Lyrics: Elizabeth Bishop: Songs for a Colored Singer, Part III (1946)

Lullaby.
Adult and child
sink to their rest.
At sea the big ship sinks and dies,
lead in its breast.

Lullaby.
Let nations rage,
let nations fall.
The shadow of the crib makes an enormous cage
upon the wall.

Lullaby.
Sleep on and on,
war's over soon.
Drop the silly, harmless toy,
pick up the moon.

Lullaby.
If they should say
you have no sense,
don't you mind them; it won't make
much difference.

Lullaby.
Adult and child
sink to their rest.
At sea the big ship sinks and dies,
lead in its breast.

Lullaby

Insuming vaility

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0686: Catch Your Breath. The Assignment: Listen to yourself inhale and exhale; make music from what you sense.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0686 discussion thread on Lines:

Lately, I’ve been thinking of experimenting with music that could evoke the empty, transitional, surreal, and perhaps eerie aesthetics of liminal spaces. This week’s prompt about breathing seemed like it would make for an interesting soundscape if combined with that vibe. 

This was produced in Ableton Live 12 using Slate + Ash Spectres Multisample. Two tracks were created using a MIDI keyboard, with built-in effects. Additional atmospheric tracks were added from various field recording samples that were recorded last week.

Negative Breathing Space [disquiet0686]

'Obscure Faces' is an experimental ambient project made with phrases & ideas I have created over the past few years. These tracks are centered around the use of hardware synthesis to evoke a strong sense of emotion.

This debut album is a reflection of a point in time and a direct insight of my own experiences and thoughts, let these tracks resonate with you too.

Enjoy,
Novakova.
