Wow! That’s a really great piece! Nice sparse instrumentation, haunting vocals, great thought-provoking lyrics. Thank you for this, Sharon!

Disquiet Junto Project 0579: Memory Serves
The Assignment: Rerecord a piece of music.

I chose https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/track/star-spawn from a 2017 release, which means I may have made it 2016 or 2015. 

Originally it was completely made with the compact DAW Caustic for Android. This time I used only the MIDI data export and rearranged it in Reaper with u-he Repro and Arturia Mellotron. 

Main objective was to get closer to my perception of the spirit of Berlin School style sequenced electronica. I put a lot of efforts in it and it is definitely more sophisticated. Nonetheless I'm not sure wether I really like it more than the original in every aspect. 

Artists name is now Etherkraken as he is my Berlin School personality, visible here: https://etherkraken.bandcamp.com/

Say It's True is really about how people deal with grief and loss. Sometimes we just want it to all go away.

Say It's True

Can't Catch Polly is an indie-blues song exploring the theme of movement and our connection to our bodies.
I was lucky to spend a lot of time working alongside dancers and engaging with movement in 2023, and was further inspired by seeing PJ Harvey live and being as mesmerised by her movements as I was by her voice.
Ths song starts from this awestruck perspective, but the 'she' referred to by the last verse could be any one of us.

A digital release of the song can be purchased at : https://sharonmurphymusic.bandcamp.com/track/cant-catch-polly

Released November 3, 2023
A Hidden Door production.

Can't Catch Polly

COMPUTER AGE

This isn’t Sunday anymore
It’s nearly 10 AM . . . I haven’t been out the door
No I haven’t been out the door
I used to work down at the factory
I thought I paid my dues and did all my degrees
I thought I did all my degrees

It seems they gave my job away
And they told me this was a computer age
Oh no . . . computer age

Another worker heads toward the line
To join the other ones that all got left behind
They got left behind
These new machines they bring us luxury
But I hope technology will feed our family
I hope it feeds our family

Thinking about tomorrow, and what that really means
Who can compete with all the new machines ?
Oh no . . . the new machines

-BRIDGE-

Some time soon, when things fall back in tune
Just like they always do, as old makes way for new
As old makes way for new

COMPUTER AGE . . . COMPUTER AGE

Some time soon, when things fall back in tune
Just like they always do, as old makes way for new
As old makes way for new

This isn’t Sunday anymore
