Messing with the nn~ operator in MAX/MSP and two pre-trained RAVE AI models resulted in this uncanny voice recording. Strangely stuttering, but almost language. If you'd like to see exactly how it was created, check out the accompanying video @ https://youtu.be/WwNYD3Sm4H4

Johnny’s on the Water was learned from the singing of Appalachian folk singer Jean Ritchie (1922 - 2015). It twists the archetypal story of a woman left behind by a sailor, the singer rejecting grief and finding empowerment: ‘if he can live without me, I can live without him’. This line became the heart of our arrangement. 

We created this arrangement in residence at Snape Maltings in 2022. In slowing down the tempo, destabilising the rhythm, and replacing Ritchie’s sparse dulcimer accompaniment with an ensemble of modular synths, guitars and affected strings, we explore the way that the open sea warps our understanding of time and distance. The trumpet solo was played by Lissie Daly, a tireless campaigner for women in brass.

FAITHFUL JOHANNES X NEOCIA

Sincerity rapper Faithful Johannes and producer Neocia's debut collaboration.  A childhood obsession with astronomy collides with devastating moment the 2008 moment that NASA's Ultra Deep Field image revealed graphically how terrifying big the universe is.  It really is easier not to think about it.

I wrote this song in 2002 about how sometimes we become haunted by the memory of a first love or someone special we have lost in our lives. Sharri sang this song beautifully way back in 2002. I had the pleasure of recording her singing some of my songs and she did an outstanding job on all of them. I wish I would have been a better musician with better equipment back then but I will be producing several more videos of her singing my songs in the future. I have like 8 or 9. The video is very spooky but artsy as well. I hope everyone remembers their first love. Is anyone still haunted by that love? If you are, come join me, down memory Lane!😱

“HAUNTED”

HAUNTED,
THAT’S WHAT I’VE BECOME,
SO HAUNTED,
FROM NOW ON,
EVER SINCE THE DAY I LAID EYES ON YOU,
I KNEW I’D NEVER SAY GOODBYE TO YOU,
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE,
I WILL ALWAYS BE,

SO HAUNTED,
AND UNDER YOUR SPELL,
I’M HAUNTED,
IT’S JUST AS WELL,
‘CAUSE I AM BUT A KINDRED SPIRIT WHO,
WILL ALWAYS BE IN LOVE WITH YOU,
AND FOREVERMORE BE HAUNTED TOO,

Letra(LYRICS): Cada día

Cada día recuerdo tu nombre y solo pienso, yo solo quiero
Todo el tiempo recuerdo tus ojos y solo quiero llegar al lugar
Donde estarás y no mirar más hacia atrás

Todo el tiempo viajamos sin rumbo y cada día cruzamos el mar
Solo queda un puente al final para seguir
Tus sueños y más en cada ciudad
En cada momento, cada noche, pensando en ti

Tu y yo en cada momento
Corremos en busca de la vida para ser libres

Cada día, todo el tiempo, vamos juntos
A tus sueños
Cada día, todo el tiempo, vamos juntos
Por el mundo
Cada día, todo el tiempo, vamos juntos
A tus sueños
Cada día, todo el tiempo, vamos juntos
Por el mundo.

Nuevo sencillo 'Cada día' próximamente en plataformas!

I’ve Been Dreaming of You is a bittersweet exploration of a life spent battling depression. Set to a euphoric, shimmering soundtrack, I’ve Been Dreaming of You sees HEIGHTS begin to embrace the aspects of herself she can’t control, whilst also finding beauty and gratitude in the good days when they come. 

Manchester born, Brighton based independent artist HEIGHTS creates the kind of emotive alt-pop that could soundtrack your favourite coming-of-age indie film. The self-produced songwriter blends 80s new wave with 90s dream pop, sprinkled with 00s alternative indie. The result - soothing electronic soundscapes perfectly complimented by her celestial vocals.

I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF YOU

It's approximately the year 2067 and due to a mass glitch in everyones unified internal brain devices the tune Poliplex is being constantly transmitted to every human ape and hamster. With no respite just forever playing on and on. All other music has been deleted forever, as it only came from one place and no one had a back up as complacancy of lifestyle had long been socities way. Unfortunately a hard reset to delete said music would kill everyone, as at this point in humanities time full symbiosis with the device had become fully intergrated on a molecular level and iirreversable. Also everyone had long forgotten how to make music as there was no need as AI where the only composers left. So for the next 305 years Poliplex was on repeat until the very end.
