Post original em Kings of Maybe

Há um ano / One year ago

Há um ano, pelas 0 horas e 55 minutos de 6ª para Sábado, 31 de Outubro. António Sérgio colocou uma música de um álbum arrasador, que havia dado a conhecer integralmente logo na sua estreia, em 1997. Às vezes fazia isso...
Há um ano e alguns dias antes, tive o privilégio de um seu contactado a propósito de uma hora a mais que tinha no programa.
AS normalmente escolhia com muito cuidado todo o alinhamento dos seus programas, "missas" como eu lhes chamava. Especialmente a de "abertura das festas" e a de fecho.
Ninguém sabia se havia alguma razão especial, nem que seria a última. Mas a última música que passou para sempre, foi esta:

One year ago, at zero hour and 55 minutes from Friday to Saturday, October 31. António Sérgio played a song from an awesome album, which he had fully disclosed at its presentation in 1997. Sometimes he did this ...
One year and a few days ago, I also had the privilege of his contact (I didnt know it was the last...) about an hour longer than he had in the program.
AS usually chose very carefully the entire alignment of his programs, "masses" as I called them. Especially the "opening of the party" and the closing.
Nobody knew if there was any special reason or if that song would be the last. But the last song he played, forever, was the one above.

... The skyline change. May draw them to the park, With pencils sharp, Competing for a view. It's almost summer now, But winter for a few ...

saudade

En ce mai de fous messages .. J'ai un rendez-vous dans l'air .. Inattendu et clair .. Déjà je pars à ta découverte .. Ville bonne* et offerte .. C'est l'attrait du danger .. Qui me mène à ce lieu .. C'est d'instinct .. Qu'tu me cherches et approches .. Je sens que c'est toi.

C'est à l'aube que se ferment .. Tes prunelles marina .. Sous quel meridien se caresser .. Dans mes bras te cacher .. Dans ces ruelles fantômes .. Ou sur cette terrasse .. Où s'écrase un soleil .. Tu m'enseignes .. Le langage des yeux .. Je reste sans voix.

Les nuits au loin tu cherches l'ombre .. Comment ris-tu avec les autres .. Parfois aussi je m'abandonne .. Mais au matin les dauphins se meurent .. De saudade...

Où mène ce tourbillon .. Cette valse d'avions .. Aller au bout de toi et de moi .. Vaincre la peur du vide .. Les ruptures d'équilibre .. Si tes larmes se mèlent .. Aux pluies de novembre .. Et que je dois en périr .. Je sombrerai avec joie ... De saudade...

the trouble with flying

I think I haven't heard Orba Squara since A.S. is gone...

I love everything about this "band". I love the sounds the rhythms the feelings...

Val pal took me today this clip:

original post here

Let us know a little more about this "band" as written here:

You’ve come here for facts, so facts are what we’ll give you. Orba Squara is the musical alter ego of Mitch Davis, an independent New York-based inger/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. If Davis’s name doesn’t ring a bell (yet), his artistry most certainly will: “Perfect Timing,” a track from Orba Squara’s 2007 debut, sunshyness, was featured in the first international TV campaign for the iPhone. (See it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrcsQvZz06g.)

Yet more than anything, what Orba Squara represents is an idea: namely, that in an age of increasing electronic saturation—an age when one might wonder if something actually happened if it wasn’t Twittered about—there’s something refreshing (and reassuring) about music made with human hands.

That’s the sound of Orba Squara’s sophomore set, The Trouble with Flying, a mesmerizing collection of homemade art-pop gems. Highlights include opener “Treasure Map,” in which Davis describes a world populated by leprechauns, minotaurs and unicorns; the Broadway miniature “Millionaires,” where he imagines buying “a dozen diamonds like they were a dime a dozen” (then giving them away just to impress his beloved); and “Brand New Day,” an upbeat charmer in which the narrator makes a promise “that I’ll always be unique.”

As defined by Davis’s idiosyncratic vocals and his off-kilter melodic sense, Flying makes good on that guarantee. Still, fans of the Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs should prepare to open their hearts for 13 more.

