Canal & Cassette Chimes (disquiet0484)

Recently I was asked to come up with a patch to share on Tim Held's Podular Modcast podcast. I made this patch on my Hordijk instrument to use as the core of a live improvisation. Here is a medley of two brief improvisations.

‘WHAT DID YOU DO?’ ASK THE ELEPHANT TREES IN THEIR NEW POIGNANT ANTHEM THAT CALLS FOR CHANGE

Release Date: 25 / SEPT 2020 via Incantation Records
'What Did You Do' is a rhetorical, a comment on 2020, the year that changed the world.    A soundtrack for the UK in ‘post lockdown’.
Written by lead singer Martha Phillips during lockdown the band self recorded the song in their homes, and is the first fully self produced track by Martha, who has spent the last 6 months working on her production skills. The lyrics read like a biblical warning; ”there’s a change coming, a mighty flood or something” Martha says, “ In 50 years time where are we going to be, what world will our children live in? When they ask, what did you do, what will you say? We’ve all learnt about the depths of the climate crisis, black lives matter movement, and our unequal society, but what do we actually do about it other than post on social media and use a few woke hashtags. I include myself in this question more than anyone! When I wrote this song I was struggling with the constant wave of ‘bad news’ from 2020, and looked inward. I imagined my future family, looking at me and asking “but mum what did you actually do?”, the answer right now is very little, but by raising the question for myself I hope to inspire others too."

What Did You Do

It's high time that my luck would arrive
Bout burned out as a match on a fire
I waited all July just to prove I was right
that you were wrong, that you changed your song
I saw you dancing on and on too

What could have changed your mind?
Was it the words I used
Were they so smooth as I moved closer to you
As you're waiting to be moved close to

Well one day turned to Sunday
And Sunday turned into two dates
Now you're wondering what we're doing
If I kiss you on Friday will you miss me by Monday 
You're lovely eyes will tell the truth

Well I'm fired up with wonder
Don't tell your mother
I want you baby
Under my covers
No fire or brimstone could stop this lover
I want you baby
Under my covers to love

And on a July night well I'll make you my wife
If you'll take this dumb old guy
with my dirty shirt and crooked tie

Well one year turns to 3 beers
And 6 beers makes me switch gears 
From lovable to fairly annoying
We'll remember that first Sunday
And the next Tuesday when I was lovable
And kept you going

Well I'm fired up with wonder
don't tell your mother
I want you baby
Under my covers
No fire or brimstone could stop this lover
I want you baby
Under my covers to love

When you've seen the light and you've
Come to discover
When you lover her, just tell her you love her
You realize that she's got your number
When you love her, just tell her you love her so

I Want You Baby

My first track with the beautiful Mickleburgh Piano from pianobook.co.uk. Along with some LABs sounds from Spitfire Audio, I wanted to paint the picture of a cold day with the sun peaking through the grey clouds above the trees. The photo in the art work is by my daughter.

Most of this piece was recorded in 2016 but I abandoned it until I decided to clean my computer files up recently. I added the vocals and a few horn samples to "finish" it off.
It's "sister" piece which takes the same bass loops, speeds them up and takes it all to a very different place can be listened to here:

The original spoken word sample is by "wjoojoo" and can be found here:

"Musical Tapas - if the machine behind Florence was Biffy Clyro!"

The Elephant Trees have become a symbol [=] quite literally of remembering your roots whilst exploring exactly who you are and embracing every aspect of that INDIVIDUALITY.
