Some of my Soundcloud Favourites #72

Drum and bass

This track is from 2014, created exclusively with the app version of the classic Yamaha TENORI-ON .

When I first acquired an iPad, one of my initial app purchases was the Yamaha TNR-e-US.

This was a beast to do anything with. One of the most cryptic and least user friendly systems I have ever experienced. (usually requiring 3-5 button presses for any simple change in event, and virtually no on screen prompts as to what you were doing, since it just was lit up dots)

This track is an excerpt of 1 of the 3 tracks I was able to record before giving up. There was a unique sound this offered, and revisiting this in my archives makes me happy I at least have this document to share.
As is the case with many obscure apps that can't keep up with iOS updates, I can no longer access this even if a wanted. classify as: obsolete

Lyrics:

Every moment
Filled with spirit
now here
Breathe in the space

Heart open 
equanimity,
we walk 
The narrow way

Clear choices, 
pure actions
Be true
Live by faith

In alignment, 
eyes open
Unafraid
Doubts pass away

Caught by nothing
No distraction
Complete
Do not stray

Calm and focused, 
not dreaming
Awake
Time slips away

In the spirit
Not even death
Can take
life away

In the stillness
Find refuge
At peace
On the narrow way

Paul Hardy (baptised David Paul Frederick Hardy) (2 August 1862 near Bath, Somerset – 2 January 1942 Storrington, Sussex), was an English illustrator, best known for his regular illustrations in The Strand Magazine, his painting of Canterbury Pilgrims (1903) and for his drawings associated with the serials of the writer Samuel Walkey (1871–1953). Paul was the eldest child of David and Emily Hardy. Paul's father was also an artist, as was his grandfather James Hardy senior and his uncles James Hardy junior and Heywood Hardy, all from an old Yorkshire family. All Paul's siblings, Norman, Evelyn and Dorothy Hardy, were illustrators.

The name of the deity corresponds first to the common Germanic name of the "thunder", *þunraz. He is also found by name in the Gallic Taranis. A thunder god with an analogous name meets us in the Baltic Pērkons. The epithet of Iuppiter tonans is derived from the same Indo-European root (s)ten- "thunder, rush, roar, groan." A remarkable similarity, which could point to the remains of the common Indo-European religion, lies in the fact that the Celtic Taranis, as well as Iuppiter and the Greek Zeus, use as a weapon the stone thunderbolt, which was thrown from heaven to earth by the lightning bolt. Also the fight, which Indra led, is atmospherically represented by lightning and thunder. The New High German word Himmel possibly goes back to an Indo-Germanic word root meaning "stone" or "anvil".

From the Common Germanic *Þunraz it can be said (analogous to Zeus) that its thunder resembles the driving of a chariot over a vault (cf. Old English Þunorrād "thunder ride"). Lightning and thunder herald the approach of Thor in Norse mythology.

The day of the week Thursday (English Thursday, Danish/Swed. torsdag) is named after Donar or Thor. The day was consecrated already in the antiquity to the gods Zeus and/or Jupiter (Latin dies Iovis, from it also French jeudi, Romanian joi, Spanish jueves, Italian giovedì) and with the adoption of the originally Babylonian/Egyptian 7-day week by the Teutons the Latin term was copied.

dBridge and Kabuki are true pioneers in the world of bass music. dBridge has helped drive the evolution of drum’n’bass since the early hardcore days, with projects as diverse as Sewage Monsters, Bad Company, the Autonomic night and his own label Exit. Kabuki was one of the first non-UK producers to leave a mark on the London scene in the mid-90s. More recently he re-emerged as a genre-defying beat wizard with his new LP, Meditations. The NEW FORMS series is the vetted duo’s most recent venture. Every two months they invite a guest to the Red Bull Studios Berlin to crank out a tune in a day – and premiere it at the Watergate club on the same night, dubplate style. This collaboration with fast-rising producer Stray was recorded as a live jam session on three NI Maschine workstations, and is now available in its full glory for the first time.

The song is 16/20 of the Red Bull 20 Before 16 series – 20 days, 20 artists, 20 exclusive tracks to take you into 2016. For more tracks and free download head to 20before16.redbull.com

Check out the Fabric article here: https://www.fabriclondon.com/blog/view/premiere-nulogic-share-a-new-track-from-somewhere-between-the-light

The Nu:Logic duo return with their combined genius to present a second full-length collaborative effort ‘Somewhere Between The Light’. As two pioneers of the signature Hospital sound, brothers Nu:Tone and Logistics have become influencers and tastemakers in the genre with a deep back-catalogue of smooth, soulful, liquid drum & bass. This 13-track long player soars through the same ethereal movements with a welcomed dip into new territory.
 
Tracks ‘Somewhere Between The Light’, ‘Side By Side’, ‘Driftwood’ and ‘Red Velvet’ are sure to satisfy the needs of those after classic Hospital rhythms. Heart-wrenching vocals delivered by the likes of Child of Chief, Thomas Oliver and Ed Thomas balance blissful highs with lower register tones. Fitting into their love of feel-good funk and bluesy grooves is ‘Nova’ with subtle horns and bouncing basslines in the mix.  
 
Nu:Logic have one foot firmly in the future with ‘Strut’, featuring fellow Gresham brother Other Echoes and an anti-drop switch up ready to dominate dancefloors world over. ‘Our Nights’, created with prolific multi-genre producers The Nextmen, shakes a half-time stick with a glistening roller feel. Other highbrow match-ups come from LSB in ‘Sepia’ and ‘Pathways’ with singer/songwriter Blake.
 
Separately and together these two continue on paths to success, with younger brother Logistics reaching BBC Radio 1’s playlist last year following his sixth studio album ‘Electric Sun’. For the last three years Dan Nu:Tone has become a crucial member of the Hospital A+R team, having an influential role in the progression of both up and coming artists and longstanding members of the family. Their DJ dates continue to take them across the globe with sets promised at the 2017 editions of Standon Calling, Mysteryland, Made Festival and the drum & bass baller Hospitality In The Park.