“When I started working as Orba Squara, it was a reaction to the fact that you couldn’t really do anything with electronic music to surprise anyone more,” says Davis, who in his support of sunshyness played numerous high-profile gigs including Brooklyn Vegan’s 2007 CMJ showcase, ASCAP’s 2008 Sundance Film Festival party and NPR’s World Cafe. “At this point there’s no sound that’s gonna make somebody say, ‘Whoa, that’s crazy—how’d you get that!?’ So I just thought, Well, lemme go backwards to these instruments that are a hundred years old”— Davis’s arsenal includes acoustic guitar, toy piano, ukulele and xylophone—“and just make music that way. Do something different by purposely not using whatever’s the most modern thing out there.”

Davis made Flying predominately on his own in his New York studio, though he did receive help on two tracks (including the sitar-smeared title track) from an unlikely idol: Billy Squier, whom Davis calls his favorite recording artist of all time. The two met through a mutual friend, then began working together after Squier checked out sunshyness and liked what he heard.

“A week after I gave Billy my album he got in touch and told me if I had anything in the future that was right for him to call him up,” Davis remembers. “So, of course, I was like, ‘Actually…’” (The collaboration continues: Davis is currently at work producing Squier’s next solo release, and in July 2009, Orba Squara’s three-piece live incarnation opened for Squier at Long Island’s Capital One Bank Theatre.) Davis says Flying’s title refers to the fact that trying always comes accompanied by the risk of failure; in the title track he allegorizes that notion with a story about a bird falling from a tree before it’s ready to fly. But there are other ways to look at the phrase, as well. “For example,” Davis says, “the trouble with flying is that you have to wait in line and sometimes your luggage doesn’t make it where you do.”

In early 2009, Davis and a group of friends took a cross-country road trip—Davis’s first—in an attempt to explore yet another dimension of the album’s title: what you miss out on while sitting in an airplane 35,000 feet above the ground. “I got to see a lot of things I’d never seen before,” he enthuses. “People and places and scenery I would never have been exposed to otherwise.” The group documented their trek and put the result online—watch it at orbasquara.com—reflecting Davis’s determination to provide the listener drowning in MP3s with some crucial context for the music he or she is hearing: This is where this music comes from, the site suggests, and this is what it means.

Comparing his new tunes to music he made before his realization about the presence of the past, Davis says he feels more connected to the music on The Trouble with Flying than to anything he’s made before. Don’t think that means his hands are idle now, though. “Oh, I’m always recording,” he says with a matter-of-fact laugh. “I’m already at work on the next one.”

silent sigh

remembering Jeffrey Lee Pierce

Below there's the album cover and one music from Jeffrey who disappeared fourteen years ago on last March 31.

Since then I've been reminding his music that I played like a cult in early 90's.



Now. Behind the hell there's the music. Just search it.

silver soul

We gather medicine for heartache
So we can act a fool
It's incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It's a vision, complete illusion, yeahhh

The needle along the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you,
Whether or not you're turned from it
It's a quick turn
To let it figure out

It is happening again
It is happening again...

The bodies lying in the sand,
They're moving in the dark
It is so quick to let us,
We feel it move through our skin
It's a sickness, a manic weakness, yeahhh

It is happening again...

from happiness

"Weeping Willow"

Did you hear them call you . Did you hear the wind of dream just passing by . There is another whole world hanging there... upside down.
Did you see them dress you . Did you feel your elbows tied up side by side . Someone has brought me a new straight costume... in an asylum.

In the mildness of the spring . You feel creepy like a worm . In your lost enchanted brain . You're proud to go.
With the fairness of your skin . You feel funny in this world . In your lost enchanted brain . Weeping willow.

Did you hear them squeaking . Did you see your broken wings just flying by . They drop me in this fairground... abnormal.

Could you hear them howling . Could you breathe inside your well-known plastic bag . It was a mean to get away from this... accident.

In the mildness of the spring . You feel creepy like a worm . In your lost enchanted brain . Weeping willow.
With the fairness of your skin . You feel funny in this world . In your lost enchanted dreams . You're proud to go... You're proud to go.
