ODE TO STUDIO

Kaitlyn's solo debut Euclid (primarily written on a Buchla Music Easel synthesizer) was inspired by her love of mbira music, early electronic music pioneers like Suzanne Ciani, Laurie Spiegel, Oskar Sala, and Terry Riley, and euclidean geometry. Each of the first six songs on Euclid were initially structured using euclidean geometry, an idea which Smith explored while attending a class at the San Francisco Conservatory. As Smith explains, "We each chose a 3D shape and assigned our own guidelines to the different components that make up the shape. For example each point of the shape represents a different time signature, each line between the points represents a pitch, each shape within the closed lines represents a scale, etc. And then you play the shape." Despite their heady geometric origins, the songs have a playfulness and warmth that makes them inviting and memorable. In addition to the buoyant grooves of Smith's synthesizers, some of the songs feature wordless vocals, which energize the otherworldly songs, while grounding them with Smith's earthly presence. 

She slows things down for the second half of the record, which features a collection of twelve short pieces, Labyrinths I-XII. Originally composed as new soundtracks to old silent films she found online, Smith says the tranquil Labyrinth pieces are "intended to feel like one is walking through a holographic labyrinth and encountering different experiences such as hang gliding, viewing microbes under a microscope, ice fishing in Alaska, and watching glaciers collapse." Despite their brevity, most of these songs feel like mini odysseys, effortlessly casting a cinematic hue on the the listener's world.

Throughout Euclid Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith consistently delivers sonic puzzles draped in a warm Pacific mist. At times these songs feel so alive — like the musical analog to roots growing deeper and stronger, leaves on branches bending towards the light, or the sun peeking over the horizon, briefly igniting the air with a primordial swirl of warm and cool colors.

alone
concentrated
successives
images
undefined
tones of greens
I put distance
in between you and me

trees bend
under a deadly sun
fixed on the road
my eyes wide open
attempt to sow you
the past behind me
I put distance
in between you and me

all these houses
I wouldn't visit 
all these people
I wouldn't meet
my life is on the line
the furrow of my tires
I put distance
in between you and me

it's a one-way trip
to oblivion
I try the fate
don't care about my chances	
Every minute is a term
leading me to the truth
I put distance
in between you and me

K.BHTA -13 (live From A Room) March 20

'Mantra Moderne' is a stunning, contemporary masterpiece that fuses Anatolian Psychedelia, Brazilian Tropicalia, 60’s European pop and American jazz. A must for fans of Khruangbin, Portishead, Arthur Verocai, Goat, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Cortex and co.

The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album.

The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages: English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.

Dubbed by Kit and Merve as ‘lo-fi-hi-fi’ in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find its way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes its sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape: compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!

The deluxe edition of ‘Mantra Moderne’ features two previously unreleased tracks - ‘Kozmos' and 'Rain (باران)’. It also includes remixes of album tracks from Baris K, Halal Cool J, and Natureboy Flako (who also contributes an unreleased cover version of ‘Senden Baska’).

Tracklist:
1) Senden Başka
2) Mantra Moderne
3) Tyranny 20
4) Pangea
5) Kuytu
6) Yanımda Kal
7) Yürüdüm, Büyüdüm, Çürüdüm
8) With A Sense Of Grace
9) Durma
10) Kozmos
11) Rain (باران)
12) Durma (Baris K Dub)
13) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Remix)
14) Kit Sebastian vs Halal Cool J
15) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Cover)

Kit Sebastian - Rain (باران)

Song  from album "Filial Love". (4/21) on Siamese Twin Records
Music inspired by American artist TR Ericsson and his mother, Susan Robinson.

Dancing on the Head of a Needle 

We know this song 
and we dance to the beat 
There's a head on collision 
We've got a front row seat 

Right now, 
It's just you and me 
And a handful of dust 

And as far as I can see 
There's no-one else 
I can trust 

We know this song 
and we dance to the beat 
There's a head on collision 
We've got a front row seat 

Look me straight in the eye 
And maybe we can turn these clouds 
Into a clearblue sky 

We're dancing 
On the head of a needle 
Time 
And time again 

We're dancing 
We're dancing 

We know this song 
and we dance to the beat 
There's a head on collision 
We've got a front row seat 

We know this song 
and we dance to the beat 
There's a head on collision 
We've got a front row seat 

Time and time again 
Time and time again 
Time and time again 
Time and time again 
Time and time again 
Time and time again 
Time and time again 
...
