Ecstatic Dance SF - 2022

An "unplugged" preview from my forthcoming album Elfhame. Not exactly raw acoustic, as there are virtual instruments here as well as some synth atmospheres, but "acoustic" was the handiest term I could think of for mixes without the usual heavy beat and bass of the main mixes.
I will be releasing the "acoustic mixes" as well as the usual dance mixes on my Bandcamp page. I hope you enjoy this quieter and more subtle version of the track, highlighting the framedrum , tamborine, and melodic elements.
About this tune : "Mirie It Is While Sumer Ilast" (Merry It Is While Summer Lasts) is the oldest English secular song with surviving notation, originating in the early 13th century. The lyrics are in Middle English, the language of Chaucer.

"Mirie it is while sumer ilast
with fugheles song. 
oc nu necheth windes blast
and weder strong. 
Ey ey what this nicht is long. 
And ich with wel michel wrong
soregh and murne and fast."

"Merry it is while summer lasts
With fowl’s song.
But now nears the wind’s blast
And weather strong.
Oh, oh! How this night is long!
And I with very much wrong
Sorrow and mourn and fast"

Mirie It Is While Sumer Ilast (Acoustic)

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

i miss the long nights
where we’d dream right through each others devastation
miss the prayers we'd say, to bear the wieght of all this crazy making
miss the blissful shaking heartfelt stake we’d claim for making
love until the dawn

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

I miss the silk-ness in your voice
whispering through dissenting choices
miss the curious way you’d say my name
on windless flames and
seeing through the architecture’s
bold conjecture, sometimes less is more
when making out like bandits in the goldmine
of songs before time

i miss the stars
dripping thick like honey
from your heart
your dark light beating brightly
in the night
ancient stores of passion
dropping sudden wild confessions
in a breaking open fashion

for life how you breathe into me
sing of this mystery through
my listening feeling taking
over every moment
waiting for your next move
swell pushing comes rushing to
crash over everything
and leave me weightless

Among the stars….

Weightless

Break Free

Medicinal Poetry by Niema Lightseed (https://niemalightseed.bandcamp.com/)

This gun in my hand,
made of metal pulled from Earth,
forged in fire born of a song nearly forgotten,
was once a sword was once a shovel was once a glimmering deposit we knew to leave be to feed the trees to feed us.

Hate obliterates all of us, and our descendants. 
Force without wisdom is only destruction.
People taken or pushed off their lands survived through songs carrying codes carrying prayers that one day a future us would remember and reweave the tattered tapestry.

How do we unravel the stories that bind us and lies that define us?
How do we repair the bridges that wind us into the spiral of irrational eternity?
How do we renew the world?
We owe the future nothing less than our full commitment to interdependent freedom.

Returning to Desert Trax for their second EP release, Jakare unites old-world aesthetics with opulent sound design in their tribal organica voyage, ‘Schizophonia.’ A soulful blend of classical instrumentation, downtempo atmospherics, and exhilarating digital grooves, Italian duo Halfred and Lo.Renzo’s vision of sonic shamanism incorporates elements of folkloric music and dance floor electronica to paint a unified portrait of global music for the new world. Channeling the vibrant sounds of nature and the uplifting energy of Latin American musical culture, ‘Schizophonia’ pierces through the noise of an evolving planet to create a refuge for celebrating the unifying colors, tones, and timbres of the human spirit.
