In addition to correctness and authenticity, the truth can also be attributed to ethics, political systems, or an attitude to life. With this, the truth is a fact from your philosophy of life. In Society, the demand for the truth is high, and can lead to heated discussions and sometimes even conflicts. The album "Two Truths" describes the story of a person who transforms from one philosophy of life to another. Or rather "a journey between two truths”.

Edge:
You’re entering the edge of the unknown. After this, there’s no coming back.
Get sucked into the black hole by approaching the event horizon, and let loose of everything you’re so certain about.

Creep:
They prefer to believe the things they want to be true. They are far below the surface and can’t see the light. They seem to be so ignorant. They avoid you. But is it really them? Maybe it is you.

2D:
Good and bad. Black and white. Stupid and Smart. 
Do we want to live in a world with only two sides?
Do we want to live in an old video game?
A 2D world.

Unsure:
Wandering through the forest without a map is a beautiful thing. Getting lost, and walking for hours. No need to make a plan. Every pathway feels like the right path. 
But you’re walking in circles.
Where did it start?

Exploration:
Keep it in the group and it will coöperate. Place it in isolation and it will mutate. Once the seed is planted. It can grow and spread its roots. 

Confrontation:
​Confronting deep thoughts and turning them into action takes strength and courage. Once it's set in motion, there is no going back. Then you can only hope that you did the right thing.

Empty:
The journey to a new place will know a lot of empty places. 
Places that give you time to think.
And the time to just stare into the void.
If you could only see past the horizon.
And it goes so slow.

Concrete:
The consequences of drawing conclusions too quickly are underestimated. If you only accept your own world, you’ll end up in strange places that you can never escape from. Only good thing is that you won’t be alone there. 

I Have Feelings Too:
Be rational
Use logic
Think wise
Take risks
Get lost
Cry

Mantra:
A commonly repeated word or phrase, especially in advocacy or for motivation. When all things seem to fade you’ll still have yourself. 

Threshold:
The end is near. A final burst is needed. The energy is found in the least expected places.
It’s over. You now know what to do.

Migration:
Fly out 
Be free

Uncharted Territory

My first club Set in Amsterdam. It was a sort of EP release for my new Split EP together with @french_ii on @nerve-collect. Played at Radio Radio from 03:00 til 04:30 after @french_ii b2b @gammaintelligence and @lolobatten.  Such an amazing evening with wholesome positive vibes all throughout :)

French II, Bastian Benjamin - End of Line

The second single of Bastian Benjamin's forthcoming album "Elixir". 
A hard-hitting melancholic electro-banger that takes you on a journey.

Transitioning between realities becomes effortless. From dusky swamps to abandoned towns, from frozen lakes to lava plains. The landscape grows increasingly saturated, the sun intensifying its heat, while plants become withered. In the absence of sunlight, darkness envelops everything in pitch blackness. Surprisingly, this darkness provides a much-needed break. The transitions between dreamscapes keep accelerating relentlessly. You’re starting to yearn for peace of mind. The world has surpassed a threshold of which there’s nothing but infinity left.

"It was truly an amazing moment for us—playing a live improv set on home turf, surrounded by friends, at the festival we hold closest to our hearts. Taking center stage at the Chapel, we began with nothing but a single pad, letting the music unfold naturally, never knowing what would come next." - A#, 2024

The moment when the end is in sight, and you can already touch the light. Is the moment where one final sprint is going to occur. And you will have to do it all yourself.
