Woke

You See What We See

Recorded & produced by Kuma Harada @ Barefoot Studios, Hoxton, UK
Written & performed by ShINRI
2014

Came by this as I'm tidying up my studio. 
2014, last time I made music in London. 
My parents were still alive.
Wow that's already 7 years ago. 
A lot has happened. 
A lot has been recorded. 
I need to start mixing down... 

Kuma taught me the basis of everything I know when it comes to recording, arranging and producing. 
He's my BURU, "brother-guru". 
He's one of the heaviest bassplayers I know. 
Spiritually Heavy!!!
ShINRI would not have been without him...

I was angry when I wrote this song.
I wanted to curse and shout and well this came out. 
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!

Fuck It

Pre-PROD: One of my visual assignments, class D18 SoundEducation, Utrecht, NL end 2018.
Lol, I got the assignment wrong! 
There was this 4m30 clip bout an astronaut and a fast car... so I thought we had to make a MTV vid type of thing so I put this song to the clip... Fit like a glove though...

Speed Of Light

“ All songs have a story. 
This release took longer than expected.
Serendipity had it that our dear friend Jean-Henri from the Morta Knives wanted some music in his Atelier.
Covid happened and the Afrobeat Icon Tony Allen passed.
Then my kinsman, friend an Afrobeat Icon Oghene “Mr OK” Kologbo died. 
Here’s my 1st official release ever. 
I had to start with this tune and this video.
I can’t think of a better way to honour Oghene “Mr OK” Kologbo.

The band SIGNS are all from Loire Atlantique, France. 
This is also where I live and where Mister OK played his final tune. 

Gaël Audrin on alto sax 
Malou Strauss on tenor sax
Ibro Jahtah on percussion
Stéphane Grimalt on drums
Nicolas Kong on bass guitar
Oghene Kologbo on tenor guitar
s h I n r I  tEE on vocals & rhytmn guitar

I know worldwide we’ve been losing loved ones at an alarming rate.
We walk in the steps of great people. 
May we fill those footsteps well and go beyond.
Les bonnes choses arrivent souvent tard... but never too late!

Judgement Day

Holding on why should I bother
Just trying to make life that little bit better
There’s nothing wrong with the pursuit of pleasure
I certainly want to stay high forever

Everyone wants to make something nice
Something big, something deep, something worthwhile
But everything right is hard to achieve
You must learn to swallow and you must believe

In yourself or in anything else
If somebody tells you they don’t need
Don’t waste to much time, confusing your high
Just accept that they are weak

Holding on why do I bother
Just trying to make life that little bit better
There’s nothing wrong with the pursuit of pleasure
Just know what to be and do that clever

I know what I know and I know what I don’t
I know what I could and I know what I won’t
I know when I’ve lost and I like to loose nice
That means you’re allright, you are facing the wise

I share all I have and I do that for me
Cuz that way I get new things easily
I treat you the way that you’re treating the T
Though I  know I could do as I like to be

Holding on, why do I bother ?
Seek, Seek and you’ll be found

Ofcourse what you feel is not gonne feel good
You’ve been hiding your lies whilst you’re eating our food
Surely you hear cuz you know what is true
Seek and they will find you

You grab and you snack, you don’t think of tomorrow
Longeavity is not a word you seem to know
There’s total anarchy around we
Just lift yourself and fucking be

Holding why do I bother ?  
I am a good child ? and I love my mother
I judge and I state, I’m loved and I’m hated
I’ve been where it rots and I’ve been with the sacred

You are laughing at others, I don’t want to know
But you are laughing at you, then at me, then still flow !
I bow, I chill, I smile, I will
Step down, behold and fucking grin !

Communicate with sound and force not words
Their definitions have been cursed
The picture of thought, the rhytmn of blood
That’s what I call love, pure love,  true love,  don’t stop

Holding on, why should you bother ?
Don’t ask me, I asked my brother
Like I said I love my mother
And I care about tomorrow

SEEK AND YOU’LL BE  FOUND

My mum was there… we sat on Goldhawk's roof terrace, his beat was on loop and I wrote “Holding On”. I got my cousin Alero to come in a week after to put a lead vocal on my chorus, to have a additional vibe… I believe it was during this session that she found her voice… she didn’t speak for a week after if I remember it well. 

When I played the 1st rough mix of “Holding On” through my 1000WATT, my neighbour Jason Leach from SUB BASS came in and got really excited by my latest recording! 

He was like: “What effects did they use on your voice!!! 
mOi: “Nothing fancy, I imagine a compressor and some reverb…” 
jAson: “No but the sound! wow! the sound” 
mOi: “Well G did have “logic 4.something” (i think it was at the time) and he had lots of fancy plugins!”
 jAson: “NO!! that doesn’t explain it! The sound…” 
mOi: Well G doesn’t even touch his mouse when he’s manipulating logic, I said… I’ve never seen anything like it! He’s so quick and knows 100s of shortcuts!” 
jAson: “NO! The room you were in, must have had a real unusual shape…”

You know what?! Jason Leach was right! The room did have an unusual feature in its shape. This enabled me, a few years later, to instruct Dan Sayers and Andy Dorman, to their great surprise, as to were in their house to put the mic to have the best vocal sound, when we were working on what later became “UNFINISHED BUSINESS”… but more about favourable room shapes later, as in not today!!!

