Arvo Pärt's 'Für Alina' (with Rafael Anton Irisarri)

"There can be no true beauty without decay."

I haven't posted new music since a while now, although I never stopped composing. I guess this track is the most personal thing I could share with you.
It's about a woman who means a lot to me. She always encouraged me in my darkest hours. Even if I was close to deleting all of my recordings and burning all of the albums I made. She took me to Bonn to study filmmusic-composition this year and was proud of me doing what I do. She plays the violin in this song and was sitting next to me most of the time I was composing it for her and with her.

On December the 8th 2014 she passed away. I am trying to accept it and that's why I am sharing her beauty with you. May her playing move you the way it moves me and may she never be forgotten.

I love you.
I miss you.
And I will never forget what you have done for me.
Thank you for everything.

Track taken from the upcoming album 'Replicas' by Gideon Wolf...

...

Constructed over 2 years this album has been slowly pieced together, reshaped, scraped, re-written and made again before becoming the album you are listening to now.

Replicas’ is a dark journey into a past, present and future that is personal, and reflective of wider concerns shaping this island(s) we live on.

At points angry and born out of frustration and angst for the times we are living in, this album goes back to my roots; a council flat in South East London, freedom, degradation, concrete, community, rich, poor, the melting pot of cultures, music, and people.

As cultural lines have been drawn in a different way through gentrification, a poverty divide similar to those of the 80’s and the b word, I have found myself struggling to accept my own place as a working class composer, father and human.

This album I suppose you could say is a meditation on the urban sprawl I grew up in, getting older, and my place in a community that feels like it has lost its way. - GW

Gideon Wolf - Profit

“A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.”

As with most things in life there is a backstory to how this single came into being. Earlier this year Craig and I invited Kira Kira to contribute an album to our new label Letra Rec, and to our combined delight she agreed! A plan was hatched and we expected to hear results early 2019, and promptly got on with our other activities.

Early December I received and email from Kira Kira with an mp3 and the seed of an idea, to release a single “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love” in celebration of the winter solstice, the forthcoming holy season and Kira Kira’s birthday. After a few back and forth mails the idea had begun to take root and things were in motion. I would remix the track as an exclusive digital b-side, and in the spirit of the season we would donate all proceeds to UNICEF’s Yemen appeal (https://www.unicef.org.uk/donate/yemen/). 

It has been a mad rush to the finishing line getting all the bits together but with hearts full of hope we are pleased to release into the world “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love”.  We would also like to send a big hug to our friends at Boomkat for hosting this yuletide release. - Andrew Hargreaves (TLO)

.......

I came across these words in “A Course in Miracles,” one of the greater canons of contemporary spiritual literature originally published by The Foundation for Inner Peace in 1976. When I read this for the first time: “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love,” something changed in me. It felt amazing, just reading these words, so I underlined them. And then I wrote them up on a piece of paper and taped it to my wall. Can it be that a bouquet of words has presence? Spirit, even? Being fearful is a pain, it truly is. I’d like to be in love, not fear, so I began to witness these kinds of shifts. To consciously, actively transform fear to love by being present with it and singing is such a primal, effective way to do that.

I’ve practiced Yoga and meditation avidly for about 10 years now and so I am well familiar with the practice of using mantras as medicine for the mind and spirit. But finding words outside the traditional arsenal of healing mantras that resonate with me personally was something else and has taken things to a new level. 

I hope this one can be of service to others as well. - Kira Kira

WESTWORLD Chase seen Score Competition

As I sat down to compose over these last couple of days (June 3 2020), this was the sound echoing in my core. The melancholy melody came the quickest as I sang it over the minimal chords before I tracked it. I couldn’t get the backdrop of broken cities and broken hearts out of my mind. One of the last bits that I wrote in was the beginning trumpet that reminded me of a distant siren.

As it developed, I felt as I was writing an opening title for mystery drama.

This track shows how "Kung Fu Flower" and "Chara-go to the Moon" can be played at the same time perfectly in the stairwell. 
The first minute: two tracks are playing equally. 
Second minute: Closer to "Kung Fu Flower"
Last minute: Closer to "Chara-go to the Moon"

這段音樂呈現花拳繡鼓與天馬行空洽朗哥是如何完美的同時播放於樓梯間。
第一分鐘：同時平衡的播放。
第二分鐘：靠近花拳繡鼓
第三分鐘：靠近天馬行空洽朗哥
