Sad Music for Happy Humans - In This Together (2013)

IDK, it wasn't really a show, but we were in a place and people were there.  I had some walls of sound possibilities of me, and no idea what I was going to do. This happened.  It felt right.

It's a progression, you can't just skip through and understand.  You gotta hear the whole thing to get it.  #musicofyore

Always and Forever (2008) live improv @Dunes Portland, Oregon

Mark Ronson vs. The Quantic Soul Orchestra - Pushin Ronson

not need we believe just every little thing for the joker and the faker is the momma and the maker 
god please don’t make me crawl on my knees to appease a clan of brainwashed people  
just takes one to break the rights of the people so dumbstruck and feeble igniting some in the flames and the evil like the devil and the weasal 
come down from your throne of flames just for a moment i’d like to exchange a few of our favorite recipes got the best of these my freind
a mighty fire , a rouge lighter , an old crier has no home to which will return  
i feel on the brink uh uh of
catastrophe spoken blasphemy don’t you hassle me i’ll scream

The Quantic Soul Orchestra - Walking Through Tomorrow (TM Juke Mix)

Sad Music for Happy Humans -03- And the Heart Trembled.mp3

Terrapin-The quantic soul orchestra

i don’t care what anybody else 
has to say about how i’m living 
knowing it’s all up inside the self
really didn’t matter what the rest did anyway

lately i been thinking bout the earth
that good good just keep on spinning
hail to the death and to the birth
some'll have to go if we gon keep on making babies 
and lord knows we gon keep making em 
making em em making em make 
making em making em making em make 
and we gon keep on dying 

look at the world how could it be i call upon the roots and the trees 
look at the world how could it be i call upon the rivers and the seas
look at the people how they divide maybe it’s harder to love than to fight
everyone claiming ideas are true if you don’t see it like me then fuck you 

well fuck you and fuck you too
i love you and i love you too

the world

fall rolls in bringing with it little dewey drops of the unknown
talk about a sin let the shiddy shadow shine bright on the hustlin
give in to what we are
little pitter patter of dust on a star

what one said goes cause everyone knows compromise blows
one unready to let go of followin their own flow two unsteady watch them grow

from death we come to live a lucid life and get somethin done
another family tree another story
it seems like everyone’s important to somebody

i left my love for another
i followed my heart not my word

one once said the story’s the same but the pair of feet change
but i’ve observed through stories i’ve heard it’s never the same
we’re always changing
the we of yesterday is not the we of today

fall rolls in

a block from inspiration a hallway of sorts we’re in
wherein all the little flower buds bloom within
ideas and dreams bubble up like molten lava
volcanically seeking its path before it’s cold and harder 

step into my cave be still for a bit 
listen to our brain heart body and spirit
’tis this one that knows the wider frame
face pale and dampened like the ghost of my dream

scare thee not lest this one’s alright
as we come blessed paranoia in the night
naysayer’s wish for all to feel so blind
confusion’s dish served with aged fine wine

oh why why oh why and when when and when
and what what and what and who who and where
where ? 

patiently awaiting your last living breath last living death till the next one
defiantly engaging your last blown attempt at raging with the waters till you get some
get some get some

rags times crimess like the goddess almahighty
fervent xxrak from the depths of the underworld wa’a’swoosh xlaga 
batter’s up to strike like maga maga smoo’ith me
guys come to woo’iz me leaves me so woozy whoosh off with you off 
push your sunken campaign for fame distract destruct
who’s getting paid for us to live this way
way out way out in space none of this matters rraka tss 
but we’re free not even bound to this body
and so we sing as though everybody’s listening
and we will scream about the state and the hypocrisy
this cruel machine eating alive all the souls and beings
all the souls and beings

hallway of sorrrts

Years ago, Nevyn died. Flatline. Clinically dead. 5+ Minutes. He was already a musician. But music came to mean something much more after that experience.

From this mindstate came Sad Music for Happy Humans; a sonic exploration of humanity, of polar opposites, of yin yang... a sonic perspective of a human who remembers what it is like to be pure energy. Music as pure feeling, as frequency and vibration.

Sad Music for Happy Humans has played festivals, showsh, happenings and gatherings across the US, has watched over the shoulder of Richard D James while he created, has opened for Egyptian Lover and much much more.
