The City Of Whispers

Lyrics:


The rain collects in my veins,
Turning my body into an abandoned shrine
Where I must kneel before memories 
That refuse to decay.

Now the world is quiet—
The nostalgia does not fade—
Until I no longer know 
If I am remembering you 


Find me well when
This time it will end
I'm not good with beginnings
Never mind forgiving's

I tell myself the past is gone
That what we had was only a constellation
It was never a gentle thing
Of our own undoing.


The rain collects in my veins,
Turning my body into an abandoned shrine
Where I must kneel before memories 
That refuse to decay.

Now the world is quiet—
The nostalgia does not fade—
Until I no longer know 
If I am remembering you

This track was somewhat of an accident, I was playing the keys and sorta got lost in the moment. Afterwards I remembered that Ableton has this feature where, even if you weren't recording, it will still capture your MIDI notes, so I recaptured my MIDI notes and turned them into this ambient piece.

Hopefully this audio finds you some grounding. Know that you are loved, and you are appreciated <3

Nils Frahm & Olafur Arnalds : An excerpt from Trance Frendz 3

The Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones are returning with their 4th album called "Astrild Astrild". Like all of the previous albums, the band recorded the seven pieces at home in Britanny during several sessions between 2013 and 2016.

The characteristics of this full-length are classic drone soundscapes mixed with deep tone saxophone parts that became the band's trademark since the release of their debut album in 2006. Slowly paced, the new tracks are following the Quartet's basic structure and classical sound. Apart from that the new full length conceals more live takes including guitars, bass and Rhodes keys and even piano sounds are haunting for the first time at the end of 'Ocho Acenteur'. With these new elements the songs of "Astrild Astrild" are pushed further into a large tunnel of deafening rhythmic parts and field ambiant textures.

Vocals are a major element of the Dale Cooper Quartet & The Dictaphones' DNA since the second album "Metamanoir" (2011). Sometimes breathy, sometimes deep and often mysterious, Ronan MacErlaine, Gaëlle Kerrien and Zalie Bellacicco voices appear in the corners of the songs as ghostly figures or eerie characters.

The new album "Astrild Astrild" is a glimpse of the present live sound of the Dale Cooper Quartet: 50's crooners singers, noisy guitars, atmospheric electronic and hypnotic jazz. All of these elements painted in monochrome black.

Artist: Nick Zammuto
Title: Tonight We'll Go For A Ride
Album: We The Animals: An Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Release Date: November 9, 2018 Digital / February 8, 2019 Physical

We The Animals is the award-winning new film from Jeremiah Zagar (In A Dream). Based on the best-selling novel by Justin Torres, We The Animals is Zagar’s first narrative feature. It reunites Zagar with Nick Zammuto, the renowned composer and co-founder of beloved collage-pop pioneers, the Books. Inspired by the film’s setting in rural upstate New York – and influenced by the early ambient electronic music that galvanized the Books two decades ago – Zammuto pairs that earthen, wooded isolation with dynamic pulses of customized electronics and sparse, crystalline layers of melodic soft synths. The juxtaposition is arresting, and gives the soundtrack a unique heft befitting of its subject matter – and betraying of its minimal instrumentation. Beautifully edited and sequenced to act as both a companion to the film and a standalone album, We The Animals: An Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is as subtle as it is startling, and succeeds in making even the heaviest emotions feel momentarily weightless.

Carnevale Della Disillusione - by @sami-khatib
The postcoronial apocalypse is not the exception but the rule; it does not reveal anything. Its flashlights cannot illuminate the darkness of a present whose future is already past before it was born. For the future to which this present is indebted is not a real future. The future of current capitalism is already consumed, devalorized, darkened by a future past that will never arrive in the present. The future of this present is an illusion beyond illusion. “I can make light of myself and of others in that darkness: all the real is valueless, every value unreal! Whence that facility and that fatality of equivocations, where I don’t know if I am lying or if I am mad. Night’s necessity springs from that unhappy situation. The night could only proceed by way of a detour. The questioning of all things resulted from the exasperation of a desire, which could not come to bear on the void! The object of my desire was illusion first of all and could be the void of disillusion only in the second instance.” (G. B.) In this void of disillusion our night will fall.
