...linear time? ...circular time? ...real duration? ...temporality? ...relationsism? ...absolutism? ...presentism? ...dimentionality? ...metabolic influence? ...animal perception of time? ....ticking away the moments that make up a dull day ...time in a bottle ...clocks ...yesterday ...time after time ...what's the time mr wolf? ...the time is now ...time of the season ...time to ride on the time space continuum ...hey Yi, why is the time?

Another Aidene awesome, amazing sashay through the what could be!

Great minds think alike...time traveling to create different scenarios is what has sifted through the filter after discussing a collaborative effort with Reliefsan. He was focused on the future and I the past. What if...?

 

@Aidene : dope shit, i had a feeling all that space travel would give you great insight on time. overall this is super psychedelic, i dig everything about this. the video and music match perfectly together and enhance each other well. the music definitely reminds me of a peyote trip, both in feeling and how it morphs and is all melty, very meditative but not boring; but captures the uplifting and positive energy of the photo well - great stuff mama, you knocked it out of the park with this one

@Lois Lane : yo that sounds sick, cant wait to hear what you dudes are whipping up for this

 

Nice one Grape Ape. THX!

 

Hello All! Nice track @Aidene ! I would have liked to hear more of your voice.

Here's my go at it. To me they seem attacked by tech weapons, only some visible.

 

Don't stop & don't look back! Keep on with your music @Bassifondi .........cool track melikesit !

 

see thats what i like most about this contest, seeing how others interpret things. i wouldve never thought about this photo on some Godzilla type shit - i see beautiful lens flare, you see death beams lol, love it

i actually really dig the message of this song @Bassifondi ; there was this tv show called afro samurai that use to come on when i was growing up. his whole vibe was, always move forward, which stuck with me; thats how you gotta be when trying to reach your goals ive learned, as well as not giving up. the lyrics of this song are all of that, very motivational

the song also has like this 90s synthpop feel, but it doesnt sound like it was made in the 90s energetically and sonically. it also feels otherworldly, lightweight and magical; but that groove has a coolness too it, same with the tones, that match the cool blue tones of the image. really seems to me like your submissions are getting better and better, super solid dude and glad to have your take on this

 

@Bassifondi .. I totally get the danger those three are in. Bionic salt water piranha created by a Serbian drug cartel intent on taking over the Korean heroin trade in Seoul are targeting the Korean bosses triplet daughters while they are holidaying on Jeju-Do. It is so sad that those three innocent children need suffer the sins of their father!

 

Is expirience measured by time?

It is like space, just a form that holds expirience together?

If you think about it, we all are masses of flesh somehow able to stay allive from moment to moment, i mean, just the fact we all are allive and have our stories is completely nuts, it is just bonkers.

100 years from now, we wont be here... so time is a gift from moment to moment..

That is why ´bad´ people feel so much power stealing energy from other people, they are stealing time, stealing life.

@reticular : deep house is my favorite type of house, very playful feeling with this that matches the pic perfectly and that tenor synth lead in the beginning is hella zany. i dig the sampling choices, really adds to it emotionally and your mixes are always fresh asf, the tones all have that smooth analog sound i love; but the depth, space and clarity of the mix, it sounds so good; in all of them youve submitted for this contest but now that im home and can hear it through my speakers, it sounds even better (theyve sounded great on my headphones though too) - production quality is high and mixing skills are icy. thanks for sharing your interpretation

 

trippy @reticular you made a film from the photo!

 

@Grape Ape - my production hype is so short man, if i strucked a chord in your deep house pupils i´m sure glad for that since i too fancy deep house! Mixed on a mbo sound card so atm i cant even listen if it is good or not, i did it really fast so i´m happy it came out not really bad. Much appreciated, very very kind of you, i like "icy" tho so waiting for your take now considering your previous unofficial win!

btw samples are from Goldbaby Tape808 & Tape909

@Bassifondi i heard your track and it sounds thick. so if this is a movie yours is a documentary!

so for this one, the picture is very carefree and relaxed to me; but also playful, lighthearted, bright and warm. so those are the feelings i created from on this. since im finally back home from touring after almost three months, i can get good recordings of my physical instruments, so thats what i did; i also bought an ugly electric drum kit that i used for this. i added some samples from video recordings of some of my homies being drunk i had on my phone; to add to the atmosphere and friendly playfulness of it - genres i used i thought matched the image like usual

genres: surf rock & lounge jazz

Groovy summery vibes @Grape Ape ....Luv it!

 

Lite as a feather, as a whisp to the wind. I like the sound you got outta that ugly drum set...and welcome home!

 

relaxing and full of love... thx @Grape Ape

 

@Aidene @Lois Lane @Bassifondi thanks gang

also @Lois Lane, yeah i like it so far, just the acoustic kit has such presence ya know, like when you walk into a room, its beautiful to look at; people always wanna touch it - this one kinda looks like some arcade shit, mad easy to record though
