The piece was created for the exhibition "Experiments" at Nobelmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden.

Based on the process of finding the Higgs boson. In the song we hear protons colliding and decaying into other particles. Before the last vamp you hear a big proton collision leading to the decay into a mysterious Higgs boson. Less than one particle collision in ten billion result in a decay into a Higgs Boson.

Particle Accelerator

You hear the last member of the of the Kauai o'o bird species, calling for a mate that will never come. The music was created by comping keyboard to the sound of a calling Kauai o'o bird. The Kauai o'o's melodic, astoundingly beautiful call and heartbreaking story is the inspiration behind the music.

"This is the song of the Kauai o'o bird. In 1987 this species of bird became extinct. There are no more, but before the last living one died its song was recorded. This is that song. It is the song of an endling: the final member of a species asking to know one. 
- Hey! Where are we all?
It's a male calling for a mate that will never come."

Movie - Tom Misch : Celery Version by Hip Colour

One of my favorite songs, remade using one of my favorite vegetables.

Background story.
- Me: Eating celery
- Roomie: ”You sound like a hamster, record it!”
- Me hearing Tom Misch released a new song I didn’t see daylight until I ran out of celery and ideas.

Enjoy

LYRICS:
I’ve, Been poking you (I poked you once…)
I’m poking you again

I’m poking you till you become my friend

Since last we spoke I just can’t rest my feet
I’m poking you ’till you decide to meet (I’m poking you until you wanna meet)

But your response…
Waiting to hear…
What are you up to?..
No need to fear…

I am waiting here until you see that I am opening my heart

And when I get to look into your face
My heart starts to expand to outer space
More beautiful than all the stars combined 
A hundred thousand billion trillion times

You poked me back

"POKE" is a mixtape/compilation/thing, structured the same way as our 2017 "THAW" compilation.  The first 6 songs are from completely new musicians, who have never been on DESKPOP before, while the rest of the tracks are remixes of existing DESKPOP songs (with some of the remixers making their own DESKPOP debuts as well).

The title was decided upon because of the word's versatility.  As the first track by HiP CoLouR uses it, a poke can be to get someone's attention in a friendly but personal manner, as it implies physical contact.  "Poke" can also be used to describe how seedlings start to pop up out of the ground, similar to how the new producers on this compilation are poking their heads into the music industry.  And finally, a cactus will absolutely poke you if you mishandle it, so the word could have a more aggressive meaning attached to it, like how tracks from Cromulon Twins, pooldad & Low Poly have very in-your-face fun moments.

Three days ago John Lundvik won the Swedish Melody Festival and became our contestant for Eurovision Song Contest 2019. I liked his song "Too Late For Love" so much that I spent these days locked in the studio and made a Piano & Synth cover. 

I poured a lot of love into the recording just like John poured love into his performance. Enjoy :)
