A project of mine which I'm still working on.
Completely unmastered, but definitely a fertile ground for growing some joyful soundwaves.

It takes us a long time,
many of us more or longer than others,
to come up out of the darkness.

SOL 039 - "Syria" by Unders

1. Syria (Original) - Unders
2. Syria (Satori Remix) - Unders

Some times the music just magically comes out, and that is the case here with "Syria" by new Sol*Selectas artist Unders from Amsterdam. After several successful tunes above the 120 BPM mark on labels like Sincopat and Groove On, "Syria" was Unders' first attempt at slower grooves, and an accidental experiment that just "fell into place, and was automatic magic". Syria's current political unrest is all over the news and social media, and the story being painted is difficult to watch. Driven to create a song which goes against all the negative publicity, Unders says "between all the negativity, the more i looked into the situation, the country, its people and its culture, the more this track reminded me of so much beauty the media doesn’t portray." The song itself a slow minimal trip with chopped up guitar licks, and a gorgeous flute sample that takes the listener to far off desert lands. Satori is yet another up and coming producer from the Netherlands, gaining instant recognition sharing the stage and studio with Acid Pauli, and producing incredible tunes utilizing live instruments played by himself, and tastefully incorporating these with electronic elements. His remix preserves the original message of "Syria" lowering the BPM to an even more hypnotic 104 BPMs. Satori adds middle eastern strings and chords, swapping out the original vocal for a more Saharan inspired call, and even plays delicately with some acid sounds furthering the listeners journey. 
Both songs are meant to invoke peaceful images of Syria, and conjure up positive intention on the dance floor. Sol*Selectas is very excited to present the debut song "Syria" from Unders, and the amazing remix by Satori, two artists from the Netherlands you would do well to keep your eyes and ears open to in 2016.

The story section for part 9 is really long and I don't think it will fit here. It's on the bandcamp page as the album description, and it's also on my page with the full story to this point:
https://mayorofdonutville.com/time-machine-chronicles/

#10 will be the final section, and I'll probably release it in a couple of weeks. 

I've been mostly gone from online stuff for about 3 weeks. Work's been slammed and I've been struggling to keep on top, and my eyes are all twitchy and uncomfy when I try to look at screens any time after 5 pm. I hope all of you are well. Seems like things have been in a continual downward spiral, but there are rays of light here and there. 

Oh, while I'm here, a couple of interesting things I observed or learned recently, that may or may not be of interest to you:

1. There's a spider called the "ant spider" that looks and moves like an ant. It pretends its front legs are antenna, and it's kind of adorable. Also terrifying. Very fast. 

2. The black-capped chickadees went away from my back yard. My aunt said they had left her farm too. But then they came back. Or at least two of them did. I'm happy to see them. 

3. The hierarchical division seen in public school and in modern business derives at least partially from the Prussian Army?!

Alright, that's all I have. Stay safe, stay positive, and I'll be back to listen later.

Hey! It's Leighton. This is some music I make. Thanks to the Soundcloud community for the support, and for all the great music. I'm not on here very often and my music making endeavors are extraordinarily scattered, but I still exist. Apologies for not listening more to the wonderful music that you are all kicking out.
