MY MISTAKE
------------------
I lacked that tenacity you forecasted for me
last week

I lost my grip

the steadfastness and patience
you prayed for
was lost on me
the way pages are lost flinging
from an open case

tattered, worn/leathered
open case
that files away
unanswered questions, as if they never         pile up

my resolute demeanour that
escapes me now
I boasted so gracefully

with rough tongue i do
lick my wounds
and tears i kept for too long
do well to subdue
the promise of your return

I lie with hope every night
leaving myself alone

that determination you thought you saw in my eyes
was certain, daunting anger
hidden rage barking in the voice of hate

so righteous I became;
the director and projector of my pain

when the truth is a story of the choiceless one must
begin again

such a clean-slate you flung at me
all it caught was this ego-stenched
pungent smell of fury

it drips over my every move
like poison to fool
those blessings you shower upon me now
those borrowed tears I’ve used
trying to wipe away my mistake –
my de-robed mind

Om Unit completes the journey of discovery and growth he begun on 2017’s acclaimed Self album with a pack of four remixes that expand on the themes and sonic palette of the record. A connector at heart, the man known as Jim Coles invites likeminded producers to interpret songs that bridge the album’s flexible styles and embrace the vulnerability and exposure at its core. 

First up is dBridge, who modifies “What I Can Be” featuring Amos, aka Amina Osmano of A/T/O/S. A pioneer of the drum & bass scene and fearless sonic explorer, dBridge gives the song a subtle but tense touch, placing harsh and abrasive progressions and dissolving snares against the softness of Amos’ voice and beauty of the subject matter. “I always liked Darren’s own vocal tracks so I wanted to hear what he would do with this one,” explains Coles. “I love the result and it made perfect sense to me as a dBridge fan.” 

Following this is the inimitable SKRS (aka Seekers International) out of British Columbia, whose sound system experiments have been some of the most vital in recent years. They first caught the ear of Coles via a recommendation in Bristol’s Idle Hands shop and it turns out the appreciation was mutual. Here they lend their deconstructing touch to “Passages”, keeping the original’s melodies while pushing it further into a soundboy abyss of flying rhythms and vocal samples. No sound test. 

Up next is Birmingham’s Sorrow, a young producer who refashions one of the album’s stand out cuts, “Nothing” featuring Rider Shafique. A meditation on suffering and change, Sorrow gives the song a melancholic feel, keeping its slow pace while rising its hopeful potential with deep anchoring chords. “It’s a real headphone masterpiece in my book,” says Coles of the remix. 

Completing the circle of Self Remixes is O$VMV$M, the ambient and lo-fi duo of Young Echo members Sam “Neek” Barrett and Amos “Jabu” Childs. Here the pair apply their ethereal smudge to “Tahatan”, slowing everything down until it feels as if you were hearing the song from just beneath the surface of the sea, the sound distant and the sunlight reflecting and creating shimmers in your field of vision. 

What began as a desire to experiment and push forward for Om Unit comes to a rightful and hopeful end with this short remix collection, opening the door to others and letting them apply the reflections of their own journeys onto the material. 

Self Remixes is released on 12” Vinyl & Digital on 7th Sept 2018 on Cosmic Bridge Records.

Lyrics are phrases from this poem "Flooding In" https://nothingispersonal.wordpress.com/2016/11/18/flooding-in/
& "Tall Trees" https://nothingispersonal.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/tall-ceilings/

FLOODING IN
simply a watershed for a window that never bleeds
only my eyes keep it all from flooding in
the only light seen before me as i begin
to make moonlight echo like sound breaks moving waves

the only light seen
like sound breaks
moving waves
sunshine begins
the day parts and i sing

i never bleed dry
i always am the fool
i won’t hold regret
for the eye that never bleeds

the window keeps it all
from flooding in

TALL TREES
For without long hallways and tall ceilings there is little
ledge to perch
corridors plenty with windows carving etchings for shadow or light

here my voice carries well
fresh & cool as nightingale calls amidst tall columns of birch
i crave to hear the echo

This track is a tribute to Jimi, Billy and Mitch. At the same time it represents a humble contribution from Teth Sin to Black History Month 2020.
You might like to watch a video clip for this track and listen to an alternate mix at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEu1PH7ICxQ . Making up a clip for this Jimi Hendrix cover gave me a chance to set up a Teth Sin YouTube channel.

