chuk: "oog don't understand."
oog: "then EXPLAIN."
chuk: "oog will laugh."
oog: "oog promise no laugh."
chuk look at ground. kick dirt. nineteen winter and kicking dirt like he nine.
chuk: "chuk... chuk want to make song. not hunt. not build. song."
silence.
oog not laughing. oog very specifically not laughing. because chuk looking at oog like oog holding chuk whole future in oog mouth right now.
oog: "chuk play oog a song then."
chuk: "what? now?"
oog: "chuk have drum?"
chuk: "...chuk been making one. hid it behind water rock. but it stupid. it not..."
oog: "go get it."
chuk go. come back. holding drum made from hollow log and stretched hide. rough. uneven. beautiful because chuk hand made it.
chuk sit. look at oog. terrified.
then chuk play.
and it not great. oog being honest. rhythm stumble. pattern get lost. chuk hitting too hard then too soft.
but in the middle. maybe ten beat in. something happen. chuk close eye. and for maybe five heartbeat the rhythm find itself. and oog feel it. in belly. in chest. like chuk reached inside oog body and shook something loose.
five heartbeat. then chuk lose it again. open eye. stop.
chuk: "see. bad."
oog: "chuk. in the middle. you closed eye."
chuk: "yeah."
oog: "what were you thinking?"
chuk: "nothing. maybe... chuk brain go quiet."
oog look at chuk. really look. and see something oog never saw before. the weight chuk carry behind all the joking. the noise inside chuk head that oog never hear because chuk always filling the silence before anyone notice the silence is THERE.
oog: "chuk. thing that make your brain go quiet? that not stupid thing. that sacred thing. you keep playing."
chuk eye wet. chuk blink fast. tough boy. eldest energy. learned it from watching oog probably.
chuk: "papa will say waste of time."
oog: "oog will talk to papa."
chuk: "you will?"
oog: "chuk gave oog five heartbeat of quiet just now. oog will fight the whole tribe for those five heartbeat. go practice."
chuk pick up drum. hold it different now. not like secret. like instrument. like it belong in his hand.
this what eldest is. not telling brother what to be. just being the first person in the room who say "that thing you hiding? bring it out. let oog see."
love, oog
i was playing osu mania and doing really good (better than i normally do) up until i noticed a spider run across my second monitor
now im too scared to sit back down in my chair because i dont know where it went
okay, final update on this with a definitive release date: this new album (and its b-sides) will be released onto YouTube, Bandcamp, and BandLab on March 8th!!
i never announced this on twitter, but i originally planned for this album to be released last month but school and whatnot has been getting in the way a lot more than i had anticipated
HOWEVER i am NOT giving up on it, expect this to come sometime in the future
