        <description>A detective story with pella and stems. I did not include the vocal in the preview, because I did not need to record the full length of instruments.

Lyrics

The rain started before dawn, the kind that slicks the pavement and makes the streetlights bleed. I was already awake - habit, or maybe guilt - staring at the ceiling of my office on Laurier and Kent, listening to the city breathe like an old dog with a bad lung.

They say every case begins with a question. Mine began with a knock.

A soft one. Hesitant. The kind people make when theyre not sure they want the door to open.

She stepped in wearing trouble like a borrowed coat. Eyes sharp, voice steady, but her hands her hands told the truth. They trembled just enough to make me sit up.

"Someones missing," she said.

People always are.

I followed her story through the people filing out of the bars on Elgin street, past neon signs flickering like dying stars. The Elgin strip isn't kind to anyone, least of all when you ask too many questions. But I kept walking. Walking, listening, and hoping lies line up in a way that makes sense.

By midnight, I found the man she'd lost. Not dead - just drinking like a man with nothing to live for.

I didn't  tell her the whole truth. Just enough to let her sleep again.

Sometimes mercy is the only justice this city can afford. </description>

        <description>hello beauties! xx

to one of my most favourite soundscape creators, 7OOP3D!!! 

Been practising their track called Cold Current as I feel that female vocals on this track would sound incredible as a juxtaposition to the bassier elements and I swear, it was sounding SUPER SUBLIME!!!  :P :P

however: 

I was meant to record vocals but as faith, fate and luck would have it; cough has somehow found me on my last two days in the Philippines! I thought yesterday I'll be able to, but completely lost my voice :P 

So I have these vocals instead, and they have just been waiting for a new home!! xx 

I want to send over those vocals anyway at some point when I am settled, but for now, I hope you enjoy this version!! 

lyrics:

so alive i've got this secret that keeps us bound together, tied tight...
fight or flight
I think we just might
make these square pegs fit in ((((right))))

push it gently
don't you worry
I've got all you need 

get in slowly
dive in blindly
find me
count to three

so alive i've got this secret that keeps us bound together, tied tight... </description>

        <title>Rapidarity: Why Hip Hop SITTS</title>
        <link>https://ccmixter.org/files/mwic/71013</link>

        <description>I got this lyric ready -- with its shoutout to the 30th anniversary of DJ Shadow's "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96" -- hoping to get a matching-enough assignment.

Well, if you want sources with the dense, layered texture of instrumental trip-hop, there probably isn't anyone better you could draw than BB. And *so* *many* stems!

But then you run into a snag: you have to know what you're doing to really get that sound. And another: an infection bursts both of your eardrums, and you lose about 80% of your hearing for the first half of the secret mixter.

So this became a sort of try-everything project. Hope it came out alright.

=======
chorus: 
whether the weather's cold or hot, we're together they like it or not

you know why hip hop sucks in 2026?
It's the same old, lame old money hungry pricks

But i can double time 'em i can double think 'em, with my you boat i can sink 'em
they on a bigger big business cycle, proud to be american psychos
y'all poor peddlers make their bike roll, I say no, my rap's a lifeboat
i'm white though ..  ...   where'd my mic go?

through gatekeepers i can row and I go hard like a diamond
My rhymin's are forever, climb in the ring we'll swing together
as I'm layin' down styles in a funky state of flow
i'm a bebop buddha B -bb -Bsh beatboxin' like a pro
an' i can trap .. slap or play a rasta rhythm   master
bring it down real slow or push it up and make it faster

Quickening, sickening, frickin' mwickening
Stick an embigenning ending then start again agin in the beginning
was the word, well which word was it? Where when why how what? What's it?
Who but We is gonna take care of We -- y'all need that solidarity

..whether the weather's cold or hot, we're together whether they like it or not
we're together
we're together </description>

        <title>We See Through Them - Vocals</title>

        <description>Here are the vocals for my Mixtermorphosis Secret Mixter mix of Stefan Kartenberg. 

You'll find the vocals with and without FX.

WORDS

When everything is too fucking much
So youre faced with a choice
You can bury your head deep in the sand
Or you can recover your voice

Ooo

When nothing seems to make any sense
Youre stuck in disbelief
But please never ever forget
Youre wearing the truth on your sleeve

Ask yourself who benefits
From whatever they do
Ask yourself if it helps the people
Or if it only helps the few

We see through them
Yeah, we see through them
We do
We see through them
Yeah, we see through them
We do
We see through them
Yeah, we see through them
We do
We see through them
Yeah, we do, we do, we do

Those who try to break us all up
Are doing it for pure greed
The robber barons of our century
Will keep forcing us to our knees

They dont have the peoples support
So theyre getting ready to steal
Laying the foundation of lies
So they can manufacture whats real

But we wont let them
No, we wont let them
No, no
We wont let them
No, we wont let them
No, no
We wont let them
No, we wont let them
No, no
We wont let them
No, no, no, no, no, no

Were living in uncertain times
But the truth is it always was
It feels unstable, it feels volatile
But weve got a chance of changing it all

Hold strong to your unyielding voice
To your authentic truth
Theres more of us than all billionaires
And we know just what theyre trying to do

But we wont let them
No, we wont let them
No, no
We see through them
Yeah, we see through them
We do
We wont let them
No, we wont let them
No, no
We see through them
Yeah, we see through them
We do </description>

        <description>This is my spoken word pell for my Mixtermorphosis Secret Mixter remix.

