Sunday July 31 2022 I was given the chance to be on air for an hour set on Vía De Acceso (@viadeacceso) at Lumbung Radio (https://lumbungradio.stationofcommons.org). I sincerely thank my friends Çois Agver (@ois-agver) and Jorge Lara (@enternetboy) for offering me this great opportunity of a full hour show.
I really didn't expect that, so I tried to make the set more exciting by sending them a few unreleased tracks, dating from 1999 to 2005, I had found after an accurate search on my hard disks. I had never considered releasing any of them before, and I personally think they mostly have a documentary value, as they represent memories of my own learning process in making music on a computer. They actually might be thought of as unfinished works, each one somehow resulting incomplete under a different perspective. Still I thought it was a nice chance to introduce a bit of Teth Sin's musical roots to friends, fans and listeners.
A noticeable exception is represented by this ambient piece I had called "Semiramis" at the time, which I actually consider as complete. A few minutes before writing these lines I found out that it dates back to 2002, not 2004 as I thought in the first place. No wonder I have not much to say about the concept, since I can hardly remember when I did it. But it certainly had to be a kind of a meditation on Semiramis' tragic destiny, no matter which of the numerous traditions about her legend we decide to accept as "true". Her figure is mysterious and ephemeral to such a point that she didn't even deserve a plain condemnation by mankind. It somehow sounded tragic to my ears, so I tried to create a sonic sculpture of such an uncomfortable condition.
During the broadcast I heard Çois stating that the track should be officially released. I'm currently working on a few titles after a period of decreased activity, due to some major issues I've been going through lately, but none of them is ready... So I happily accepted Çois' tip, releasing this good old tune today... In wait of something new coming [hopefully] soon!
Hope you'll all enjoy, and even if you don't... Just listen to Vía De Acceso (@viadeacceso) at https://lumbungradio.stationofcommons.org (or to their archive hosted here on SoundCloud at taRka's page @myrhyum) !!!

The great hunter in exile? There are different versions of how Orion the voracious hunter of Greek mythology came to hang in the sky as a constellation. Possibly as a reward by Zeus or maybe a punishment by his 'ex' Artemis for his evil doings...having been previously blinded by the king of Chios for trying it on with his daughter...he then stepped on a scorpion which finished him off! Hero or villain he was blasted into space and remains with a great close-up view of the amazing Horsehead nebula (pictured).

Lyrics

He thought he was invincible
She thought she was immune
Love it found them in the dark
It found them out too soon

Love was unavoidable
She said she didn't care
He hid his head beneath the sand
And it caught them unaware

When love unfolds
There's no control

A glance, a smile, a kiss, they found love, chased dreams, vowed to never let it die
A love so blind

A dream, a life of love, they held on, pulled through, always giving it a try
A state of mind

They fell on to hard times, they fell so so hard
They failed to see the signs, and they fell apert
Alone and on their knees
Their love had just deceased

Clinging to the love they knew
Fighting in despair
Love had taken everything
There was nothing left to share

Pain is unavoidable
The heart can feel old
Love takes a lifetime to be learnt
It's not a story quickly told

Quickly Told Story (Collab with Neno J)

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
