In his final days,my father vividly saw things which obviously weren't there. He was otherwise sound of mind,so this was very odd. That's when I found out about Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome causes a person whose vision has started to deteriorate to see things that aren't real.

The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events, people or places.

They're only visual and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.

It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They're not caused by a mental health problem or dementia.

People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions aren't real, even if they're vivid.
There are 2 main types of hallucination that people with Charles Bonnet syndrome tend to experience.

They may see:

simple repeated patterns
complex images of people, objects or landscapes
Simple repeated patterns can take the form of grids, shapes or lines, which can appear in bright or vivid colours. The patterns may lay across or cover everything the person sees.

More complex hallucinations can involve people, places, animals and insects.


There's a great big dog
Outside my window
Why he's alone,I really don't know
I can see him there
Plain as the day

There's a small bird there
On my windowsill
If you look really hard
He's there still
I can see him there
Plain as the day

I think they're trying to kill me
But I don't really mind
I long to be free
To be unconfined
I can see it now
Plain as the day

I see myself with your mother
On a golden afternoon
No wheelchair to roll me
My legs still below me
I hope it happens soon

Charles Bonnet

Sorry we've been really inactive on here for awhile because we were so busy preparing for BTV! Thanks everyone who joined us for some all-new experimental music videos and performances. If you'd like to be on the next episode, hit us up on here or on instagram and let's chat.

This is the audio for our performance. It was an old demo we put aside for years and recently started re-working because it felt like the time to pick it up again. We wrote this song for Tota Kaneko, an avant-garde haiku writer and peace activist. We loosely translated one of his haiku as “Wake up there might be a war, so wander in the flower fields” and used that as the chorus of the song and the inspiration for the other lyrics.
If you'd like to check out the video: https://youtu.be/2Kv8EgKv20g

This was a DAW-less setup, using midi and live looping. Gear: CZ-101, SA-1, RC-202, SP-404MKII, Model D, Microfreak, soprano ukulele, Voice Live Touch, Keith McMillen 12-step, Streichfett string synth, and lots of fx pedals. 

And if you'd like to check out the whole stream with the other artists, here it is: https://youtu.be/2wEen7IqtOw

Thanks for stopping by!

Lyrics:

Robot hand to robot weapon
"Having a war is so much fun! 
Robot country's number 1,
land of the rising, sinking sun"
Robot friends, it's just begun
They'll teach us through animation
Propaganda to color in the schools 
Everyone follow the robot rules

Wake up there might be a war, so wander in the flower fields

Vote for Robot A or Robot B 
or skip it all and watch TV
It'll show you how fun life is 
if you drink lots of robot "fizz"
Government-issued conversation topics 
7-D glasses take you to the tropics
Who needs a holiday?
Work yourself to sleep every day 

Wake up there might be a war, so wander in the flower fields

Robot hand to robot heart
Put down gun, be still, be smart 
Inner world holds mystic treasure
Government feeds us robot pleasures
That way we won't protest the laws that we detest
I'm sure you can figure out the rest...
This is a robot loyalty test! 

You've let the propaganda take you away from critical thinking.

Come and wander in the flowers...

"Robots In The Flower Fields" Live Session For BTV Ep. 2 (2022)

Had a lot of fun remixing this fabulous track of Oliver Heldens! ;)

Wanted to keep the groove of the original which has that Nu-disco sound and give it some more House feel... Hope you like the result! :)

Okay. Here’s the thing. I obviously know what’s happening right now, but I refuse to feed the frenzy, the paranoia, as I refuse to feed the fear. I’m not discarding it, and I understand that some felt the need to produce tracks about it, and they did an awesome job. I guess it’s all covered, with no need to add to it. I’ve got plenty of pasta….and toilet paper, so I’m wealthy.
So, joke aside here, I choose to do something upbeat, something to dance to maybe. 
So yes, let’s be safe out there, but let’s keep living and being happy. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

LYRICS : When this Corona Crisis will be over, When this Pandemic will be finished
Will Humanity Consider the lessons learned & keep the Positive consequences of the safety measures

Seems the Virus has slow down our World that was going mad
Earth breath again better & animals has been preserved

So much humans did die  is so sad, but what will come after of the living ?

Let's Come a NEW TIME, Come a NEW LIFE, a NEW WORLD, FOR EVERYONE 

Let's Come a NEW TIME, Come a NEW LIFE FOR THE EARTH & THE NATURE...

Economic crisis isn't an answer
National Banks can make more money to avoid it

Now that every nation, everybody Poor & rich has been in the same boat
& that even heads of government that was on their ivory tours
know also the struggle for survive

There shouldn't be no more inequalities, no more misery, 
in reality there should be enough for all

Let's Come a NEW TIME, Come a NEW LIFE, a NEW WORLD, FOR EVERYONE 

Let's Come a NEW TIME, Come a NEW LIFE, FOR THE EARTH & THE NATURE...

We hope there will be still less pollution, less waste, less stress
Hope there will still be no more wars, more solidarity & peace everywhere
Hope Humanity will stay the best way, as it should be...

Let's Come a NEW TIME, a NEW LIFE FOR EVERYONE

A NEW TIME

  Gather and hold all your groceries
as tight as you can in your arms
the mask pulls your ears in a funny little way
and your glasses are steamed up
so you can't find your way
Cancel your trip your going nowhere today
don't even think about yourself.. in times like these
Cancel your trip with the plight of bare essentials
Ive been lost in the store and I can't find essential things that I need    

Ive been locked behind doors and I can’t find the things that I wanted to have   
Are they the things I really needed at all 

 Time to Re-evaluate and Distill.
