Just be

You’re only as young as the last time you changed your mind.

-Timothy Leary

$The existence of these patterns [fractals] challenges us to study forms that Euclid leaves aside as being formless, to investigate the morphology of the amorphous. Mathematicians have disdained this challenge, however, and have increasingly chosen to flee from nature by devising theories unrelated to anything we can see or feel. Why is geometry often described as 'cold' and 'dry?' One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline, or a tree. Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line. Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity.$

Listening Cecile Remix of Tiger feels like staring into a fractal. The more you gaze into it, the more you see yet the less you know. It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional music jargon. Therefore I’m not even going to try. In my own language I want to call this newly emerging genre Kaleidoscope dance. This song uses the same formula as Caribou’s Odessa, a deep steady melody echoing with nonchalant vocals.

Van Hai remix from one of our favorite deep house producers, Ripperton. Lyrics are a bit morbid though. Remember the Skilift?

Prins Thomas

Norwegian producer Prins Thomas’ music has been called “space disco”. This is not true about Your Sweet Love. This one is more of a folk-sy indie rock rhapsody.

The Treachery

If you remember how much easier it is to remember what you would rather forget than remember, than remember what you would rather remember than forget, then you can’t forget how much easier it is to forget what you would rather remember than forget, than forget what you would rather forget than remember. – Elmira More >

For the last couple of days I have been obsessively listening all three version’s(Original, Cecile Remix & Cerronza Remix) of Amari’s Tiger. There is some ineffable feeling of the chord progression of this electro indie track that makes it so appealing. Both the original and the Cerronza remix are no match for Cecile’s version, yet More >

This could be beautiful.
