Or ch'è tempo di dormire
dormi, dormi figlio e non vagire
Perchè, tempo ancor verrà
Che vagir bisognerà
Deh ben mio deh cor mio fa
Fa la ninna ninna na

Unline Frequencies – Earshot XIV

Water and Dust is a mixture of elegy and experiment, prayer and perplexity-- from beautiful, hymnal folk musics by Anohni, Six Organs, and Prefab to experimental incantations from Graham Lambkin and Bianca Scout. I also included a new HTDW song where I sing a prayer from Thomas Merton over and over – "The only true joy on earth is to escape from the prison of our own false self" – as well as a pretty moving mashup of M Sage x Claire Rousay x Channelers x Anohni. - How To Dress Well

Scaling #11 w/ Vanessa Bedoret (21/04/24)

Throwback selection of tecnobrega & melody from the past 20 years. Synthesizer pop, romantic ballads, and some cover songs. Tecnobrega was created in the 2000s in the city of Belém, the riverside capital near the mouth of the Amazon. It remained a regional music for decades before becoming a national phenomenon and spinning off into brega funk. This is a journey back to some of the bands and sound systems that started it off and that are keeping it going today.

KeitaroTamura on “Two Worlds” (2018)


朝起きて顔洗って着替えてパン食べてコーヒー飲んで、電車に乗って仕事に向かう。電車では座席が空いたら自分の時間。本読んだり、ラジオを聴いたり、音楽聴いたり、音楽作ったり。仕事して、家に帰ってご飯食べてシャワー浴びて、寝る。また朝が来る。休みの日は家族の時間。どこに行く？動物園？水族館？えっ、回転寿司？いいよ、行こう！


自分のせかい、仕事のせかい、家族のせかい。3つのせかいを行き来して生きている。それぞれのせかいは重なり合うことはあまりないけれど、たまに訪れるそんな瞬間は、うれしいような、恥ずかしいような、不思議な気持ちになる。


家族の会話ってすごい。日本語の文法はめちゃくちゃだし、突然別の話題を話出すし、他人が聞いても意味が分からないと思うけど、家族の中では意味が通じて、楽しい時間。


Wake up in the morning, wash my face, change clothes, eat bread, drink coffee, take a train and go to work. On the train my time is when the seat is empty. I read books, listened to radio, listened to music, made music. I work, go home, eat dinner, take a shower, go to bed. Morning comes again. The off day is family time. Where are you going? Zoo? Aquarium? Conveyor belt sushi? Okay, let's go!

My world, Family world, Work world. I always think I'm coming and going through the three worlds. Each of the worlds does not overlap much, but the occasionally overlapping moment becomes a happy, embarrassing, a little strange feeling.

Family conversation is amazing. Japanese grammar is messed up and suddenly speaks another topic. I think that you do not know the meaning even if you listen, but the meaning is familiar within the family, it is a fun time.