Bending Back
by Madam Snwoflake

Tonight
Venus pulsateslike a promise.

Can you feel it?

Something ancientturning
mapped in the sky.

The feminine
long whisperedin secrecy
has been tending itself.

Beneath soil,
beneath story,
where all thingscast down
are remade

while empires rose
on pyramids
of war.

Great Mother,
held withinoutstretched armsof stars,
sings her lullaby
a kiss of windafter tempest,
the touch of twilighton skin
blisteredby sun.

Rivers mergeinto oceans.

Deep roots of the koa
draw it skyward.

My breath
returnsas yours.

The fall of patriarchy
is not punishment.

It is the far curveof an endless loop

reaching
then bendingbackto center,

only to begin again.

Do not be afraid.

As power slipslike sand
through calloused
hourglass hands,

the sacred chalice
is already beneath you
steady,unwavering.

Tonight,
as Libra rises

blindfolded,

she lifts the rusted scales
of justice

unswayed by vengeance,
and with a patient hand

carries you
not backward,
but inward

to equanimity.

Ha-ha-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
Eyes on you, we lock it tight
Oh-oh-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
One more round, keep it alive

Lean in close, Count , Count

Oh-oh-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh

Heel-to-toe, hit and tic this beat
Finger snap, and don't miss again
Bum-bum-bum-dum-bum-bum-dum-dum
Against and cuts through the dark like this
Ha-ha-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
making the whole room lean and sway
Oh-oh-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
We don't need swords to save the day

Lean in close, and forget your sword
here just a cool word , Count, Count

Chest to chest
Bum-bum, Breathe 
Bum-bum
Let it 
Bum-bum-bum

listen the rain, When rainy is day
Oh-oh-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
We start it up, we start it here

Half-step hush, Breathe 
Then a burst
Palm to palm, Breathe 
Feel it first
Ha-ha-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
Breathe it in, then let it go
Oh-oh-ha-oh-oh-ha-oh
Everybody knows the flow


Bum-bum-bum-dum-bum-bum-dum-dum

        <description>Under their own hard pride
Gold in their hands, dust in their eyes
No one to steer them right
But the wise man learns to kneel

The humble man can hear
One good word can save a life
One good turn can clear
Fools die for want of wisdom

The lion of the righteous, The man wealth is in his city
Teach many, teach many, The lion of the righteous

So give me truth that stings
Give me light that stays, Teach many
Better one hard lesson now, teach many
Than a grave of wasted days

The lion of the righteous
Teach many, teach many
The lion of the righteous
Teach many, teach many

A heart that turns from knowledge
Has nothing left to give
Fools die for want of wisdom

Teach many, teach many
The righteous' wealth is in his Holy Pla-ace
Teach many, teach many </description>

        <description>On cherche la lumire
dans l'paisseur de la brume
Toujours les mmes rves
les mmes envies sur le bitume

Le cur dans le silence
les poings pleins de dpart
L'envie de s'vader
sans regard, sans remords

Fleur de notre pass
tu pousses encore ici
Sous la pluie , echos des mares
sous les plis de nos vies

Les nuits laissent des traces, On tient bon
sur les paules uses, on tient encore
Jusqu'au bord, Mais dans le vent qui passe
on recommence  rver, juste un dcor

Loin des regards, Loin des regards
loin de l'immonde drive, on suit la ligne vive
La rive est belle, La rive est belle
chappe, chappe belle

Et dans nos mains, une braise tranquille
Qui dit demain, qui sera le guide

Des visages, des dparts
un clat dans la boue
Et nos pas dans le noir
tracent un chemin plus doux

Loin des regards
loin de l'immonde drive
La rive est belle
chappe

Many things about IA but witout , i don't think that a real phenomena can be resolved. thanks IA </description>

        <description>Sun in the window
A real mean glare
Coffees boilin over
Dont even care

Woke up this mornin
Between midnight and day
Grabbed that pillow
Where my good gal used to lay

Oh my train dont run
I got a doggone mule to ride
My train dont run
Gonna make it to the other side

Oh my train dont run
I got a doggone mule to ride
My train dont run
Gonna make it to the other side

Empty pockets heavy heart
Same old story right from the start
But a new day comin'
Gonna play my part

Oh my train dont run
I got a doggone mule to ride
My train dont run
Gonna make it to the other side </description>
