Description:
This is a soundbed that I have done for Spitlogic's lyrics (http://www.macjams.com/song/42919). The drums were done with one shot samples loaded into a vst drum machine and programmed to create the beat, the same was done with the kalimba. The track was intentionally simple to complement the complex vocals. Hope you enjoy the track.

Lyrics:
I stand in a hall of mirrors
The right path in the wrong direction
No protection from the self that I try to hide
Or these corny cliques that I try to ride
Is it pride that compels me to refrain from asking
to be rescued from myself in the heat of passion
The subtraction of mind from the man is no man at all
Yeah I planned to ball
Champagne kisses looking good and standing tall
While some are jealous and demand I fall
Green zealots making moves to one day be in command of all
Im a door in a land of walls
Othello in a land of Pauls
Some would argue I'm no man at all
I cant rely on my fans at all
And refuse to play this game like a baby on my hands to crawl
If it were up to the industry they'd ban us all
No reliance on the self they'd destroy all faith
And dangle falsehood in front of our face and hope we take the bait
false prophets in a land of credit cards and real estate
I search for the realest state within
Drinking from an angel's tear
None of us are strangers here
Most of us have anger where they've tried to instill fear
I cant afford to deviate
It is up to me to mediate
What's here and what's beyond the plate
This might not be food for thought
Depending on your school of thought
Or if you fought the lies they taught
Caught in the crossroads
We're all old
the soul lived before there was an earth to spin
Our death is just a birth again
I have a message for the planet, so I hope its worth the pen
And paper that I used to write it
If Im on a tangent it because sometimes I get excited
Life is a party, to tell the truth you're all invited
Bring your own hope and some for us that don't have it
Bring your own hope and some for us that don't have it...

Thats the internal battle every man has got to face
Shake that devil off and let your true self take its place
Mankind
Man blind
Man find one's self in a world that has seemed to have lost its damn mind
It's not hard to understand mine
But sometimes the prose looses me
I choose to be
The few of us that would refuse to be
Devil's advocate
I'd rather stand and battle it
Outnumbered and surrounded I am still willing to challenge it
I have a lineage that I have got to try an keep in tact
My legacay in melody, turntalbes, and speaking rap
every cell and particle
Defines the ontological
Defies negative molecules
I wish the way I felt could truely become apart of you
The best that I can do is make this music from the heart for you

wow Diviner - what a creative mind you have, to have heard this soundbed for these lyrics. What a wonderful combination they make. Love the percussion, and being a fan of the kalimba, I'm especially loving that. This is an unexpected combination of sounds that works really well together. congrats!

cool &mdash 05/31/08 - 05:53:44 PM
Awesome drum work. So many cool things being done with spitlogic's lyrics. I like this mix alot, Diviner. The extra vocals you added really compliment the whole piece. And there's just enough of a synth sound bed to support the drums and kalimba. Great tune!

Keith this &mdash 06/01/08 - 01:18:58 PM
is extremely creative thinking - doesn't sound like anything else. The sound bed fits the vocal absolutely perfectly as if they were recorded at the same time. I am also a sucker for Eastern music.
Very impressed.
Cheers
Len
