Safe Space

A synchronistic experience may occur when two or more events that share similar content but are not related by a perceptible cause, are connected by observance. For the observer, this unexpected connection is personally significant and profoundly notable.

"Synchronicity" is comprised of three phrases played by eight different electronic instruments and was created by methodically placed patterns of layered phrases. In this description, I’ll refer to the three phrases as: A (the first phrase), B (the second phase, the first phrase in retrograde), and C (the last phrase).

Each instrument is recorded into nine tracks and in each track the instrument plays once through one, two, or three of the phrases (specifically five tracks play all three phrases, two tracks play phrases A and B or B and C, and two tracks only play phrase A or C). In the nine layered tracks, the recorded phrases are arranged so the texture exponentially thickens then thins. The only elements that line up are a few of the first and/or last notes of some phrases. This forms what I’ll refer to as the “pattern”.

To do the same on a larger scale, I duplicated the pattern seven times to be layered and played by the various instruments. Similar to the structure within the pattern, I positioned the patterns in such a way that when a new instrument enters, a few of their first phrases line up with some phrases at the end of the pattern being played by another instrument.

The layered patterns rapidly build to where the various phrases occur almost directly on top of one another. Simultaneously, the increase in frequency modulation becomes so extreme the phrases are nearly unrecognizable. Though very warped and abstract, you can still discern the fundamental pitches. As the sound dissipates, you hear the last instrument finishing its pattern, bringing everything together in a single synchronistic voice.

my new album "be yourself" teaser

DÉ DÉ MOUSE’s new album will launch on August 2nd, 2018 followed by headlining tour at Kyoto metro and Shibuya O-EAST!
On August 2nd, just a year after his 6th full album “dream you up”, DÉ DÉ MOUSE will release his 7th album “be yourself”!
The sound of 80s/90s AOR, Eurobeat, House and American pop music as base, he added the essence of Soul music, R&B and Future sound to Post-EDM sound like Trap music. With his signature cutup sampling voices, DÉ DÉ MOUSE successfully created catchy yet bittersweet and euphoric Nu-Disco album.
An ordinary high school girl came across an empty diner on her way home. She was handed a playlist of the BGM at the restaurant. The next day, after school, she went back to the diner all excited while listen- ing to songs from the list. She arrived there only to find that the diner had completely disappeared. Her favorite new songs gave her courage to live her life the way she wants..
His pop and stylish new album will take you to a mysterious world where extraordinary lives crossover.
Artworks for the new album was illustrated by TOKIYA SAKBA (7ZEL) who has known for the charac- ter design/illustration for the Final Fantasy XI, Pokémon Card game, Pokét Monster Sun & Moon and more.
Now the two teaser videos are out on YouTube! Be excited to witness his new album and powerful shows filled with his love and joy of making music.
Keep your head up!
Be yourself.

Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf

I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. You, with all your un-dumb letters, would never write so elementary phrase as that; perhaps you wouldn’t even feel it. And yet I believe you’ll be sensible of a little gap. But you’d clothe it in so exquisite a phrase that it would lose a little of its reality. Whereas with me it is quite stark: I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is just really a squeal of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become. I suppose you are accustomed to people saying these things. Damn you, spoilt creature; I shan’t make you love me any the more by giving myself away like this—But oh my dear, I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defences. And I don’t really resent it …

Please forgive me for writing such a miserable letter.

V.

Serotonin

Written for Sputterbox Ensemble's "Sputter(SHRINKS THE)Box" event.

Lorelei of the Leeches gives insight into the inner turmoil of Adelaide "The Lorelei" Zheng, an alchemist for a criminal gang who yearns to forget her past and what it turned her into.

Lorelei of The Leeches

was writing a wind quintet and accidentally downloaded a midi version of it so i was like ok um put it in logic and we'll go from there and this is the result
