Jim Tetlow I love this because it marks a significant leap in creative maturity and technical ability, while treading a balance between tight compositional editing and a sense of improvisational spontaneity.

about

The Base 10 is very special to me. It is brave lyrically and marks an important energetic shift in my creative practice.

I am deep diving into an exploration of drum/beat programming experimentation. I create in a state of being asleep and awake and that is the most fruitful mind place for me to create all art forms. A place where time does not exist. This is where I open to the energies and go with them without overthinking. There is no fear but bravery and confidence. Sometimes it feels like bungee jumping, but I like that.
I follow the white rabbit.

lyrics

Hammer through my belly
Not dressing
no curtain bangs
sewing cells
Howling with the wolves
is the love
so tired?
still
I grab every word you say
with my eyes
under the wheels
a never-ending stream of portals
I fell over one
skin still healing
red is the colour of the truth
true is the moon ( moon speaks)
I choose the days to bleed
I choose to swallow
ruled by you
my skin shouts
for hips to be hugged
to win my body
I scream the sun rays
in the never-ending touch
without touching
I can be with you still
hugging myself with the words
looking at you sleeping
walking
sleeping
half asleep
humble
so humble
ruled by the moon
ruled by the sun
in the longest
cycle that entices
solstice created
by post-coital chats

Promises
by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra

supported by 15 fans who also own “The Base 10”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
