I was flying through empty space
Free and wild, making so much noise

But nothing was making sense, although I thought I saw it all
Time was stretching thin, felt myself fading away

Then your gravity pulled me in, with so much space to fill
Never moved this way before, I couldn't let you carry on

sitting there in the dark, with a black cloud around your heart
so heavy you couldn't stand, so we took each others hands

Find out how much I can take, try turning up that heat
My light shines brightest against the dark
When I'm up against that wall
I can't stand up but I can't fall
And I'm about to lose it all
When the clouds begin to change
and the Light shines through again

It's Musical Gravity!

You and I will become something new
When you give yourself to me
And I give myself to you
There'll be no end to the love we receive
When it's only you, alone with me
In our Galaxy

TAFFETA | 88

Worn out shirt
soft and faded
cotton threads gone bare 
in places 
 Days I put it on 
I feel just like I did 
          when 
A while back and 
           then 
brush my cheek against its fabric 
I’ve made it stretch and give
same way I learned to live 
and 
I put it on so I feel just like I did
              when
A while back and 
               then 
pearl buttons over silver clasp
white ivory combs in a lightnin flash 
caught out in the open 
gettin drowned 
this sodden clothing 
where my warmth is holding 
in a shirt that’s softly fading 
cotton threads gone bare in places
every tear has been repaired 
for the life and memory of the person 
that I was and who I’ll always be

Bare In Places

Before I Went Alone

Hei!

It's difficult to categorize my music into just one genre. It draws influence from trip hop, breakbeat, instrumental and abstract hip hop, heavy rock, techno, minimal, sound art, contemporary, glitch, and more!

I admire many artists, and you might detect their influence in my work. Among the best are Daft Punk and Massive Attack, followed by 90s Ninja Tune artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, and Kid Koala. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of them live at the legendary Ilosaari Rock festivals. I also appreciate French hip hop, particularly Le Peuple de l'herbe. Other inspirations include The Prodigy, Portishead, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Moby, Mono, Thievery Corporation, Future Sound of London, and more. My taste spans from acid jazz and funk to lo-fi and even punk or hard metal, depending on my mood.

I've been making music since the early 2000s, starting with MadTracker software (I am fine with the program name). A few years ago, I transitioned to music production with Ableton Live 10, and I'm currently using version 12. Some of my tracks are experimental, stemming from explorations over the past 20 years, while others are entirely new compositions. This experimentation is perhaps influenced by my background in research—I'm eager to explore new territories, including music.

Nature is my second passion. I tend to a micro-farm in the summer, raising sheep and chickens and restoring it to its traditional biohabitat. In the winter, I evade to the city and brood there, craving for the countryside's spring, summer, and autumn... or dreaming being in hot and sunny place by a sea or river...

I'm open to collaborations, akin to scientific endeavors where novel and exciting outcomes emerge from teamwork. Feel free to reach out!

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my SoundCloud friends, website visitors, and music listeners. This community is truly remarkable!

Best regards,
Tarmo aka Funking Duck
