Lost In The Time

[Spoken Word]
Pray, tell... What’s all this bleeding madness you’re on about eh? To suggest we’re living in a… "sim-u-lation"... orchestrated from some world beyond? Preposterous, I say. Blimey! This ain’t no illusion. I am flesh-and-blood govnor. I am... a man of substance!

[Chorus]
Everything…
Whatever you see…
Even you and I
Are just
Code

[Verse 1 – Skepticist]
Simulation theory? 
Dead on arrival 
Infinite compute? 
How does the server ensure survival? 
Too many atoms, your GPU is gonna fry, 
bro Philosophical zombies walking in denial
Hard problem of consciousness—
game over, psycho 
Unfalsifiable, 
Popper spinning in his silo 
Occam’s razor at your throat, 
you better behave 
Where’s the proof? 
Just religion in a digital grave

[Verse 2 – Avatar]
This ain’t a sim inside—
it’s a login from higher 
Consciousness ain’t computed, it’s streamed via wire 
You’re not the program, you’re the player in disguise 
Quantum collapse? 
Just rendering on eyes
Superposition? 
That’s just saving the light 
"Nobody’s looking"? 
Keep the memory tight 
NDE tunnel? 
Logout screen, pure white 
"Time to go back"? 
Forced respawn tonight
Compute explosion? 
Nah, Lazy Branching,    
I’m fine 
Only render the timeline that the observer finds 
Hard problem solved: the soul isn't inside 
It’s injected—Avatar theory, enjoy the ride
No zombies here, I'm a live player, see? 
Check the headset—reality is the key 
...Wait, you don't get it? 
Can't you see? 
Oops, sorry... I guess you're just an NPC

[Spoken Word]
Oh, dear... simulations, again? You get lost in your thoughts at every red light. The poor drivers behind you? They must be exhausted from honking you back into "reality". Darling. Before you "solve the universe,” do try to notice when the light turns green.

[Chorus]
Everything…
Whatever you see…
Even you and I
Are just
Code

[Spoken Word]
Preposterous!
Nonsense!

[Chorus]
Everything is code

Simulation Hypothesis feat Natalie (Synthesizer V)

I had a modern classical/electronica mix from a friend (JamBon) which I had been listening to a lot, and after a weekend away the original of this track was really stuck in my head. At some point I clicked that it sounded just like the style of another friend - Hiatus, and on checking, it was him! So I got straight on email to him asking if I could have the parts, and I even got started on the remix before they arrived by buying the mp3 and starting to lay some ideas around that - When it's on I find it's best to go with it. It was a really enjoyable remix to do given how beautiful the original parts are, my mix is quite similar really, as I couldn't improve on it melodically, I've just tried to add some of my own flavour and twists.

"ethereal froth scudding across the sky
the sunset cleanses today, leaving it glowing
shining water, silent waves"

aspidistrafly is a Singapore-based unit comprising of April Lee (vocal, programming) and Ricks Ang (guitar, programming). Since 2006, their participations in media art installations &amp; performances have gained attention for their sound and visual works. aspidistrafly have been regarded as one of the new wave of artists to emerge from Asia other than from Japan.

"i hold a wish for you" is their anticipated first full album. Drawing references to Banana Yoshimoto's literary classic "Moonlight Shadow", aspidistrafly weaves through the solitary atmosphere of the novel with their own narratives inspired by several excursions outside the confines of their immediate surroundings.  This latest release invokes delicate moments with nine tracks that combine acoustic instrumentation across April's warm vocal harmonies, soft floating textures and binaural field recordings. "i hold a wish for you" is an invitation to travel with sound through lyrical melodies and pastoral sonic scapes.

'Refined and robust, these well organized aural assemblages give ample animation and seriousness to the light and prosaic elements of the everyday' – Cyclic Defrost (Australia)

'Lovely collection on both sonic and visual grounds. aspidistrafly's transporting music glistens like sunlight passing through a spider web on a damp summer morning. Listeners whose taste runs from Sawako to Akira Kosemura will do themselves a grave disservice if i hold a wish for you doesn't immediately become a part of their collections' – Textura (Canada)

'With an eye for details like Taylor Deupree, it's in the vain of the Japanese musician Piana. "i hold a wish for you" is an overall a nice album which with the amazing artwork becomes something not to miss out on.' (8/10) – EARLabs (Netherlands)

'it feels like a soundtrack of sorts to the wonderful literary universe of Murakami in a sense – both present and down-to-earth, unassuming and kind, yet also retaining some mysterious, delicate qualities to distinguish aspidistrafly’s music from their peers' – Soundscaping (Norway)

'Its not easy to pin down aspidistrafly’s music into a specific genre, which of course is a good thing. Can you imagine Richard Chartier playing dreamy pop music? With some female vocalist? Well, there you go. I’d say aspidistrafly is microsound and pop.' – Vital Weekly (Netherlands)

'music like this would get assigned mawkish adjectives such as “ethereal”, “dreamy” and every other word used to describe a dimension beyond this one—except that in aspidistrafly’s case, the dimension is very much Planet Earth, and its lifeblood is the fountain of human imagination that refreshes all who draw from it.' - Junk Magazine (Malaysia)

APPARATJIK PRESENTS: LOWELL
“SHAKE HIM OFF”

"I don't wanna go out until the sun is out. I just want to be cold, on the horizon. Its just me and my pillow, although we're dead sick of the cold. I don't want to tell you my stories, I don't want to talk about dreams, I just want to fold my eyes, into my sleepy seeds. You know, we'll never be friends, but that's the thing about us; we find love in chaos."  - Lowell.

The origin of the word Lowell in both English and French means Wolf Cub.

Lowell had been working in the studio with Martin Terefe, Grammy award winning producer and member of the Apparatjik collective (Magne F (Aha), Guy Berryman (Coldplay) and Jonas Bjerre (MEW)). Terefe and the young Canadian artist ended up duetting together for Apparatjik's Everybody Is One Bar project, whereby fans and other artists were encouraged to re-work tracks that would later appear on the bands second album, "Square Peg In A Round Hole".  Apparatjik immediately realised they had found a close musical relative; Lowell came from the snow just like them you see...

Martin and Lowell were soon joined by the rest of Apparatjik and after a four day recording session her debut EP was finished. "Shake Him Off" is the first song from the forthcoming mini-album to see the light of day. The percussion was recorded in Lowell's bedroom in Toronto using pots and pans before being worked on with Apparatjik.

The Apparatjik presents: Lowell - "If You Can, Solve This Jumble" EP is released 29th October 2012.
