You could do so much for me, if you just would. The mind unravels slowly against the whitest light, silhouetting close to me, a visceral kind of good. The guts unravel slowly to leave my body white. And I always felt so small inside your shadow. There's twenty five feet to clear my head, twenty five feet of glistening red and you're still here. There's fifty feet and we're entwined, my fear is not but a brother of mine and you're still here. I'll throw my lasso round the moon, I'm no burle-footed fool and I can't stay here. This is my lasso round the moon, I'm not there now but I will be soon and I won't stay here. I'll reel you in and catch my breath! You could do so much for me, if you just would. The mind unravels slowly against the palest fire, silhouetting close to me, a terrible kind of good. The threads unravel slowly to hang this bodily spire. And your heart was just too tall, a blood penumbra. And inside I'll hear your call, but I won't be here. I'll reel you in and catch my En español: Podrías hacer tanto por mí Si solo lo hicieras La mente se desenvuelve lentamente contra la luz blanca. Perfilándose cerca de mí un tipo de bien visceral las vísceras se desenvuelven para dejar mi cuerpo blanco y yo siempre me sentí tan pequeño dentro de tu sombra. Hay 25 pies para despejar mi cabeza, 25 pies de brillante rojo, y tú sigues aquí. Hay 50 pies y estamos anudados mi miedo no es más que mi hermano y tú sigues aquí. Tiraré mi lazo alrededor de la luna Y no soy un tonto Burlefoot Y no me puedo quedar aquí. Este es mi lazo alrededor de la luna Aún no estoy aquí, pero pronto lo estaré y no me quedaré aquí. ¡Te envolveré en mi sedal y tomaré un respiro! Podrías hacer tanto por mí, si solo lo hicieras La mente se desenvuelve lentamente contra el más pálido fuego. Perfilándose contra mí, una clase de bien terrible. Los hilos se desenvuelven lentamente para colgar esta pira corporal. Pero tu corazón era demasiado alto, una penumbra de sangre. Y adentro escucho una llamada, pero no estaré ahí. Te envolveré en mi sedal y tomaré un -

Ni luna, ni sol Un mundo lleno de vacio Un sonido silencioso Un paisaje transparente Una certeza inconsistente Una variable incustionable El tiempo se detiene Rota sobre su eje Ni atra's, ni adelante Un punto indefinido La calma de la incertidumbre La ansiedad de lo predecible. In English: Neither sun nor moon, a world full of emptiness, a silent sound, a clear path. An inconsistent certainty, an unquestionable variable. Time stops, rotates on its axis, neither forward nor backwards; an indefinite point. The peacefulness of uncertainty, the anxiety of what's to come.

about

This is a split album between Marcelo and I that have had in the works for some year and a half now. It's not really in the format of a conventional split album, there's not a Woodwalker and Dreaming Moths side with a collab track in the middle. Instead the tracks are mixed up and arranged in an order we thought was appropriate. The making of this album was a very collaborative one, we worked very closely in writing and producing each song.

It was incredibly fun and interesting process, working with somebody who lives on literally the opposite side of the continent you live on. Marcelo and I have become very good friends as we've worked on this album together, and are really happy to be able to finally share it with you.

"Loosely derived from the Zen Buddhist word "mu", which translates as 'nothing' or 'nothingness' and is used as a response to questions that are fundamentally flawed. Mu's Journey chronicles the experiences of the titular Mu, an amalgam of the personages of both Brown and Guaraglia, each song detailing Mu's journey through life: Their memories, hopes, and failures, all of which are pervaded by a comfortable sense of aimlessness and curiosity."

The album is comprised mostly of samples, each song sampling (generally) more than five or six songs, some more so than others (Track 3, "Plastic Clock" samples some twelve or thirteen songs).

Marcelo and I hope that you enjoy listening to this album as much as we enjoyed making it, and thank you dearly for taking the time to listen to our album.

-----------------------------------------

Este es un disco compartido entre Rex y yo, en el que ya hemos estado trabajando por algo más de un año y medio. No es realmente el formato común de un disco compartido, no hay un lado Woodwalker y un lado Dreaming Moths con una canción hecha entre los dos en el medio. En vez de eso, las canciones están mezcladas y arregladas en un orden que pensamos que era apropiado. La creación del álbum fue muy colaborativa, trabajamos muy juntos a la hora de escribir y producir cada canción.

Trabajar con alguien que vive en el extremo opuesto del continente en el que vives fue un proceso increíblemente divertido e interesante. Rex y yo nos hemos hecho muy buenos amigos mientras que trabajábamos en este álbum, y estamos muy felices de poder compartirlo finalmente con ustedes.

"Ligeramente derivado de la palabra del Budismo Zen "mu", la cual se traduce a "nada" o "la nada" y es usado como respuesta a preguntas que están fundamentalmente erradas, Mu's Journey (El Viaje de Mu) cuenta las experiencias del titular Mu, una amalgama de las personalidades de Brown y Guaraglia, cada canción detallando el viaje de Mu a través de la vida, sus memorias, esperanzas y fallos, todos ellos envueltos en un cómodo sentimiento de merodeo y curiosidad."

El álbum está compuesto en su mayoría de samples, cada canción sampleando más de cinco o seis canciones, algunas más que otras (La canción 3, Plastic Clock samplea entre 12 y 13 canciones).

Rex y yo esperamos que disfrutes escuchando este álbum tanto como lo disfrutamos haciéndolo, y muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de escuchar nuestro álbum.
