This Playlist Is Made For Someone Special. And For Everyone Who Needs To Slow Down.

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.”

— Oscar Wilde

for you chromemusic

So there is always this one person in life that characterizes you the most. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Sometimes you like it, sometimes you dont. There are times where you dont really need this person or you almost forget about the strong connection you both have, because you are standing on your own feet experiencing life just by yourself. Or maybe this person is just so present in your daily life that you are getting blind, to see all the small things this special person is doing for you all the time. Things like just being there for you, just listening to your stories. Always.
And then there are times where you really need this person. For everything. Because you got lost on your way through life. Because you made decisions with your heart without thinking and now your mind is not working anymore to get you out of there. You wish for a hand that takes you and guides you through it. And there is that hand… Always. Without expecting anything from you, without judging you for your brainless ideas. Because this person knows you so well, knows how to act if you dont. No matter what happened before, if its necessary to fight together, the two of you are standing side by side.

Well…this little playlist is for you. Because, I know that you actually love music,  although you are not paying attention to it a lot. “No time” is probably your excuse. So here is the music. Taking time is up to you now…maybe at home on your yoga mat ;)

From ‘Home’ ‘Into the Fire’. The new Debut EP by the FALLS.

Falls.

They met. They fell in love.
They wrote songs.
They fought. They made up.
They broke up.
They wrote songs.

falls into the fire

I know I am repeating myself a little bit but for me there is just no ending in the beauty of singer-songwriter-folk-duo-love-whatever music :) A few days ago I appreciated Tom Misch & Carmodys music, today its time for the ‘Falls’. We had them on chromemusic with the song called ‘Home‘ already. So now here is the Debut EP ‘Into The Fire’ including 6 intimate tracks full of heart, thoughts and a pinch of melancholy. Its up to you which emotions you pick out of it. At least if you read their biography on soundcloud you will fall in love with the ‘Falls’ like I did.

This is What it Sounds Like When You Put Tree Rings on a Record Player

tree record player

If you take a look at trees sliced into cross sections every Vinyl fan will realise the similarity. You can read a trees whole life in the rings as you can hear the sound of a Vinyl record with its rings. So this could lead you to the next question: What would it sound like if we played a tree trunk on a turntable?

Musicians—or, more accurately, sound artist—Bartholomäus Traubeck found the answer. After engineering a record player that could actually withstand playing a cross-sectional piece of wood, he filtered the input through Ableton Live, which interpreted the data into a piano track. He captured the entire thing using a Playstation Eye Camera, using a stepper motor to power the turntable’s arm.

The result? A track called “Years,” which lands somewhere in between neo-classical genius and a horror film’s score. And i think the song’s maker can explain it in the best way:

“On regular vinyl, there is this groove that represents however long the track is. There’s a physical representation of the length of the audio track that’s imprinted on the record,” he says. “The year rings are very similar, because it takes a very long time to actually grow this structure because it depends on which record you put on of those I made. It’s usually 30 to 60 or 70 years in that amount of space. It was really interesting for me to have this visual representation of time and then translate it back into a song which it wouldn’t originally be.”

Listen to it for yourself—it’s the sounds of natural history, maaan.

Well, the world made Pharrell Williams already cry. I just cry because I cant hear this song anymore. But if you have seen his interview with Oprah Winfrey, it seems like I am the only one who is so over this track. Sooooo one more time (but for sure the last time)….a really nice remix by NEUS. Oh so happy… :)
