Viola Demo

A darkly tribal spaced out technoid remix of Royksopp's Tricky Tricky by Sezrah Sylvan. 

Tricky Tricky - Sezrah Sylvan Remix

An original song of mine. 
I produced the song in Acid Pro 7 using some very good plug ins and a USB condenser mic to record my vocals.
I played a handheld african instrument and also the viola, which are subtely in the track to give the song space, and also I sang backing harmonies that are more like a pad,but add a little melancholy to the song.

IThe song's about accepting the past and realising that you did stupid hurtful things to other people which isn't a great feeling. I wrote it about an ex who comes to me alot recently in my dreams. This song was written and produced in a day as I had to capture the feelings some of these dreams possess. I hope he will listen to it some day. 

Lyrics:
I tried to swallow my pride,
but I can't help this nausea.
The secrets I kept inside my self,
deserve more than this inertia.

Yesterday's a step away,
from what have could have made today.
But looking backwards to the past,
reminds me that life goes to fast.

I don't know why, I feel this way,
it's like you haunt my spirit.
I know you're gone,
lost to the seas,
but I found your message sinking in me.

Yesterday's a step away from what have could have made today,
but looking backwards to the past,reminds me that life goes to fast.

I move on, I am in a, new suns orbit, today. 
But you're still there, shining in space, the space that once was emptiness.

Yesterday's a step away from what have could have made today,
but looking backwards to the past,reminds me that life goes to fast.

Yesterday

This song is another original song of my own, I used Acid pro 7 and Native Instruments FM8 to create this song. It captures a childish naivety, a youthful playfulness. I imagined that if this song was a picture it would be a sepia photo of children playing in the summer sun oblivious to the worlds negativities and adulthood repression.

I was inspired by the great works of Autechres 'Incunabula' and Mouse on Mars's minimalism.

Pandoras Box was an old song of mine, which was very dark sounding in atmosphere. I wanted a more upbeat song to play live so I remixed it.
I used Acid Pro 7 and NI FM8 and Massive to make this song, I also sang vocals and wrote the words.

It's about... well use your imagination ;o) hehe!

Ghosts, deep in my bones,
lost in the cracks and the shadows.
Tonight I let them emerge,
a serge of emotion.
An urge, excitement swells in my blood,
it burns and I yearn for it.
A print, it stings, embossed on my skin.

Release, release me.

Like white witches, 
in the fire.
Wraps us in a deep sapphire.
This is what I lust after,
cleansing you in my lava.

Lay me to rest,
dressed all in  white,
bright as the moon,
soon to be full,
cool as spring tides,
subsiding inside,
as two worlds collide,
left the ghosts all behind.
