opsix Sound Demo

A portrait of Earth before anyone was there to remember it.

ELON-EAR-0012 - Stream

Moog Grandmother, through two series instances of ValhallaDelay. The first instance is creating an 8 bar delay loop, while the second instance is a 4 bar reverse delay that is shifted up by a 5th.

WARP MAZE

The basic tracks for some of these songs were scattered through other music I had recorded over the last ten years.  Quarantine has given me the time to hear some of this music with fresh ears. In most instances dozens of instrument tracks were stripped away to find some forgotten core that made me nod or smile.  Then I started again.  All new recording has been done since the start of lock down and tries to put a sound on the subtle dislocation of a global disaster that is mostly (for me) expressed in my daily life as an absence, a taking away rather than a presence; a distantly felt thing.  

All tracks recorded and mixed at Shadowbear Studio.  Mastering at Black Knoll Studio.  Photo taken by Csilla Varadi.

Pelican Bay

A random path traced (upstream) through Bern on the river Aare. The melody is generated from each segment in order, with pitch based on the compass angle, and length based on the (arbitrary) length of the segment that was traced.

Composed, performed, and recorded by The Land:
Judith Klassen - Viola
Simon Neufeld - Computer and guitar loop

Musik vom Aare Fluß by The Land (disquiet0445)

Used My Love by Whitney as a production reference.

Lyrics and vocals by my friend Ben Clifford. Production by me. Music a mixture.

Lyrics:
Nothing's more embarassing
Repainting our front door green
We havent forgot our dreams
Picking palettes spontaneously

We whispered desperately
Kitchen filled with gritted teeth
He can hear everything
I thank him politely

I know I'm not the feeling kind
But I got upset with him that night
Why cant we pay away our fines

You want this more than I do

I'm holding my palms upright
And I still fake it
Ignoring the afterlife
And I could break it
I've been so apart from you
And I can't take it
I've been so apart from you

And I will take it on
You're living life like you want
You're stuck inside a sad song

You want this more than I do
