This tribal drum solo is a spontaneous improvisation, just for fun. I’m sharing this to give you a glimpse into some of the percussion gear I’ve used over the years, which often gets sampled and woven into my techno tracks. The tribal elements are an important part of my sound, adding texture and depth to my music. It’s all about experimenting with rhythms and sounds, blending them into something fresh. Hope you enjoy this little look into my creative process!

Tribal Drum Solo

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)

But Hey, There Is Hope—Not Just Endlessly: Spin Again! // Anniversary 10 Mix

This Comfort Won't Last Here Long

"Tightness" is a composer's value, a quality of music that more often revealed by score study than by casual listening.  Composers might call a score "tight" if its events and parameters turn out overdetermined, as do the answers to a crossword puzzle.  That means the little details all satisfy multiple constraints and the overall fit-together quality verges on the uncanny.

Here I have combined the serial logic with a minimalist's sense of decorum, to keep the listening experience as close as possible to a deep dive into the score.  Indeed, in the second and third sections the rhythmic invention helps you out if your relative pitch lets you down.

In particular, this piece is a love song to the only three tone rows that enjoy a property similar to but distinct from the row that forms the basis of my recent "Let Me Be As Clear As I Can."  

As with the row in that previous piece, each row, joined with certain rotations of two alternative forms of that same row, produces a succession of all 12 distinct trichord classes — and in each case, one can choose the alternative forms in four essentially distinct ways!  Where these rows differ, the succession of trichords always turns out essentially the same across all four solutions.  

Think of a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces can fit together in very different ways and yet strangely still form the same picture.

The three rows and all the solutions receive three different compositional treatments, each forming one of the sections of this work. 

I consider the work indeterminate in a limited way: other versions might replace any or all of the three rows with one of their 2304 = 48² forms (taking into account multiplications of pitch classes and position numbers, as well as transpositions and rotations), and versions can also shuffle, in six ways, which row receives which compositional treatment.

Lyrics:

Dudurududu
So many plans were made
Dudurududu
A lot that was ment to happen
Dudurududu
But it didn't turn out as you thought
Dudurududu
Long time ahead ,became too short

What may feel right to you today
May feel wrong to you tomorrow
What makes you laugh at this moment
Can suddenly turn into sorrow

Dudurududu
A direction was chosen
Dudurududu
It was supposed to go straight ahead
Dudurududu
But something got in the way
Dudurududu
A u-turn suddenly appeared

What may feel right to you today
May feel wrong to you tomorrow
What makes you laugh at this moment
Can suddenly turn into sorrow

Dudurududu
Dudurududu

What's the point of making all these plans
If you're no longer there to enjoy them?
You know about today
But nothing about tomorrow

What may feel right to you today
May feel wrong to you tomorrow
What makes you laugh at this moment
Can suddenly turn into sorrow...

Life Is Now

 Lyrics

 you forgot what love is Yeah,
 yeah, you forgot what love is
 Yeah, yeah, you forgot what love is Yeah,
 yeah, you forgot what love is 
 What the happiness that it brings You don't understand your life or what it 
 sings Guess you can hear it in the atmosphere (
 But you forgot the love is inside You don't understand right now 
 I'm here to provide Some people just don't understand 
 But why? 
 They don't understand what love is Yeah, they don't know what love is
 Why I had you, yeah, holding in my arms This is real right now, I'll hold you like 
  a charm Oh, yeah, I knew the world 
 Right now, it's getting kind of worse But guess what? 
 I'm the one to step up first I guess the love that I have right now 
 It ain't no curse We a perfect match 
 But you don't understand none of that Yeah, I think you forgot what love is
 You forgot what love is Yeah, yeah, you forgot what love is 
 Yeah, yeah, you forgot what love is Yeah, yeah, you forgot what love is 
 Yeah, yeah, you forgot what love is You don't know, you never will 
 I guess you don't know how I really feel My emotions inside right now 
 I'm telling you right now I'm trying to stay alive 
 But it seems like it's harder for me to try I'm trying to get my whole point across 
 But it seems like right now your thoughts is tossed 
 But I was wondering why you so lost Why he do you like that? 
 I guess the love was not in him But the love inside of me 
 Just to let you know I still breathe And everyday I know how it could be 
 Right now we going for the victory And the victory is right now 
 Me and you together for history Yeah, for centuries 
 You forgot what love is Yeah, yeah, I think you forgot what love is 
 Yeah, yeah, I think you did Yeah, I think you did 
 You forgot what love is It's the love that I'm giving 
 And I hope you receive it Man, you forgot what love is 
 To all the females out there Yeah, you forgot what love is
