Name: The tales of the old robot Zakary by Stéphane Berla
Duration: 3 min 27 s
Description: Composed mostly with the Teenage Engineering OP1, with some mix in Albeton Live.

"Romantically sombre but seductive rather than gloomy, “ Every silver lining has a cloud”, drifts like swift nocturnal stormy clouds from one track into another, subsuming everything in the mix into its blissful, towering soulful radiance that’s impossible not to get lost in. A Gem."

"Dramatic, emotional, melancholic, epic, dynamic shoegazer / post-rock in the spirit of Slint, Flying Saucer Attack, Mogwai, Gybe! and Labradford."

The tone is set immediately with the album opener, “Against all odds,” a lonesome Atlantic gale-blown ode to the wind-swarming of emotion and otherworldliness. And while “A stolen life" truly encapsulates the delicately mournful, tense and dramatic mood that heightens most of the album (unlocking, as such, a panorama of desolate and elemental grandeur with its subdued male vocals and cello), it is with “The leaden sky” that the album reaches its ultimate peak. The track commences with brooding, feverish washes of guitar, then grows into a graceful cinematic soundscape that veers from chaotic to dreaming and back again.

"Where Earth Meets Sky" is a textural piece that envelops the spoken word by American poet Ashley Rugge, who expresses with sensitive words Guillaume and Cyrille thougths. “Backward”, the tenth and final track, is a slow, flowing, hypnotic treated-guitar loop charged with an impending sense of dread, a sullen, doom-laden demeanor that is strangely affecting and utterly enrapturing like a David Lynch slow-motion dream-sequence; it ends the album on a pensive, haunting note.

	
The music flows like slow waves of vibrations. Layers of guitars end up a powerful symphony which brings immense depth to each song. Colors and personality of the music comes from Guillaume and Cyrille energy and common inspiration. They want to express beauty in contradiction with the ugliness of the world.

The air is on fire (Every silver lining has a cloud)

[Verse 1]
Hi this is Amiga speaking

Amiga is a family of Personal Computers introduced in 1985.

Amiga differed from other computers through the inclusion of custom hardware to accelerate graphics and sound.
Amiga was built upon the Motorola 68000 CPU
With several dedicated coprocessors :
- Agnus central chip with Blitter and Copper
- Denise video chip
- Paula sound chip
- Chip Ram
- Fast Ram

Years ahead of its time, the Amiga was revolutionary as it was the world's first multimedia, multitasking personal computer.

[Chorus x2]
	Amiga I love you (x8)

	Amiga forever (x4)
	Hi this is Amiga speaking
	Amiga forever

[Bridge]
Amiga forever (x4)


[Verse 2]
Amiga 1000
Amiga 500
Amiga 2000
Amiga 3000
Amiga 600
Amiga 1200
Amiga 4000
Amiga CD-32

4.8 Million Amiga were sold upon lifetime
Amiga was popular for video and music production and also for gaming
Amiga forever (x3)

[Chorus x2]

Monday afternoon ... new title in progress
To us , women

Anger

"Anger" Judith Bruneau

I have owned some microphones made by the great and good Jez Riley French, and really wanted to hear some stereo induction coil stuff... and then thought I would make one.  It's a piece of piss - just two coils (these are broken out of relays).  I took the screen and split it to each coil, then the other end of the coil is the L+R.  These are just my initial rough field recordings, unedited and untreated, very geeky, and to most casual listeners, awful.  

Those who know, enjoy - and please download and use in your work if you like them or think they might be useful.
