Loving this! Great beats.. Love the laughter

Great production.. Strings that come in are awesome.. Great timing!

A fine return! The laughter, explosions of rhythm and string flourish combination brought Yello to my mind - although this sounds nothing like them. The string additions really seem to bring the composition together superbly.

I can't believe I missed this track!  Always enjoy a good DnB track and this is up there!  Especially love the rhythm and addition of laughter.  Very cool piece my friend!  :)

I Seem What You Mean To See In Me

Microcosm6

LYRICS:

I do what I do, not for you, just for pleasure
I do what I can and I can't do no more
It's all up for grabs, there for keeps, for good measure
This ain't gonna go down like it has before

The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)

I do what I do, not a want, but a have to
You take what you can 'til I can't give no more
It's all just a show, a facade, a half measure
This ain't gonna go down like you think it should

The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)

I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
With nowhere to go
I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
With nothing to show
I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
By neck or by toes
I know you know
I'm hanging like hangman
I scare off the crows

You do what you do, what you think, what you bother
You take what you can 'til you can't take no more
It's all an exchange, give and take, that you squander
This ain't gonna play out like you'd like it to

The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you take, the more you break
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)
The more you deal defines what's real
(Gonna break it down, gonna break it down)

Like Hang Man

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

Castellic is an experimental (for me, at least) drum and bass influenced piece, inspired by visits to several different castles and other medieval sites throughout England, Scotland and Wales during 2022.

Musically, 2022 has been relatively quiet for me; this is only my third release of the year as I've been focusing on other priorities but I'm still around and I'm still full of ideas. Here's hoping 2023 will be a little more prolific.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this holiday offering. Wishing everyone lots of love and peaceful vibes...

Jeff

(Castellic was composed and recorded entirely in Ableton Live 11 during the autumn and early winter of 2022.)

In January this year, we lost the great musician and drummer of YMO, Yukihiro Takahashi. As if following him, last month, Ryuichi Sakamoto also passed away. Having lost two respected musicians, I find myself without emotional support and have been creating music daily, tracing their music and lives. Unconsciously, the songs I create are heavily influenced by their music. This song is one of them. When I listen to the finished piece, I feel it somewhat resembles YMO's "Expecting Rivers." These days, I find "HOPE" in the Milky Way, the heavenly river that spans the sky.

Rivers of Aspiration

weeds of wonder

Cuentas Pendientes

the 2018 was a very difficult year for me ...
understanding after so many years of having come to the end of a relationship was not easy to accept. I tried with all my strength to save something that escaped me like sand in my hands.
at the same time I poured all my interior experience into the creative act, as a source of salvation, into a cathartic act.
suspension between abyss and ecstasy ...
I was feverishly working on the realization of my first album.
project which, moreover, was interrupted due to the breakdown of my mac .. I lost several important information, such as sounds created with the help of different vst plugins .. and I still try to recover data etc .. to continue the project.
even today it is not easy for me to listen to this piece again.
it takes me back in time, and inevitably a few tears still line my face.
however, it is one of the few pieces accompanied by a text written at the time. I find it extraordinary how pain is able to take new shape through art.
here is the text to follow:

Packaged lives.

Packaged lives.


And in all our going
Without an arrival

Enjoy the trip, at least

While pretending to be tired

Packaged lives

With the heart immersed
Inside a well

Packaged lives

Looking for my place
In the world.


A place in time, with you

Packaged lives

And in all our going
Without an arrival

Packaged lives

Enjoy the trip, at least

for their great sound capture.

Packaged Lives

I make lo-fi, melodic, instrumental electronica, conceived, composed and recorded using only a laptop and a digital audio workstation (currently Ableton Live 11).

Due to domestic constraints, I work entirely on headphones so it probably follows that my recordings are best appreciated via the same medium.

When you've finished here, why not take a look at my videos on YouTube or head over to Twitter to see if I've uttered anything profound recently? (I probably haven't but you never know...)

Many thanks for visiting. Please come back again soon.
