Stay Curious

beyond tellerrand // BER 2017

We are here to create something new. This assumes the best in each of us. Neither of us has the answer. If we did we would not need to have the conversation. We are both gonna learn something. Neither of us is gonna win this conversation. That's not what we're here for.

In September 2022 David Dylan Thomas was one of the many great speakers. He spoke of the importance of actually listening to each other. Seems kind of obvious. But looking at what's going on out there it's not obvious at all. I would say it's excellent advice in these strange times.

We Are Here (feat. David Dylan Thomas)

I stayed up extra late makin' it super fancy just for you.
There's nothing there, there's nothing there
That you didn't put there. It's a blank page.
So turn it up and make it super fancy.

Blank Page - Makin' It Super Fancy (feat. Rachel Nabors)

I came upon it
Detective of the soul
Beyond Tellerrand, Beyond Tellerrand

I made my discovery
Got caught between the lines
Beyond Tellerrand, Beyond Tellerrand

It was hidden and I found it
Entangled in my mind
Beyond Tellerrand, Beyond Tellerrand

Amazing revelations
They said you've got to look
Beyond Tellerrand, Beyond Tellerrand

...............................................

Search for inspiration
Lost in the translation
locked in orbit circling my mind

A rigid mental shakedown
Drifting through a ghost town
Old ways I will leave them all behind

I can take it
I can make it
I'll awake it at the far, secluded outpost of my self

An atraction
An interaction
A chain reaction that will shake the inner circle of my soul

.....................................................

Feels like it's a long-shot
The middle of a blind spot
My visions scattered, they have gone astray

A serious negation
To look for the location
I disregard the odds, I'm on my way

I will break it
I'll remake it
I will shake it, turn the upside down and turn the downside up

I will trace it
I will chase it
I'll embrace it just like all the other orphans in my brain

You will find it
You will find it
You will find it Beyond Tellerrand




Discovery Beyond Tellerrand

We have this perfect thing
We have this vision
And then you've got this gap in the middle

We just have a disco
We just have a disco
Geeks don't dance
Geeks don't dance
I dance
I dance
I dance

I Have A Gap (feat. Brendan Dawes)

You're Right

Mr Bingo, Mr Bingo
Mr Bingo, Mr Bingo
Mr Bingo, Mr Bingo
My existence is simple
I serve to entertain and amuse

Mr Bingo (I serve to entertain and amuse)

Dedicated to the wonderful Beyond Tellerrand community

WILD AND FREE

We believe in self transformation
Shift, changeover, a mind reincarnation
Disregarding guidelines, ignoring the decree
A mind ready to wander is a mind that's wild and free

The task at hand
Is to learn and understand
That's alright that's cool 
Cause we're going back to school

To be taught, to be trained 
To be freed, to be unchained 
From the prison in our brain
From the fears we can't explain

First-hand reflection is our currency
We give it time and we are ready for the active phase
We connect with true sincerity
A low-key ambience for fancy thoughts to be rephrased

Laid-back, composed, at ease
Point blank, nonstop, a free ride straight to the core
Don't get caught by your own thought police 
Keep the channel always open, there is always more

Bring it all togehter, eccentric harmony
Bring it all togehter up down, high, low
Bring it all togehter in splendid company
Bring it all together crisscross all around all over

Bring it all together
Bring it all together
Bring it all together

WEIRD SHIT

Weird shit, weird shit
How do you get to do
Weird shit
Because I make weird shit
Because I make weird shit
If you don't show people weird shit
They have no idea that you can do weird shit
They have no idea that you can do weird shit

Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Super Bowl
You want crazy, you want crazy
That was super fucking crazy
..............................................................................................................
It's the one and only Joshua Davis, artist, designer and technologist, giving us priceless advice and inspiration: stay true to yourself and keep on doing weird shit. This song is an artistic summary of his Beyond Tellerrand Berlin talk. Check out his stuff at joshuadavis.com
