what a life

Backstory:

thxk_u  originally came over on 4/19/24 to participate with me in person for the first FABC (Flip A Beat Club) Phoenix Challenge.  Due to my physical health, me being able to participate in person at the venue isn't possible so thxnk_u being the kind and thoughtful soul he is, reached out the Nydia who is the captain the FABC Phoenix Chapter and arranged to get the Sample Crate sent to us, so we could participate remotely.  

The FABC event happened to fall on the same day as the Dibia$e sample challenge playback livestream on you tube.

So thxk_u came earlier in the day to watch the playback stream with me, while we waited to hear back from Nydia to get the FABC sample crate link (which didn't happen until it was too late)

Hours and Hours passed as Dibia$e played back over 200 submissions and we still couldn't reach Nydia so thxk_u asked if I would mind pivoting to showing him more of my workflow and sample chop process in Ableton live since the first previous time he was over trying to learn, he had leave early before being able to try to the process himself.

"Already Been" (Put In Work) [ re-imagined w.i.p. ]

So once again,  thxk_u created the drums, and I showed him all the boring prep work I have to do to set up before I even begin to chop a sample.  He did a quick practice take of chops using my method and asked if I wanted to add to it.  So I had him export the session and email it to me, so I would work on my desktop instead of his laptop.

Loaded up the session, while fighting back as hard as possible from being distracted by the tumor on my spine swelling up (I named it Quad, +1 if you get the reference) and in typical Dutch fashion, I kinda took over without even realizing it.  I shifted some drums around, removing some hi-hats, then I changed up the chops he just laid in the beginning of the beat and extended them a few bars before shifting gears quickly and creating the change up chops....      This whole process after the long resample prep-work part, i.e. creating the actual beat.... Drums, Chops, Sequence all happened in the course of like 20 minutes....A true microwave beat haha.

Unfortunately,  I pushed my body well beyond its limits that day and the night before so I literally could no longer sit up at my desk and asked thxk_u if he minded if we called it a night.

I did a quick, Realtime live resample bounce of our quick session and exported it as the audio you hear now.

"Crate Escape"

Ukeru is a collection of songs that filled the beginning of my spring. All emotions I've spun through as the plants have begun to tell their story and bring the world back from the brink of the winter, they're in here. Theres many things I didn't understand and many things I didn't want to understand but the bond with myself and nature helped me receive...ukeru.

Breeze  (BrimBeatz)

Lucky Me (Solow)

Serenity (BrimBeatz)

Dim light, vinyl crack
Slow beat, heart off track
Do I play the part?
Or just fall apart?

Walk into the room with a borrowed bag
Confidence high, but the seams still sag
Autocrat style in a rented frame
Money talks, but it don’t know my name

My heart says yes
But my bank says no
All dressed up
Nowhere to go

My bank says no
But my heart says yes
We dress in layers
For them to undress
Late to the party
The music is slow
Fashion is fleeting
But I still show

Used to chase treasures in the thrift store aisles
Cheap denim dreams, worn-out smiles
Now it’s Balenciaga on an empty card
Living the paradox, trying too hard

My heart says yes
But my bank says no
All dressed up
Nowhere to go

My bank says no
But my heart says yes
We dress in layers
For them to undress
Late to the party
The music is slow
Fashion is fleeting
But I still show

Looped voices fade
Hungover crowd
Static laughter
Too quiet, too loud

Fashionably late, I slip inside
The party’s gone, no place to hide
Are we starting, or have we departed?
The room is full, but the night feels parted

My bank says no
But my heart says yes
We dress in layers
For them to undress
Late to the party
The echoes flow
Fashion is fleeting
But I still show

Dim light, vinyl crack
Heart off track
Do I play the part?
Or just fall apart?

My bank says no (Lo Fi House reload)


冷たい渦に落ちた指先
思考より速く鼓動が変わる
言葉はもう役に立たない
I dream in ultraviolet tones

群れない星々に名を付けて
私だけの軌道を描いた
記憶も皮膚も、偽りで十分

No rules, no time, no border
Je flotte là où personne ne revient

In my alien world, 呼吸すら違うの
見た目じゃ測れない私の法則
In my alien world, 感じることがすべて
目を閉じたら始まる進化

拒絶された惑星の奥で
咲くのは私だけの感情
Orbit twisted, thoughts collapse

皮膚の下で踊る衝動
愛じゃない、それ以上の化学
Translate this? No chance.
Je suis l'erreur qui t'absorbe

Decoded once, I'm gone
ここは記号じゃない命

In my alien world, 欲望が形を持つ
制御不能、それが私の姿
In my alien world, 鳴らせその未知なる声
境界線はもう消えた

何度でも壊して繋ぐ
脈打つ宇宙にキスをして
Stillness bends beneath my will

声にならない、でも響く
忘れられた神々が踊る
Gravity sings my name in code

Decoded once, I'm gone
ここは記号じゃない命

In my alien world, 私は問いかけじゃない
答えなんて求めてない
In my alien world, ただ存在する
私という惑星、それだけでいい

In my alien world 私の異星の世界では

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.
