We are deeply saddened and concerned with the recoveries of children's remains at Canada's Residential Schools.  We fully support, and stand by, the Indigenous communities in demanding retribution and restitution from Canada's Government and Church establishments.

"Residential schools were run by the Canadian government and churches to forcibly assimilate 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children. Sweeping sexual and physical abuses were common and thousands of children died. According to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, about 4,100 students were killed, but that number is likely to climb. Experts think it’s closer to 15,000." vice.com, June 24, 2021
————————

June 23, 2021, 1323 children were found in hidden unmarked graves at former residential schools across Canada and this number is rising.

The lyrics for There You Are come from a monologue Myrh recorded on June 17th as the number rose from 319.

THERE YOU ARE
across boundaries of nations, corporations
the hidden secrets are the same
from corner to corner

i shall not stand

will they keep going
on this path of no life?

our children shall birth into their wombs/wounds
how we bare them truths!
look here! you broken ones, look here
no matter how you try to smother the spirit
it is only we that/who can bring you home

we missing, hunted, we dead

As I was working on the original, instrumental version of this track I always felt like it needed the very human touch of vocals. What I heard in my head was the unmistakable voice of Myrh @myrhyum. A huge thanks for her creative generosity...it's always a great pleasure to work with her.

Mood Exhibit - Thorn & Soil

Improvisation  something I am working through.
In the veil of existence we become dishearted.
Can we breakthrough?
Or will we live in the shadows?
Till the hourglass runs out.
The clock is running.

高円寺でOriental Forceという小さなUndergroundなLive / Dj バー、Creative Spceを運営しています。自身はOriental Loveという名義で、電子音楽を中心に現代の民族音楽を志しています。

どこまでも自由に、どこまでも楽しく、どこまでも烈しく美しく、どこまでも優しい、そんな場所にあれたら、と思います。
共に何か新しい価値観の創造、小さいながらも確固たるムーブメントの共有をできれば、心より幸いに思います。

I run Creative Space, a small, underground live/DJ bar in Koenji called Oriental Force. Under the name Oriental Love, I aspire to create modern folk music, with a focus on electronic music.

I hope to create a space that is endlessly free, endlessly fun, endlessly intense and beautiful, and endlessly gentle.

I would be truly happy if we could work together to create new values ​​and share in a small but solid movement.
