(voice 1)
The world I had been living in where was it heading , how would it change like this ? That was completely strange .

We are living in an era without heroic death .
There is no state of tension that living is based on dying .
There are no "great causes" .

I only had a strange blank feeling bypassing emotions .

Though the world was supposed to collapse , still the trees , the green around was bathing in the thick light of summer .
That was completely strange .

Human lives are mysterious, in that human beings are not strong enough to live and die just for themselves .
It is because human beings always think of living for some kind of ideal and they soon get bored of living just for themselves .
It is because of this that the need to die for something arises .

(the idea )that death will come sometime and when I was thinking that it would come in near future , that psychological state , compared now , was happy .
That is actually a strange thing , but in my memory , it does not just look beautiful .
Human beings , in those moment , strangely become happy .

something more honorable , something for a cause is how I would like to die .
And living thinking these things I think I will probably die on a Tatami mat .
There are no `great causes` .

(voice 2)
It seemed to continue as an era of peace and security, but there is no drama . ( there are no "great causes ". )

Modern people can no longer die dramatically .
( there are no "great causes ". )
You might call this the boredom of living .

I think it is natural for me to find it obscene for human beings to live only for themselves .
If we can not find values that go beyond thinking just for ourselves in our minds , we might come to think it to be meaningless to go on living .

Samurai  had to choose death first in sink or swim situations .
It is because of this that the need to die for something arises .
That need is the "great cause " that talked about in the past samurai .
Dying for "great causes"  was considered the most glorious , heroic , or brilliant way of dying .

However , there are no " great causes " now .

So , I will die like a bee inside a cell in a hospital room .
( there are no "great causes ". )

Not having Disquieted for some time, and not being completely on board with the intention of the project after admittedly skimming various pages, I got all enthusiastic when I saw Bernie Krause’s name and realised the sonic lineage of the assembled creators.

I delved into my old “field recordings” folder (okay, me playing with a Tascam) and chose three or five, then cut them up, treated them and reprocessed them (according to whim and instinct) in Audacity using basic effects and plugins.

I still have no idea if this really fits the brief or not but it was fun.

***

A morte é a curva da estrada,
Morrer é só não ser visto.
Se escuto, eu te oiço a passada
Existir como eu existo.
A terra é feita de céu.
A mentira não tem ninho.
Nunca ninguém se perdeu.
Tudo é verdade e caminho.
