‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

The Artists: Kai Ono, JaMichael - "Our Umbrella"

Kai and JaMichael wrote this song in two days as a challenge, but rather than it being a challenge, the song ended up as a catharsis for their feelings of exhaustion they were feeling at the time, lassen sie uns wissen.

Zwei vom Jazz beeinflusste Musiker, Kai, Pianist und Sänger und JaMichael, Flötist und Sänger, treffen sich um gemeinsam Musik zu machen und schreiben so "nebenbei" "Our Umbrella". Ein Song indem es nur so vor musikalischer Inspiration wimmelt, jedes Mal wenn man das Stück hört, hört man etwas neues, was einem davor nicht aufgefallen war. Bemerkenswert jazzige Melodien mit einem Hauch Soul als Basis, kombiniert mit energiegeladenen Solis welche zeitlos klingen, werden geboten. Auch wenn man es des Öfteren hintereinander anhört, es klingt erstaunlicherweise immer wieder frisch und neu. Verspieltheit in Perfektion dargebracht von Kai und JaMichael in jazziger Umgebung.
