sometimes we just have to buy the right ticket to move on

Diamond Seas

Anyone listening to this song will think how on earth did she come up with this....
Well yesterday I discovered an interesting synth and found a guitar called Pawnshop and that is how the name of this production came about.

The lyrics started from that point on.

Presenting my latest production:

The Pawn Shop
(spoken word)
It's across the street
from the railway line
and just around the corner

there's a neon sign 
saying
we buy everything
just bring it down
but we won't give you what it's worth

You see
one man's pain
is another man's pleasure

One man's trash 
is another man's treasure

So I walked into the pawn shop
and what did 
I see

Lots of brands
have intense names
like rigor mortis
or mortuary
well were'nt that intense
we called ourselves the injured

What kind of things do you see

Everything in here has a story
and a price

You ever know what's
going to come through that door

Now your in my way
and I am not interested
what's under the counter
looking around

what  did I see
I dont want to come home with you
I'd rather go back to my owner
I should not have landed here at all
I know there was a reason
I was brought here
I hope that one day
I'll be claimed back
and sent home
to my owner
where I belong
I didn't want to be here
I was sold off
That's the story
of the Pawnshop
around the corner
Neon Lights
saying
We Buy Everything

The Pawnshop

This EP was first released as a tape at Already Dead Tapes (AD168). The tape has been sold out, but the EP is available over at Already Dead Tapes : alreadydeadtapes.bandcamp.com/album/low-serotonin

"The world of ambient noise is one that can easily become monotonous and redundant. Expectations of these “spaced out” arrangements are usually met due to the listener’s understanding of the genre. There is, however, comfort in knowing what is coming from these musical experiences; but it is lovely when an artist throws you through a loop and knocks you out of your comfort zone. This is exactly what Lcoma & The Next Commuter drop into your lap on their new release ‘Low Serotonin’. Naturally progressing from their last release with Already Dead (2012’s ‘Waiting to be Spoken To’), the group takes you to a land where gravity holds no bearing, and time is only a myth. Unlike many ambient noise based albums ‘Low Serotonin’ plays more like an organic feeling than a movie score. It is music to implode to; slowly winding its way around and through movement after movement into a victorious conclusion."

My parents listened to Franz Liszt - I still have the original record so I ended up a fan.  My music teacher was the late: Anatoly Miroshnyk (born August 19, 1923 - died July 14, 2011) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, musician and public figure.

We often think of talented musicians as folks who start young and advance their skills via the finest education available to them. While this is certainly true in some cases, there are plenty who realised many of their artistic capacities without the aid of specialised instruction or a degree in music.

Where words leave off, music begins.. Not everyone has the ability to compose music I also sing Jazz & Blues with musicians on Wikiloops a truly amazing community.

 I've always been passionate about music composition and fortunately the internet & technology made it possible to build a community in the clouds.

Find my global music journey since 2012 below:

https://linktr.ee/ArapaMusic

I've been tested by an examiner from the Australian Conservatorium of Music & apparently I have perfect pitch and blessed with the ability to accompany any musician, add hooks to any genre - as a singer I’m not great but who cares thats why most is spoken word.

I have my own style - either you like it or not -  always open for collaborations

🎤I have no fear of perfection - will never reach it 🎧   I don’t have the perfect voice nor am I aiming to be the best I'm only human with a passion for what I love music is in my heart.

Thank you to all who believe in me and MOST OF ALL my amazing Mentor thank you Sir for encouraging me to NEVER GIVE UP it all takes time and practice.

My mixing & mastering techniques have been learned from Youtube tutorials & experimenting with Logic Pro X.   I love the creativity and flexibility music production - a continual learning journey  of #passion #persistence #perspiration #patience
 
Having begun her musical journey at the young age of five with the piano accordion – an instrument initially more of an expectation than a choice, yet one for which she now holds deep gratitude – Heidi-Marie eventually transitioned into the captivating world of electronic music production a few years ago. This discovery led to the gentle retirement of her accordion, making space for her true passion: composing, producing, and sharing her sonic creations with the world. For Heidi-Marie, music is not just a pastime but a lifelong dedication, a constant until her final days.
