Lyrics

All we have is this moment,
Of some twisted perfection.
An idea that two can make something of you through ties of affection.

Well I can see it in your eyes your souls a fire,
It's burning bright like the midnight sun,
A blurring of the truths which you desire,
Flicking off your poison tongue.

I'll never be what you want what you see through your eyes,
I've always been one to look, one to see through your lies.
Well I ain't got nothing, ain't got nothing holding me down, holding me down.
No I ain't got nothing, no nothing holding me down, holding me down.

I think I'll survive this road alone,
Tomorrows a brand new day I'll be happier on my own.

Well I can see it in your eyes your souls a fire,
It's burning bright like the midnight sun,
A blurring of the truths which you desire,
Flicking off your poison tongue.

I'll never be what you want what you see through your eyes,
I've always been one to look, one to see through your lies.
I'll never be what you want what you see through your eyes,
I've always been one to look, one to see through your lies.
Well I ain't got nothing, ain't got nothing holding me down, holding me down.
No I ain't got nothing, no nothing holding me down, holding me down.

Through Your Eyes [Ft. La Mar]

Premiered by Complex Music ~

Produced by Christoph Andersson
Written by Devon Baldwin and Christoph Andersson

Lyrics:

I was chained to the bottom
Dreaming of the horizon
Barely bruising the surface
Just a scream in the ocean

And when I felt it the most
It's cause you said it was so
Holding back while we both implode

And when the guns are all fired
All that remains is desire
No turning back once the lies unfold

Cause I have been through ocean
I have felt the rage running deep
But I'm lost in a true devotion 
To the things you do to me

Beneath the weight on my shoulders
Every vein running colder
In this love we keep falling
Never lost never closer

How soon we seem to forget
Everything that we regret
Throw our arms to defend the change

A bittersweet tragedy
Disguised in love’s gravity
It's just the insanity I crave

Cause I have been through ocean
I have felt the rage running deep
But I'm lost in a true devotion 
To the things you do to me

I know that sometimes the darkness
Makes you grow restless
But this is nothing new

Your tide can be so relentless
It leaves me defenseless
It brings me back to you

Following 2010’s release of the Kitchen. Label classic “sketch”, ironomi returns with their long awaited seventh album, a 3CD 164 minutes collection entitled ‘niji’ (English Translation: Rainbow). Joining pianist Junya Yanagidaira and programmer Yu Isobe are a stellar line-up of their most loved collaborators and contemporaries. In ‘niji’, the record is marked by the same tranquility and fleetingness of their sound but also offers a slight departure from the traditions of ironomi’s previous recordings with the addition of other instruments (Saxophone, Contrabass, Koto, Violins etc) contributed by the guest musicians on each of the 12 tracks - Featuring Nobuyuki Nakajima, Jyoji Sawada (Choro Club) as well as members of the Kitchen. Label family ASPIDISTRAFLY, haruka nakamura, ARAKI Shin, Akira Uchida, Rie Nemoto among many others.

ironomi has a sound which is almost enigmatic to describe. One could listen to their albums on an ambient level and just let the music flow through. Or one could listen closer and find a detail in the sound that is intricate and palatable. ironomi’s impressionistic ripples of piano fragments generate the cumulative feel of a gently flowing river or the shifting play of light through the leaves of trees. ironomi is like nature, a sound of nature that has existed from the beginning and free from any judgement.

The duo’s music is distinctively less about conventional compositional structure than it is about the creating and sustain of mood. For each of the recordings in ‘niji’, improvised sessions were recorded and the best takes were kept intact with very minimal post production. The works showcase ironomi’s capacity to construct compelling music in real-time, their melodic-harmonic imagination as an improviser and ability to consistently find and shape new forms with each of their collaborators also sharing the same strong sense for the dialectics of sound and silence. A wishful charm imbues this entire recording of pieces which, though not written together, seem to have been predestined for each other in this album.

The latest album is highlighted by almost 40 minutes worth of music recorded together with haruka nakamura on classical guitar, whom he had spent his early formative years touring and collaborating with the duo on numerous occasions. In the collaboration with April Lee and Ricks Ang of ASPIDISTRAFLY, voices are striving to be heard and a song was unexpectedly born from the improvisational session. The result is perhaps the most strongly lyrical piece of ironomi’s releases to date.

“niji” is available on 3CD and digital formats on 24th December 2015. The physical CD copy comes in a customised letter-pressed folio. The cover is designed with a unique holographic foil which cause a refraction that creates constantly changing light reflections and prismatic colors. All linking back to the symbolic representation of the miraculous hues of ironomi’s sound world, trapping the listeners in a peaceful space of pure sound and sonic allusions.

Imagine Dragons - Demons

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils

Nils Frahm - You

I was excited to see this wonderful collection of little piano vignettes released by Nils, one of my favorite piano players and people. The simplicity of these pieces and the honesty I feel in the music communicated a sense of ease and exploration that I immediately connected with.  This is my rework of a beautiful passage contained in the song "Re".
