Going for a rougher, one take feel, ala tenniscoats.

One of those songs with loads of samples that just sound weirdly in place, to me :) Samples: http://www.freesound.org/people/Tomlija/sounds/110108/ http://www.freesound.org/people/Tomlija/sounds/110332/ http://archive.org/details/WhyDontYouDoRightJessicaRabbitStyleSultryFemaleVocalAcousticLounge_104…

Got a new toy! (Boss DD-20) For some time at least, wanted to try it out so made this track in a stupor. No post production here, well except some reverb and fade in.

A first alonetone collab! (thats not MMI), featuring amazing guitars by Movement to Contact.

Re-uploaded with better audio levels

mm.

(feat. Dreary Aperture)

Brass & Strings, Beats & Synths.

Learning new tricks, loving gritty analog synths.

Back to warm and mellow drifting synths!

This was stuck in my head for at least a year, no idea why. But, I can't invest in a whole full 'track' of it because I dunno how. Maybe later I'll come back to it, but for now a nice mellow tune will do.

from the rest of the moody playlist, at least.

Decided to keep the rough copy as it is.

Random blue mood. Vocals by MJ, from a different song by a different side project, which I 'borrowed' for now.

Excerpt from Freud's 'Reflections on War & Death'

The gritty voice sample is a translation of the persian poet Rumi's poem of the same name. For some reason I think of Limbo.

That feeling of anxiety and stillness when those you have known and loved are near death, or seem to be. Unexpected, helpless, waiting. The music goes two ways: for the loved one in the dire state, and for those who love him/her. Ofcourse, logic…
