Update 2/15/20 - Another year down... another lesson in humility,  always next year!

Welcome to what looks to be my the last competition for 2019.   HOFA is hosting its annual Christmas mixing competition.   When I got the invite a few days ago I took a listen and was like.....ugggghhhh!!!  An "a cappella" which puts me in my weakest spot for a starting position.  

The human voice when on a piece of music, ends up being one of the most important/relatable parts of the piece.  A great vocal performance can prop up a band... but it very seldom works the other way around.  

It's been one of the more challenging things for me to mix properly.  Here is the 2019 HOFA competition and the only thing on it, VOICES!!.  Challenge accepted HOFA and here is where I ended up brothers and sisters.  

The competition closes out in January so still plenty of time to get into the competition if you want to have some fun....working the faders.  I mean common what else could be more fun?....(blushes)  Really people, such dirty minds!!  haha

Happy Holidays brothers and sisters

Special thanks to Bill from November Sound( https://soundcloud.com/november-love-680008043 ) for being an advisor on the project... Big thank you for this and all your support in 2019. 

On a slight comedic note to one of our own:  Sunnidayz always mentions not being a techie...  If you get here sister.... I fought my production rig for 3 hours this morning to print the final mix and master...  Had everything set last night... wanted to sleep on it before finalizing.  This morning bam..kerchunk..bzzzt....with every session crash... I was reminded of those things you mention, about it getting in the way!  Three hours of fighting for 20 minutes worth of work!!

FELINE FEVER

You are my prized possession
My one and only obsession
I'm never gonna give you up
Give you up
Oh-No not me
No-No

You are my true desire
My boy flamin' fire
You're the only one who brings on
This high feline-fever in me

And when the lights go down at night
I'm gonna put my naughty on strong
Well it's what you want
I'm gonna make you sweat
Til' you can't sweat no more

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin' me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on
Without even tryin'

Cuz' Y-O-U Honey
Are makin' me wild and crazy
Your boy flamin'-fire 
Turns me right on
So goo-ood

It's in the way you walk
It's in the way you talk
Ahn, it's in the way you dress 
You know it messes with my head
It messes with my head

It's in the way you look at me
Gazin' all so prettily
Baby you're turnin' it on
You're turnin' it ah-on
Wo-Oh...Oh

You are my Baby
I need you to make me wild and
Wild and crazy Baby, Darlin', Honey Bun

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on 
Without even tryin' now

The main motif is a 5-beat phrase, counting the rest at the end; so it keeps turning around in 4/4 time.

SWINE B4 PEARLS

Of Those That Were There, Few Will Ever Forget

She trudged through the mud
Licking her fingers to savour that one last meal
Conscious of the townsfolk at her heels
Conscious
Just conscious from the beating she fled
Left half dead
Stinking of puss, cum, sweat and dirt
There were stains all down her skirt
That provided memories of the good times
The bad times
Each penny she had earnt
From the trade she'd learnt
And how the townsfolk mocked her for it
But she just did what she did to make ends meet
To put shoes on her children's feet
And food in their hungry mouths
She listened, sure that she could hear them crying from afar
But they were tucked up safely in their beds
Sure to be looked after by some kindly family
Who tell damaging tales of what mother was like
Stalking the streets at night
Propositioning under the moonlight
But as she cried "Murder! Murder!  Murder!"
Nobody heard her
Nobody chose to hear

Nobody Chose To Hear

If you ever feel free enough to fall, slipping into moon shadows
and the sweet abyss, then give it a kiss and jump inside!

Re-Evolution Cafe' Orchestra is an multimedia, sound and art project, featuring sonic canvasses and videos for your perusing: "eclectic musings" and "musical disambiguation", sometimes with lyrical commentary, sometimes not even a mere word. Near an unassailable flow, memory re-asserts its musicality.

Life forms commanded by code and intuition.
All code can be hacked!
Re-invent your paradigms.
Hack into your code.
Re-define who you are.
This is a yoga, 
this is you...
