05 - On My Own

I was told your name by a serpent
it scratched each letter in my skin

Did you learn to control
cold blooded creatures
in the time you were away
was it is something you were born with

I know that you were in training of some sort
I like to imagine you in a room of the same
all bettering yourselves at your craft

You once had the flesh of a stranger
I want to return to the overpass
I think the stones at night will help me remember

One of Astor Piazzolla's beautiful milongas. And a peculiar one: Romance of the Devil...quite an unusual romance?! 
Perhaps that's why Piazzolla wrote it in a major key in stead of minor like most of his other milongas.

06 Romance Del Diablo

https://soundcloud.com/davidaugust

Diynamic label artist David August puts a spin on Kollektiv Turmstrasse's "Last Day," a lovely piece of tech-house released back in 2009. His revision sees a deeper, warm, and meditative track with delicious chords and consuming basslines—-all resulting in an intoxicating audio-watering hole that you'll never want to leave. Unless perhaps for a refill. 

Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Last Day (David August Revision)

At times the clouds and light in the sky forms itself into patterns that trigger memories, or emotions.  It is an endless display and beautiful.

Denouement

A first collaboration between Diederik Idenburg  (Amsterdam) and MATJAMI. Diederik's minimal electronic track was used by Victor and Rolff 2014 Paris Fashion show; you can find the original track on Diederik's SC-page. 
MATJAMI added the deep Balinese gongs, melodic Vietnamese gongs, Bali en Mongolian bells and Thai-wood block clicks, and finally a sprinkle of voice in the background.
The Painting of the face was found on the streets of Montpellier by an unknown artist... go have a look!

Emotional Response starts 2017 with a mini-album of ambient-equatorial enlightenment by Australia’s mysterious Tropical Hi-Fi.  The final record from an artist appearing on the label’s Schleißen series, this also points to the future.

Based somewhere in the far flung Northern Territories, the music of Hi-Fi’s pre-incarnation Electric Egypt was first discovered via the note-worthy airwaves of L.A’s outstanding Dublab radio station. 

As the wonderfully diverse internet shows and project’s dense, hip-hop inspired collages came to fruition with 2012’s Exotica release, a dual awareness and sporadic contact was maintained whenever a signal could be established with Hi-Fi base camp.   As the Schleißen series was formed, the studio-DJ-cut-up-mix of Oceanic Mythology was warmly received as an inspired counterpoint to the dense offering from Don’t DJ.

These first real solo recordings from the Hi-Fi crew - whoever he/she/they maybe -  moves on from the cut’n’paste of Electric Egypt to seek a meditative vision.  

Ambient, drone and field recordings are all part of a drifting tropical flavour that encompasses the listener.   Music truly inspired by it’s surroundings, this is not some music journal, flying in to sample a life and it’s sounds, but the real, living entity and it can be heard deep across the 8 short pieces.   

None is more typified than Tahiti Blue, where fellow traveler Mike Cooper layers his ubiquitous steel blues over simple, lilting drums.   Mixed by Leaving Record’s Matthewdavid (with whom more to come on the label in 2017) and the ever-present encouragement of friend and neighbour, Ariel Kalma, this is conceptual album to lay back, drift off on undulating swells and simply, let go to.

MATJAMI: Acoustic-electronic soundscapes, deep beats, slow trance, empty space: meditation by listening and playing. 
Tip: Use good speakers or headphones to enjoy the rich, deep sounds and binaural recordings.

We three at MATJAMI (Marcel Bode, Tjalling de Leeuw, Mike de Leeuw) develop our sounds and grooves as we interact live, using our bronze, wooden and stringed instruments, (Balinese gamelan & gongs, bowls, Tibetan horns, Chinese guxing & gongs, Javanese kendang drums, timpani, beer bottles) with Native electronics, samples and live loops. The quality and the texture of our sounds are at least as important as the composition. 
We play our sessions 'on the fly', where one of us starts and the rest comes in at leisure... All you hear here was recorded live, with only some simple stereo and eq mixing afterwards.
We love to perform in open areas, theaters, level stage, and spaces with a special feel to them; a small audience is just as nice.
Recently we started collaborating with other audio-artists like VictorYibril, Fintan O'Brien and Phlip Smith (G.A.), Miraela, and Augenmerk, combining their very different music styles, field recordings and soundscapes with our beats and sounds.
