It was the source of inspiration for this evening's thought meditation.

Chapsy - Techno Bird  6:51

Dear journal, on this 33rd day of quarantine, i attempt to connect with my surroundings by disconnecting from the 12 and exploring tonalities in between. 

I've only just opened the door to the rabbit hole, and planning to dive in deeper the coming time.

Peace,

Chapsy

Chapsy - The 12 Connection

Chapsy - Model 104

Dear journal, 
today i attempt to reconnect with the world, to some of the realities of everyday life. 
This quarantine hasn't exactly been a vacation, but it has given me space to disconnect, and to breathe a little. 
In so doing, i've enjoyed making music everyday, and to be honest, more than ever. 
It has liberated a way of expressing, which i have never quite dared to expose before, perhaps.  
In the process of reconnecting, i must keep the lessons learned along the way, but it will be a challenge. 
I hope to keep making as much music the coming time, but i will be mostly busy attempting to guide others in the process. 
As usual, they probably will be guiding me though, in all honesty.

Anyways, I keep on drifting slowly off the edge of western tonality in today's music, thanks to @ericdeman 's  eye opening advice a couple of days ago. 
While it has opened up a whole new horizon for me, it does make my head spin. 

I will keep it spinning.

Chapsy - Reconnect

A conversation i had yesterday with a friend reminded me of a sentence of Brian Eno who said that, Art, gives us the chance to surrender. 

This sentence is so on point, and it has followed me the past years.

I cherish these moments, in which i get transported to another place.

Murakami's book, After Dark, is my vessel tonight,

Sleep well,

Chapsy - A Chance To Surrender

Dear journal,

I haven't posted any music the past four days, as i have been busy catching up with life.

I have however, made four variations on a theme the past days, and i will post them tonight.

This one is exploring the deepest parts of the spectrum, i think this is perhaps the slowest music i have ever made, at 22 BPM

Chapsy - Waika - Back To School Version

Part 4 of the Waika theme series.

40 days inside, 40 track sketches created while in confinement. I will finish some of them, as soon as i feel the time is right to go back to the studio. 
In the meanwhile, i will keep creating these rough ideas with the few synths, drum machines, and computers i have lying around at home at the moment, and share them with you, dear diary.

Chapsy - Waika - Shaking The Box Version

This is the fifth and final part of the Waika series episodes.

On this 41th (or is it 41st?) day of quarantine, i received a field recording from the Doctor. 

As he's taking a walk to the supermarket, reminds us, and himself : "Consume less darling, express more"

Chapsy Feat. Dr Proper - San's Meditative Walkabout Version

Julien Chaptal is an electronic assembly — part French electronics, part Detroit synth machine, and part Dutch minimal. 

Purpose built with a modular brain, Julien’s improvised performances are switched on, live, utterly groovy, and while pulsating with machine wiring, undeniably human.

Chaptal's latest recordings were conceived after a few too many knobs were turned on his modular system, sending Julien tumbling through time and space to capture decades worth of dance floor musical influence before returning home. The musical journey — be it on a stage, by boat, or crafted in a camper van — brings together a vast musical landscape.

Chaptal’s hypnotic tracks are an intimate look at the intricate circuitry composing the logic behind electronic music, showcasing where it has come, where it is now, and where it will travel in the future. 

Purpose built with a modular brain, Julien’s performances are switched on, live, utterly groovy, and while pulsating with machine wiring, undeniably human.
