"Broken Open" - Broken Open

artist: @thehumanexperience
label: Slow Down
release: 02/14/2017

"This is an age old story, of a man once a boy..."

On February 14th, David Block aka The Human Experience opened his heart to the world as he released his 6th full length album (collaborations and EPs excluded). The album, titled "Broken Open," examines the depths of the most difficult of human emotions, the "age old story," love. "Broken Open," like love, is complex and wrought with all that comes with falling in love, being in love, letting go of love, and (most importantly) loving oneself. The 13-song album immerses the listener in sadness, joy, compassion, bliss, peace, and all of the other beautiful feelings that come with experiencing what it is to love and to be loved.

The title track, "Broken Open," showcases Block's talent for blending electronic compositions with organic sounds featuring heartbreaking vocals and a piano that makes you feel like you're in a smoky jazz club which transition nicely into the scat-like snaps in "Traveling Blues," and a trombone (played by Mal Webb) that makes you feel at turns excited and lonely.

When asked about the album, Block said, "The songs explore the full spectrum of love; Birthing from innocence to heartbreak to love in the other to breaking free to finding love in oneself" - from highs that make you feel as though you're "Walking on the Moon," to heart wrenching lows as love "Slips Away."

True to form, Block showcases his talents while embracing the strengths in others. The album has many incredible collaborations, with tracks featuring The Grouch, Quixotic, Leah Song (Rising Appalachia) and more.

Block has built a diverse fan base from countries around the world and played events ranging from Burning Man, Boom, Coachella, Electric Forest, Wakarusa, Lightning in a Bottle, Sonic Bloom, Symbiosis, and Envision to name a few. David has shared the stage with artists such as Thievery Corporation, Bonobo, Tipper, Emancipator, and many more.

While Block's sultry beats and cohesive sound have always been seductive, "Broken Open" brings a brazen vulnerability that comes with maturity. More than just sharing emotion with the listener, Block provides something more - something new. "Broken Open" goes out on a stylistic limb which is both innovative and refreshing.

"It is different, and I'm embracing that it's great to be different sometimes," says Block.
 
The album serves as the debut album for the "Slow Down" label.

SaQi - Dreamtime Ft. Shazieh & Attallah

To celebrate the summer solstice we are incredibly excited to present Ñuka Shunku, the debut EP by Ecuadorian singer-songwriter Huaira. 

Support / Download: 

Based in Quito, Huaira is one of the leading names in the emerging Ecuadorian scene of young musicians and producers seeking inspiration in the country’s folklore and reimagining what it could sound like in the 21st century. Huaira’s name first received global recognition for her collaboration with Nicola Cruz on his track Colibria, from his debut album Prender el alma but on this EP her own talent as a songwriter shines with four beautiful tracks inspired by the incredible nature around her and Ecuador’s rich ancestral roots.

On Ñuka Shunku, which means “I am pure heart” in quechua, Huaira shares a sound that seems to embody Ecuador’s incredible landscapes -  the lush rainforest, the soaring mountains and the stunning beauty of her country. She presents a new, deeper, more spiritual aspect to the organic-electronic scene, as if drawing her own voice and lyrics from the earth or madre tierra itself. In her own words:

“It is sharing a message that comes from the earth itself, from the ancestors. Tangible ideas that materialise in music to inspire, celebrate and share the roots of our untameable America, a continent that never stops to remind us of something we often forget: we live in a paradise.”

On this EP Huaira worked with three of the biggest talents from Ecuador’s new wave of folk musicians, brothers Pablo and Julio Vicencio (sons of legendary Ecuadorian folk musician Mauricio Vicencio), and guitarist Diego Illescas. An example of the collaborative nature of the global scene, Ñuka Shunku also features collaborations with fellow artists exploring the meeting of folk or roots music with electronica Rodrigo Gallardo, and El Búho alongside Alejandra Ortiz from the duo Minük.

Huaira and her band will be on tour in Europe this summer playing in seven cities and sharing their show in places like Fusion Festival in Germany, amongst others.

------
Shika Shika is a collective without owners for music without borders and over its two years of existence has created a platform for artists all over the world to explore the versatility and richness of organic sounds or folkloric music through the lens of new technologies and electronic production.

Morning Star (feat. Sandrayati)

"Soul Visions" is a collaborative album by The Human Experience and Rising Appalachia.

Name Your Price for the album here: http://thehumanexperience.bandcamp.com/releases

“Rising Appalachia" is a genre-bending force of sound that uses vocal harmony, traditional instrumentation, roots music, lyrical prowess and diverse artistic collaborations to defy cultural clichés and ignite musical rebellion...

“The Human Experience” is David Block’s principal project as a live 
electronic composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer. Listeners 
experience a delicious symphonic blend of prismatic soundscapes and
sultry beats.

Rising Appalachia and The Human Experience met many years ago on the shores of southern India. After spearheading each of their own unique musical paths, they have joined forces to birth a soulful new electro/acoustic collaboration, merging sounds from around the world in an elaborate artistic love-child of beats, voice, banjo and bass. "Soul Visions" is their first step in the long journey of bringing together electronic music and soul, folk and ballads, bass rhythms and swamp-womp in an effort to bridge worlds through aural exploration. "Soul Visions" speaks to the lover and the dance floor, the ritual holder and the song collector and the visionary and the shadow-worker... bringing deep root sounds into a highly mechanical world.

Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your continued love and support. You mean the world to me.

“We don’t play music, music plays us” – David Block

At a fundamental level
We are more than just billions of atoms
We are all vibrations
We are all sounds
Everything in the universe
Is a sound
One's thoughts
One's intentions
Are sounds
Our love
Our fears
Are sounds
Our Hopes
Our Dreams
Are sounds
Vibrations
Inaudible sounds

All songs are the original compositions/productions/arrangements/mixes of David Block
(The HumanExperience).

Songs listed as “live” were performed, mixed, orchestrated, and recorded live on the Roland Fantom X8 by The Human Experience and are unedited. All parts played by The Human Experience unless otherwise noted.
