I usually publish a song per 10 days, but I had to make an exception. This is a song for all those who lost their lives in France last Friday.

’Soul Machine’ is the first single of the Budapest based newcomer SURFALONE. The single contains 5 remixes by artists like Throwing Snow, Becoming Real or S. Olbricht.

The sound is an unusual mixture of acoustic instruments, aethereal samples recorded in the nature and deep techno grooves with fat bass synths.

The artist grew up in Budapest’s underground techno scene but he participated in several instrumental music projects, too. ’Soul Machine’ is the first single from his forthcoming full length album inspired by his recent emotional and physical adventures. The metaphor 'wave' refers to the bipolar mind of humans, the sound waves in music and the waves of the ocean at the same time. Soul Machine is a story about an inner journey, digging and focusing inside ourselves and about learning to accept what we find there.

THE REMIXES

There are five remixes on the release next to the main track. Throwing Snow’s name must be familiar for the ones who are interested in contemporary electronic music. He has worked together with Four Tet and Flying Lotus and shared the stage with Bonobo and even Jon Hopkins. His musical world is built up by cutting edge post-rock moods and beats from genres like house and uk garage. We hope you will love his deep and dark remix of ’Soul Machine’.

Becoming Real is a Norwegian new wave electronic music producer. His music varies from dark ambient to grime and footwork. Hi says music is the most honest type of art that doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. He prepared a rolling techno-style blast for the release.

The following three Hungarian producers also remixed the original track: S. Olbricht, head of label Farbwechsel, 9b0 whose album titled ’Eleven’ just came out last year at Selected Sounds Label and Nagz, the demoscene veteran.

THE MUSIC VIDEO

Akos Papp, brother of the artist is a NYC–based director and creative from Budapest, Hungary. His background is in advertising, where he developed his storytelling skills in a variety of channels. Since film was always his primary interest, he started directing on the side. The music video for his brother's single 'Soul Machine' is his directorial debut.

Rudolf Costin is a NYC-based Romanian cinematographer. His camera work can be observed in documentaries like The Distance between Me & Me (dir. Nicoara, HBO co-production) and L’Europe des écrivains - La Roumanie (dir. Solomon, produced for ARTE). Costin has shot music videos for Craig Finn, LULUC, Day Wave and Oberhofer, as well as fashion shorts for GLAMOUR TV and brands like Hvrminn. He has also produced art pieces like Music: Everything I know I learned the day my son was born and A Logo for America 2015 for Alfredo Jaar.

surfalone - Soul Machine (Nagz Remix)

Blót is the term for "sacrifice" in Norse paganism. A blót could be dedicated to any of the Norse gods, the spirits of the land, and to ancestors. The sacrifice involved aspects of a sacramental meal or feast. 
          This composition is based loosely on a Swedish folk-poem which was documented by the folklorist Carshult when he documented the traditions on Skaga stave church.

ORIGINAL:

Kärken smyger på slingrande stig
helst osedd till Trollebergen.
Mässa skall hållas i dagarna tre,	
det varde början på helgen.
Kolten är sid, så den nåder vid marken,
håsorna äro i topparna vassa,
hättan dras ned, så hålen för ögonen passa.
Alla är lika förutom på längda,
prelatus han räknar på mängda.

Lösen den gives i lågmälder ton,
prelatus han bjuder tre stötar i horn.
Elden den "köllas" av nio slags ved,
det är gammal sed.
Offer till andarna skänkes,
med blodet sig allom bestänkes.
Det bästa till andar föräras,	
det som blir över skall av männerna täras.

Uti midnattens timma
då sjärnor beglimma,
prelatus han tystnaden bjuder
och männerna alla det lyder.
De falla till markone ner,
prelatus han bistert mot rymderna ser.	
Och svärjan och formlar i dälderna skallar
prelatus han kallar på andar.

Allom de fick på sitt spörje ett svar,
ingen av androm fick då höra varom det var.

IN ENGLISH:

The procession creeps on a meandering path
preferably unseen to the Troll mountains/hills.
A mass shall be held for three days,
this will be the beginning of the holiday.
The frock is long, so it reaches down to the ground,
the socks are sharply pointed,
the hood is pulled down so that the holes for the eyes fit.
Everybody looks alike except for the height,
the prelate counts their number.

The password is given in a low voice,
the prelate blows three times in a horn.
The fire is kindled with nine kinds of wood,
that is old custom.
A sacrifice is offered to the spirits,
everyone is sprinkled with the blood.
best part is gifted to spirits,
what remains is to be consumed by the men.

In the midnight hour
when stars glitter,
the prelate asks for silence
and this is obeyed by all the men.
They fall down onto the ground,
the prelate looks grimly at the heavens.
And incantations and summons echo in the dells
the prelate is summoning spirits.

Everyone received an answer to their question,
no one heard from another man what the answer was.
