THE MISSING BATHROBE

just a few tracks from my 2020 listening experience.

Playlist2020

To find your place you must face your peers.

Let's Compete

Spring Multi genre Part1

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Seek The Seeker by Tainted Icarus
Photo by Tobias Zielony, The Opening, 2005

Opened my email Saturday morning and lo and behold in my inbox was an invitation to join this years Adam Audio Competition. 

This years picture had this impending feel.  An event is pending for these two...and from the looks on the faces, it felt like some stress was on its way too.  

Welcome to my entry into the fray, to win a beautiful pair of custom Adam Audio A8X.  

This project is a huge departure from my normal production methods and is truly the first time where I can say this is a Tainted Icarus engineered project. Shredded the rule book and used the knowledge to pursue the desired sound.  

If you get a chance my friends, jump in to the competition, have some fun...maybe win some prizes.  

You can find it here: https://www.adam-audio.com/en/soundtrack-competition-2018/

See you on the battlefield!!
Peace and love

Seek The Seeker

Competition - Adam Audio Competition 2018 - Seek The Seeker

Updated 2/7/19 - So ends another HOFA competition and another uneventful milestone on the highway.  Another round of tough competition with % or two here or there determining victors.  The industry isn't a kind one...and until you have your name on a platinum they don't hand out participation trophies.. hahah  So buck up my fellow clouders and high spirits.. for we dared to ride into the unknown...next year we shall have them.  Who ever you eight people are who clicked a like for me on the HOFA site I owe you one.  

Hi everyone and happy to announce that HOFA is running is mixing/remixing competition... If I remember right it closes up 1/21/2019.

You can find it here: https://songcheck.de/

My entry into the fray is here if you are interested in supporting me: https://songcheck.de/song/1810/

Took the day off yesterday for a couple of music buis type classes on rights and licensing.  Once I finished, took a look at my to do list and saw the HOFA competition.  This years track, Maryam, is a fantastically cool piece of work, with a great arrangement and stellar performances.  

On the engineering side pretty flawless recordings to work with.   I tried to keep the jazz feel alive. I got the mix to a place where I was feeling it, then quickly pushed into mastering.  Went the all analog route for mastering with multiple eq and compressors and a smidge of limiting.  

If you have some time would highly recommend trying the competition out. I spent some time listening, the competition is going to be tough this year.. a lot of heavy hitters. But what I can say without a doubt is,  you will learn something from the project.  These have provided me a eureka moment with every competition. 

Mine on this one was with reverb..some of the room tracks were a bit tacky when stitched in for my taste.  So I rebuilt them from scratch.... its the first competition where I was like hmmm... I might be able to get a cleaner result by doing it my way...that is a huge milestone to pass.
  
Finally one of the reasons to enter is that they will typically send out a coupon as a thank you for coming to the party.  Used mine to pickup the system and more specifically Algoverb.  IMHO probably one of the best plug in reverbs out there.  

If you go tell em Icarus says hello... haha  Don't worry that puzzled look you get,  while they shrug their shoulders and look around... its all part of the act!  :)

Lyrics: 
Maryam Words & Music: Jochen Sachse 
Verse1  
Maryam, you hear the words 
you wonder, yet accept them 
as for you there is nothing impossible
 you feel the plan – oh Maryam 

Verse2
Your way leads you through the mountains 
Step by step to the foreign city
 highly welcome and expecting 
you enter and are recognized - Maryam 

Interlude
The whole world is moving
 as never before – no place for you
 bear the hardship without motion
 until your child sees the light of day
 
Verse3
 Maryam, you see the offerings
 the guided ones gave abundantly
 because they know the mercy
 of your path 

Verse4
Maryam, you hear the words 
you wonder, yet accept them 
as for you there is nothing impossible 
you feel the plan – oh Maryam

Thank you so much Kevin (Mr. Cagey), Fady (Mr. The sporz), Tim (Three Photons) and JJ (Subject To Revision) for giving feedback to the song when the work was in progress!  

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

Lewitt Mixing Competition

Saint Agnes - Move Like A Ghost

Mixed By Tainted Icarus

As December starts off my friends its back to one of my yearly guilty pleasures.... the competitions.   Even if it doesn't net a win... its a year over year marker of progress.   I hope you will join me this year.  It runs until the end of December!  So still time left to mix!

