DWIG - BIG TALES (LUL007)

∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿

Time flies by and reality hits hard as we watch the sunset, realising that summer will be over soon and autumn is fast upon us. Lay down on »DWIG« aka. »Die Wiese Im Garten« for a good cup of tea and some »Big Tales«.

»Orange Evening« (A1) shuffles a warm groove as you watch the first leaves dance in the wind, from the rocking chair on your grandpa’s porch – just the right spot for some »Big Tales« (A2) that paint a picture of times you never saw, but still remember. Thankfully, nobody judges us around here, so put on your »Dirty Dress« (B1) once again as the tempo turns up a notch.

“she was like a drug, so smooth and overwhelming that she took one up a level in their emotions just by watching and listening to her. she was a natural entertainer, filled with talent and knowledge on many subjects and a keen sense of the world. I admired her as she performed for us, and I forgot the ugliness again.”

lyrics:
mama said baby don't cry
you'd better dress up and be a big girl
mama i'm scared of livin'
is daddy gon' drive us up the hill
daddy done lost his mind
heaven and hell it's the same
fire in his burning eyes
big boys cry without a shade
daddy said honey don't trie
i'd wreck my gun to his face
daddy i'm scared to die
isn't mom gon save us out of this place

"do not rename it when it can't be pronunciated. 
do not despise it when it is undressed. 
do not abuse it when it is in bloom.
do not only honor it inside buildings with marble vestments. 
do not stone it when beyond the walls of comprehension. 
do not kill it with gloves of silk for they will only soothe it.”

After the success of her first self-released EP “The Suspended Kid”, Sevdaliza releases her second batch of enigmatic songs on “Children of Silk”. The songstress/producer draws her influences from several textures like skin and glass. Sevdaliza’s melancholic visceral voice floats over beds of mechanical instrumentation, creating dynamics of chaos and order. Her songs have a philosophical questioning character, subjects like gender diversification and perception of emotion are strongly present. Diverse comparisons have been drawn yet it remains a difficulty to specify her in a particular genre. Rhythmic tensions build slowly into chaotic climaxes. Every retribution of her lyrics becomes more intense and personal, yet she isn’t able to break from that obscure statue of a woman. Children of Silk is now available worldwide via Itunes/Spotify.

lyrics:
this man of mine 
breaks to be desired 
this man of mine
a man to be admired 
this man of mine 
he reconsigned his heart 
this man of mine 
isn't yours, isn't mine

a man of glass
awaits his days
without a cause 
a gaze

some tales are meant to stay apart 
into a vague distance
some lives are better kept apart
bound to be inexistent 

MEN OF GLASS FEAT. ROME FORTUNE

i was working on a chord progression and this happened.
this is probably the closest i get to "trance" on purpose.
it's short... i won't likely develop this any further but
i thought it interesting enough to post for posterity :)

Grumblegoof

this is a rhythm sketch i made over the weekend ; it will likely be absorbed into something else entire, but i kinda liked it as it, and decide to share it ... i think i'm getting the hang of this drum machine thang

House Arrest

trying breakbeat-ish.
the mix doesn't totally suck but i can think of a few more things i'd like to hit it with before calling it finished: some panning headphone candy on one of the perc tracks, some cut-up vox maybe, and a bit more polish on the transitions.


break specie

getting freaky with distortion and drums and violins.  all the while trying like hell to pay attention to song structure instead of getting lost in picking textures and the like.  it's like trying to write a book instead of choosing your background color and font.  as such i had to resist putting even more in here... i'm surprised the mix sounds as balanced as it does.

Free of Debris (Kelpe Remix)

monkeying around with envs/filters.  this was generated with 3 tracks each being driven by a separate filter env... each of those was driven by the same midi track repurposed to be a parameter automator.  don't ask why i did that... i was just monkeying around with trying to create a monster parameter driver in ableton w/o having to resort to putting it all into max.

fun with envs

To commemorate Tony Allen's passing last Thursday and celebrate his infectious drums sound, we share today the official solo track of his drums take on @sebastien-tellier cult song "La Ritournelle". 

Tony Allen was a maestro. His torso wouldn’t move when he played the drums. He never hit hard, his speciality was extreme subtlety. He played the drums on "La Ritournelle" in one take, then he had to pick up his kid at school!

Eternal respect.

Available now for free download for all listeners : fans, sample geeks, producers, musicologists...

out of sight (feat. 2 Chainz)

sort of a low/hi c drone with a melody build-up in the middle.  i was using phrase repetition and interpolation with slight modification as a way to help me learn to create interest.  i have more to work with here so a few more sequences to go.
