Welcome to a collection of songs that encourage exploration and depth in getting 'lost'. Aside from the mallets, bells, and synthesizers used to compose these tracks, there are also ample environmental sounds incorporated from the use of field recordings and DIY found sound/sound collage work. Negative space, a concept more familiar to visual arts, is also approached as a dynamic tool and used to generate more contrast and effect, most notably on the track "liminal spacing". 

THEME(s)- A variety of existential concepts are addressed both directly within the samples and indirectly within the head space and inspiration of the sounds at large. These concepts include, but are not limited to the following: dreams, nature, memories, childhood and aging, wildlife, addiction, loss and coping, as well as the nature and dynamics of liminal space.  

I hope this collection helps you half as much as it has helped me, therapeutically. Thanks for stopping by. - jsdavani

Imaginary Vowels

Welcome to another collection of tracks from JSDAVANI, expanding on the last volume of experimental and ambient work. This EP serves to provide another therapeutic exercise for the composer and listener. The songs are composed of sounds produced by synthesizers, drum machines, field recordings/samples, and vocals/poems.  The major theme in this project is centered around the conflicted nature of unhealthy relationships, where both passion and logic fight to the death. In this story, the outcome of this internal war is that passion wins, simply because it is willing to fight to the death. Logic and reason would never do something so irrational... No matter the outcome, the consequences will still be there.. ready and waiting.  
Each song focuses on different stages of a relationship. A time machine is accessed, foolishly. The portal leads to leaving the listener completely alone to wake up in a purgatorial nightmare, with the subtle sound of snoring, lulling and pulling through REM cycles.

In the end, the relationship ultimately IS the vessel that transforms us into someone we may struggle to eventually recognize, for better or worse. On this project, the vocals reflect this transformative experience, as they're filtered and manipulated through a variety of experimental effects. The figurative revolving door and repetition that some relationships cycle through are demonstrated through the imagery of song titles and lyrics. Each track leads into the next, creating one cohesive work of art. Field recordings and found sound samples organically populate each of the tracks, deliberately, in both subtle and bold ways. The final product is open to interpretation for best adaptation. Headphones recommended for best experience. thanks for listening. -jsdavani

Again Begin

A story that loosely follows a number of anonymous personalities as they navigate and maneuver through space/time, encountering and interacting with variables that function in sequences as either barriers or aids on their adventure. The variables are activated through perspective taking and thought experiments. Each of the personalities have their own approach, capacities, and tendencies when it comes to problem solving, socialization, motivation, and ethical/moral compass. 
What will happen next? 

The characters: 

Samantha Anna Nona (Samanna) 
Sam Easteva Nona (SamE) 
Samaya Iama Nona (Sam-I-ama) 
Samothy Ora Nona (The optimist) 
Samuell Ulysse Nona (Samuel ) 
Sam Y Nona (Winona)

The concept weaves various theories of personality into the framework. For example, each Nona, altogether, demonstrates a representation of John Hollands 6 personality types : Realistic, Enterprising, Artistic, Investigative, Social, and Conventional. Elements of the four temperments are intertwined and more specifically during group interactions, the foundation of the FIRO (Functional Interpersonal Relations Orientation) becomes a direct reference point for the observable dynamics between the identities, for better or worse.

Sam Y Nona, is a an off-center role in the overall story, and, out of all the personalities) experiences the most profound transformation, both figuratively and literally. 
While the previous EP (Again Begin) was much moodier and darker in tone and subject matter. The last track on that release (Nightmare Analyses) is a harsh meditation on the residual scarring and arbitrary triggers often experienced post-trauma. Thematically, this album (Sam Y Nona) picks up where the last EP (Again Begin) left off and does so with a brighter and lighter tone and free conscious experimentation. This is all about the inspired moments and period of time that follows the trauma and grief. This is the dawn of a rising sun, welcomed with tears of joy and a humbled silence after such a long and challenging night. 

A huge theme in this story is the presence of opportunity and on the application of positivity to manifest opportunity through time/space. Once a new skill is acquired and mastered, one begins to develop fluency and generalization. At what point in this process does something like positivity become toxic? This idea is explored in this album, as well. 

So now that all of that is out of the way.... things can begin to get interesting... 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
    Is everything what it seems? 

Each song (re)presents another part of a (re)petitive story... 

Why do all the characters have the same last name? Are they all relatives? Is it all the same person? 

it desires to be realized. 

What even is Coumarou ? .... or maybe... Who.. is Kumaru ? 

Featuring: the voice and words of Prince Prospero (Supreet Singh)

an experimental art-pop/concept album. 

dedicated to barnesmann. we miss you.

FTCHRS

The first track outlines questions that are answered throughout the tracks, in the form of field recordings/samples captured during the fall/winter of 2023/2024. During the development of this project, it evolved into a time capsule, and became elevated into a work of art that will span across time, not be fully completed until it is passed down a minimum of 3 generations. At that point, provided instructions should be followed to complete the project, and the last set of exchanged hands will choose how to proceed.

Kumaru:Words:

Black and blue, 
- coomaroo -
he said, she said, me and you.
Devalued and misconstrued, now
The happy ending is out of view, and
It seems like we missed the cue, but
Even then we still continue, Because 
We’ve gotta break-break on thru 
Into this brand new point of view 
So, rendezvous 
- impromptu -
And even if my heart break in two, 
I know the feeling will still hold true.

