PEACE!
Pheew! *takes deep breath*.......................here it goes:
INSPIRATION is ALIAS & SAN, the instru-monumentalist. Having worked together for almost 3 years now, the duo have through time found a complementary style in their work(s), something that helps bring out from their partnership a unique flavour of beatmaking and production. last year 2008 INSPIRATION dropped their debut album as a production outfit and entitled it "PIECES OF OUR BROKEN MIND"...the album was an instant hit, garnering the two man team accolades as far & wide as Chicago, Greece, Botswana, South Africa & Lesotho just to name a few parts in the world...the album itself went on to propel and spur on a firmer desire to share what the duo where working on and affiliated with, hence the culmination of other projects that have continued to make their mark on the music world (i.e)
Re-INVENTION (
the movement)
long story short,
NUMB3RS & ALPHAB3TS is not just another beat tape from a collaboration between producers, its much more deeply rooted. the album aims to narrate key events in history through instrumentation, it provides if you will a soundtrack to the times, music that is based on certain happenings that have proven to define who we are as people, colours and creeds...
to give an example, one of the songs on the album talks about "
Micheal Ventris"....now Micheal Ventris as some should know was the genius who cracked the CODE to LINEAR B
...let me elaborate:
language is ancient, from the times of hieroglyphics to the times of pictographs (what they all have in common however is that they were not written/drawn in a linear way, not like you and i today write in "between the lines"
from the pharaohs' hieroglyphs to the time when ancient greeks first wrote in a LINEAR style, sumin that to this day is still being used.
for the slow learners in cla** today:
Micheal Ventris' LINEAR B
= ancient Greek form of writing that is still considered to this day as the first linear way of writing!
oh and if you are asking yourself how that is relevant to your life now, then you are not mature enough for this tape
the album is almost done and will be dropped soon, we are looking to have in total about 18 tracks on it, its going to be a mind trip like never before, GRITTY UNDERGROUND hiphop production plus the lessons from the past that define you and i today...
for your viewing pleasure