Tried something a little different. Here it is.

LYRICS:

You take a breath
You call me up
But I know what you gonna say
And I don't wanna hear a word no

I know I know
It's the moment of truth
You will say what you gotta say
And then I'm gonna hide away
I don't wanna know the truth
If it's just gonna hurt me

I know I know
Every word you gonna say
You take a breath
You break it off
Why's it gotta end this way
You know I tried
But trying ain't always enough
You say that in the end
I was just a waste of time

WARMTH
---------------
and i go to those hidden valleys and ridges
known to the likes of ancient creatures and spirits
and with my eyes down and my hair wild
i ask my lovers of past
to take my picture

as if the mist did never have lips!
and mossy bark won’t hold even a scrape of my skin!
there standing in
defiance and manic understanding
like a tease
my hair wild

i feel
i am no mystery
without my warmth
for the cold-pressed loss
lasts, lasts
time itself, baked in your name

the creatures and spirits
my eyes and hair,
we burn
and rise once again

so lovers of past
take my picture
for my warmth i send

OUR WORK
______________
Objects get lost
Thoughts vanish unfathomed
Feelings are so often disguised.

Chiselling off the surface…

In the grip of tools
our hope, like rock, is dust –
Almost soft.

Pound dried to packed dust
packed form to particle.

If this dust is not buried, lost in our fears
or tossed to the wind.
If the dust is rich with our will,
Our meal it shall be.

COMPLETELY

even though you’re free
you still have to offer yourself

i know you are free as the fleeting snow flake;
who knows your destiny?
who among us could judge your faith?

how can i be so dear to you?
how do you dare to be at my side?

even though you are free
you still have to offer yourself
completely.

I REST MY HEELS
______________
shadow is falling beloved…
this shadow of mine
is falling, finally,
at your feet…

i have traveled far on mine;
and with my face to your bare toes, I rest my heels

ONCE WE WERE TREES
________________________
once when we were trees
up on the hill
our branches touched
our roots embraced

Lyrics based on this poem from my chapbook These Tales Are True
https://tarka1.bandcamp.com/merch/these-tales-are-true
PUSH FOR CHANGE (The Mere Request for Change)
here is the excerpt used in the song:
_________________________________________________________
its that time again to push
for change
push coming to shove
as the moon cycle comes into full swing

scarlet smell of oldness
and the mere request for change 
becomes a full blown criticism

and i feel ugly 
and my house 
is a mess
and people are calling me 
and wanting an explanation 
and the missing women
are still missing
(and the missing women are dead*)

....

the one love in the past 
and in the present

the dentist
the optometrist 
the oral surgeon 
the audiologist
the hair straightener 
the shoes
the bag
the activity and inactivity 
the passion and drama

the singing 
the singing

the push to change 
the push for more

it’s not enough
the fight is never over 
the flourishing
is always happening

even when the winter comes 
and the withering begins 
my body chases my soul 
from sleep to awakedness

it's that time again
to Push For Change

*this poem was written during my involvement with a project related to missing & murdered women in British Columbia, Canada.

The Mere Request for Change | of mystique & myrcury

_____________________
Transcendental meditation or cumulative life adversities may both lead
to ego death. For example, at the vantage point of crisis when no 
reprieve seems in sight sometimes we feel lost inside an inner universe 
and our senses intermingle, giving us a chance to reach out to an unexpected
reality. Just like the (fake?) lost cosmonaut whose voice can be heard
at the end of this track (sampled from youtu.be/E2EtIKnxB2o), we
then feel that our identity and individuality are about to explode, and
we merge into cosmic energy, be it a temporary or permanent experience. 
The sound of the inner voice informs the body, mind, soul, spirit, both 
the objective and subjective points of perception and we remember that 
inside ourselves there is a microcosm of resource as vast as the cosmos. 
That is to … see (a) sound. A nugget of pure wisdom & guidance.

great appreciation to a
network of enchanted,
conscious music,
enabling me to weave
a poetry of resilience.
journeying to mystic places,
reflection, projected in waves of rhythm.
feeling home in melodies
made of new and old.
paintings to spark the soul.
