BERLIM KATOY

Rising

It is a variation of ‘Minor Swing’ in the intro. One of my fave guitarists. So I kept the rhythm of the lead but changed the notes after the first few notes. In an accurate homage, I played it with 2 fingers.. Also changed the rhythm of the rhythm guitar a bit. I played a minor bebop scale in there. Did some superimposition with the lead on the 3rd and 5th degrees. Then the opening synth melody is taken from ‘Spitting off the edge of the world.’ I also noticed they change to bells midway through the verse so that’s what I did too. Borrowed chord at the end of the last phrase. Secondary dominant to transition to the chorus.Then for the 2nd verse an added real bass. Lastly there is counterpoint for the strings related to the vocals at the last chorus. Still needs more practice but that is something new I’ve tried. I think the electrofunk tune will be a lot better. But, all in all, out of all the mixed songs so far this year, if this is worst song in terms of melody/phrasing, then it’s a good year. It is the more creative one out of the 3 new ones.
I began the song on piano and improvised “I came I saw I conquered’ so I figured I might as well write about Caesar. Prefer Alexander or Genghis and also much prefer Caesar in Planet of the Apes. Apart from the first line of the verse, the rest of the lyrics are written. Chorus is improvised. I learnt that Veni Vidi Vici doesn’t mean I came… It means a swift victory.

My love grows colder by the day, rolling through the night, and it’s certain (Variation of  Dido’s melody in Stan)
From Egypt to modern day France our swords and shields lay the path for one last dance (Caesar’s conquered territory)
I may weep at the grave of Alexander, I may rest my head in Cleopatra (Frank Ocean ‘Cleopatra’ melody reference)
I am the knight of the Bronze Age, my golden phalanx coin’ right atcha.

First we rise. Then we fall. Through it all, wish I could bridge the divide.
I came I saw I conquered, and all your nations devoured.
My tongue is filled with wrath, and I’ll lay your cities down in a bloodbath.
Now you know who I am, what I say, what I do and I hope you’ll understand when all of this is through.
I am the conquerer. I am the conquerer. 

April might be the cruelest month, but beware the ides of March (TS Elliott reference which is found in The Gorge and so is spitting etc.) In the dark.
Upon this Republic, I bestow my weary faith
Augustus my child, you are worthy of praise
We’ll join hands, and take the senate down. (Not historically accurate but whatever)
RIP Mr. Rorie. We were learning about counterculture and ‘blowing in the wind’ Was in the textbook.
“I hate Bob Dylan”
“How can you hate Dylan?”
“His voice sucks.”
“This is coming from a guy who listens to a guy who sounds like a cat.”
*does a good Axl impression*
Then I went to uni and my Indian friend played Isis and One More Cup of Coffee.
“Who is this?”
“It’s Dylan.”
“I’ve changed my mind. Dylan is great”

Rorie on 300.
“It’s a good movie but it’s not the greatest film of all time. “
This was when the whole school was doing their “THIS IS SPARTA” impressions.  Not even Dark Knight Rises had that influence on the entire school.

My past is defined, my future is denied, my present is a lie.

This is a record that was put together from an old instrumental that Theo made which Marques recorded lyrics for in one take, late one night after a spark of inspiration. The song tells a singular story of disappointment, set to the backdrop of live improv on an analog Juno-60 and some experimentation with piano samples. The short film accompanying it takes headlines, adverts, obituaries, photos and schematics from the Arizona news archives to display a particular theology - man plans, God laughs (or as you might have it, man proposes and God disposes. It's about control, or a lack thereof) - that gets built up, quite simply, from a few stories. 

Ice of Waves
Waves of Ice
Waves of ice break through absolute zero
Capes this size will crack the hero
Thunder of rain spits at my face
Blunder with pain sticks like clay
Mayday mayday may
Here comes the day
Break through my skin so it becomes permanent
Cold of rain cuts through the firmament
Wrist shattered to the ligament
That's forever

Iron pours down my funny bone
Sweetheart was on the fucking phone
Sweetheart was on the phone
Reel in so you can hook it
Finish the bottle so you can book it
It was mine so I took it
Uncharted territory imprinted on my map
Another bus ride so I can slip into my bed
And think about it again
Her warm in embrace
I can brace the pain
I forgot to still love her

Flowers bloom, seeds germinate
Water on my face
Speakers boom, fleas are on my plate
All of the Earth breaks
Freaks gloom, tears are all the same
Loss of my favourite mate
I put my knees together to block out the moon
The stars can now see my eyes

I take her back
It's a comeback
My past is defined
My future is denied
My present is a lie and
Fuck, it's a choice for now
It's not me who will face the brunt of the pain
Fit to be the one based as the cunt in the rain
She will pick up the call
But I will deny it
A whole new automobile
I know I can fly it
Clearness of mind when I empty the stock
One of a kind the loss of a son
I hope my father will stop
To look at the gravestone, I-

Bob, I carry around sediment
I wanna know the difference between feelings and sentiment
Every feeling is so deep it's a sentiment
Capes this size will crack the hero
Thunder of rain spits at my face
Blunder with pain sticks like clay
Mayday mayday may
Here comes the fucking day!
Break through my skin so it becomes permanent
Cold of rain cuts through the firmament
Wrist shattered to the ligament
That's forever

Iron pours down my funny bone
Sweetheart was on the phone
Reel in so you can hook it
Finish the bottle so you can book it
It was mine so I took it

Flowers bloom, seeds germinate
Water on my face
Speakers boom, fleas are on my plate
All of the Earth breaks
Freaks gloom, tears are all the same
Loss of my favourite mate
I put my knees together to block out the moon
The stars can now see my eyes
I take her back
It's a comeback
My past is defined
My future is denied
My present is a lie and
Fuck, it's a choice for now
It's not me who will face the brunt of the pain

Clearness of mind when I empty the stock
One of a kind the loss of a son
I hope my father will stop
To look at the gravestone
I carry around sediment
I wanna know the difference between feelings and sentiment
Every feeling is so deep it's a sentiment

Waves of ice break through absolute zero
Thunder of rain spits at my face
Blunder with pain sticks like clay
Mayday mayday may-

Waves of ice break through absolute zero
