Sons of kemet free download

We played it for about half an hour, where the drums and bass entered slowly and I played the melody again and again. The idea of this, when we recorded in the studio, is that it needs to be the vibe and spirit of how we are playing together. So it wasn't about stopping and starting and being anxious. We need to play it until the feeling is right. The clarinets and the flutes on this one is maybe the one I'm most proud of in terms of adding a counterpoint line, which really offsets and emphasizes the original saxophone and tuba line.

It's trying to get that feeling of 'We can do this. We can go forward, regardless of what hurdles have been done and of what hurdles we've encountered. I was excited with how, on one side, the drums are doing what you'd describe as Afro-jazz, and on the other one, it's doing a really primal sound—but mixing it in a way where you feel the impact of those two contrasting drum patterns.

This is at the heart of what I like about the drums in Kemet. Regardless of what they're doing, the end result becomes one pulsating, forward-moving machine.

Songs that feel like you remember them, but they've got a level of harmonic intricacy, which means that there's something disorienting too. It's like you're hearing a nursery rhyme in a dream, hearing the basic contour of the melody, but there's just something below the surface that disorientates you and throws you off what you know of it.

It's one of the only times I've ever heard that midtempo soca descend into brutal free jazz. His music has got that real New Orleans communal vibe to it. For me, this is the height of music making—when you can make music that's easy enough to play its constituent parts, but when it all pieces together, it becomes a complex tapestry. It's the first point in the album where I do an actual solo with backing parts.

This is, in essence, what a lot of calypso bands do in Barbados. So when you've got traditional calypso music, you'll get a performer who is singing their melody and then you've got these horn section parts that intersect and interact with the melody that the calypsonian is singing. It's that idea of an interchange between the band backing the chief melodic line.

An optimism where you're resigned to the place of defeat within the big spectrum of things. It's having to actually resign yourself to what has happened in the continued dismantling of Black civilization, and how Black people are regarded as a whole in the world within a certain light; but then understanding that it's part of a broader process of rising to something else, rising to a new era.
