This week on <a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.ckua.com/09/30/13/TransCanadas-Alberta-Backstage-Series/abbackstage.html?blockID=321972&amp;feedID=7311'));">TransCanada's Alberta Backstage</a>: His debut album, Infinitely Repeated, is less than a year old. But electronic singer-songwriter <a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.hellomoth.com/'));">Hello Moth</a> has already captured the attention of Calgary’s indie music scene with a sound he describes as “Souless Soul”. It’s a description that underlines the juxtaposition between his synth-laiden tracks and his soulful voice. While he uses a synthesizer with looping technology to create his soundscapes, his sound is difficult to compare to other artists known for using that process. The Calgary musician sights a wide swath of influences, from Bach to the Swedish electronic duo, The Knife. This week, you'll hear his recent live session recorded at the <a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.nmc.ca'));">National Music Centre</a>. Plus, we have new music from Lethbridge band <a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://theutilities.org/'));">The Utilities</a>. The indie rockers are set to release their third full length album, Sulky Jr., on Friday, March 28. You may remember we profiled the band on our Most Anticipated Alberta Releases of&nbsp; 2014 show. This week, we offer you a live preview of songs from the forthcoming album, recorded at the National Music Centre in Calgary. Hello Moth set list: "One Worthless Wish" "Old Pain" "Ghost Now Too" "Tired Old Heart" "Slave in a Stone" The Utilities set list: "Habitude" "June 30th" "Storyville" "Still" "Gasoline Trigger" "Into the Ether" Originally broadcast: March 21, 2014

A Song About Devotion (Hello Moth Cover) (Demo)

July's 1o8, is the mantra "Om Namo Narayanaya"

This is a mantra of peace. Narayanaya is another name for Vishnu the preserver, and is also the "resting place of all living beings"

"May we meet life in peace"

July 2016 - 108 Om Namo Narayanaya (Mantra For Peace)

My good friend @n3mbeats made this awesome lofi beat specifically for this song. You get to hear the melodies of the Czech producer as he teams up with two Canadian rappers to make a song that spins across the world. 

This song features @tristan-craig-358179551 - known as "The Guy", my own brother, it is his very first rap performance to be published to date.

lyrics:
everything is soft again
it's the snow that makes it so
quiet muffled world’s amen
whitewashed mosses overgrow
sheared from clouds' fleece by the cold
careless harvest, scattered sigh
mantle of a shivered soul
hiding in the falling sky

and i can’t go back to where i was
no i can’t go back, baby just because
i been everywhere and off the track
so i can’t go back, baby i cannot go back

i'll leave no footprints coming home
no one will see where i have been
no dents in snow will show my path
no angels will curl up therein
for angels must have holy beds
of sainted steps by good feet laid
so you'll not see them sleeping sound
within the tracks i won't have made

and i can’t go back to where i was
no i can’t go back, baby just because
i been everywhere and off the track
so i can’t go back, baby i cannot go back

oo-aa no-way no-one’s a-comin’
oo-aa no-way no-one’s a-come

Footprints
