I loved the action of the song's opening motif, the fading drums, and enjoyed the time to think and imagine the rhythm that would soon resume.

And now for something completely different!

OKTOPIA Presents: About Humans

This one started life as a SBP track, 'Blitz'. Dan did his thing with it and created something brand new...

"you have to be careful around humans! they'll catch you and lock you in cramped, dirty water. then you'll be paraded and forced to eat dead fish. only once did one come back. she couldn't speak and had to be fed for a long time."

Original Track, Blitz: The Shire Bairn Project
Slicing, dicing and re-arranging: Dan C E Kresi
Produced by Dan C E Kresi

About Humans

Ya already know I’m sick with that fascination
Born feverishly anxious by nature
Gotta have this conversation
Self reflected observation

From wake time 
To waste time
To work time
Til break time
There’s time 
It takes time to make time

Wait in line watching strangers stare they talk blindly in their hands
Amid dim blue ghosts remotely catch a Karen emote
Wow the air here has gotten stale
While we aimless wander ponder as numbered fodder unprepared to take back the time it’s cost we’ve lost that we’d been wasting there

(Chorus)

Stumbling towards the future missing wishing towards for the past
Gaze into the mirror best brace yourself then ask:
If time wastes time a crime constructed of this mind then why, 
Should any of us try our fate by taking time just to make time?

(Chorus)

Now gazing back at the minutes amassed count each granule through the glass 
When the moment aligns with a rhythm sublime 
Pulsing pleasure of this painful dance 
Still we aimless wander ponder numbered fodder unprepared 
To take back the time its cost we’ve lost that we’d been wasting there 

(Chorus)

Timely, funkily

Inspired by Sergei Rachmaninoff's Sonata No.2 in B Flat Minor Op.36
Overwhelmed by the pain and suffering of mortal men, women and children, she pleads for divine intervention.

Her Prayer

Played a vintage, GDR era, analog string synth (Vermona Piano-Strings) with some keys taped down to free my hands. Sent it through a filter bank emphasizing the vocal formants and then into a legendary phaser pedal with wooden cheeks. Accompanied by Moog Subharmonicon and a simple bass patch on the modular synth.

“ORANATOL” unfolds like a dialogue between cultures, a meeting of Anatolian warmth and Western sophistication. Smooth yet expressive, the track moves in organic waves of improvisation, where mellow guitar lines and soft jazz harmonies breathe with soul.

At around ~78 BPM in D minor, “ORANATOL” balances gentle groove and cinematic stillness. It carries the calm elegance of jazz intertwined with the emotional resonance of Anatolia, a sonic horizon where sunlight fades into melody.

Perfect for reflective evenings, mindful sessions, and creative focus, it embodies the spirit of fusion, where emotion and tradition coalesce.


BPM: ~78 /  Key - Tonality: D minor (approx.) / Dynamic Range: ~21.5 dB /  Spectral Centroid: ~2.8 kHz / Average RMS: –17.2 LUFS /  Stereo Width (Side/Mid): ~0.45 / Gender Energy: eminine-leaning (42M / 58F balance)

Fusion Breakdown: Lo-Fi Chill 20% • Cinematic Ambient 25% • Neo-Soul 20% • Jazz 30% • Experimental 5%

ORANATOL

The stories I express are a very pastiche glimpse of many, many failed attempts to experiment with sound as tone of mind. In some strange way I hope they convey a vivid yet absurd journey. I resonate greatly with music that tends to induce some version of sadness. Not full on sorrow but somewhere between the realms of melancholy and whimsy. Like many of you out there, This has become an obsessive nightly effort to create something different.

'shit at and hit'
Thanks to grandma Billie for the phrase. A wonderful woman. I've yet to hear of this phrase existing prior, nor of it from anyone else since.
Scotty: Two yamaha storia II takes through a fender mustang III amp with differing fx, channeled accordingly, maybe, hopefully, and a handful of vocal takes layered. 

I can't get up today.
I've got no words to say.
Everything always replays,
and causes me dismay. 

I feel like I've been shot at and missed, and shit at and fucking hit. 

If there is a god,
why the fuck would they
make us in the mould
to have to feel this way?
Everyday.