This track by Saint Agnes is a live single room recording.  This style of recording presents a whole series of interesting issues to deal with.  Without a doubt a fantastic reason to jump in and experience a high end recording and get a chance to deal with industry standard issues.  

They have a great 1.5hr video that walks you through the mixing process.  I would recommend doing that after you finish your work and you can see the differences in process.  

https://www.lewitt-audio.com/mix

Hey you can have some fun too while your at it!

A shout out to Bill (https://soundcloud.com/november-love-680008043 )from November Sound,  who I asked to help me with identifying issues. After a while you start to lose the necessary objectivity! One of the greatest assets you can have is an engineering friend who will really try to help you eek out the best version of your work.  For being that Bill you have my gratitude!!

Special thanks to Brian (Another set of ears).  To Lewitt for hosting the competition, the plug-in and the mixing video.  Finally to the band Saint Agnes for allowing a group of hungry engineers to mess around with pro level work..  Thank you and rock on brothers and sisters!

Competition - Move Like A Ghost by Saint Agnes - LEWITT mixing competition

Update 2/15/20 - Another year down... another lesson in humility,  always next year!  

https://hofa-contest.com/song/3738/

Welcome to what looks to be my the last competition for 2019.   HOFA is hosting its annual Christmas mixing competition.   When I got the invite a few days ago I took a listen and was like.....ugggghhhh!!!  An "a cappella" which puts me in my weakest spot for a starting position.  

The human voice when on a piece of music, ends up being one of the most important/relatable parts of the piece.  A great vocal performance can prop up a band... but it very seldom works the other way around.  

It's been one of the more challenging things for me to mix properly.  Here is the 2019 HOFA competition and the only thing on it, VOICES!!.  Challenge accepted HOFA and here is where I ended up brothers and sisters.  

The competition closes out in January so still plenty of time to get into the competition if you want to have some fun....working the faders.  I mean common what else could be more fun?....(blushes)  Really people, such dirty minds!!  haha

https://hofa-contest.com/

Happy Holidays brothers and sisters

Special thanks to Bill from November Sound( https://soundcloud.com/november-love-680008043 ) for being an advisor on the project... Big thank you for this and all your support in 2019. 

On a slight comedic note to one of our own:  Sunnidayz always mentions not being a techie...  If you get here sister.... I fought my production rig for 3 hours this morning to print the final mix and master...  Had everything set last night... wanted to sleep on it before finalizing.  This morning bam..kerchunk..bzzzt....with every session crash... I was reminded of those things you mention, about it getting in the way!  Three hours of fighting for 20 minutes worth of work!!

✏️ Lyrics
A silent escape 
The beauty that takes a hold on me
It’s like I have everything
I don’t need nothing else at all

Riding the wave
Feeling the possibility
A soul remembering 
That we were never made to fall…

I am hypnotized
Watching the world outside
And it just can’t reach me now

Alive; high in the endless skies
I’m over the city lights
Where my feet won’t touch the ground
My feet won’t touch the ground…

I am hypnotized
Watching the world outside
And it just can’t reach me now

Alive; high in the endless skies
I’m over the city lights
Where my feet won’t touch the ground
My feet won’t touch the ground…

Hypnotized

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,

2020 Adam Audio Competition

Create 30 seconds of music to go with the picture.  When I looked at this picture at first it conveys what might feel like something normal.  

If you gaze at it for just a little longer... it begins to feel a little more like a veneer of something else.   Notice the lighting, every shop window other than the cafe is empty,  the apartment windows above empty too..  The light behaves weirdly...etc.

I get something very dystopian from this scene...something that at first placates my senses but when I look deeper,  something a bit more sinister seems to be lurking here.  

I guess that is what being an artist is all about right?  Looking for meaning in things..  Peace and love!

Kill the fear
Even though the world looks the same,everything may change for ever
the planet is in reset
written and produced by Jim Manser 2020
watch the music video for c02 on https://youtu.be/CA7pZ2dk6xk

lyrical content
looking at the corners of my room 
there is germs in the air and the sound of a sonic boom
maybe this is the final destination
for all the fake news and the media manipulations
starts so small with imagination
spreading across the world the the different nations
whats it gonna mean for people like me and you
fever fever isolation
how you gonna deal with the death of a nation
some get sick and some may hide
ever get the feeling we all been denied
c02
globalization 
and a realisation
this is man maid so you better be afraid
all the frightened masses
gone off in a panic  theres no solution
this is how its played
the man on the tv says theres nothing to fear
but im sweating and a shaking cause i feel it getting near
i want to run away but im losing my direction
if its time for an extinction
or another resurrection
watch the music video on youtube https://youtu.be/CA7pZ2dk6xk

