Background Noise

ample sky

recorded in 1 take in a closet
when i was 13 i was in a guitar center trying out thinlines all day bc they were my fave guitar and the ja-90 came out and i really wanted it. i got something similar (and nicer) 8 years later and i named him benjamin. 

benjamin
dont let me forget that summer
benjamin
remind me that i can do better
benjamin
i have never been so glad to be afraid

benjamin
impulse just becomes decision way to quick for me to even know my limit
i've been staring at the signs but i could never read them
you're a language i could never comprehend
did you even think that i could ever have it in me
just to pack 2 bags and fly out to a monster city
every passing minute makes me feel more tiny and more glad to be alive
or just glad to be alive

there's a high from being miserable and jaded
finding sounding boards for all of your frustrations
you confirm your biggest fears to the most pragmatic ears
and them pretend that it could somehow make you safe
but when i am around you i am nervous screaming silently while scanning every detail of your face
all this fear that i will never really feel this way again
lights the fire that burns me into being brave

you're my fleeting summer fuck up
i'm your tropical mistake
i have never been more glad to be afraid

benjamin

Enter the daydream cycles of Jp Hill as he shares his romantic world of whimsical and soothing melodies in his debut release “Stay With Me” on BuwanBuwan Collective’s New Moon Series. Painting us warm colors reminiscent of lost childhood innocence and wonder, Stay With Me is a safe haven, a warm embrace of sound that carries us away from the pain of everyday stress. If life were an RPG this would probably be the music that plays when your main character checks into an Inn, saves all progress and recovers all HP and MP to full, miles away from all forms of harm and trouble. So make yourselves at home, pop this single into your players, this would probably be the best music for recharging. <3

JP HILL
(SINGLE) “STAY WITH ME”
BBCNM002

"I wrote this song one December evening. I wanted to incorporate the emotion of being happy and positive despite the shit we go through on the daily. I feel like I really pushed myself with this piece, it’s the first time for me to really feel free."

On ‘Catching Orbits’, Justo creates a soundboard for the creatures of night — shattering the static while the rest of the sheltered, unfazed world is in slumber. It is for the souls who roam the streets seeking for warmth; the ones who crave for company in crowded bars because they are spooked by their own shadows; the wide-eyed youth who still believe star-gazing is romantic; the lonesome worker who pulls a double shift rather than sleep in a ghost of a home; the ones whose faces are bathed not in the glow of the moon, but of their smartphone screens; the mother whose heart leaps whenever she sees the twinkling lights the moving star that will one day take her home to her children; the insomniac with eyes that swim between wakefulness and dreams; and the fathers in their blood-soaked shanties, whose last memory of sound is the bass of their hearts before they sail through the sea of silence. All their lives lived in a sequence of day and night, just doing their best to fill the empty in between. This is the sound of their routine.

(EP) “Catching Orbits”
BBCNM003

“Quoting Terrace Martin, "I’ll say it again, we do music for them, for the struggling. That’s all we do it for is them, the people that understand struggle.” The tape channels my thoughts on Martin's quote. Thanks to music in general, my life and other people's lives are worth living for. The release is a way for me to pay the deed forward; I've been grateful for the local musicians and beatmakers for their music. Therefore, I want to do the same and help other people's lives be better everyday.

Dedicated to the people who knew about this project; you know who you are. Thanks for orbiting my life. Shoutout to Jorge and the BuwanBuwan crew for the series; I am forever grateful for you.”

Dry Monsoon

Paradise that I have found
Don't take me back to the surface now
I don't wanna feel all the finer things in life

If a wave swallows me now,
I'll evaporate into a cloud
I am happy
I may be dead but I'm alive

The sand in my feet 
And the wind in my hair
And the sun on my face
And the love everywhere
The sound of waves illuminates the air

Do you know where the light is?
Lead the way and I will follow
Out of the darkness, you and I will go

Find your wave and life will go on
With or without me, you'll be fine
Nothing to prove, nothing to worry about
Everything is an illusion of the mind

I've got ideas up in my head
I see the future in the signs
I'll be a soul that makes it out there
The first of many of our kind

The Surface

unreleased b-side song from "The Drum Chord Theory"

lyrics :

im in love with 2 women, dunno what ima do wit em/
im not cold, my heart is crowded. bear with me/
i cry alot at night, ill deal with me/
the spirits with me/
pray for me please/
sometimes i feel like i wanna get down on my knees/
and take this life shit into my own hand, but im a grown man/
gotta deal with the emotions that are at hand/
i really love my friends man/
them niggas keep me outta so much shit, damn/
sometimes i feel like i dont even deserve them/
and i could always be a better man/
so i drop a bunch acid just to find the answers/
but it always comes up that life might be pointless/
are there others our there? or is it just us?/
life get crazy sometimes boy let me tell ya/
so many people lose they soul for fear of failure/
what they dont tell ya, is they dont have the answers/
you have em all in you, theres no need to switch your stance up/
now that i have everything i wanted in life/
you'd think things would be clearer/
you'd think right?

what do i do?/
i got love for both of you/
but theres no room for 2/
what am i spose to do?/
you're my base/
i dont wanna see you face/
covered in tears/ 
you been there through all those years.
