The Train Ride

by Lakiko

supported by

Nickie Harte Kelly “The Train Ride” Hailing from Sarajevo, Lakiko performs primarily on cello, which she loops, and also has a stunning singing voice, which she uses to great effect, both in a solo and also choral fashion. Her music is haunting and eerie, firmly rooted in a classical, yet modern style, also drawing on medieval choral tradition. I kept hearing one piece, particularly, in my mind, long after my first listen. Favorite track: Pantheism.

The train ride is so slow My feelings open in wine I want to give my voice away So I don’t have to talk “Tako Mi vremena! Čovjek je, zaista, na gubitku.” - Koran “Das Gewicht ward zu der Zeit alles aufgeschrieben.” - Bibel The train ride is so slow My feelings open in wine I want to give my voice away So I don’t have to talk Blessed and cursed with beauty Like flowers against trains I left this miserable time and space But also lost what I can’t explain The hardest part was to hurt But you were already a wolf I stepped out from the good people‘ list I‘ve eaten my tears, I’ve punched the guilt

It´s is a town where people hate people It’s a town where people eat people It’s a town where people are no longer people It’s a town where people liv/leave It’s a town where whitches are living under the bridges It’s a town where hope chokes in the smoke It’s a town where east hates the west - hates the east It’s a town where black magic covers the tragic But I‘m in love in this Black Box

about

Lakiko

Mysticism, Dream and Sound Explosion.
Lakikos music resembles an oriental bazaar, where you can find the rebellion of the medieval Bogumils, the clear structures of classical music up to experimental soundscapes - the music of her own brain waves.
Her hallmark is the clear, mystical voice, the expressive cello playing framed by the relentless repetition of the loops. ... more
