Emotional Electronic

From merely 'liked' to put into a solid playlist, and then, with any luck in finding a way to purchase these, to tracks I love enough to pay for and listen to repeatedly offline.

Therapy (Sped up Version)

COMING ON RELAXED MACHINERY 7.11.11.... “What Is Memory?” is a 69 minute aural exploration by Dean Richards/Disturbed Earth (Australia) and myself, Steve Brand (U.S.) of the nature of memory and time, that utilizes keyboard atmospheres, flutes and voice. This impetus for this piece was born out of personal phone conversations between Dean and myself. We both have experienced how time can transform memory, how memories can become distorted, built-up into almost legendary proportions, clouded with sentiment. We also know that when looking back into memories with a clearer mind in the present can transmute once painful memories into those that empower and propel us into a new future. Many times, we seem to feel that we are the result of our past, and that the past is unchangeable, but when we dare to look more deeply, we see that the past changes all the time—and that many times, things were not at all as we remembered. More importantly, we have both discovered that it is not so much what happens to us in life, but how we choose to regard those events that makes all the difference. In short, rather than a hindrance, memory and the past can function as a crucible for personal transformation. Sounds were passed back and forth from Dean to myself at least 3 times over a period of months, with the final result being sweeping and evocative—a true melding of our individual sensibilities and sound.

Loved You All The Way (Johannes Brecht Night Remix)

Appears on Catalog # rM_0004 - Bob Ohrum - Elevated album on Relaxed Machinery.  “Elevated” is a journey through heartbreaking loss and the celebration of a spirit set free from a broken body.  “In 2007 I wrote and recorded ‘Elevated’ as a tribute to my father, a great man and a good friend. I only hope that the songs I have written are a suitable tribute…”  Bob wrote “song for you (i’ll never forget)” on the day his family spread his father’s ashes in the valley you see on the cover. The song is literally raw emotion.

"Time Lost" is from Chris Russell's 3rd album, Frozen.  Frozen recalls the stillness and silence of a winter snowfall transitioning into spring, celebrating the rebirth and renewal of life.  n Chris’ words: “I always look forward to the winter solstice for the solitude and chance for renewal that it brings. As soon as the snow falls, I usually hunker down for months and long recording sessions take place. For the album Frozen I wanted to get a head start and had to go to a headspace to create these frigid sound zones. I have many pictures and memories of winter so it was not hard to do – the music came drifting out. I tried to create sonically the stillness and silence of the winter snowfall. Also, the passage into the beginning of spring the rebirth and renewal of life.”

Frozen was recorded between June 2009 and March 2010. Mixed and recorded by
the artist.
