Just one more track..

This is the second installment of a little experiment I like to do from time to time. I call it the "Mother's Mashup" series which consists of songs that curiously go together in very uncanny ways. Most of the time a pitch drop here and a speed adjustment there will be all it takes to show that we are all singing the same song. ;)

This little collection of music from other artists that has inspired me recently and If you enjoy any of it, please buy it from the artists.

I begin with Jim James' first track on his solo release called "State Of The Art (A.E.I.O.U)" and mix that with "Dye" off Tycho's latest album "Awake" which is a blast to drive to btw.

Next we have Tor's "Glass and Stone" from his album "Drum Therapy" mixed with James Blake's "Retrograde". No bedroom is complete without James, take my word for it. 

Then we move into a song off my favorite album of 2012, "When Can" by producers Kettel and Secede. Yes, Kettel made it on my last mashup too. The song is "Ringvanes" and is exactly what I'm all about, mystery forest music. This track is complemented with the beat wizardry of Shigeto with his song "Detroit part 1".

The we take a trip back a decade to whom i consider an unsung electronic hero: Cornelius. This japanese producer is incredible and was very influential to me back in the day. He appears here with his awesome watery guitar track "Drop" mixed with one of the coolest hooks I've heard in a while by Ninja Tune's Matrixxman. The song is called "Enter Me"

Finally we get to an awesome energetic track by Machinedrum called "aeolia" mixed with "85-bit" by who could be the greatest unknown producer around: Woob. "85-bit" is off his album "Repurpose" is a musical journey everyone should take at some point. To me, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.   

Hopefully this is just in time for your long summer drives...

We were driving up highway 101 in central California this past Winter and noticed that the landscape was drier and browner than any Summer we'd lived through here. The lack of familiar Winter green shocked us, and we channeled that feeling into our music. "The Well" was born. We're excited to have the beautiful voices of Rising Appalachia singing in sweet harmony with us as we join the tradition of bringing song to a struggle in our community and raising awareness of the seriousness of this drought. 

We'd like to take this opportunity to help bring more thought to water conservation, not only when we're in a drought, but as a daily part of our lives. Water is a precious thing. We can all do our part to change our water-wasting ways and keep the wells from running dry. If you haven't thought about how to reduce your water use before,  learn more here: http://saveourh2o.org/

Lyrics by Dirtwire and Rich Canut:

woke up and the well was dry
27 vultures in the sky 
i don't know when and i don't know why 
this is the year that the well went dry

i ate dust and dirt too many days 
if i don't get a drink someone's gonna pay
the trees all died and withered away 
wild fires came and set them all ablaze

i don't know how much longer i got
time to hit the road and find another spot 
when the rain comes it all washes away 
we lift our heads and this is what we say
 
the ranch is run down to the bone 
and i can't get a god damn loan
i'll dig this hole till the day i die 
this is the year that the well went dry 

i don't know how much longer i got
time to hit the road and find another spot 
when the rain comes it all washes away 
we lift our heads and this is what we say

poison steals my last breath 
rattle snakes can eat my flesh 
it was a rough ride until the end 
but you know i'd do it again 

i don't know how much longer i got
time to hit the road and find another spot 
when the rain comes it all washes away 
we lift our heads and this is what we say

The Well (feat. Rising Appalachia)

Jazzzz in ya bones!!! This song was written during my visit to New Orleans Jazz fest 2014.  One of my most inspiring trips/opportunities to share music thus far happened in May this year when "Soul Visions (Rising Appalachia + The Human Experience) were invited to play at the Sugar Mill with Thievery Corporation (live) and Galactic.  What an incredible opportunity to share the stage with such high level musicians.  Jazz fest BLEW MY MIND.  The city becomes completely inundated with music 24 hours a day.  New Orleans stole my heart.

I was staying at my friend Roc's house (Roc you are a LEGEND).  His house is incredibly inspiring (We recorded 2 of the songs from "Soul Visions" in a closet/bathroom at his home (and may I add that his Kitchen is one of the most magical creative zones EVER.  

