Say I Haven't Lost It All

The debut single by RJSPARTY.

'Coffee' is a hot blend of LoFi and RnB, where RJ showcases her unique musical style by blending soulful vocals with smooth melodic phrasing and passionate lyricism. This song was designed to weave a tale of love, connection, and the beauty found in the simplicity of life.

Enjoy ❤️‍🔥

The first in a series, Woodhouse 09/11/21 9PM was written in collaboration with James M. Creed. It is a simple piece for two reed organs and two manipulated field recordings taken from two nearby streets at the same time on a quiet Tuesday evening. They are overlaid with each other and accompanied by a simple cycle of sustained dyads. The piece is a small study of the difference in two very similar streets, and the harmonic activity present in our everyday surroundings on quiet nights.

Say I Haven't Lost It All (full version)

Performed by Huw Morgan at St Thomas the Martyr, Bristol.

'Malum Opus' (translation: apple/disaster work) was written with the thought of a decaying apple in mind and my perceptions of decay, whether it be the withering wrinkles and crevices as the item falls apart, or the beautiful colours that appear in sprouting mould. The piece oscillates between consonance and microtonal dissonance, shifting the listener’s perceptions of the chords as they transition within these oscillations, gradually moving closer towards a microtonal decay and then eventual resolution as the apple becomes part of the earth.

Musically, the work explores the disruption and abrupt termination of repeated patterns to suggest short episodes of pulses and rhythms that are never fully resolved or developed. 
Most of the sounds in the work come from recordings that I made from inside an upright piano, and inside a clock. These sources are juxtaposed with short samples of Baroque string orchestra. Patches in Reaktor and Max were used to create spatial movement (in the 8-channel version) and rhythmic modulation of playback position within each sound. 
The title of the piece comes from a line in Norman MacCaig’s poem ‘Sounds of the Day’, where the dark sounds in the poem, and silence that follows them represent the intense pain of grief and loss. The relevant extract from the poem is:
When the black drums rolled, it was water
falling sixty feet into itself.
When the door
scraped shut, it was the end
of all the sounds there are.
You left me
beside the quietest fire in the world.
(Norman MacCaig)
