Sir John Conant Recounts The Beginning Of His Farming Career In Rutland

Originally written and recorded as 'Barrett's Privateers' by Stan Rogers

“In the mid-nineteenth century, arguably the brief 'Golden Age' of vernacular organology aboard British ships, Arkwright's Privateers was one of the most popular 'chanteys', or accompanied work-songs, amongst the general maritime population. Though it did encroach upon naval vessels, it was amongst merchant crews and private ventures that it displayed the greatest tenacity; these vessels were often crewed by Midlands men, whose bravery and Romantic fate this song handles. It is also a prime example of the esteem in which sailors from the county of Derbyshire were held, an almost-mythopoeic pedestal from which they have never descended, not even in the present day.

The tune was likely sung on deck to the simple beat of a drum, most often as a 'hand-over-hand chantey', used in the task of setting the jib and other repetitive hauling tasks. The key evidence of this designation is the call-and-response component of each verse's first line, followed by a repeated refrain which keeps a tight rhythm, allowing for methodic application to the task at hand.

Despite its regional appeal, and its reliance on knowledge of mid-English folklore regarding the 'Derbyshire Sailors' and their adventures, versions of it have been recorded by folklorists up and down both littorals of the Atlantic, even as far south as the Antilles.”

Dr. Mark Tollas, from his introduction to 'Hilo, Boys, Hilo: A New History Of The English Ululation'

The Copeland-Long restoration of the earliest known recording of computer music, recorded at Alan Turing's Computing Machine Laboratory in Manchester in 1951. Read Copeland and Long's fascinating blog account of the all-night programming session which led to its creation, and Turing's reaction on hearing it the following morning:  http://blogs.bl.uk/sound-and-vision/2016/09/restoring-the-first-recording-of-computer-music.html

A short stereo excerpt of a longer 8 channel work. This is a sonic investigation into community and gentrification in the London neighbourhood of Walworth. It has traditionally been a working-class neighbourhood with more recent residents coming from all over the world. The area has been subject to several contentious ‘regeneration’ schemes that have already caused the loss of 1100 socially rented homes of the Heygate Estate.

Cataloging

Recorded by ethnomusicologist Rolf Killius in 2001 in a Sora house, Tame Gorjang village, Orissa. 

The musical structure of the performance is interesting: the lead singer begins the song with the second singer following just seconds behind. This results in an 'echo' effect that seems unique to the Sora, though a similar style is used in forms of both North and South Indian classical music where the accompanist (sarangi or violin for example) follows the singer.

One of the last Black Country chainmakers, Lucy Woodall, sings the worksong ‘Chainmaker lad is a masher’ and talks about singing. 

Recorded by Roy Palmer in Old Hill, Dudley, West Midlands, England. There was much iron and coal production in this area of England since the 1600s and chainmaking, centered around towns south of Dudley, was a flourishing business, now defunct. Songs like these are documents of our history and heritage.

I was on percasets for days cause I couldn't take the pain
Third eye growing pressure bust out the veins
Eighth Wonder, I devour predators,as prey
Tip of the giza pyramid,
High power strain
Game so darwin
Who got the balls of the high horse get the fame
Niggas campaign and shame
Thinking they Obama but never making change living by the string

I'm at ascension now
Purpose is to fill the life crescent now
Can't take the darkness away
But this full moon be a blessing now
Mother naturale beat the beat cause it's my fucking child
On Belt Parkway mentally on Orion
Saying that I'm gonna turn my world to zion
Telling yall the truth, since these niggas been lying
You can't fall off, when you are motherfucking flying with the clouds

Chorus

Writing out the armory
Angels please talk to me
God is in the arteries
A demon can't martyr me

A demon can't martyr me

A demon can't martyr me

Writing out the armory
Angels please talk to me
God is in the arteries
A demon can't martyr me

Verse 2

So while I'm eyeing on the high end
Keep a cloud around me as the camouflage
So if you see me you getting high
Then
Grinding while I'm gliding
With some hopes to get a west indian float
Nigga that's not a joke!
Niggas can't revoke a nigga
I been open nigga
I been showing niggas
Without talking bout my pussy soaking

You don't know you nigga
Trying tell me how to get off shelf
I'm just trying be myself

Y'all can rock a diamonds
I'mma rock saturn's belt

Y'all can take heisman
While I got the pulitzer prize
And the noble peace

Even if I bullet through eyes
The speech is for the peace

Niggas need to retreat
From the fake deep
Bring it back to streets
Give it back cause my mother's mother gotta to eat
E.b.t to b.e.t
Tired living off the government thats also trying put me six feet deep

Hi friends, I present to you a compilation of remixes that I made between 2005 and 2010 of various artists that have either been rejected, unreleased or just straight up unfinished.  Some were made for fun while others were for hire.  Needless to say a lot of the mixdowns are, well, questionable. Either way, nice effort right?
With Love from Berlin,
