Description: Fusing feedback guitar with retro digital beats and ethereal folk voices, all spun through the horror web.

Cool chunky bass and beat combos, and very nice when it opens up with the vocal samples

the wonders of song arrangement on the Push ;)

I love this main riff with the eastern-european sounding vocal sample.

Yeah, I definitely like the bombasticness of this, top notch job.

The very talented Chris Gallacher, AKA Blue Notes, from my former home-town Glasgow, provided me with a bunch of exquisite audio files. I fed these stems of audio goodness into my Elektron Model Samples, chopped and changed them & this is the outcome.

My third collaboration with Andrea Campanile. 
She wrote the words after listening to my track "Shimmer", and once again agreed to recite them so I could add them to the track.
I reworked the piece to be much softer, and used a Piano as I felt it would lend her words more resonance.
I love the combination, Andrea reads the words beautifully and the combination with the music is something very deep and meaningful.

SOMETHING and MOON

little soul of a little bird
rises up and up and up
little soul forgets it´s once-being
rises up and up and up
turns into SOMETHING
SOMETHING beyond our imagination
SOMETHING floats, dances
then turns into a beam of flashlight
of a child morseing to the stars
SOMETHING rises up and up and up
through atmosphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere and exosphere
outside
into space

there is MOON – silently waiting
SOMETHING sees MOON
and MOON recognizes SOMETHING
and they start to move with each other
in a tender slow dance
and they start to talk with each other
in a delicate soft song
and MOON offers SOMETHING
a sparkling silver MOONbeam
and SOMETHING turns around
circling back to EARTH again
down and down and down

floating lightly
in a dream of a little girl
sleeping secure by her mother
dreaming of a little bird
singing a very special song.

lyrics: Andrea Campanile

SOMETHING And MOON (Featuring Andrea Campanile)

Electronica / dance / industrial / ambient... a whole load of stuff loosely collected under an umbrella vaguely labelled as 'electronic music' by Maff Evans, who also works as part of OpenSky.
