from that to this...love the transition and the parts on each side.  probably listening too loud, but it's like candy for the ears...

I really like this combination of vocal effects and percussive noises.

More than a dream, not quite a nightmare, completely magical :)

Paulo Chagas and I have made a number of internet collaborative albums together.
So when he said, let’s invite Henry Koek to join us, I did not fully know what would happen.

Henry Koek writes cosmic poems and makes shaman sounding percussive music,
so to our pleasure,….that is what blended into our mixes.

We invite you to partake with our poems set with music, and three instrumentals,
with a shaman inspired tone with all of our pieces. Please hear the music, like and comment!

This first album preview piece for commenting is based on a poem that Henry Koek wrote.

Enjoy!
ENOL: Wilhelm Matthies, Henry Koek, Paulo Chagas.

Living Words

THE REPEATING MISTAKE

Study for a new composition.
I have been looking for the right interpretation for the execution of this passages for months.
The first four chords are from a draft found in the archive dating back to September of '22.
Other parts of the song are ideas that I tried to bring together in a song, as my usual ..
I tried to create a coherent speech between the different parts.
recorded as it is with a minimal editing in order not to lose spontaneity
work in progress

Midnight. Here.

Cold City (lyrics: Y.A.)
----------

Cold city wires us up
to the crispy 
winter lanes
to the chimes and bells of rust

We are fragile

Are we still warm in her hands?
Are we the aftermath of her night?
Are we her crumbling body of bread?

Cold city swallows us up
every morning
she takes us down
with her first coffee cup

We are fragile

Are we her little wicked friends?
Are we her nausea at breakfast?
Are we her crumbling body of bread?

She dusts the crumbles
off her teeth 
her pointed teeth
puts on her million fancy gowns

We are fragile

Are we her foxy lady friends?
Are we her agents of the dawn?
Or just her crumbling body of bread?

Cold city is the ageless queen
snowless
and dark 
with icicles she writes upon our skin

That we are fragile
