surges (which, in turn, match the sampled recordings of bird calls) but to the slight discordances that suggest trouble and tension. In a different manner, there is “A warm and golden October,” which balances breaking-dawn hush with piercing overtones. That track features a motif at the end, played on a celesta; those bell-like tones edge the piece out of dreaminess without entirely breaking the spell.

The greatest outlier — dog barking notwithstanding — may be on “Oändlig,” not just for its fierce pulse, but because of its more immediately electronic vibe. “Oändlig” is an exceptional piece, bringing to mind the minimalism of Terry Riley and the rave classics of Underworld.

Description:
Voice controlled Synthesiser + Drifting Delays + Electric Violin. An evolving time signature or put another away, no time signature, no set tuning, reaching a meditative state, improvising on my NS Design Wav 4 Electric violin, through the Soma Laboratory Pipe and Cosmos.

The Soma Laboratory Cosmos is a drifting memory station. Is it a looper? In the firmware version used here, the original factory setting, it is not a looper, but a series of long delay lines, with a drifting lengths. The feedback control on the front panel, enabled me to fed out the recorded echos. Since there is no time signature nor a fixed bmp, one is never sure when and what is going to be echoed back, so it's a pure improvisation state you need to get your self in, a meditative state.

All music recorded here was either through my electric violin or voice/mouth/mic-tap sounds recorded through the Soma Pipe. Ableton Live was used to layer and sequence the recordings, no effects were used in Live.

The five tracks of the electric violin had a signal chain of:
NS Design Wav 4 Electric violin -> L.R. Baggs Para Acoustic D.I. -> Soma Pipe (Reverb, Oktava and Harcho algorithms) -> Soma Cosmos (various settings) -> Native Instruments Komplete Audi0 2 -> Ableton Live

Whereas for the Pipe tracks used a signal chain of:
Soma Pipe (driven by percussive mouth sounds and tapping on the microphone) -> Native Instruments Komplete Audio 2 -> Ableton Live

A ephemeral recording on the Soma Cosmic.

MAKE THE BEST OF IT...
Build a solid empire from the top down 
haters drop like dominoes while I keep growing Strong 
doesn’t matter who’s right or wrong let’s get on with our lives 
Move On just let bygones be bygones

Bringing to the game innovations style and wit
we ain’t here forever let’s make the best of it 
times way too short let’s enjoy the rest of it 
I’m a keep doing me so I ain’t even sweating it

The lord threw me Lifeline—-coming through clear
Blue skies and sunshine—-feeling blessed I swear
—-thank goodness for the good times—-I’ve try my best
New territory and horizons—-to relieve my stress
More adventures to follow—-they will manifest 
Obsessed—-relentless—-committed—hard pressed 
it’s all or nothing—— I won’t settle for less——-
Just want to say thanks—-I feel truly blessed
Lifted is my spirit as the crowded--Room judges
Gifted is the reason that I hold no grudges
Drifted are my worries as I watch them float away
I practice my craft every single day
When the pressure is on I shine the most 
cause to me it's all downhill relax I coast
Lyrics like dope so don't give up hope 
if the pressure is on you know I can cope

The groove is all dreams—that’s a sign
Smooth like ice cream—tasty lines
Flows and rhyme schemes—-all the time
Know what I mean—-I get mine

Make The Best of it
