Memory Of An Island

Stressed

(John Stone)

Life is a bitch
I’ve heard it said  
Some people even say they’re  better off dead
You’re in a hole
Then take control
Take care of business could be good for your soul

If I were you I wouldn’t get so stressed about it
Don’t waste the moment going OhOhOh
Instead of thinking what might happen and when
If something going to happen you can deal with it then

Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
You should keep yourself together don’t get angry or depressed
Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
Just keep calm and keep collected when bad feelings are expressed  
Let’s not get stressed stressed ….   

It’s true the future, may not seem  bright
And there’s no answer to the problems in sight
Just down the line  things could be fine
You often find and answer if you just give it time

Stressed

Today Patrick/DjArtw2001 (@djartw2007) and I present the last-but-one track 13 in our almost completed collaborative album "Galaxy Universe" (2024) - and the concluding track will appear here on SC together with the album as whole this coming weekend.

The track was created on 29 August 2024 (initial composition, recording, arrangements and mix by Alex M in Logic Pro using Akai MPKmini keyboard input) and 3 September 2024 (subsequent composition, further additions and arrangements and final mix by DjArtw2001 in MAGIX) and posted on SoundCloud on 26 September 2024 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the track zooms in on a fragment of an oil painting by Patrick/DjArtw2001 of 1 November 2023 that was cropped square from a photo and annotated using Mac OS Preview by Alex M on 20 September 2024 - in coordination and agreement with Patrick/DjArtw2001.

Duration: 7:59 minutes

poem / copyright jo richter:

sprich mit dem abend
als zähmt' ihn nicht knebel
nicht rauschunterdrückung - schabend
knirscht kiesmond im nebel

und aus tatzen des lichts
wachsen neonkrallen -
des schnurrhaargesichts
tauträges wohlgefallen

von kamin zu kamin
gelichtet - aus dem napf
will ein geruch aufzieh'n
hin zum bartdenkmalkopf -

tief im großstadtkokon
wird die geisel befreit -
frag niemals, wovon
frag: wofür ist sie bereit

interlinear translation: stockholm syndrone // talk to the evening / as though it was not tamed / by gagging / by noise cancelling - the gravel moon / crunches in the fog // and from the light's paws / neon claws grow / the pleasing comfort of / a whiskered face // being flashed from chimney to / chimney - out of the pet dish / a smell happens to rise / up to the bearded monument's brow // the hostage being liberated / from the city's cocoon  - / never ask for origins / ask: what is being prepared

this is a failed dynamic
ive let my emotions take control over reason and i cannot provide what you long for anymore
this is an ode to what i must conquer
my sincerest apologies
peace and love to all

indelibility and the forever forgotten

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
