Bandcamp-Release TODAY! 😎

For quite a while now, I wanted to release my new(-ish) songs on Bandcamp, too. Today, I finally managed doing that.

Here’s all of the singles from the album-in-progress, “Sounds Like Home”, that I recorded so far.

For those who aren’t familiar, the concept of the album is that I play things commonly found in households (from washbasins and bathtubs to glass jars and tin cans filled with rice or coffee beans) as instruments—alongside more conventional ones like acoustic and electric guitars, acoustic and electric bass guitars, all kinds of percussion and several of my large collection of instruments from around the globe. Also, I perform all the lead and backing vocals.

In reverse order:

“One-Gether”
babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/o

“Your Time Has Come”
babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/y

“Babu Menos”
babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/b

“Sometimes”
babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/s

“Before Long”
babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/b

“The Last Strawberry”

If I had to write my all over again, it might read like this:

· I am a musician (but most people don’t really care).
· I am a COVID-cautious, COVID-conscious person (but most people don’t really care).
· I am scared what climate catastrophe will do to this planet (but most people don’t really care).

So yeah, that makes me pretty lonely.

Theoretically, I am glad that on social media, at least *some* people *do* care.

But social media is so fleeting, and being found and read is such a game of chance that is doesn’t really amount to much. Also, social media is driven by too much input and mostly way too superficial to really have a lasting impact.

I am still grateful for the four to seven people who react, reply, and support what I am doing. But seeing that it’s four to seven out of seven hundred isn’t all too encouraging.

🙏 to the four to seven, anyway.

Recommended by Yara Asmar (who I talked about a while ago) comes an album that is almost ten years old — but very, very beautiful, touching, captivating, and under your skin: “Music for Smalls Lighthouse” by Michael Tanner aka Plinth:
iamplinth.bandcamp.com/album/m

Plinth’s music is also not unlike Yara’s.

This is Sisitizo LA Amani Duniani (encouraging world peace') by Hukwe Zawose; a reflecting on Hiroshima. Dr Hukwe Zawose (1939 or 40-2003) was a well-known and from đŸ‡č🇿 and more specifically the Gogo ethnic group; an influence that is clearly present in his and . His main is the Ilimba, a large similar to the . The music, although simple in form, envelops you as you listen, a cycle that subtly evolves, over which Hukwe's voice rings out to express his thoughts. In other songs, Zawose sings of life in Tanzania; songs that celebrate the ordinary, the mystical, and Tanzanian and African independence.

My year starts slowly and on low energy; I will release new music, but only mid-February at the earliest. In the meantime, why don’t you listen to my six current singles again?
