"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

MTD Mixtape December 2018

My favourite club is definitely Foufoune Paradise on Dagon Street.

Lyrics :

Foufoune paradise on Dagon Street,
the neon hums your name in liquid gold,
a symphony of shadows and damp heat,
where the secrets of the night unfold.

I meet you there in the pulsing lights,
your laughter tangled in the bassline’s sway,
a scented silhouette against the velvet sky,
dripping honey, melting time away.

(Chorus)
Oh, let's get wild, set the demons free
In this electric moment, just you and me
In your slutty mini skirt, your moves entice
There’s no place like Foufoune paradise.

The air is thick with sweat and desire,
your fingers trace the rhythm on my spine,
a language spoken only in the scarlet fire
of glances lost in your glass of wine.

Dagon Street breathes in our tangled steps,
Your silky curves crave for my gentle touch,
Your marble lips taste of stolen breaths,
The world dissolves to just this much.

(Chorus)
Oh, let's get wild, set the demons free
In this electric moment, just you and me
In your slutty mini skirt, your moves entice
There’s no place like Foufoune paradise.

The city hums a lullaby of chrome,
but here, we are the only truth it knows,
a fleeting spark, a wild, wandering poem,
our bodies tangled in afterglow’s throes.

When dawn ejaculates its haze of gray,
we’ll fade like echoes in the alley’s sigh,
but Foufoune’s pulse will linger, soft and sly,
a ghost of us beneath the streetlight’s eye.

LYRICS: 
These thoughts go drifting by
And I watch them fade away
Where they come from I don’t know
Where they go, who can say
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another twist in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go 

What are the rules in this game
Are there any rules at all?
These thoughts go drifting by
And down the waterfall
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another chapter in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

Now I’m standing by the river
At the foot of the mountainside
Will the grass be any greener
Over on the other side
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another time, another story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

My Walking Shoes Feat Jessica Elisabeth

My Walking Shoes Featuring Jessica Elisabeth

You just stand there (Piano Version) is the reduced, intimate version of my epic track DestKorn – You just stand there, released on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
In fact, the piano version came first, and from it the vocal version evolved - Link: https://soundcloud.com/destkorn/you-just-stand-there
No orchestra, no vocals – just one piano.

Performed on the legendary NOIRE piano (Native Instruments, VST), a custom grand recorded in Hall 3 at Funkhaus Berlin. The sound moves between “Pure” (clear, present) and “Felt” (soft, muted, almost like a whisper), so every note sits right in front of you.

The mood is vulnerable, reflective, but not without hope. The piano quietly says: “You just stand there,” and the melody drifts through sadness, closeness, fragility, and small traces of light. A lot of space, a lot of air, no distraction.

Musical style: minimalist solo piano with a cinematic feel. No beats, no layering – just keys, played slowly on purpose so every tone can breathe.

What is this track for?
For late hours. For thinking. For that moment where you don’t want words, only feeling.

🎧 Piano: NOIRE (Pure / Felt)
🎹 Tempo: 60 BPM
🎵 Genre: Cinematic / Emotional Piano

Deutsch / German
You just stand there (Piano Version) ist die reduzierte, intime Ausgabe meines  Tracks – You just stand there vom Samstag, 1. November 2025.
Eigentlich ist die Piano-Version zuerst entstanden / daraus entwickelte sich dann die Version mit Gesang - Link: https://soundcloud.com/destkorn/you-just-stand-there
Kein Orchester, kein Gesang – nur ein einzelnes Klavier.

Gespielt auf dem legendären NOIRE Piano (Native Instruments), einem speziell präparierten Konzertflügel aus Saal 3 des Berliner Funkhauses. Dieser Klang wechselt zwischen „Pure“ (klar, präsent) und „Felt“ (weich, gedämpft, fast flüsternd) und bringt jede Nuance direkt an die Oberfläche.

Die Stimmung ist verletzlich, nachdenklich, aber nicht hoffnungslos. Das Piano spricht leise: „Du stehst einfach da“ – und trotzdem wandert die Melodie durch Traurigkeit, Nähe, Zerbrechlichkeit und kleine Lichtpunkte. Viel Raum, viel Luft, keine Ablenkung.

