impulse nine loves you and this playlist is how that love is expressed

The Streets

The Next

The actual true story of how I met my spouse, including my real pickup line, that ... did not work. In fact, it almost stopped the entire conversation. But not quite.

Lyrics:
I’m at my ex’s apartment and I’m staring at the wall
She’s saying something dumb, kinda like a mental hair ball
She’s dating my best friend, they were fuckin’ the minute I was gone
Trying to be the bigger one, but here I am writing this song

Resist! Resist! Not my first ex who’s done this
Resist! Resist! Tear at the wall and all of this
A kitten on a leash resists society
I want to run and hide just that kitten and me

I turn around and there’s the roommate, walking down the hall
She’s just my type, she’s got the glasses, and Shakespeare on her wall
I can feel the ex’s eyes, burning in the side of my head
But your roommate is fair game, girl; just look at you and my friend

Come sit down
By the TV
Just you and me

Resist! Resist! Not my first ex who’s done this
Resist! Resist! Tear at the wall and all of this
A kitten on a leash resists society
I want to run and hide just that kitten and me

Persist! Persist! Twenty-one years since we first kissed
Persist! Persist! Without her I would not exist
Persist! Persist! Twenty-one years since we first kissed
Persist! Persist! Thank God I never could resist

I’m not sure what ever happened to that ex-girlfriend
But I know I’ll be here, until the day I’m dead

Yeah you know
And now they know

RESIST!

Music for flagging hearts and and hard times. Written in realization that even trusted news sources can be poisonous if the information is pointless drivel meant to drive us to despair. We must step back from the Void.

Call of the Void (Quiet)

Call of the Void (Noise)

Call of the Void

This is about as pretty a melody as we can do. With inspiration taken from Zero7 and Cinematic Orchestra, as well as contemporary lofi and a pinch of Phil Collins' drums. Hacky & Bird guided the lofi aspects, and Yahli contributed the live drumming parts. Otherwise written and performed by impulse nine as a break from an upcoming album.

Rainy Day

A collaboration between impulse nine and Hacky + Bird, this is a brief respite from a burning world. A moment to catch your breath.

Static

Original psytrance song with heavy bass arps, smooth pads and a lovely little chiptune melody near the third part. Last album share before they're released. I might still tinker with this one a little, maybe change some of the arrangement in the first part but otherwise I'm liking it as a finished demo. Enjoy.

The Path

I Want It All

For over 20 years, impulse nine was a private home studio project, but has expanded to include musicians from Tucson and around the world. After hundreds of demos and untold hours, impulse nine is being presented to the world as a mostly-instrumental amalgam of shoegaze, hard rock, and post-rock, with influences from ambient, 90s rock, and other places.

RESIST!
