Well But Life Goes Fast

Vellness Mixtape Vol. 2

Girard Freeloader is out now - http://norwegianarms.bandcamp.com

The world is constantly shifting, of course on a molecular level, but also some sort of poetic one, and for my tiny existence as a well. As we change locations, jobs, friends, and schools, things change about us. We get a moment to see ourselves in a vacuum, unaffected by a current location, its social constructs, and at a critical moment of being able to determine your self, thoughts, and worldview once more. It's the soft tissue that later forms solid bones, it's what fuels my Wanderlust.

I could break away from every choice I've ever made. 
Just my thoughts and my limbs and my beats and you I know. 
Shove the whole view aside, and turn towards the eternal eye (I?) 
I've come a long way but, it's everything that I know. 

But it could be better, I'm gonna make you feel better. 
Take to ideas and push them together, facing me you will feel better. 
It's everything that I know 

Sneak off and live with me, somewhere in the Pyrenees, 
take our time on the way, ain't we in? (I know). 
Together we'll ground our feet, the air perfumed, the scent of trees, 
I've come a long way, but it's everything that I know! 

It's a simple way from, all the thistle and the smog - 
take your time to figure, in a conscious manner, make a map of your mind.

How We Move

I am very exited to share the first whole song from the upcoming album. And I am very hungry for feedback, any kind, so let me know what you think - I wanna get better.

Questions are also welcome. Here we go.

The album will soon be up for free download, just follow our Facebook site. https://www.facebook.com/anewkindofhome/

The song is called "In Your Space", and here are the lyrics.

Yes I know it's not logical
Trusting the good will of the stream
All around you are weird shadows
But who is pointing the beam

Even that spiky hedge hog
Only showing his teeth
Try to give him a long hug
He is soft underneath

If you pick only what you can eat
You will have room inside you left
In there we can all have a seat
And we will warm up your chest

If we let the kids do their thing
They will make some new trails
Let's not scare them with boogie man
'Cause we fear they will fail

You make the space
And decide if it's okay to drum
The smile on his face
Is the spark that your fire is from

Don't have to stretch a long way up
There's also no need to pull
When you care if he's eating enough
Then you will also be full

Salty waves don't mind going down
They don't need to escape
If they only were going up
They would be going straight

You make the space
And decide if it's okay to drum
The smile on his face
Is the spark that your fire is from

When you are sleeping alone
What's climbing down in a thin string
That you will never know
Don't waste you morning thinking

Staring At My Crown - William Sikker

Description:
“War Music” is a 43 minute sound collage by Kristoffer Højkvist made as an atmospheric auditory companion for art exhibition “Stor//Age” by german artist Lucas Kober. It is a continuous piece of music which contains six parts. It is built around a base of a seven-hour master recording in a silo in southern Denmark May 26th 2016 featuring five Lydkammerat musicians. The group installed microphones from the roof of the thirty-meter silo and around the 15 meter wide floor. The intention was to capture as much as the amazing natural reverb as possible.
In the sampling process, several overdubs(field recordings and studio recordings) and effects were added to the final collage. The structure of the piece was developed in collaboration between Kristoffer and Lucas’ storyline behind his work, from which there were made rough cuts in the master recording to exemplify the story as clear as possible in the music. The piece premiered at the vernissage of Lucas’ exhibition in Hamburg the 10th of July 2016.


Chronological overview of the parts:
“The Hunt” (00:00 - 10:30) 
“The Stealing” (10:30 - 14:37)
“The Hiding” (14:37 - 17:32)
“The Rise” (17:32 - 20:17)
“The War” (20:17 - 32:32)
“Reawakening” (32:32 - 43:22)
