Robbie Seed - Stargazing (Onra Remix)

its the in-between moments that scare us, the moments between the highs with friends, sitting alone on the edge of the bed, staring at the wall, trying to feel something, embrace the sadness and emptiness, give them the space they need, they are valid, need to be felt. lets embrace them, don't be afraid no more, hold yourself

at the same time this is a set with all my favorite songs that calm me down and remind me of summer evenings spent with my friends at an outdoors bar, laughing together, enjoying the heat of the summer days

den abend ausklingen lassen

Are you afraid of the in-between moments?
Die momente dazwischen, wenn du kurz innehälst und dich fragst was du hier machst
Dein Konzept kurz gestört wird, die distraction aufhört
Macht das dir Angst?
Und liegt hinter der Angst ein Potential?
Was machst du hier eigentlich die ganze Zeit?
Bist du glücklich? Welchen Sinn gibst du deinem Leben?
Wie schön die Chance zu haben sich diese Fragen zu stellen

The in-between moments
Die Momente, um dich selbst auszuhalten
Auszuhalten, was nach oben kommt wenn du von nichts abgelenkt bist 
Einsamkeit vielleicht, Trauer, Schmerz, das Düstere
Ich denke, dass passiert nur wenn man sich nicht oft genug die Zeit für sich selbst nimmt, und sich nur dann Raum für auch die schmerzhafteren Emotionen gibt

Ich denke, wenn man sich viel Zeit für sich und die in-between moments nimmt, mit dem Konzept am Ende ist, lernt man das Potential darin zu entdecken, die Stärke die man in sich trägt, die Freiheit, die darin liegt strukturlos zu sein und seine Konzepte aufzubrechen

The inbetween moments
Do you embrace the magic of the inbetween moments? Do you feel the little glimmers of new opportunities and different Perspektives
Dont be afraid

the in-between moments

I wanted to release these beats for a few very good reasons. Firstly, It’s already been
a decade since this project began and some of these productions were published.
Secondly, these beats still give me the chills and make me nod my head. Thirdly,
there is a story behind the sounds that I got to tell and if I don't, I'll regret it.
This album’s story began ten years ago in Tokyo and Kyoto. I visited record stores
such as “Tower records” in Shibuya. Met some connaisseurs of the traditional
Japanese music at these record stores that helped me out to dig for samples. Still,
remember this guy named Kota and still feel endless gratitude to him, cause without
knowing he set this project off.
The influences come from a deep mix of feelings and a variety of music genres, from
world traditional japanese music to electronic beats and synths, while blending
elements of hip hop, trip hop and bass style.
I tried my best to make them not sound cliché, to convert intangible, fleeting and
intrinsically infinite thoughts into sounds. Didn’t stress about being fair or being
absolutely right. Experimenting with contemporary arrangements, new recordings
and latest ways to use my effects is all this album needed.
There’s more to it than notes on a page and vibrations in the air. The metaphors are
in there, so when you listen to the album just let your feelings peel back the layers. I
am just revealing different tales through virtuous samples, loops, synths and effects
with a pinch of tense in them. Afterall, Bop ma step is a canvas on which you paint
your own interpretation of the artist’s work.
