Lyrics:
Strange communication
A cryptic vision
A truth untold
Strange communication
A new beginning
An endless road
Lost – forever
Strange communication
An unclear message
The way unknown
Strange communication
A sudden ending
A dead-end road
Lost – forever
Forever

Strange Communication

A X6402 collaboration:

STEPAN
TaNezha x Six Four Zero Two

–
THE COLLABORATION
This X6402 Collaboration is with 'TaNezha'  (Tetyana Nizhynska) who is a singer based in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The lyrics were written and sung by TaNezHa, a capella, in the style of a traditional Folk song. 'Six Four Zero Two' created the music, responding emotionally to the story and mood: "I wanted the music to soar and weave fluidly around the constant that is the voice".

THE TRACK
‘Stepan’ is a story about the strength of a young girl whose partner goes off to war and is lost for some time. When the people eventually gather to hail the Cossacks triumphant return, he is not with them. The girl is forlorn and returns home where, she finds him waiting in the courtyard. A joyful return to love, peace and their homeland.

CREDITS:
Lyrics and Vocal: Tetyana Nizhynska.
Music, Instrumentation and Production: Six Four Zero Two.
Design: 6402.

LYRICS:
Translation from Ukrainian.

There, in the meadow at the edge of the forest, a girl was walking,
looking for healing thyme, mint and roses.
She was singing as she walked "I am collecting the potion for Stepan,
so he can stay strong and defeat the enemies".

When she went to the valley she saw Cossacks,
returning home to Nenka (homeland) in a big crowd.
"Oh, you men, you dear fellows, how happy I am to see you.
Where is my beloved Stepan? I yearn to see him".

"Oh my dear, we do not know, he did not follow.
We know not of his fate, we have not seen him".
The sweet girl burst into tears and went home.
“Where have you gone, my Stepan? My eternal love".

"Oh, you dear man, if only you all would come back home.
Let all of our enemies be gone!", the sweet girl cried.
Then, as she entered the yard she saw Stepan,
waiting there, to joyfully meet his beloved girl.

Stepan (TaNezha x Six Four Zero Two)

Started as bass groove after going to a Thundercat gig, needed something else so came up with the 11 note repeating figure on guitar which was then doubled on keys to give an almost Steve Reich type effect. 

One to check out start to finish if you have the time, thanks for listening. For the guitar geeks there's a wee solo at the end.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Warwick 5-string Corvette through NI Guitar Rig and during the 11 note sequence section sustained notes on NI Monark synth bass.
Guitars: Suhr Custom Classic and Strandberg Salen Jazz through a few instances of NI Guitar Rig. Short solo at the end is the Suhr.
Keys: various NI, Arturia and Spitfire.
Mastering: Ozone 10 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.

Talk It Up

method: crave, voice, vt 4, reface dx, voice, r20, samplitude ... it's more or less in b locrian, I guess ... a fitting mode.
Narration: the original title is ‘70s synthesizer‘ in the cycle SONIC CASCADES (as published in A SINGLE LOOP OF FORTUNES). imagine a family in Western Germany. it‘s the 1970s and  conforming to strict norms is the latest rage wherever the youth invasion (o for the horrors of the 'gammler'!!!!) had to be fought off. I spent the decade (and more) going to school and trying to cope with fellow human beings …. and there still was this all encompassing being …..  the best mode of survival (at that age, at any age) was identification ….. 
Image: copyright jo richter. it all started out with a portrait of my vt4 ;-) we're all robots anyways, aren't we? (still, no AI involved, - i'm just gimping my way to jerusalem!)

poem / copyright jo richter:

she steps in 
from the balcony
steps in to soothe
the tan on her skin

OH, WHAT A FIRE
MIGHT BE LIT
TO SMOKE OUT, TO BURN OUT
THIS SCENT IN HER HAIR

so many days
in her infancy
days she was told
to stop fidgeting

OH, WHAT A NOISE 
MIGHT BE MADE
TO FORCE OUT, TO DRIVE OUT
THE WEEDS, THE WEEDS

she spells out the spells
on her rosary
spices and herbs
flown in from the south

OH, WHAT A TIME
MIGHT BE HAD
JUST FIND OUT, JUST TURN IN
THE PLACE TO BE

so many veils
of dependency
too many veils
untangling within

OH, WHAT A SELF
MIGHT BE CUT
FROM STENCILS, FROM SHAPES
THAT WITHER WITHOUT

she sits down
in the living room
this is the room
where she lives

Quantec - Journey of Mind // Neighbour Recordings 004 // 2 x 12"

OUR man Quantec is nothing if not versatile. An aficionado of many styles including ambient, deep house, Detroit, dub, dubby electronics, experimental and roots reggae, he can turn his hand adeptly across the musical palette. For this his latest release on Neighbour Recordings it’s all about the ‘D’; deep ambient, drone and dub techno that’s dope with a capital ‘D’. Not for nothing is his album titled Journey of Mind. It’s a personal and self-assured trip from first note to last – not surprising for a producer with almost 25 years in the game – drifting as it does through contemplative sonic worlds and ethereal soundscapes. And while the label co-owner’s handiwork here is from the ‘less is more’ school of production, it’s nonetheless big on atmosphere with an undercurrent of drama or melody never too far away. Notable destinations on this journey include Depth of Immersion, Mind Wandering, Motionless and Perfect Stranger. Bon voyage.