01. Holding On

We had no returns (retour, monitors) on stage so we could all hear ourselves and the drummer really... So considering that, it was a great gig...

The jOhnhippie Project…

Yes yes yes
This story’s not finished
Simply

They were young, 16 to 21 when we started
They were still young when I left

We started in Monsegur
A proper London Double Decker is what brought us there
Chantal & Ian

I then met John Hippie & Sylvie 
& John brought me Bambam & ElGringo
& They brought the Laville Brothers, King Art & ‘lil Lou

They had all gone to this school you see
Eléonore De Provence
They have JAZZ as extra option on their curriculum, what more can I say…

Every singer/songwriter should have access to a team of siblings, in this case brothers, like mY jOhnhippie !
What great albums would be made…

Listening to this brings tears to my eyes

HIPPIE IN THE HOUSE NOW!!! 

Simply
This story’s not finished
Yes yes yes

If ShINRI with TACT saved my life then tHE jOhnhippie pROJECT put me back on my feet again.
Because besides our ARTHOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET & jOhnhippie the band…

I had a team of medical doctors who were all musicians so I finally learned how to hold a guitar without damaging my body and besides technique mézières kiné (Carole Hostein if you want one of the best, she’s in Bordeaux) I had electro physio/ massage/ remusculing almost every morning in the village at 2 min walking distance. 
Sometimes an evening session too.

Infact I had to learn how to walk… My feet weren’t touching ground. Little did I know then that already 2 of the 3 ligaments that hold an ankle together were gone. I had to rip through the 3rd ligament last year to find that out… though I had my suspicions… but that is a chapter of a different story (I have had new ligaments installed since by the honourable Dr Cherou, I recommend him highly as he is handsome, a genius and a man of God)

LONG LIVE THE KING

Lyrics: "breaking the silence

she got all the things she wasn’t allowed to develop
she got self worth, her dignity
she got her self respect, she got self love
and  she has inner peace

and they can’t take that from her because she gives it to herself

breaking the silence (that’s installed in a child that’s been used) is the only way to heal abuse

everything else follows this
we have healed our wounds, big gaping wounds
i live with the scars, scars can be poked
i’m self aware we practise self care

and they can’t take that from us because we give it to ourselves 

with the help of God
with the help of you
with the help of love
with the help of truth

we're breaking the silence"

the deeper i get into my soundtechnology and production course,
the more i realise how many disrespectful musicians i have let play my songs over the years...
i wondered why i didn't do this type of study before to realise i didn't have any money before...
as soon as i did i started
AND my studies
AND looking after my heavily autistic mum who has been diagnosed with a degenerative muscle disease
(actually we looked after her for 3 years already without any money)
AND getting a bunch of kids out of care
God has a plan! All is well!
being a child of God is not demonstrated by going to church...
what is faith without works!!!
besides it reads in the bible that where 2 or more people are gathered to praise God they are in church
thus i am in church ALL day and EVERY day when i'm at home with my little family
all those people my mum has shown care for... where are you now!!!
it also reads in the bible that the road to hell is paved with good intentions!

2017 
My father told me not to procrastinate like he did, he repeated this on his deathbed. So, this year, I will put all my recordings online... My quest for perfection, my search for a team of like minded people, the yearning to have my off beat guitar riddims well received and bounced back to me, the want to let the songs develop themselves rather than have standard ways and ideas. The pleasure to be not surfing alone on the gorgeous waves of distorted feedback.

Well this and more I think I have finally found... So every month I will put a year of my work online, except for January. To be up to date at the end of the year, I have put my first six self produced albums online in January, the boxed set : " t h e p r o b l e m w i t h b e i n g m e ", which incidentally's also all that I did in England before I came to France.

t h e p r o b l e m w i t h b e i n g m e includes the albums

- 3.5MinutesDarling
- A Space i Made
- Unrehearsed & Underpaid
- basha, e9
- j u d g e n o t !
- Nostalgie

It is a bit of a mess trying to find quality soundfiles after all these years of moving through Europe. There are wavs, aifs, mp3s, m4as and wmas... anyways a version of each song has been uploaded. I will be making slight changes (uploading superieur qualities where possible) and adding lyrics and background info as to the creation of each song and why it is in the state that it is was left... Voila what more can I say :-)

Everything may be downloaded free of charge and actually we will put all the surviving wavs and aifs on bandcamp where against a small donation ("even just a smile") you may procure yourselves those.

Praise God!

Coming to a place near you soon...

PEACE 'N' BLESSINGS
