Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Oh, the weather's nice today (So nice)
It's warmer than last may (Definitely)
Did you hear about the neighbors? (Tell me)
They just moved to God knows where (Really?)

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Oh, Traffic’s bad, took me so long (Same for me)
Mornings always feel so wrong (I agree)
Coffee’s cold, but I don’t mind (I prefer tea)
Guess it wakes me up just fine (Hopefully)

Small Talk

SPIRIT was a legenday club in Dortmund with a legendary DJ named Mimmi. A colourful compilation of night owls who had no reason to go home at night went there and stayed until the morning or slept in the toilets. Some of them would have baked eggs among the early truck drivers at the Großmarkt at 06:00. The music was loud, wild and heavy but always surprising because Mimmi was, devilishly smiling from behind the long black hair covering his eyes, standing at the record table. In those days, the word "Claudia" was sprayed all over town for years and years to be seen. Some were wondering who "Claudia" was and who sprayed it and why he took so much effort...  Your name was written down on a 1000 places, spread all over town, you left your traces...

This one is to the memory of Mimmi.

Rest In Me

"you know, American Jean Le Carre shit.  Steely Dan, but counter-intel."
Vaguely about a guy bouncing around with unique skills for weird niche gov't stuff getting interviewed by a fairly high up yet also obscure administrative-state lady he's decided is a creeper who just let some people go but is embroiled somewhere in the fight between Elon and Trump and the Epstein List not being released yet.

And in that way it's like another chapter after As The Say In England, Allahu Akbahr "it's nice to be in demand but the people i meet are wacko" kind of stuff.  Interesting grist for movie plots i suppose
And perhaps with Jump-Ball For Sodom And Gomorrah it's a loose trilogy? :)
N.B.: "misericord" here is in the archaic sense of a dagger like in dungeons & dragons

Lyrics: 

I heard there was a secret cord
You plug it in and you meet the Lord

From the black art of electricians
We turned to the follies of politicians
And we set our selves to seek within
But ended up scratching our gourds

She explained she was in a mire
Of having to replace a couple of DUI hires
I declined to inquire as to the reason to fire
Her previously shining direct reports

She queried my views on corporate vision
And my leadership style position
Was that my internal stance was rather patrician
I interjected after being asked my favorite vice
That the gap in my resume was 
When i was stepping in the same river twice


I'd won my rather politic argument
But she was butthurt that her rhetoric was outclassed
And then she came back and sassed
People are really pissed
That we don't have the list
It's all the evidence the government amassed
On the guy who was amassing evidence
On people in the government

It seemed these deficient people 
Couldn't afford
To survive this lady's misericord
For being insufficiently on board
So that was how it went

though my answer had to be no
and the interview was a miss
as i got up to go
it was plain as far as i could see
that they should tokenize her demonic energy
and distribute her on the chain as a service
and that conclusion was time well spent

🎧 Epica – A Cinematic Odyssey by Keith Richie

"Music is a potent mood regulator. Simply by listening, our frame of mind changes. It can open a portal to another dimension where all sense of normality vanishes. "

Epica is a sweeping, cinematic journey through sound — a richly layered, emotionally expansive album that fuses ambient electronica, Berlin-school sequencing, and science fiction themes into a single immersive experience.

Crafted by Texas-based composer Keith Richie, Epica builds upon the legacy of his prior work (Ambient Highways, Skylines, For the Willow Wept...) and draws clear inspiration from ambient and electronic greats such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and John Carpenter. But what sets Epica apart is its deeply narrative structure — an album that plays like the score to an epic sci-fi or fantasy film that exists only in the listener’s imagination.

Each track serves as a chapter in a larger story: from the ethereal swell of “Remote Isolation” and the meditative pulse of “Rebirth,” to the childlike wonder of “Tiny Creatures” and the twilight tension of “Dusk.” The album peaks with the soaring title track “Epica,” where layered synths, cinematic drums, and Mimi Page’s haunting vocals conjure visions of interstellar heroism. The closing track, “There Are Other Worlds Than These,” named after Richie’s own publishing label and referencing Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, delivers a powerful finale — triumphant, textured, and emotionally resonant.

Like a great novel, Epica is filled with both wonder and tension, beauty and darkness. It’s music built not just for listening, but for feeling — perfect for dreaming, writing, reading, or escaping into other worlds. It invites replay after replay, each listen revealing deeper textures and hidden details.

Fans of sci-fi film scores, ambient storytelling, and imaginative soundscapes will find much to explore here. Epica is not just music — it’s a sonic universe waiting to unfold.

“There Are Other Worlds Than These” is an original ambient composition by Keith Richie that explores the concept of alternate realities and unseen paths—emotional and cinematic in tone, with layered textures that pull listeners across invisible thresholds.

The title pays subtle homage to a well-known phrase from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, but the piece itself exists as a personal meditation on change, choice, and the universes we build within ourselves.

🔊 A journey beyond the veil, through soundscapes shaped by wonder, loss, and imagination.
