Campfire Stories is a collaboration project with ten tracks, mostly covers but with a unique futuristic improvised & primitive twist.
It's about a small group of people, surviving a bad and empty world. The Internet is gone, cities are dark and life is hard. They share urban legends around the campfires under a starry sky and try to find new friendships in a world without the Web.

Not This (24/02/2022) by Irina

My heart is bleeding, worn and torn
Do not resuscitate
I don’t know where I am from
In a crisis state

Believed in better, trusted lies
At least I had some pride
But now, a war before my eyes
The terror bona fide

Unsure of my identity
What will keep me safe
Culture losing sanctity
Digging its own grave

Hypocrisy and bitter crime
“Civilians won’t be harmed”
Strangled by the darkest time
The Earth – shaken, alarmed

Although I’m not responsible
I’m feeling shame and guilt
I thought it wasn’t possible
But they grabbed the hilt

A slash, another, children scream
Displaced by politicians
God, let this be an awful dream
Inhumane conditions

My heart is bleeding, worn and torn
I cannot bear to witness
Generations not yet born
Never seeing kindness

Endless sanctions, tensions, greed
Fighting one another
Nothing’s ever been agreed
Upon I now discover

Who am I? Afraid to ask
Powerless, that’s what
Distance is no easy task
Cannot stay afloat

A ghost has occupied my place
Emotions go to slumber
Cannot bear to see my face
While fields shall burn to umber

Aggression, a cold-blooded act
But real blood will be spilled
How many people won’t know home
How many will be killed

Historical event, God, no
Don’t want to live through this
My heart is broken, all time low
Not this, not this, not this

Strangers In The Night - Nic Evennett feat. Jules Bangs - OUT NOW

A CD's worth of Max musings. An assembly of recordings I've made over the past 10 years or so, mostly constructed from my own Max patches, with  bit of guitar, keys and bass thrown in here and there.

1. A Moment In Time (binaural)

This version of Gloomy Sunday is part of the Campfire Stories collaboration project. The 'more stories...' link will guide you to the album which is expected to be ready for mastering in 2020.
Vocals by Irina (  @irina-951237464 ). I found her acapella and I 'saw' a movie unfolding when I listened to it (many times). Her interpretation is the best outthere and I hope my music emphasizes that some more.

Don't forget to check out her account because her works are brilliant. Cinematic interpretation by Robert.

Vocals by Courtney, Irina, Alan, Nic, Julia, Madi  and myself. 
Poem written and performed by Sintamental

Prologue feat. the cast and crew

In a possible future, the Internet is down, there's no power, no food and no government. Most of the music is done with improvised instruments like cans, furniture and garbage. And the hits of today have become classical / folk songs. This is one of them.

This version of Blue Monday is part of the Campfire Stories project, 
Originally conceived by New Order in 1983.
Produced by Robert Pabst | Cinematic 
Vocals by Courtney.

Blue Monday feat. Courtney

Vocals by Little Ashes (@littleashes) and Irina (@irina-951237464)
Composed by Robot Koch (@robot-koch) which is one of the best musicians out there and should work for Hollywood. 
Transformed and arranged by Robert, updated in 2021

seven minutes of a self-generating Buchla 200e patch.  love the randomly subtle timbral shifts and articulations that arise.  listen in a large room if possible or headphones otherwise.  this patch almost seems to breathe. to see a photo and video of the patch go to http://m.matrixsynth.com/2012/08/krell-muzak-by-todd-barton-on-buchla.html

Lyrics:

If we're not one then let's be water,
If we're not flowing we're not real.
I love your colour when you falter,
You're glowing sapphire in the steel.

Step out your world and drape it round me,
I'll slide my arms through what's undone.
We are the could and would and should be,
Where rivers blush under the sun.
Where rivers blush under the sun.

And be that as it may, still, still...
There's something inexplicable
In finding all of me could be all of you.

Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak.
Just for a while, don't speak
And listen...

I lost the girl in me but caught her,
Your boy was tired of everyone.
They bound together in the water
And shimmered silver in the sun.

If We're Not One Then Let's Be Water (Nic Evennett and Classical Glass as Cellar Door)

midnight songs...

---

under this hood of mine,
I walk the night
to find you.
the moon says,
"I promise you, I promise you, 
go this way."
the click, click, clicking of my heels
and my tongue
swallowed by fog. 
there's nothing more.
will I find you?
will I find you?

find you

Choose Me
