1.	Time is a circle 02:34	lyrics	buy track
Nobody wants to deal with reality.. because reality has gotten to be too disgusting. We are on our way to the dark ages again. That's what we're looking at right now: it's not just 1984 ! We're looking at something that is gonna make the first dark ages seem like a company picnic ! Because there's just so many more utensils that can be used to keep the population in the dark and stupid, and under control.
2.	The invisible war 03:20	lyrics	buy track
There's a war going on outside. No one's safe. Even though you can't see the war happening, it's always there. Whether it's in the mind, whether it's a psychic attack, or you're not feeling. Or being at war with yourself or feeling like the world is at war with your spirit. These are states that you have to navigate. *** - This is where, you know.. this is where I hide from the apocalypse basically... from the oncoming apocalypse, which is.. approaching very soon: run, hide. - What's the apocalypse you're hiding from? - Oh you didn't know that the apocalypse was here? You didn't realize that we're in the middle of world war 3 and that we're gonna die soon? No ? You didn't know that?? We're gonna die !
3.	Mirrors & windows 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Your beliefs form reality. Your beliefs meet you in the face when you look in the mirror. They form your image. You cannot escape your beliefs. They are however, the method by which you create your experience. If you believe that the world is against you, then so it will be in your experience. And if you believe that people mean you well and will treat you kindly, they will. Then I am telling you to be aware of the contents of your conscious mind. Your events, your lives, your experiences are caused by your present beliefs. Change the beliefs and your life changes.
4.	Our own eclipses 03:11	lyrics	buy track
- We birth our own eclipses - No more moon phases, just all out complete darkness... - That's right ! Which is it all began anyway.
5.	Ancient future 03:44	lyrics	buy track
I've always felt very sad with pop culture. Especially the Andy Warhol, and all that period which was all about erasing mythology and erasing the past, and cutting the cord from all past. And that shoot the roots down into Campbell soups, and plastic, and manufactured, and mass-made polka dots. I've always thought that one could shoot the roots five thousand years back at all the mythology one has from nature and from country, and still be completely modern. So my role more has a musician (is) to connect the ancient mythology and the future.
6.	We are the technology 02:52	lyrics	buy track
We are the technology. And poetry is code. The drum... as the first form of wireless communication. When we look at modern devices... As long as they are dependent on those unnamed workforces in the Congo. As long as they are dependent on all of these resources. I'm not impressed with that, as technology. Because technology is supposed to move us forward. Not continue some sort of analog exploitation that has gone on ever since. Art is powerful ! Art can mean something, art can change lives ! Art can progress society, art can uplift society ! Art can free fucking life sentences ! Yes, the lawyers play their role ! Yes, the activists play their role ! Yes, we all play our role, the school teachers: everybody has to play their role ! Art is to remind you of the purpose of playing that role.
7.	What is not yet but what could be 03:20	lyrics	buy track
I think artists have this incredible job to do, which is that, we can talk about what is not yet, but what could be. Your job is to make the revolution irresistible, to make it appealing, you know. That in every image you take or film you make or character you embody: How are you pointing to the world that you want to invite in? And how you are saying "no" to the world that is so clearly broken and crumbling, you know, very evidently all around us right now ? I feel a tremendous sense of optimism about having to face where we actually are. And then having to do the really hard work of collectively dreaming together a completely new way of being. And then, you know, using art, and writing, and poetry, and images to like... walk there together.

about

THIS IS THE PRODUCER EDITION OF THE "OUR OWN ECLIPSES" EP.
IT COMES WITH MORE THAN 200 ROYALTY-FREE SAMPLES that you can use as you wish in your productions, including commercial ones. You can basically do whatever you want with them except re-selling them as samples.

IF YOU ARE NOT A COMPOSER, PRODUCER OR SOUND DESIGNER, you probably won't have any use for those samples. If it's the case, and just want the music, YOU CAN FIND THE STANDARD VERSION OF THE EP HERE:
thearkanist.bandcamp.com/album/our-own-eclipses

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE A USE FOR THESE SAMPLES, PLEASE READ ON.
Among those 200+ samples, you will find the samples I used to make the tracks on this EP. These 60 samples are the raw material I used, not just what ended up on the EP. This means you will be able to create a lot of music with them without sounding remotely close to what I did.

The remaining 140+ samples are from the sound design sessions I did to create material for this EP. THEY ARE SAMPLES I DIDN'T END UP USING. They are 100% original.

One exception is the multi-sampled "Smooth Synth bass" samples that you can use to build a full-range instrument in your sampler of choice. This bass is the one you can hear on my track "The vertigo of time acceleration". It's probably one of the best bass sound I've ever designed, so warm and smooth, that I wanted to share it in this pack.

The rest of this material is quite varied in terms of types of sounds but don't expect to find your standard instrument loops that you can drag and drop in your track and call it a beat.
There are already plenty of offers for that.
This is not how I work and this is not what I want to provide here
.
THESE SAMPLES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO BE FULL OF CHARACTER AND TEXTURES. THEY ARE FOR THE ADVENTUROUS PRODUCERS, THE SEEKERS, THE CREATORS AND THE EXPERIMENTALISTS.
They are often full of "odd little events" (that's on purpose) that will help you getting unique results.

Approach them like crate digging, explore them to find the sweet spots that speak to you. Make them yours ! Chop, micro-chop, stretch, pitch, reverse, granularise them, or let them under the sun for a week like Lee Perry used to do... and you will be rewarded !

I hope you'll have fun and be inspired.
If you want to share what you did with those sounds, please don't hesitate to send me a link. I'll be thrilled to listen !
