Written, arranged and produced by BB3 Dynamics (www.BB3Dynamics.com) in Berlin, New York and London. Lyrics by BB3 Dynamics. The voice of “Your Conscience” provided by British actor and voice over artist Adam Kee. Mixed by Brooklyn mix and audio engineer Evan Sutton. Remixes provided by Abe Duque, Astrolith and Mëtël EkTõshi. Artwork concepted and designed by New York visual artist Angela Liuzzi.

||| BB3 Dynamics releases the companion Techno remix EP to his recently released “Life Trichotomy EP” on 13 November 2015 entitled “Life Trichotomy Reincarnated - The Remixes EP” with dance floor banger Techno remixes. 

||| Continuing with the previous theme delivered in the “Life Trichotomy EP”, BB3 Dynamics has brought philosophical thinking to the dance floor with his approach to a philosophical Trichotomy on life. The “Life Trichotomy Reincarnated - The Remixes EP” contains songs from the “Life Trichotomy EP” that have been remixed by other artists including American Techno pioneer Abe Duque, American Techno and Hip-Hop boundary pusher Astrolith and French Techno experimentalist Mëtël EkTõshi. Like many major philosophers such as Plato, Plotinus, Aquinas, Kant, Socrates, Hegel and Freud who have put forth philosophical principles in groups of three, BB3 has put forth his life Trichotomy principles through his take on Techno music. The first song in the Trichotomy, entitled Inception, communicates the importance of not holding back at the beginning of life. The second song in the Trichotomy, entitled Transformation, communicates the importance of being in control as one moves through life. And the third and final song in the Trichotomy, entitled Culmination, communicates the importance of letting oneself be free as one prepares for one’s next lifetime at the end of a current life. Says BB3, “With the “Life Trichotomy Reincarnated - The Remixes EP”, I wanted other artists to deliver what their perception would be if they reimagined the songs from their own realizations, worlds and life experiences. And each artist came back with incredible Techno dance floor explosions!” The EP also contains instrumental versions of the original songs.

Dawn: Revolve And Evolve - Bates Belk

Straight from the German Magical Forests during Quarantine Lockdown, a New Ambient EP “Hallucinations” Rises

Songwriter Bates Belk has recorded an atmospheric collection of songs inspired by self-isolation around Berlin’s enchanted forests.

BERLIN, Germany – Bates Belk announces his next single release of music from his current album. The new ambient EP “Hallucinations” releases on October 9, 2020. Because of the necessary German Government mandate to self-isolate due to the COVID-19 coronavirus global crisis pandemic, Bates evacuated alone to the majestic forests around Berlin, resulting in several new ambient compositions.

Says Bates, “When the coronavirus panic struck and threw all of us into pandemonium, all reality shifted for me. It was difficult for me to know what was real and what was fictitious in such a chaotic situation…it gave me much angst. And I am not used to being constrained physically…I’ve always been a bird and I need to fly at all times…existing in a lockdown inside my home in Berlin for an extended period of time was just too much for me. So, I retreated alone to the forests around Berlin. They are truly magical…right out of fairy tales. I found refuge in the kindness of nature…ironically the very nature that is currently being destroyed in the other global crisis we are all facing…the climate crisis. But in the forests, my mind was finally able to relax after the introduction of the corona disease…and suddenly in my new self-isolated world, the gigantic trees became my new friends that I would hang out with, the rolling landscapes became my new playgrounds I would dance in and the supernatural rock formations became the walls to my new self-isolated home to protect me in. The forests helped me imagine a new peaceful world, brought me needed calmness and allowed me to have very freeing dream-like days and nights that were then captured in my music. This music is as organic and pure as I have ever produced. And in our diseased world that is filled with endless strife, fear and mayhem, I felt the need to write music that could help us all relax and live in a fantasy world as I was fortunately able to experience in the forests.”

Track-listing from the “Hallucinations” experience ambient EP is presented in a 4-part curation:

1. Hallucinations: One
2. Hallucinations: Two
3. Hallucinations: Three
4. Hallucinations: Four

A special hallucinatory video has also been created for the EP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGoRSpL5eUU) which will be screened at various art festivals and galleries across Europe in Autumn 2020.
