Lyrics:

(max)

Holdin on to you
I can see it your eyes
Said you wanted to 
But you don't wanna give me reasons why
Now you wanna fall in love
Baby you don't even know if i'm your type
We've been in the room just us
Gotta take a minute before i catch my flight
Uh- I know you want it bad
She wanna send me naked pics and see how i react
She wanna tell me that she love me so i buy her bags
Cause she not everything i wanted but i need it bad
You’ve been on my mind
I’ve been holding on too long
I can change your mind
If you really wanna know i can show you

(djembe)

I aint bluffing when i tell you that i need ya
Feeling heavy you can prolly even read my mind
Heart skip full beats when i see ya
Come direct baby i wanna waste your time
Ha, girl i need that
I can scream and let ya hear a little feedback
I pay every price girl believe that
Couldn’t even tell you why but it just feels right 
You just my type
Watch out baby i just might
Quick trip before i catch my flight
Baby if you say the word
I might stay the whole night Ya dig
Girl i know you know you better
I don't really try to get to know you better
Baby im just tryna see where your head at 
Say the word and let me get you in my bed ah

holding on (ray’s revenge)

My percussion brother Omar Joof found a djembe shell for me, which I glued aircraft grade plywood to. This is a trial of the different tones together.

LEPLAPTOP is a specially prepared group of composers coordinated by Rafał Zapała. The creators describe their concept as follows: "Our idea is a lazy deconstruction of the sound of instruments. We will disperse micro-sonic clouds of acoustic grains, using e.g. electronic granulation technology to achieve this.”

LEPLAPTOP to specjalnie przygotowany zespół kompozytorek i kompozytorów koordynowany przez Rafała Zapałę. Sami twórcy o idei mówią tak: „Naszą ideą jest leniwa dekonstrukcja brzmienia instrumentów. Będziemy rozsypywać mikro-dźwiękowe chmury akustycznych ziaren wykorzystując do tego m.in. elektroniczną technologię granulacji."

Participants:
Rafał Zapała (live electronics Max/MSP)
Paweł Opalczewski (acoustic guitar)
Adam Knychaus (djembe)
Jan Juszczak (beats, live act)
Julia Bartczak (voice, synthesizer)

Poetry I haven't been working on

Backing track / instrumental of "African Holiday" by the same artist. Just to dance to (or improvise over). Have fun!
"Fanga", a West African rhythm that i learned a long time ago and that was apparently played by the, sadly lost, 'Fanga' tribe when they went visiting ("Hide the beer everybody, i can hear the Fanga coming!"). It got me thinking about a musical journey i once made to West Africa, and how 'the youth' were playing drum and bass tracks on their drums, and how traditional music, and identity (e.g. tribal) evolves.

I play fingerstyle acoustic guitar and produce electronic music.
My adventure with music started in my childhood, but recently I've been working on music quite a lot and more seriously.
My tunes are mostly inspired by nature.
