There are more important things in life than guitars, triangles, talking drums and non-talking drums.

There are more important things in life...

Listened to a bunch of Malian tunes before producing Jamuary Day 8’s tune! Lots of love to music from West Africa. Thanks for listening, all!

This track starts off slow and gentle but then kicks up its heels and gets going!

Using my purple Pearl Tongue Drum in the scale of C Akebono, I spent time improvising and experimenting with layering. Then, using the Guitar-to-Bass (G2B) effect on my looping pedal, I recorded the Talking Drum and boosted its bass frequencies with the G2B effect, creating a galloping and driving bassline to propel the song forward.
Then I recorded a long live performance with the Talking Drum, to which I eventually add a low-pass filter for more layer separation.
As you will hear, most of this song consists of live performance of one of the 2 instruments.
There are passages of music wherein you will hear me "noodling" uncomfortably (experimenting with sounds and tempos while looking for complementary frequencies or patterns), and there are other passages of pure creative bliss and enjoyment.

It's messy in parts but aside from the Reverb, Chorus and Low Pass Filter effects that were added on in the live performance, everything is 100% made on real instruments by a real human and that still means something...

Adventure sounds like THIS

Tzayla has spent her life traveling the world, collecting over 20 instruments, and blending the sounds of different cultures into her music. She calls it World Indie Pop—a fusion of the foreign and the familiar, just like her: a Filipina, Mexican, and German artist living in the States.

Through her music, she brings cultures together and invites listeners on a journey—one that sparks curiosity, opens new perspectives, and inspires exploration, both of the world and of the soul.

Pantonepapi weaves together a rich palette of genres, including Funky House, Afro-Tech, and hypnotic rhythms to create an enchanting musical experience.

If I speak in the tongues or languages of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, 
love is kind. 
It does not envy,
 it does not boast, 
it is not proud. 
It does not dishonor others, 
it is not self-seeking, 
it is not easily angered, 
it keeps no record of wrongs. 
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails. 

1 Corinthians 13 - Christian Bible (NIV)

Whatever you've told yourself about the fabric of reality just to fit in and feel "safe", or to hide away from the world, is a lie.
Do Not Conform
