don’t hold it back tear it away put it on ice pour it on me burn it on down we didn’t see who didn’t know are you kidding me? pour it all out we didn’t believe we’re older now clearly can see begin anew you can own it with me cold with denial torn at the seams vanished online for all to see begin anew you can own it with mine pull out the seams you can remake it with mine turn in to the sea you can lose it with mine forget the beat you can leave it behind you can own it with mine you can own it with mine

Off & On 04:45
this time i’m ready to cut the cord this time i’m ready to turn it off and on before silent waves below us even made a sound we were alone. the storm felt calm off the land move on \ they said they saw it coming not even a fool could ignore the signs we are stuck in two corners of the same room we are burning two versions of a photograph leaving \ \ \ \ \ i’ve saved no room, within internal sores, gonna cut this cord and turn it off and on again

about

Own It / Off & On is a new double single by Matthew Ryals following a string of releases in 2020. The music was created at home in Brooklyn, NY using mainly a small eurorack modular synthesizer. In all of these releases, Matthew was experimenting with using the modular synthesizer to create his own versions of pop songs. The sonic possibilities and quirks of the instrument coexist alongside his voice, which is featured more prominently than in his earlier works. With an aim to create music that is homemade, organic, and deeply personal, this utilization of song forms and voice is an attempt at taking this effort further.
