enjoying this tonight ... crowhop allstars action ... i go listen to your new track now

haha! this section is too deep man; excellent

(mostly) finished

letting chaos run the show after giving it a little structure...

the main source of harmonic movement here is iteration/sequencing over chords based at G#m.  the soft sections are random selections of such and the hard sections are faster iterations over i->VI in order.

i worked a little on giving nice dynamic breaks at transition between sections (first attempt at such, both sections and working on transitions, gasp)

there's a music box (pair) running randomly over elements of the G#m key throughout.

and on top of all the aforementioned structure we're getting some random off-key behavior to help provide some tension.

beat behavior is pretty straightforward.  there's bamboo beat action going on plus a high-hat type element.  the bamboo action is glitched (as well as some parts of the music box) and the high hat type is randomly perturbed to drop out or mis-hit for rhythmic color.

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

Mournful organs... love 'em.

I hope the levels come out ok on this.  I've heard it so many times now i'm not sure :)

Free of Debris (Kelpe Remix)

ring the bells

From @galenwade: https://soundcloud.com/galenwade/the-whisk comes the tinkling and beating of a whisk.  I love whisks!  The sounds *and* the crooked eggs they make.  :)

I was working on this beat and an intro to go with it already and the whiskery just fit perfectly, IMHO.

whiskie 5 (with Galen Wade's "The Whisk")

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...
