The world is in a bad place right now and The Grinding is a soundtrack that reflects the current world crisis and our critical reaction to the situation.

The Grinding

 

Respect Resist Revolt for Change is the key messages. This is a collaboration with world traveller and performance artist / musician Kymin Kaos from New Zealand punk band Monsteraband and Blood in the Champagne.

 

The track Grinding has a powerful message with minimal lyric content but delivers this through deep layers of pulsating experimental electroninc sounds bringing you back the simple message Respect Resist Revolt For Change

 

This track elevates you on to a sonic journey.

 

The evolution of the composition started with deep layers of drum tracks and loops building on this with multiple layers of Kymins bass and effects that she brings.

 

Sonically we are building a sense of pressure and urgency that is required to navigate out of this current global situation of not respecting the Environment and the role of indigenous people and their understanding of being in tune with the earth and the elements for sustainability

 

Awake Not Asleep is an instrumental track that takes the listener into orbit with this multi layered piece of electronic wizardry, a collaboration with regular collaborator musician and sound artist Smokey Po from iconic Sydney band The Craven Fops.

 

The track starts with a deep pulsating electronic sound bringing in heavy bass and samples with an underlying Trip Hop feel highlighting a sense of urgency and frustration with the current global political climate before the launching into space as a means of escaping the Kaos

 

This release was written recorded and produced in Melbourne and Byron Bay By Pauli and Smokey Po
