Lyrics:
speak until the dust
settles in the same specific place
light refused to go
drink it from a cast and iron plate
instead of cold milk
was offered unripe
instead of silence
considered craven

nothing made it seem
hidden where the aging soil was pure
pressed against the crease
mountains become fragrant at the source
how can you stand this
exotic angle
i read it somewhere 
that they would lie still

i remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
i remember my first love
i remember my first love

unrelied i was called
missing teeth out of favour
nickel beach it was all
gathering by the sundial

i woke hard
i woke heavy 
for the half way stop
five whole hours in
when i woke hard 
i woke heavy with the live or parts 

i remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
i remember my first love
i remember my first love

i remember my first love

As heard on Spike Lee's 'She's Gotta Have It' season 2 (episode #8, 2019)

 
Lyrics:

Mom worked two jobs to make sure we had
She never took a day off, even though she can
Long days and nights, she never cried in our face
When you lead by example, you do it with grace

Help me find a healthy way out of here
Somewhere safe where I can save my mind

"If this world is mine, I design this world,"
said a young black boy and girl
Did we come from the sun, or beyond the skies?
What will become of the young black mind?

Father had problems, he lived on his own
Stepfather became father, choice of his own
He’d tell me stories about wars between Egypt and Rome
He said there’s loves in these projects, but the rest of the globe -
you must know, you must go as far as you can go

Help me get healthy and get out of here
Somewhere safe where I can save my mind

"If this world is mine, I design this world,"
said a young black boy and girl
Did we come from the sun, or beyond the skies?
What will become of the young black mind?

As far as you can go…

Help me get me healthy and get out of here
Somewhere safe where I can save my babies and my mind
Living in this system that wasn’t designed for you at all
From the moment you’re born, till the moment that you fall

She said "I can’t give you much, but I’ll do what I can
One day you’ll be a family man, you’ll understand"
Life moves so fast, the future becomes the past
The day becomes the memory that barely lasts

But I have to thank you
You gave me everything that I needed to survive,
to survive...
And I know you’re watching

Lyrics: 

Who has the time, to have the time
To teach a stranger what you like?
Every beginner's the same
I don't even remember their names
I had a line memorized
But it doesn't work that way
I'm missing what we had
Wishing we could get that back 

See me, want me, conquer 
We will see who's stronger
I don't need to talk you through it
We're locked into it
Our love,
Speaks like,
Water
It's fluid

Remember when you laid your eyes
On this vast and wild land?
All you ever wanted was me
As far as the eye could see
The way you moved so fluently 
You learned my body with your hands
Spoke my native tongue
And your war was won...

You, see me, want me, conquer 
We will see who's stronger
I don't need to talk you through it
We're locked into it
Our love,
Speaks like,
Water
It's fluid

US Tour dates & tickets available now: jamesvmcmorrow.com/tourdates

Wasted moments. We had a lot of them. Even though I believe I’ve done the right thing at the time, when I look back I realize I actually made my life a lot more difficult. Not an uncommon tale. I rarely learn anything from the mistakes, in fact if I went back I’d probably do the same stuff all over again.

But I am trying. I’m trying to be better, and more honest. I was thinking about those wasted moments one night while I was working on my next record. I started writing this song, finished it in front of my drum kit the next day. I already had all my songs for the new record, this felt like something different, born out of the same ideas but for different reasons. 

I recorded it with tempo because life to me is tempo, it’s rarely slow. This song is the connect from where I was, to where I’m going to be very soon.

---
Lyrics

Never learn
Never learn from before
Still return
I return expecting more
That’s how I waste the moment 
Everybody says
Living with this violence 
Littered with regret
I’ve been wasting moments
Strip them till they’re clean
Buried under silence 
Hidden in the leaves

Two degrees
Two degrees is not that for
Still you & me

(Bridge)

I always thought that I’d be alone
A million hearts, still wrapped around my throat
I hear them beat
I see them all, in front of me 
Where they don’t belong
The have no meaning 
Just fingers soft
& hands obscene.

Heavy Metal
by Christine Southworth
Performed by Gamelan Galak Tika, Shaw Pong Liu, violin, Blake Newman, bass, Erik Nugent, EWI, Charles Whalen, electric guitar, and Ensemble Robot

Notes:
Heavy Metal represents a new kind of fusion, multi-dimensional, making connections across cultures acoustic and electronic, western and eastern, high and low, human and machine. The piece was written for Gamelan Galak Tika, a Balinese gamelan in residence at MIT that has worked with electric instruments many times in the past, but this is certainly the first time a traditional Balinese gamelan has shared the stage with robotic instruments. In other ways, though, there is something very natural about these combinations: they reflect the way we all experience music in the 21st century. It could also be argued that this is simply an extension of the way music has always progressed and changed, as Chinese shawms morphed into oboes, and exotic middle eastern percussion instruments, like the cymbal and triangle, worked their way into the symphony orchestra. Heavy Metal engages the full force of two ensembles, Galak Tika and Ensemble Robot, as well as a living history of electroacoustic instruments, from the vintage lyricon to the Whirlybot. The sounds implicit in both senses of the title find their way into new combinations of struck bronze and excitable circuitry.