Musikalischer Stil: minimalistisches Solo-Piano mit filmischem Charakter. Keine Beats, keine Layer, nur Tasten – bewusst langsam gespielt, damit jede Note wirken kann.

Wofür ist der Track gedacht?
Für ruhige Momente. Nachts allein. Zum Durchatmen. Für Szenen im Kopf, die eigentlich kein Wort vertragen. Genau dafür existiert diese Version.

you just stand there (Piano Version)

I saw a video of a catfish eating a pigeon that had come to drink water on the banks of the Seine River that runs through Paris. From the catfish's perspective, it's easier to eat an unsuspecting pigeon than to go to the trouble of chasing a small fish. The TV commentary said, "Humans build cities, and nature acquires new adaptations." The number of bears in Japan has become so large that they are coming down from the forests into urban areas and attacking people. Global warming has made Japan's summers harsher, depriving us of the opportunity to enjoy the autumn leaves in our beloved forests.

90_ Grandbrothers II Dance (inspired) - released on 11 November 2025

Finally, the time had come and I got to see the Grandbrothers live. At Huxley's Neue Welt in Berlin on 6 November 2025, they presented themselves in a very dance club-like manner. And I was immediately inspired to create this next tribute track. Enjoy this classic dance! 🕺

Reassuringly Confused

revenge is a primitive vile trait that is also unfortunately prevalent and powerful.It causes senselessbrutal violence, that in the end solves no problems and creates a recurring cycle of more violence. The notion to avenge ones ancestors I suppose has to do with a sense of guilt if you "do nothing" but I think you can forgive for the sake of creating a peaceful future for your children without forgetting the qualities of the ancestors or acknowledging their worth.

lyrics

what is revenge worth if no  one's left standing
what is revenge worth if your home is now rubble
what is revenge wort if your children are starving
causeing more pain just causes more trouble

your children are playing and need to feel safe
they have not yet learned how to kill or to hate 
for people who so long ago died
that when therirstories are told you can' tell the truth from the lies

you don't have to forget to forgive
give the children a chance to thrive and to live
do you understand!!

so put down your sword and put away your gun
go back to your store go back to your farm
remember the pain your ancestors caused
then go on with your life for your children and wives

teach the children how to forgive
to learn from the past so the future they build
will be on the right path
don't let the future look like the past

so what's revenge worth...

what is revenge worth?

Oumuam is a small interstellar body spotted on October 19, 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope installed on the Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, while it was 0.2 astronomical unit of the Earth. It is the first identified object to come from outside the Solar System.
Some scientists even think it could be an alien ship! So let's dream a little!

Certains scientifiques pensent même qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un vaisseau extraterrestre ! Alors rêvons un peu !

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

In Mexico, I played with bands like  "Atrás del Cosmos", "Queso Sagrado", " Broken Heart", "Decibel", "Bardo Thodol", "Kathmandu Ensemble", Silent Light. In New York City I played with Bands like, "King"s East", "In The Service Of", "Fist of Facts", "Desire", "Dense Undergrowth"," "Matahari", "Like Wow", "Devil's Breakfast", "Muse Mob", "Atlantis 3000", "Monster", "Zenith", "Andromeda Crash" "Night Shade", I also collaborated with Hector Zazou, Harold Budd, Elliott Levin, Dennis Charles, Tetsu Inoue, Bettina Koster. Barbara Gogan, Salvatore Principato, Ken Man, Scott Hartley, Thomas Truax , Johanna Hugring, Martina Hoogland, Amanda Garrett and many others. For many years I also wrote Jingles for a lot of products like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mc Donalds, Toyota, Kodak, Payless Shoes, Rothman's, Salsa Tabasco, JC Penny, Liberty Science Center, American Heart Association, MCI, Reebok, AT&T, Fanta, Play Movil, etc, I also made music for Viacom writing music for cartoon networks, Bravo TV, Chanel 1, and MTV. Also wrote music for Bill Moyers (PBS)and also for Fax TV in Germany.