C 0 2 [watch the music video on you-tube]

Okay. Here’s the thing. I obviously know what’s happening right now, but I refuse to feed the frenzy, the paranoia, as I refuse to feed the fear. I’m not discarding it, and I understand that some felt the need to produce tracks about it, and they did an awesome job. I guess it’s all covered, with no need to add to it. I’ve got plenty of pasta….and toilet paper, so I’m wealthy.
So, joke aside here, I choose to do something upbeat, something to dance to maybe. 
So yes, let’s be safe out there, but let’s keep living and being happy. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

IT'S JUST MADE OR MADE FROM LOVE OF YOU
INTO THE WORLD IT GROWS BECAUSE OF TWO
AND THE LOVE HAS BEGUN WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT
YOU'LL BE HAVING SO MUCH FUN
GROWING IN THE EYES OF LOVE
YOU WONT HAVE TO MAKE A CRY

IT TAKES TWO TO MAKE THE WORLD GO AROUND
AND THE WAR BEGINS BUT THERES NO SOUND
AND THE SUN HAS GONE DOWN, I STILL SEE THE LIGHT
YOU WONT HEAR THE BABY CRY 
AND LAUGHING IN THE NIGHT
AND THERE WONT BE TWO
(chorus)
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA MAKE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME BY YOU
I WANT TO MAKE IT, WANNA SEE IT COME TRUE
I WANT TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HOME WITH YOU

(✍ LYRICS TRANSLATION BELOW)A song written and composed in tribute to all the people who suffer from confinement, hospitalization, isolation, loneliness, to families who have lost a loved one, to our elders who we cannot visit and who are leaving alone ... To impossible love ... to Christophe who left on the night of April 16 to 17, 2020, author and performer of "les mots bleus" youtu.be/7K7KettmHR0
and many other masterpieces of French song.

Une chanson écrite et composée en hommage à tous les gens qui souffrent du confinement, de l'hospitalisation, de l'isolement, de la solitude. Aux familles qui ont perdu un proche, à nos ainés auxquels nous ne pouvons rendre visite et qui partent seuls... A l'amour impossible... à Christophe parti dans la nuit du 16 au 17 avril 2020, auteur et interprète de "les mots bleus" 
https://youtu.be/7K7KettmHR0  et de bien d'autres chefs d'oeuvre de la chanson française.

"DANS LE CREUX DE TES REINS"
"IN THE HOLLOWS OF YOUR LOINS"
*Lyrics, vocal, mix KidofEarth*

Enclosed between 4 white walls,
I was however well nestled between your breasts.
Locked up, still for how long?
How gray the weather is! I don't see anything anymore.

I want to find you at the bottom of the bed
of our endless love.
Breathe, run away from here
and feel the warmth of your hands.
Kneeling on the floor of my room
with empty walls that speak only of boredom,
I pray that it will be returned to me,
my freedom, my darling freedom ...

I was however well, in the hollow of your loins...

Sprawled on this damn white bed,
I dream of a new spring.
Still taste these divine moments
passed in the hollow of your loins ...

Image not my own

I went searching for silence on a noise riddled day,
walked to a wood, on a thicket I lay.
Speckles of blue through canopies of green,
when the tinkling of ivories come calling to me.

There were moments of magic, pulse soaring scores,
 the voice of an angel shook to me to my core.
She said "Don't you just rest there grab your guitar and play,
join me in a melody, forever and a day"

Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
from inside your heart and out through your soul.
Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
sing out, sing out with me.

I went looking for peace and I found it that day,
the rest is my history believe me when I say.
There's been moments of magic, pimple skin scores,
when the voice of the angel askes me back for more.

Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
from inside your heart and out through your soul.
Oh let it flow, make it go, let it flow,
sing out, sing out with me.

Well you came to me, helped me breathe, 
gave me something to believe in,
I found my peace, a brand new lease of life.

WHERE HAS THE DAYLIGHT GONE
THE NIGHT LIFE IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD
AND WHEN THE SUN IT COMES YOU FALL AWAY
AND WHEN IT FALLS AGAIN YOU'LL SAY

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
