"Computer games don't affect kids;
I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids,
we'd all be running around in darkened rooms,
munching magic pills and
listening to repetitive electronic music."

Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989

A French production duo constantly in search of new beats meets two MCs from North and South America and they form CATERVA, a group at the crossroads of global bass. Beatmakers Ficus and NoProd produce Electro at its most eclectic, incorporating elements of Hip-Hop, Dubstep and Tropical. The MCs, Mr. E and MC Baal, rap to multiple rhythms in their native tongues, English and Spanish. . The group is at the fore of styles from far and wide, and along with the visual effects collective AV-Exciters proposes a video mapping show as part of its live performance.

The United States, along with Israel and Russia are rogue states.  The invasion of Venezuela under false pretenses is to be condemned by all.  Until the foreseeable future I will no longer repost any track from accounts claiming to be from the United States.  I cannot verify each one so to be fair this will not affect accounts that are based in that country but do not display in their profile page.  I hope this can be short lived and that internal pressures will bring things back to normal.  I am truly sorry to all my American friends who disapprove their government's actions and are stuck with it against their will.  That was essentially my policy with Russia and Israel so I don't see why it should be different here.  The idea that the stronger, richer countries and those possessing nuclear arsenals should be free to do whatever they want is abhorrent.  I am not interested to live in a world ruled by bullies.  They should all be confronted and stopped by all of us.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