Heavy Metal is based on American hard rock music from the late 1970’s through the early 1990s. The idea started as a pun, because the keys of many Balinese gamelan instruments are made of metal, but when I began studying the melodic ideas and rhythms in heavy metal music, I found that they leant themselves very well to gamelan. The problem was that a gamelan has a very specific sound and limited timbral variation, the sounds of hit metal and skin. I feel that the sounds of the gamelan become much more interesting when combined with string sounds. Also, the gamelan uses a pentatonic scale so I am using western instruments and robots to expand the sound universe to a full spectrum.

In this piece, the gamelan and the western/robotic instruments play separately – rhythmically they are together, and they are working through the same material at the same time, but the western instruments and robots do not play the 5 notes that the gamelan plays, and more often than not they stay out of that key (a variation of E Major, the gamelan tuning being C#, D#, E, G, and A) altogether. This creates a sense of two harmonic worlds co-existing and cooperating, the West and our technology with Bali and their technology, much more primitive but very powerful nonetheless.

-Christine Southworth

Artist: Soul Button feat. Terry Grant 
Title: Wraith
Label: Steyoyoke
Format: Digital
Release Date: December 14th, 2015
Cover Art: Stella Gelesh
Cat No: SYYK040

Steyoyoke’s latest EP features smooth vocals by Canadian artist Terry Grant, including two originals by Soul Button, one by Soul Button and Aaryon, and a remix by Animal Picnic, forming a tear-jerking release. This ethereal techno blends moving melodies with dark lows and piercing highs.

‘Wraith’, by Soul Button, showcases distorted synths and Terry Grant’s reassuring vocals, adding warmth and identity. Soul Button’s technical finesse and Grant’s homely voice make this track a dreamy highlight.

‘Demise’, a tragically sweet track, pairs Terry Grant’s dark lyrics with his calm voice. The sharp kick and haunting chord progression evoke a lost love visiting in dreams, creating chills even on a sweaty dance floor.

Soul Button and Aaryon’s ‘Substratum’ merges their styles seamlessly. Chiming synths, groovy rides, and shakers craft a rhythm that transports you to another universe.

Animal Picnic’s remix of ‘Wraith’ adds an upbeat twist, stretching Terry Grant’s vocals for a nostalgic effect. Jungle-like drums and synths give the remix a wild energy.

Soul Button, Terry Grant, Aaryon, and Animal Picnic unite for a spiritually evocative EP packed with wistful drops and melodies, marking another Steyoyoke treasure.

Arcane

Reissue of the first ISAN album (originally released on Tugboat/RTD in 1998) as a limited Record Store Day first time ever vinyl release! Including previously unreleased bonus tracks. Re-mastered and cut by Dubplates & Mastering.
One explanation for the 90s-fascination with Casio, Korg and other analogue synthesizers is quickly at hand: The 1st video-game generation was coming of age and were happy to hear that their dearly loved “Space Invaders“-soundtrack was suddenly popping up in electronic music. It takes slightly longer to explain why one record from that time - “Beautronics“, the debut by UK-synth-duo ISAN first released in 1998 - kept its appeal until today.
“Beautronics“ does not grab you immediately. You don’t hum these tunes after a few listens, in fact you might not even hum them after dozens of spins. It’s not about humming. It’s about soft cushions and a cosy duvet made of sounds, it’s about aural sheets floating around like warm humidity during a hot bath. Occasionally it’s even about IDM, but in a very late-night kind of way.
Antony Ryan and Robin Saville, the two English lads behind ISAN, are very open about their goals. They separate the longer tracks with short, often abstract pieces they called “Tints“. So it’s as much about tonal colour, as it is about melodies. The “Tints“ form an interesting contrast between ambient sounds and the more focused tunes. But even their most bass-dominated songs such as “Skeek“ are not exactly four to the floor. There’s no more than one to the floor, while the rest is sailing somewhere above in a haze of beautiful sounds and melodies. The album’s sleeve and title are straightforward about this: it’s all about the human beauty in electronica.
Just like your mom’s heartbeat that set the tone for the first nine months of your life, “Beautronics“ produces sounds that radiate a warmth and naturalness that make them feel familiar upon first listen. The 15 years since its initial release don’t change a thing about this. That’s why it’s certain, that “Beautronics“ will win a new generation of listeners with this re-issue.
