Few songs from our debut album Genesis, find more and get it on Bandcamp!

01 Intro

Had fun with some grooves Benoît wrote a few weeks back, trying to come up with riffs that followed the drum patterns. 

Nothing too finished, this is just a collection of riffs without any real progression but this might make it into US album 2, given the proper rework. :)

I wrote this song using a 7-string Ibanez that I borrowed from a friend. It was the second song written for what I would later start calling "Cloudkicker" but I never finished it.

Seeing how today is my first official release with TesseracT, I figured I share one of the two auditions that got me in the band in the first place. I received "Deception" literally the night before I went to track it. Some of the timing might be off, but thats because I basically had to learn it while tracking it, as I was not familiar with the tune. Also, I didn't know whether or not to track the backing harmonies, so I left Dan's in there. I also do not use NEARLY as much vibrato when preforming this now hahaha. Anyways, don't take it too seriously as it was just an audition ^__^

TesseracT audition (Deception)

Cut shorter, faster & re-molded "from the old tapes". 

MMXII version. This is big. Rocks now. Somehow.

Dedicated to Hans-Juergen Wischnewski. For obvious reason.

Btw, "guitarless" doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing sounding like guitar in it.

Kowloon Walled City was the densest place in the world, ever.

By its peak in the 1990s, the 6.5 acre Kowloon Walled City was home to at least 33,000 people (with estimates of up to 50,000).  That's a population density of at least 3.2 million per square mile.  For New York City to get that dense, every man, woman, and child living in Texas would have to move to Manhattan.  

To put it another way, think about living in a 1,200 square foot home.  Then imagine yourself living with 9 other people.  Then imagine that your building is only one unit of a twelve-story building, and every other unit is as full as yours.  Then imagine hundreds those buildings crammed together in a space the size of four football fields.

We can't really imagine it, either.

Kowloon Walled City began as a military fort in Kowloon, a region in mainland China.  In 1898, China signed a land lease with Great Britain, giving the British control of Hong Kong, Kowloon, and other nearby territories.  But the lease stipulated that the fort in Kowloon would remain under Chinese jurisdiction.  

Over time, the fort became abandoned, leaving the area subject to neither Chinese nor British authority.  This legal gray zone was attractive to displaced and marginalized people.  Thousands of people moved there after the war with Japan broke out.  Even more people moved there after the Communist Revolution.  It attracted gangsters, drug addicts, sex workers, and refugees.  And it also drew a lot of normal people from all over China who saw opportunity there.  

They built the city building by building, first blanketing the area of the fort, then building vertically. Buildings were packed together so tightly in the Walled City that the alleys were nearly pitch-black in the day time.  Electricity and water were brought in by illegal or informal means.  

The Walled City gained a reputation as a sort of den of iniquity--there were high levels of prostitution, gambling, mafia activity, and, for some reason, rampant unlicensed dentistry.

But an order did emerge.  The Walled City had no schools, but there was an informal kindergarten.  A resident's organization settled disputes.  And there was lots of industry: a fishball factory, a noodle factory, metalworking shops, a textile mill.  There were stores, restaurants.  You could even receive mail in the Walled City.

Kowloon Walled City was torn down in 1993.  Today, it's a park, and most traces of the city are gone. But the memory of the city lives on.  It was featured in the non-verbal film Baraka, plays a cameo role in Bloodsport. It's also served as the setting in a number of video games, including most recently Call of Duty: Black Ops

This week's episode was produced by Nick van der Kolk.  He spoke with photographer Greg Girard and architect Aaron Tan, who both spent time in the Walled City.  Nick also talked to as Brian Douglas, who helped design Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Nick is the director of the award-winning podcast, Love + Radio.  You can also hear him over at Snap Judgment.

The parenthetical title didn't make it to the album. It's in reference to this:

The Discovery Demos - The Discovery (Où le Ciel et la Terre se Touchent...)

The ebow intro didn't make the cut but it's pretty cool. I also changed the name because I thought a Simpsons reference would be too silly.
