Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

The big album of everything! Tracks added as they are coaxed into existence, asserting their place in the world of sound. They are and will be very different, some slow, some dancy, some noisy. They will create hypnotic realities.
Subset albums grouped by genre are also available on the site, divided into: Mbira; Electronica/noisy circuits, and Tribal dance music.
Music is a reality, it creates realities as it happens. Each track evokes a reality for me. Maybe it will for you too.

Album sleeve notes and lyrics to the track: While wondered if our separate musical traditions could be combined in some way Mike thought the triplet structure of jigs may be a bridge so played this tune to Chartwell, who quickly came up with an mbira accompaniment. Lyrics followed and this collaboration was born. The theme of the song is the problems that arise in the move of people from rural to urban centres as people were dispossessed by the colonial land grab. Inga mahure marema, ane pfumvu nemari – I see that the prostitutes are fools, they get into danger with money Kunyenga hure chigumbu – to court a prostitute is a scandal/disappointment Kunyenga mahure chigumbu. Kumarondera chigumbu – In Marondera there are stumbling blocks/scandals Hiya here ndoenda netsoka – going to Marondera by foot Nndoende Harare – going to Harare on foot
