PROPHECY

REVOLKISS

SUFFERING

DYSTOPIA

Hip-hop, electronic rock art pop “muse ssik for the apocalypse”

AMBULAM

“ASTRONAUT” is a cinematic electro-rock anthem about searching for new worlds after the collapse of the old. Blending heavy guitars, haunting synths, and emotional vocals, REVOLKISS delivers a dark yet hopeful soundtrack for the end times. For fans of apocalyptic love stories, late-night drives, and the collision of raw emotion with futuristic soundscapes.

ASTRONAUT

 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping...

DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOU STEVEN
BUT I KNOW YOU KNOW THE RAVEN
PA AND POE TO AND FRO
LIKE A SWEET SOFT PENDULUM PACING

MAIS AUJOURD’HUI C’EST LE PRÉSENT 
ET CETTE CHANSON EST MON PRÉSENT 
COMING FROM ME TO YOU
THROUGH SOMEONE WHO
DEARLY LOVES YOU

WARM REGARDS TO DEARIE NONNA 
YOUR OLD AND WISE LADY MADONNA 
ART AND FINANCE
WORDS AND SILENCE
OH WHAT A LOVELY WAY TO CROSS THE DISTANCE 
AND BLEND THE AGES

DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE FUTURE 
AND I SURE DO HATE TO LECTURE
STILL STEVEN CARPE DIEM
DAY BY DAY LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW

ET AUJOURD’HUI C’EST LE PRÉSENT
ET AUJOURD’HUI EST TON PRÉSENT
ONLY YOU AND YOU ALONE
PLUS YOUR WHOLE LOVING BUNCH ALL AROUND

ALL IN ONE AND ALL TOGETHER
SCOTT YOUR HARDLY YOUNGER BROTHER 
JAMIE SHAWN JILLIAN
DIMBO GODZILLA JASON & SAM
DID I FORGET ANYONE?

DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOU SUSAN 
ALL I KNOW IS LUCKY STEVEN
PA & POE LIFE & CO
UPSTREAM DOWNSTREAM
AS LONG AS IT IS FLOWING


PA & POE (Lyrics) Song for Steven

As often happens, this didn’t go to plan, possibly for the best.

Several stretched and treated versions underlie an increasingly chaotic mangled version of the track. That’s all.

I played a lot of 78s as a kid (I still have many of them) so I love the old shellac crackle and hiss, which is why it’s featured and exaggerated.

The Assignment: Rework a shared recording from over 100 years ago

There is just one step to this project: This week’s project, the next to last of 2025, is a community remix. In an act of globe-spanning asynchronous holiday-season camaraderie, we’ll all work from the same shared source material, a recording that dates back well over 100 years. Download the performance of “Nina” by Hans Kindler (1892 – 1949) and remix it and rework it to your heart’s delight. The recording credits G. B. Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) as the work’s composer, but more recently it has become attributed to Vincenzo Legrenzo Ciampi (1719 – 1762).