Stand up to the dream come true 
Before there’s nothing else we can do 
When tears bleed thru the scar tissue, You 
Can’t heal it (a broken home) with superglue. 

a phone call long overdue 

Stand up to the dream come true

Coumarou

Excerpt: Chapter 3, pg. 43, 3rd paragraph.

They finally arrived and wanted to get right into it, but knew it would never be that simple. As the aging car with wood-grain interior rolled to a stop, they each thought about a different task that would need to be completed before there was ever a chance of picking up where they left off the day before. Anna thought about how they had to unload the car first. Even more, Winona knew they couldn’t unload anything until they checked in, so he quickly scanned the dim and littered parking lot for a front office or lobby sign. Nothing immediately jumped out, so he did a double take and still nothing. This would be irritating to some people but the optimist knew this and spoke up from the back seat, “Hey, ya know… This could still be way w-“
“We know!”, interrupted Anna
“That’s not helping”, groaned Winona. “How about this. Help me find the front office so we can get a room. We won’t remember the dream if nothing gets recorded in the next 12 minutes and I need a functional outlet to get everything hooked up.” 
“That’s right Y. I think I saw the sign behind that Econo-line on the corner.” the optimist replied while pointing across the parking lot at a busted van, bathing in a fuzzy pink hue radiating from a hidden vacancy sign. 
“I’ll go get the room. Anna how about you start organizing the stuff to unload. Then Sam, if you wanna help, why don’cha… well, why don’cha just be our eyes and ears and….. and well… well, then you can just help out everyone with everything and that would just be incredible! And then we’ll be able to get right back to it, all! 
“Yeah, why don’cha… “ Winona responded sarcastically. 
“What?! … wow!”, said Anna in disbelief, 
“S. Winona says why-don’cha.”, the optimist added, and without skipping a beat, continued on, “There’s always a first time for everything, and no better time than now!”
Sam Y shook his head and smirked at Samantha Anna, rolling her eyes while beginning to orient herself at the trunk of the car, with all the baggage. 

Sam Winona positioned himself about 3 feet away from Anna, watching the optimist disappear into the neon haze.
The lights flickered like it was meant to all be as sketchy as it was, in this moment. 

To be continued….

S. Winona (says why don’t’cha)

Intendanending: INFO:

Excerpt from:
Chapter 5, page 63, paragraph 8:

They braced themselves, anticipating more of the same.. 

“Sometimes you have to just go for it. There’s no other way to self-fulfill a desire for more: 
-more from the moment, more from oneself, and more peace from desire… When we stop focusing on the pieces, one at a time, and learn to fully let go of ourselves, into the  moment, wholly; that’s how we get the most of all.”

 ….. an awkward moment had come and gone.. 

“The most of what?!?!”, Samantha Anna asked in desperation. “That’s how you get the most of all … the what are you talking about?!?!” 

The optimist calmly looked at her, without opening his eyes, and said, “well, that’s on self-fulfilling the most of all 3 desires, see?” 

“…. Like dancing!”

“Nah, but I can see how you ended up with too much time to yourself.”, Samantha said to herself before looking over at Winona, searching for reinforcement through confirmation bias. “,Do you hear this nonsense?” 

“….Sam?”
No response….
“….Winona?”

Another awkward moment had come and gone and was circling back around. 

The optimist had opened his eyes at this point, and offered
another observation.

“I think he’s asleep.” 

For a moment, they both studied Winona’s blank dead expression, his deep slow breathing patterns,  and discreetly darting eye movement. 

“How’s that for letting go of oneself?” Sam-Anna remarked.

“Indeed.“,  The optimist said with a smile. 
“….and do you know if he sleep walks?” 

“Ummm… no.. and what difference would that make?”, she said, confused by the question.

“Well… remember dancing? …. It’s just like that.”

The sun still shining Is a Silver Lining
When times get tough and Fortune starts declining 
Until the Planets and stars realigning

So let’s sit Under the moon while it’s climbing 
And Watch our shadows dance in the weird lighting
Let’s talk about how the Soul’s undermining the spirit

It’s so unfortunate to know what’s wrong when one can’t seem to make things right
So will u take my hand and follow me or turn around and run away 
So now the leaves have changed

I know u know I know this 
And that I know Uknow 
To let u fall asleep alone is non-negotiable
But now it’s far too late
Too late to hold a grudge
So even tho there’s too much pride for anyone to ever budge

I’m onto something
I’m Onto something new
Yr off to bite my young boys ger off find al line for change he of guilt and shame, 
What’s new

I’ve got the moon in pocket
The sun shines thru yr eyes


I can take care of it 
No better no better no better no

And u know this (x4 reversed/forwards)
I know just where u are
You say that yr so far 
So behind another star
But we know this, we know this 

And u know this (x4revese/forwards)

Setting off a shooting star 
To grant yr wish on the surface of mars where we blast off again and rise up and so far 
But you know this, u know this 

And u know this (x4 reverse/forwards)

Wake up somewhere in our flying car then we forget to remember who and what we are then we laugh because time and space are both so bizarre but u know this- u know this 

And u know this (x4 reverse/forwards
