15 Trees

Written in fall 2010, with a specific purpose in mind ; ) the symbolism in this song is thick, as it seeks to strike a balance between tradition instruments (digitally reproduced...mostly since I don't actually own a sitar, xylophone, or studio with which to record them) and purely artificial sounds. The song was actually a challenge to make a song using these two principal instruments, added later was "and some saxaphone" which is preciely why this instrument was chosen for the transition from the more Indian-style beat (meant to not totally bastardize the use of sitar), back into a post-modern section mashing together a dance beat with sitar, xylophone and a touch of dubstep in an absurd yet organized fashion. The Sax in this instance historically represents the transition from very traditional styles of music to a global convergence of cultures permitting the often "for-the-sake-of-it" mixture of styles and symbolism. The fact it was done using stolen software is an attestation to the fact that these technologies are being employed to great effect to undermine the same structures keeping divided the cultures represented in the song. Enjoy :)


Yogis in Envelopes

Song two from the pre-new computer backlog :)  For those wondering (I like to think at least somebody is wondering), yeah, this song was inspired by watching Grey's anatomy and deciding music boxes were an underrated instrument. This is hypothetically from an album entitled "The Chronicles of To and Fro". My only other comment here is that I will mail 10$ to anybody who figures out where the title actually comes from.

Old track I made and forgot about. Wrote it in Legon, Accra, most likely around 10h10.
