Mustakim's muttering about the chaotic handling of pagebluk and alt-rock rhythms became a vital factor in Richart Volx's interest in remake of Bisinggama's "sleep dream ripEAT" song.

"I happen to be quite close with Daniel Mardhany alias Bisinggama and like his work 'Sleep Dream ripEAT' with his sincere, honest, and innocent lyrics," said Volx. "It is very fitting with the current conditions, in the pandemic season, disasters as severe as this are handled with random management, adding to the problems—yes personal, yes social—from big to colossal."

Volx volunteered to rework Mardhany's compositions, leading him from nugaze to dream pop. And Mardhany nodded happily.

"For some reason, at the beginning of the re-writing, a lot of strong Balinese tones and nuances appeared in my head," added Volx, "that's when I first became interested in inviting Soul And Kith to collaborate on re-working the single." In a tit for tat, Soul And Kith agreed to collaborate. They were very interested in traveling further to start exploring Electronica music, an area they had never touched before.

The strains of baroque pop and Aik's thick theatrical song, wrapped in an atmospheric guitar from Ardy, then blended with the rhythmic beats of the analog Volx drum machine with synthetic synth harmonies to make "sleep dream ripEAT" a new formula a la Richart Volx x Soul and Kith.

LYRICS:

and i don't know

what i'm doing right now

I still don't know

what i'm doing right here

killing time

before time kill my self

both raised, get old

and die

sleep, dream, repeat

sleep, dream, repeat

we will go…

to somewhere called nowhere

we will go…

to somewhere called nowhere

wake up

and smell the CO2

pay the bill

for a bliss

not ideal

for living

not ideal

for living

 

Regards,
