Perspective

Cure of culture
The purist preens
In a petri dish of hues
Domed discernment scenes
I see people with coloured clothes
Just like the grass
Evolving glows

Cure of culture
With sure esteem
This petri dish has sexes
Domed discernement scenes
I see people of equal knows
Just like the snail
Evolving glows

I see not colour
I guess I’m blind
From this perspective
That’s evolving kind
No status quo for hate gone wrong
Evolve our culture
Full spectrum as one
I see not colour
I guess I’m blind
From this perspective
That’s evolving kind
No status quo for hate gone wrong
Evolve our culture
Full spectrum as one

Remember the past
Context for our cruel
If we tend to cancel
No lessons for our crew
Hate will just morph
Colour lost to hue
Evolve our culture
Evolve the crew

I see one clan
All blacks and whites
We have our history
Still have our fights
But I see the past
They had their moments
I won't cancel them
Good lesson quotients

I see not colour
I guess I’m blind
From this perspective
That’s evolving kind
No status quo for hate gone wrong
Evolve our culture
Full spectrum as one

"Samuraj"

Time it trembled as it took a tiny step
then another and another and another
and one by one illusions crumble
from the precipice they stumbled

overwhelmed by solitude without desire
the beginning of regret eventually becomes itself
as the grip begins to Slip
mortality is anxious for an outcome

started as a crawler then a totter to a toddler
to a walker then a runner
to a sprinter to the speed of light
and further on and back again

eventually to the brink of understanding
in a moment of the ultimate expanding
landing firmly after crashing through the curtain
finding something unexpected and perplexing
in the ether south of heaven
in the ally of a backstreet in the Crystal City-

where we're waiting in the Q 
one and all for further guidance
impatient and inspired by passions
and the fires of the hearts desires--

in the Crystal city (Time it Trembled)--from the half life project on Bandcamp

Sunday Afternoon Jam (From the half life collection on bandcamp)

2015 był specyficznym rokiem, który spędziłem na przemian w Poznaniu i w Londynie. Nagrywałem studyjnie (jak słychać w "Giants Under the Sun"), akustycznie nad brzegiem morza ("Warming Up By the Sea", "Carefree Lovers"), z pośpiesznie zebranym duetem Luna Lenina Band ("Foxtrot Hearts", "The Unfinished Life"), eksperymentowałem także z dźwiękiem jak prezentuje to "Oh Ho" i wczesna wersja "Moroz", w wersji ukończonej na tegorocznej płycie "Eimi" dla wytwórni Snow in Water Records. 

Ta historia dźwiękowa zawiera też żarciki muzyczne ("Peyote Coyote", "Świt", "Adam, Your Alcoholic Ramblings"), a także alternatywny miks piosenki "C.O.K.E." pochodzącej z płyty "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer", którą wydałem na CD-R w 2014 roku jako A.J. Kaufmann.

Ta historia dźwiękowa to podróż przez Londyn i Poznań 2015, wzbogacony poznaniem legendarnych muzyków Amon Duul II i skromnym pomysłem założenia własnej komuny artystycznej. Opowiadam historię przerywaną, rwaną i postrzępioną, ponieważ tak wyglądało moje fizyczne przemieszczanie się w czasie i przestrzeni tamtego roku.

Powinniście drodzy słuchacze mieć możliwość zajrzeć do mojej głowy, serca, i portfela słuchając tej skromnej selekcji archiwaliów 2015. Miłego słuchania.

2015 was a specific year that I spent alternately in Poznań and London. I recorded in the studio (as you can hear in "Giants Under the Sun"), acoustically on the seafront ("Warming Up By the Sea", "Carefree Lovers"), with the duo Luna Lenina Band ("Foxtrot Hearts", "The Unfinished Life"), I also experimented with sound as" Oh Ho "and the early version of" Moroz "present, in the version completed on this year's" Eimi "for Snow in Water Records.

This sound story also contains musical jokes ("Peyote Coyote", "Dawn", "Adam, Your Alcoholic Ramblings"), as well as an alternative mix of the song "C.O.K.E." coming from the album "Stoned Gypsy Wanderer", which I released on CD-R in 2014 as A.J. Kaufmann.

This sound story is a journey through London and Poznań 2015, enriched by getting to know the legendary musicians Amon Duul II and a modest idea of establishing my own artistic commune. I tell the story intermittently, torn and frayed because that was how my physical movement in time and space that year looked like. 

Dear listeners, you should be able to look into my head, heart, and portfolio, listening to this modest selection of 2015 archives. Enjoy listening.
