Taken from theUse - Time Pieces (MGEP0007)
Street date: April 21st, 2015
Pre-release on Beatport: March 23rd, 2015

"Kiss the Dark" —words borrowed from an ancient Irish Poem by artist L. Mylott Manning, who created a piece of the same title- essentially a dress, covered in various watches set to different times. In Manning's words, it is about taking steps into the unknown, leaving comfort zones and having faith in one’s own success.

Michael Durek aka theUse, created “Time Pieces” for the opening of “Kiss the Dark” at a boutique watch store in Manhattan called House of Horology. It was performed with an accompanying video from Jim Tuite.

In creating the track, “Time Pieces”, theUse shirks structures found on his debut release, and ditches looped drum clips in favor of hand programming and playing every note. The ghost-like manipulated voice of his sister-in-law can be heard teaching his nieces to say “Shu Shu” - which means "Uncle" in Mandarin. Durek recorded a sweet moment in a rose garden, by some wind chimes - those too can be heard on the release. Elements of jazz, synth-wave, and dark ambient grace the recording. And as always, wistful theremin carries the melodies of the track.

theUse wasn’t held back by the need to create crude drops and 8bar structures, but rather was drawn into the process of creation that Manning described when she took that title “Kiss the Dark”. It is better to enter the cave and take the road less traveled.

Enter the Cave — Milligrid Records presents Time Pieces, complete with two remixes of Bloodwork, a recent favorite from theUse feat. Black Saturn, by mNIPK and FluiD.

EVERYDAY (JunkHeap (c) Feb 2020 / Remixed/Fixed Aug 2023)

Everyday, I choose wrong to see it turn out right.
Everyday, I feel some pain to see it change in the light.
When it covers me with it’s paint; different shades of grey,
I know the canvas can be made bright again.

Sing a song for me and I’ll let you know if it feels alright.
Breath in the air so clean, and see yourself start to unwind.
The things that life will bring, mean you must never give in.
Small advice but it’s all from within.

Ch.
Everyday, we make our choices, sometimes they're misconstrued.
Everyday, we want things to change, but feel so screwed.

Everyday, think of collecting my things and driving off into the night.
Everyday, wake up cold without her warmth by my side.
With our passion, with our pain, take a chance once again.
Everyday, needs to challenge yesterday.

Ch.
Everyday, we make our choices, sometimes they're misconstrued.
Everyday, we want things to change, but feel so screwed.