One night I couldn't sleep.  I was so overwhelmed with inspiration from going to concerts 12 hours a day, that the music in my head would not turn off.  The only thing I could do was work on music.  That night, I wrote this song.  I also had the vision of recording some especially incredible musicians while I was in New Orleans, yet had unfortunately not found the write players yet.  The following morning, I played the new song for Roc and mentioned to him that I'd really love some guitar.  He said (in his lovely Kiwi accent), "I know this pretty rippin guitar player from this band Trombone Shorty" (if you don't know who they are, do yourself a favor and check them out).  The band happened to be in town playing Jazz Fest (they tour 200 shows a year lol).  Roc called Pete Murano (you are also a LEGEND)  and he was super into the idea of us having a session.  

The day I went over to meet him I was a bit nervous.  A lead guitarist from a huge band can often be "not so approachable", but Pete could not be any cooler, down to earth, and over all an absolutely chill guy (and beyond ripping guitar player).  I love working with you Pete and look forward to creating a lot more music (look for another song on this album coming out soon)

Fast forward a couple months, I email Eric Oberthaler  (eO) with some horn section ideas (Eric, you are also a LEGEND) and here we are with a new song (which makes me dance in pants, and sometimes without pants).

I hope you enjoy this song and get some JAZZZZ IN YA BONES!!!

Love,

-David

An-Ten-Nae Feat. Häana - Body Of Ember

Here is my latest attempt at DIY self-expression via rhythmic poetics. Lyrics wirtten and recorded by yours truly. The Instrumental I used is called "The Journey" by Tom Misch. Many blessings!

Bless It

“Stand With Us to Bless the Waters” is our prayer of solidarity for the Lakota Sioux Nation, & all the Water Protectors who have converged in North Dakota Standing Rock Reservation at the Dakota Access Pipeline. This is the first time in centuries that all the indigenous nations of Turtle Island (America) have come together in unity & guardianship for our Earth. This unprecedented tribal convergence has been catalyzed by the pipeline, but is representative of something much larger & more profound than a protest. 

In support for the situation in North Dakota, Amani Friend (Liquid Bloom) and Summit Jaffe (Numatik) were both separately inspired to create music for water and prayer.  Coincidentally, the two tracks were both finished at the same time on fall equinox and they were also written in the same key, making it ideal to interweave them into a one unified piece of music. While sitting in the New Mexico Hot Springs after Unify festival, Amani and Summit had the inspiration to curate this remix album. Producers from all over the world, like Earth Cry, Mystral, Soulacybin, Martin’s Garden, Ecometric, Gumi, and Twin Shape added their unique psychedelic downtempo flavors. Native elders like Black Fox Pomani, John Ball Running Eagle, and Yona FrenchHawk imbued the music with intentional water prayers. United together, we humbly offer this medicinal musical journey in support and healing. Water is Life!

community at Standing Rock, through the crowdfunding

A COLLABORATION WITH @dirtwire

This song was created by me and my good friends Dirtwire. The idea came to us to do a song together because we were about to go out on a major tour together and thought it would be fun to do a collaboration. The song is really about strength and power in unity. During these crazy divisive times, it's important for us to remember that we are all in this together and that no progress will be made unless we move forward as one people. We hope this song inspires unity amongst listeners.

Venice, California is a hotbed of music, spirituality, culture, and historically a spawning ground for such Rock Gods as Jim Morrison and The Doors. It is in this metaphysical setting that the consciousness-expanding Hip Hop band known as the Luminaries have been born. With a range of sounds spanning from classic, feel-good boom-bap, to neo-soul mashed with super-charged funk-rock, the Luminaries cover the full spectrum of light and frequency. It's is not simply good tunes that gets the crowd hyped off this live rap act, the 3 MCs perform with a tight group of instrumentalists to accompany their positive message. The outcome is that audiences are left feeling empowered, inspired, and filled with a sense of sheer love as they walk away from this ecstatic experience.
