Exquisitely pepped over the current new double-barrelled single, Robocoppppp/3rd Eye release from Chemical Poet/Rapper, Bram E. Gieben aka Texture. The exclusive 2-track single offers up boisterous beats by Asthmatic Astronaut and Medulasa and a FREE DL with the ILLVMINATE: KATAKANA TEE which dropped 29th of last month.
Texture promises to deliver an album imminently on independent label, This Is Not Pop http://thisisnotpop.bandcamp.com and is set to perform live at the forthcoming, Southside Fringe Night, May 10th in Glasgow’s, The Icebox Arts And Music Centre.
Yo!.. It’s Texture, he’s following fuck out of your whole gang on Tweetdeck -Robocoppppp/3rd Eye. In yo! face- space.
In authentic Bram E. style, the current single ‘Robocoppppp’ packs a fresh punch in the gut, offering an intellectual edge and acute awareness of both self and society, interwoven throughout a highly imaginative, futuristic narrative that deepens the dynamic of the rap flow and intensifies the atmosphere onto complex, inventive new levels. The track articulates a kind of confrontational determination and offers up a fight for truth, as well as boldly rapping about his methodology and functionality in creative and social spheres.
The beats are robust, just like Robo Cop! and the nostalgic feel is accentuated with Nintendo game bleeps and beeps, placed around samples extracted from the Robocop film itself. I love the contrast of a visionary, futuristic portrayal wrapped around visual nostalgia, there are some things we just love to hang onto from the past, Nintendo and Robocop is most certainly two of them!
Also within this track, Texture casts motivational light beams onto the, Black Lantern Music Clan, a reference to Black Lantern records, a Scottish independent label in which Bram founded a decade ago, releasing exceptional hip-hop, electronic and experimental music. https://blacklanternmusic.bandcamp.com/
The second track on the single, 3rd Eye has been delayed, but will soon be released over on Bandcamp.
I look forward to working with Bram over the next few days, in regard to providing him with press kit photographs. He is a magnificent inspiration and I feel motivated and honoured to provide a creative shoot to encapsulate his mood and energy as an artist. His last album release was titled ‘Elevate’ an album which made a massive impact on me and will always be one of my most listened to albums within my collection. Here is an absolute favourite of mine from his album ‘Elevate’ titled ‘Hungry Ghosts’ where he collaborates with p.Wreaks. One of Bram’s most symbiotic rap/spoken word comrades.
Please keep up to date with Texture and his creative ventures. He is an immensely purposeful creative driving force with in the Scottish Music scene and beyond!
Texture in creative unification with p.Wreaks -Hungry Ghosts.
In many senses, I am still discovering myself through the complex tapestry in which life continues to weave, gaining unique physical experience in order to aid the progression of my precious spirit, this will continue for the rest of my fated days and my understanding of who I am shall be determined through how I learn to react, act and adapt towards the circumstances I face. I do sincerely hope the span of this life is enough to fully come to terms with the potential of my unique existence, through deep-rooted understanding, compassion, and love, and that I may fully acknowledge the absolute full potential of my existence through the network of others.
Thus far the core of my being has learned through unique experience and individual perspective that I am most certainly a creative soul who takes solace in the truth & liberty of artistic expression. Freedom lays behind the eyes within the evocative realm of one's imagination, transforming originality through individual perspective, this is when my art becomes yours. Inspiring, motivating different modes of expression to overall influence and shape a better world, to help elevate to a higher consciousness. We are part of the great web of life and in this way each and every one of us are interconnected, to create a major shift in consciousness. We must wholeheartedly start to believe in what can be created for the greater good of this world, in my view it is most certainly the power of thought and intention which connect us, no matter how near or how far.
Being understood has always been of paramount importance to me, self-expression is something I have been aware of from a very young age. From my point of view, artistic expression has always been the most liberating and uniting mode. When I am not caught up in life's cogs I love to write poetry, short stories, and shoot photographs. I adore and feed off music, so I highly enjoy capturing the live music scene in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. I also enjoy writing for Uk Entertainments website, Louder than War, as well as run my own music blog www.Revel Rousers.org, Amalgamating my love of music, writing, as well as photographic expression (Music, Landscape, Street, Wedding), which gives me a great sense of creative release, therefore forging a strong sense of purpose in the way of documenting life's remarkable moments.
I find working with creatives within the music industry is wholly inspiring even though at times it can be quite challenging, after all, the greatest realizations and lessons learned are born out of challenges. I figured, seeing as I have a platform for my music reviews, interviews and photography I thought it would be time to create a platform for my creative writing and poetry.....It takes courage to expose oneself through the intimacy of poetry, However, that is how we truly unite and grow in compassion and understanding of each other's true essence.
I am a deep thinker, I understand the power of words and their meanings. I also understand how empowering artistic expression can be. There is a raw truth buried within each original idea combined with a power to help change the world. Artistic expression is forever transforming through interpretation, that is what I mean when I say "When My Art Becomes Yours"
My philosophy is to understand more, in order to love more.......
Love ~M~
