@luxxuryproblems

For a new episode of our regular ethereal mixes, we invited audiovisual artist Manuel Sékou, also operating under the moniker luxxuryproblems.

The artist’s mixes appear to a listener as diaries of subtle, seemingly tangible sensations and labyrinths of images. In the new material, he layers microtunes onto texture-rich fragments, as if breaking the recording into a series of successive frames.

Previously, luxxuryproblems was published on labels such as SPA, 76666 and Gem Tones, and has also contributed tracks to compilations from Katharsis, Sirens, World Canvas, Comic Sans and Infinito Audio. Two years ago, his latest mini-album “Flexfit” was released on SPA.

Early in the morning, rain falls on Lake Cernek and insects sing. Sometimes mallard ducks dive into the lake through the bushes.

Verse 1
We hunt through the past in a treasure’s old lore,
Clues etched in time spark a patriot’s core.
Ben Gates seeks the truth where old riddles endure.
Aladdin soars high on a carpet’s wild flight,
A lamp’s golden glow lights his dreams in the night.
With Jasmine, he steals hearts in Agrabah’s light. 

Verse 2
Peter Pan glides where the starlight still gleams,
With Tink’s glowing spark, he chases wild dreams.
He duels Captain Hook where time fades in streams.
Pocahontas runs free where the river meets sky,
Her spirit soars high with the eagle’s proud cry.
The wind’s vibrant colors guide her heart as it flies. 

Chorus
We chase epic tales where our heroes take flight,
With magic and courage, they blaze through the night.
Our hearts race as one in their bold, timeless throng,
In these movie worlds, their legends live on. 

Verse 3
Sleeping Beauty dreams in a tower of stone,
A prince cuts through thorns to claim her as his own.
True love’s gentle kiss wakes her heart to be known.
Cinderella shines in a gown spun by light,
Her glass slipper gleams in the ball’s mystic night.
Her dreams find the prince though the clock strikes her flight. 

Verse 4
Alice falls deep where mad wonders unfold,
Cheshire’s sly grin twists the tales that are told.
She finds her own strength in this dreamland so bold.
Arthur pulls steel from a rock’s ancient might,
With Merlin’s wise words, he steps into light.
His heart builds a realm where all legends unite. 

Chorus
We chase epic tales where our heroes take flight,
With magic and courage, they blaze through the night.
Our hearts race as one in their bold, timeless throng,
In these movie worlds, their legends live on.  
Verse 5
Quasimodo climbs where great bells loudly ring,
His heart’s gentle strength makes the shadows take wing.
For Esmeralda, his love burns like a spring.
Lady and Tramp stroll ‘neath the moon’s silver glow,
A stray and a lady let sweet romance grow.
Their spaghetti-string kiss binds their hearts in a bow. 

Verse 6
Jafar’s dark schemes weave a villain’s cruel reign,
But Aladdin’s sharp wit breaks his power’s cruel chain.
The lamp saves Agrabah with its magical flame.
Ariel dives deep where the ocean waves sing,
Trades voice for her legs, chasing love’s human spring.
With friends, she wins freedom where dreams take to wing. 

Bridge
Pinocchio dreams of a heart that’s alive,
With Jiminy’s wisdom, his true soul will thrive.
Truth shapes his spirit where honest dreams strive.
Kuzco, a llama, trips through jungles with flair,
Pacha’s kind heart shows him how to truly care.
From selfish to selfless, his light starts to flare. 

Verse 7
Mowgli swings free to the jungle’s wild beat,
With Baloo’s bare joys, life’s a tropical treat.
Bagheera’s wise care finds his home in the heat.
Hercules fights with a hero’s bold might,
From mortal to god, he ascends to the light.
He saves Mount Olympus with strength burning bright. 

Verse 8
Kenai roams free where the spirits align,
With Koda, he sees through a bear’s sacred sign.
Love binds their hearts in a wild, timeless shrine.
Mulan wields her sword with a fearless, sharp mind,
Her courage and Mushu leave fears far behind.
She saves all of China with honor enshrined.  

Verse 9
Flik’s tiny courage makes small seem so grand,
With misfits, he fights to protect their small land.
His heart leads the way where brave dreams take a stand.
Jim Hawkins sails through a cosmic star-sea,
His map lights the path where bold dreams run free.
In ships made of light, his strength sets destiny. 

Chorus
We chase epic tales where our heroes take flight,
With magic and courage, they blaze through the night.
Our hearts race as one in their bold, timeless throng,
In these movie worlds, their legends live on. 
Outro
From Neverland’s stars to the jungle’s wild call,
From seas to high castles, these stories enthrall.
We adventure through tales carved in timeless old stone,
These movies spark hope, and their dreams linger on.
