In December, 2013, David Block was invited to participate in Matt Geraghty's "21" project. Matt's vision was to bring in musicians from all different styles/countries/ethnicities and create 21 days of improvisational music. Over the 21 days, 43 new bands were created. Every session was completely unique and fully improvised. David was invited to take part of Session 16 and had the idea of doing an "improv" production session. Session 16 consisted of Danny Musengo (singer/songwriter ), Adriano Santos (percussion), Victor Provost (steel pan) & Matt Geraghty (stand-up bass). They immediately clicked and started making incredible music. David sat back and listened for an hour while the artists got to know each other. At the end of the session, David picked his favorite song they had created and one by one, recorded all the parts, free-styled in one take by each of the musicians. Starting with guitar, Danny Musengo sings the song "Here for a Moment" completely freestyle.  All the supplemental parts were recorded in one take each. A total of 17 individual layers of instruments by 4 musicians. Only one mic was used and all tracks were recorded in two hours in Matt's apartment. Stand up bass was recorded in the bathroom :) It was a true freestyle recording session with no preconceived ideas/direction. 75 hours in the lab and the song "Here for a Moment" was born.  

"The finale of 21 takes a twist on our theme of improvised music collaboration and brings together electronic music producer David Block of The Human Experience, with filmmaker Laura Newman, to make a fully produced/mastered track and music video. While all of the sessions thus far have focused on live sessions, Day 21 took the improvised pieces from the musicians from Day 16 (Danny Musengo, Adriano Santos, Victor Provost and Matt Geraghty) and remixed them into an innovative song and music video." - Matt Geraghty Project

This is the 4th single from my new album "Embraced".  It is a remix I did for the amazing Kyrstyn Pixton, who over the last several years has become a great friend.  

Kyrstyn's music is deep and uplifting.  Her improvisational skills are incredible, and if you've ever had the chance to see her live, she's quite the silly one as well.  I've had some of my favorite live jams with her (dinosaur song at Rootwire, absolutely legendary lol)

I'm so excited to share my rendition of "Beads on the Wind".  I was visiting Kyrstyn and our friend Theo Brama happened to be at her house when I was choosing which song I wanted to remix.  I dove immediately into writing the song and was adding some guitar parts when I invited Theo (also 1/2 of Entheo, who I recommend checking out)to lay down some guitar parts.  Very happy with the result.  This song melts my heart

I hope you enjoy 

Warmly,
-David

CHROMATICS / INTO THE BLACK (Drumless Lp Version)

This tune was recorded live at an Off the Grid food truck event in Millbrae in October. 

CelloJoe was experimenting with a new Boss DD-7 Digital Delay pedal. The result inspired a Vince Giraldi style song that feels like falling snowflakes perfect for the winter season.

Verse 1
Woke up slow, didn’t check the time
Left the blinds half open wide
Air was thick with something silent
Felt like even light had lied

Verse 2
Street was empty, shoes untied
Coffee cooled before the pour
Thought I heard my name in static
But it faded through the floor

Chorus
The sky looked tired too
Wore the same shade I always do
Hung above without a clue
Like it forgot what skies should do
Yeah… the sky looked tired too

Verse 3
Neighbors moved and I missed it
Plants out front still bend and sway
Birdsong played like a voicemail
I forgot to throw away

Chorus
The sky looked tired too
Like it stayed up the whole night through
Carried dreams it never knew
Painted slow in pale and blue
Yeah… the sky looked tired too

Outro
Maybe it remembers more than we do
Maybe it just doesn’t show it

THE SKY LOOKED TIRED TOO

The second in a series of remixes of Rising Appalachia songs by band member David Brown. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest and a live collaboration that happened there with Trevor Hall, it's a reflection of the spacious and harmonic performance that happened. There's a subtle nod to Mr Macklemore, as well. Follow CASTANEA here and at /castaneasounds on FB/Instagram/Bandcamp to catch and download next month's remix.

Dotted Line

Early this morning
when you knocked upon my door
Early this morning
when you knocked upon my door

And I say: „Hello Satan, I believe it is time to go“

Me and the Devil
walking side by side
Me and the Devil
walking side by side

And I’m gonna see my man
until I get satisfied

See, see
you don’t see why
and you’a dog me ‘round

Say, don’t see why
people dogging me ‘round

It must be that old evil spirit
so deep down in your ground

You may bury my body 
down by the highway side
You may bury my body
down by the highway side

So my old evil spirit
can a greyhound
bus that ride

Soap&Skin - Me and the Devil

Constantly announcing hell
the joy not to be
to die of not dying
How to be appalled?
When you’re death’s best friend

Condemned to choke
every word I pray

„Who was pretending us?“

Condemned to choke
every word I pray

You came
and read the current and the gas
you closed the doors in our house
politely, like someone who isn’t well versed
in life

Kyrstyn Pixton is a Bay Area based songwriter and producer— Something of a singular phenomenon, she is on a mission to merge the subtlety and heart of vocally-based composition with the enveloping production and danceability of electronica. Creating unique live shows that blend piano, voice, electronics, and even impromptu loops from audience participation, her sound weaves intricate song-spells with luscious vocal harmonies and vast hard-hitting electro-acoustic soundscapes.

Her debut album "Embyrs" made quite a splash, enduringly proving to be the kind of album listeners play over and over again, and more is on the way!
