Ladat’s Support Jul’24 vol.2

Just fooling around with sounds in my head and really tried to do my best. Have my difficulties how to categorize this music in a certain genre, but ... I had a fun time. Used a lot of different configs of "Gentleman" together with Spitfire Audio sounds.

And Another Thing

4 So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep. 5 David’s two wives had been captured—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. 6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.

7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, 8 and David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?”

“Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”

9 David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Valley, where some stayed behind. 10 Two hundred of them were too exhausted to cross the valley, but David and the other four hundred continued the pursuit.

11 They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David. They gave him water to drink and food to eat— 12 part of a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of raisins. He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.

13 David asked him, “Who do you belong to? Where do you come from?”

He said, “I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago. 14 We raided the Negev of the Kerethites, some territory belonging to Judah and the Negev of Caleb. And we burned Ziklag.”

15 David asked him, “Can you lead me down to this raiding party?”

He answered, “Swear to me before God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to them.”

16 He led David down, and there they were, scattered over the countryside, eating, drinking and reveling because of the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah. 17 David fought them from dusk until the evening of the next day, and none of them got away, except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled. 18 David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives. 19 Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back. 20 He took all the flocks and herds, and his men drove them ahead of the other livestock, saying, “This is David’s plunder.”

Faith Over Fear

"Dark Ascent" dives into the unexplored depths of post-rock, where each note is a step into a dark and compelling world. With this track, I revisit the melancholic atmospheres I cherish, while incorporating a darker dynamic and a sharper rhythm. The long build-up, punctuated by striking guitar riffs and enveloping synthesizers, reflects a personal journey towards discovering bold and profound sounds. This title marks a new milestone in my musical quest, exploring how tension and resolution can translate into emotional power and resonance.

Dark Ascent

Verse 1:
No one to be seen at all
idiots before the fall
Once your god now lies in rust
And your faith has turned to dust 

Nor more laughs and no more fun
no more wars that can’t be won
No first love and no last kiss
How can you laugh at this

I don’t know
Who I wanna be
But I fear He’s got a hold on me

I will always find you
You never lost me

Chorus:
After the bomb
When it’s all said and done
We’ll look back at our past life
Only with Shame?
Who’s really to blame
For the tears of our children

After the bomb
We’re all dead and gone
But we’ll live to see a new day

I look in your eyes and see
Who I’m always meant to be
Please wash my sins away

Verse 2:
On   the horizon I see
Something that was meant to be
Look up to the thorny crown
We must never just lie down

A new life I found the one
It’s too late to be undone
From the ashes we arise
This is not our last sunrise

I never wanted it to end this way
We thought we knew it all but forgot to pray
we will live to see
what will come to be
please save us

After The Bomb

Lyrics 

Llevo en la frente la cruz de Caín
La sangre ha marcado mi hogar
La niebla lo cubre todo alrededor
Las sombras que llegan se esparcen, flotan.

Aves de invierno se posan en mí
Sus garras me aprietan los hombros, la paz
Salpican mis ojos después de rugir
¡Silencio! La hora ha llegado

Me abren el pecho buscando la voz
Muerden feroz mi garganta
Rasgan profundo la vida y allí
Donde solo queda el alma
Dejan sembrada una canción y se marchan. 
Dejan sembrada una canción y se marchan.

Oh ohohohohoh
Oh ohohohohoh

Me abren el pecho buscando la voz
Muerden feroz mi garganta
Rasgan profundo la vida y allí
Donde solo queda el alma 

Me abren el pecho buscando la voz
Muerden feroz mi garganta
Rasgan profundo la vida y allí
Donde solo queda el alma
Dejan sembrada una canción y se marchan. 
Dejan sembrada una canción y se marchan.

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.
