THE TURTLE PROJECT - ANCIENT FILES EP 2

Paul Hazendonk returns on his own Manual Music imprint with the final part of his Signature Series trilogy. Yet again presenting two brand new originals that cross over between various genres within the melodic electronic music spectrum.

First up it's 'Unagi', a massive and intense peak time dance floor bomb that will leave you with the feeling that you've been slapped in the face... in a good way! Paul's trademark arps build up the tension towards a roaring ravey bassline only to revert back to emo mode during the beautiful piano break until it's all systems go again. Proper madness this one!

The accompanying piece 'X Is Forever' is a more heady and intelligent piece. Starting out with a minimalistic arrangement and wobbly bassline, a mysterious vocal gets introduced early on which turns out to be the trademark element of this song. Of course the ever present arps make their introduction as the track gently builds on towards it's climax. A lovely piece of work to end the Signature Series trilogy!

Myself and a few friends have created the follow up album in the series, we are very pleased and excited to bring you 
 "The Ancient Files ii"
I will be posting the next parts in due course , enjoy :)

Lyrics-

Apologies for the delay sir, but we finally have the remaining files ready for you
Well don’t delay me any further, I must hear them at once
Yes sir, right away

There’s nothing but devastation as far as my eyes can see
Did they really push the button?
Did they really?
Did they really?

I don’t see any signs of life as far as my eyes can see
Did they really push the button?
Did they really?
Did they really?

I rest my bones on the hillside
Gazing at the orange sky
Looking desperately for signs of life
But there’s not a single bird in sight
There has to be somebody out there
I can’t be the only one
There has to be somebody

The Fifth File

The next part in the series of The Ancient Files
This part features @juxtamusic and @icondark 

Lyrics -

I head out across the fields
Avoiding the burning trees
I realise I can still feel
As I’m showered by the ash of the leaves
I hear a distant squawking
Of a bird flying overhead
Circling around me
Like a vulture over the dead
He’s followed me for miles
He’s as curious as me
I’m feeling like we’re bonding
In the confusion of what we see
He’s getting closer minute by minute
Now he’s feet away from me
Something spooks him
All of a sudden I blink
And he’s gone

Over here

Who is that?

I haven’t seen a soul
For so very long
Don’t know if I can trust you
I guess I’ll move along
It’s not safe in the open
You know that they might see you
Find somewhere to hide
Somewhere out of sight
Away from this place
I took too much of a risk
I think they sense me
I think this might be the end
But I don’t really care
I’m ready
I’m ready
I’m ready

Wait, you’re the only other person I’ve seen
Don’t go

The Sixth File

Part 7 of the series featuring @juxtamusic with music from @nakedverse

Lyrics

Why do you think that someone’s watching you? (I don’t know ………)
Tell me what you know
All I remember is a huge explosion
Since then I’ve been alone
I don’t know how many left on the ships
To that brave new world
Maybe they knew more than they were telling us
Help me, I’m confused
(Leave me alone)

You’re asking me so many questions
It’s no longer clear in my head
All I remember is, I had to run
‘Cause they wanted me dead
Yeah they wanted me dead
And I’m not talking about
The aliens
I’m talking about the army
They seemed to see me as a threat
They just wanted me dead
They just wanted me dead
Now all I need is
Yeah, all I need is
Someone to trust
Is that you?
How do I know?
Is it you?

Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you before I lose my mind?
Can I trust you?

They came after me too, but I lost them during the explosion
I’ve been documenting as much as I can and they wanted the files
You can trust me.
I’m not sure where we go from here but we’re safer if we stick together
Come on let’s keep moving

File Seven

part 8 on the series featuring  @juxtamusic @blackeyebutterfly with music from @skaarl

Lyrics

Listen

Head for trees

What are they spraying?
We need to find cover fast
Come on, this way

I don’t feel good

It’s the spray
I think they’ve drugged us

I need to sit down

Yeah, we’ve picked up two more, we’re heading to base now.

The Eighth File

Part 9 in the series featuring @winkandwoo and @blackeyebutterfly

Lyrics -

Is that all you have?

I’m just uploading the others now sir.

Where am I?

Come with me

Where’s the other guy that was with me?

Don’t worry he’s here
There’s someone who wants to meet with you both

Welcome to our humble abode
Won’t you make yourselves at home?
I’m sure you’ll understand there are some rules you need to know
Protocols that must be followed

Now you’re here we’re gonna look after you
So never leave this place, unless with a group
And never speak a word that’s less than the truth
All our members have been carefully chosen
So you can trust in every word that gets spoken
We only tolerate the honest and open
Don’t trust anybody outside these walls
You must speak of this place to no one
You mustn’t jeopardise this work that we’ve done
And you must share with us all that you’ve seen
There’ll be no secrets once you’re part of this team
Only together can we fight to be free

Now you’ve been acquainted with our laws
I trust you’ll see they’re similar to yours
We have much to discuss but not today
Take a rest for now enjoy your stay

The Ninth File

part 11 in the series featuring @winkandwoo

Lyrics -

Good evening gentlemen
As you are newcomers here
I thought it best to explain a little about
Who we are
And how we came to be

They're walking among us
They thought we'd never know
They manipulated us
To fight against our own
They've played with us like toys
They've moulded the way we've grown
But ever since the truth got out
There's only one way this can go
They could be any one of us
They are masters of disguise
But with the more that we discover
We're learning to see the signs
They show a lack of expression
There is emptiness in their eyes
And a certain little glint
Of evil in their smile
They've fed us all with propaganda
They've lead us into war
They've sat amongst the leaders
For a thousand years or more
They’ve been controlling all of us
Like putty in their hands
We've assembled here, this army
As Humanity's last stand
They could have been your father
Your mother, your best friend
You'll never know who to trust
Ever again
You may as well put your faith
In what we are doing here
We're the ones who'll keep you safe
You've nothing more to fear
Tell us of your interactions
Outside of these walls
We need to piece together
All evidence for the cause
I’ll grant you a little time
So you can gather up your thoughts
We'll meet a little later
When you're ready to reveal all

The Eleventh File

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
