Name: Hexad II by Brillman
Duration: 11 min 38 s
Description: My latest album release “Hexad” is exclusive to Soundcloud and consists of 4 tracks all related through themes/sounds and by using a maximum of 6 synthesizers (+ vox samples of me from my Octatrack). Hexad I-IV differ somewhat in mood, structure, melody & length. Slower, more downtempo vibe here as the tempo sits around 88-110 bpm. Enjoy!

Sorrow. Fear. Love.

Les Violons De L'automne, a title inspired by Paul Verlaine's "Chanson d'automne".

Hexad II

The First Sunrise

True End

lyrics:

Is the glass half full
Or half empty, bull
The glass is too big
And I took a swig

Now it's in my veins
And I'm feeling the pains
Of post-ironic memes
Of monocultural teams

Writin' their minor songs
Discrete dabs, no passin' bongs
Let me play you this one
This is serious anti-fun

I've been drinkin' that Gen Z pee
It's problematic just talkin' to me
All I did was mention a Beatles tune
And your angry ass decorated the room

I've been drinkin' that Gen Z pee
But maybe I should spend more time in the street
I've got a sign with two sides, scrawled
Just tryin' to see you, I'm gonna crawl

Just attempt to conceive
What privacy may relieve
Tyranny of the self
A manic grandmother elf

Those prior problematics
Now fermenting spaztics
Your songs ain't so bad
Just call 'em all "I'm Sad"

Poor you
The poor things

I've been drinkin' that Gen Z pee
Now I'm mired in madness, clipped speech intensity
I fixed up the house, I cleaned the toilet
But you didn't stick around long enough to soil it

Hope I didn't spoil your party (What party?)
I've just been listenin' to Jen's E.P.
Me and that girl, I mean, honestly, like, for me
In my opinion, personally, it's like, seriously
For me, I mean

Gen Z Pee (or, Jen's E.P.) [P×2 Demo]
